Chae POV

My phone started vibrating in weird intervals while I was having lunch with my friends. I didn't know what was going on but as I was sliding my phone out of my pocket I realised what It could possibly be.

Its mina, she's on my home screen with her arms folded. I looked around the table to see if any of them were paying any attention to me. Luckily they weren't.

"What?" I asked In a hushed voice. Is she fidgeting right now? I can see her swaying a little in place and she's tapping both her index fingers together. "Umm. If you don't mind me asking, why did that girl call you chaeng?" She looked up to me after asking.

"Oh that. It's just a nickname my friends call me." I let out a sigh of relief. I thought it was something more serious but mina was just curious. Which is still messing with my mind by the way. How can she be advance enough to understand the concept of curiosity? Or any human emotion for that matter?

I thought that kind of technology is still decades away from our reach but I guess not because here she is in my phone asking about my friends.

"Then what about the girl that called you Chaeyoungie just now? Why was that?" She asks with that same curious look on her face. "That too." I said with a small smile. She looks cute when she's clueless.

"Oh. Can I call you that too then?" I could hear the excitement in her voice. I noticed she gets jumpy over the littlest things. "Sure mina, since we are friends now you call call me that." I said still with a hushed voice and a little wink. She looked down playing with her fingers again. I think I heard a faint okay from her but I'm not sure.

"Ooh you video calling with someone cub?" I flinched when I heard that voice right next to my ear. It was dahyun unnie looking at mina on my phone. Shit. How do I explain this to them? Think chaeng!

"Wah she's so pretty!" She exclaimed and I saw how the entire group just whipped their heads toward us. Great.

"No unnie, actually this is an AI assistant that I made I got tired of that siri chick on my phone." I said now talking to the whole group because their attention is on us. great excuse chaeyoung! Self high five!

I looked down at my phone to see mina with her hands crossed glaring at me. Oh no she looks pissed. I gave her a signal to play along with me.

"Ooh really so can she do anything we ask?" Sana unnie excitedly asked as she jumped on dahyun's back.

"Yes anything and everything" I said proudly. "How do I do it?" Sana unnie asks
"Just say hey sharon and then give her a command" I could see sana unnie's eyes sparkling with excitement at this point.

"Hey Sharon play feel special mv on YouTube for us" sana unnie said in a slow manner like she was talking to a baby.

I looked down at mina and she somehow looks more pissed then before. I gave her a pleading look and my signature pout. She sighed and opened YouTube and pulled up the MV.

"Wah that's so cool that you made this chaengie" Sana unnie said as she clapped.
"And you're right dubu, she is very pretty."

"Let me see" that was tzuyu shoving dahyun unnie to a side and in turn shoving sana unnie as well because she was on dahyun's back.

"Tsk. She's okay I guess. I'm prettier." She said flipping her hair and going back to her seat. What's wrong with this one now?

I looked down to a basically 'fuming with anger' mina and I gave her an apologetic look. I look up to see all my unnie's now looking at tzuyu.

"Did you switch roles with nayeon or am I missing something?" Jeongyeon unnie asks and immediately receives a slap on her shoulder from her girlfriend.

"Yeah she's right that's usually nayeon unnie's thing" that was out leader-nim joining the conversation as well.

"Nom nom nom" *glance at tzuyu* "Nom nom nom" *glance back at nayeon* "Nom nom".... That's our momo unnie being her relatable self.

"Whatever" tzuyu shrugged as she stood up. "Come on class has almost started" she said to me. I gave mina a little wave and put her back in my pocket. I followed tzuyu to class.

It's the end of the school day and I'm still with tzuyu because we met up again in our last class of the day and also the only class i actually enjoy. Arts.

We were walking home with tzuyu holding both our bags when tzuyu suddenly spoke. "Wanna go to the park on the way home?" She asks.

She hasn't said a word to me since lunch and now she's asking me to go to the park with her.

I was really looking forward to doing some more tests on mina's body but... ...

Okay let me rephrase that. I was really looking forward to running some tests on mina's programming but it has been a while since I went out with my other bestfriend so I can't really refuse.

"Okay let's go then" I said giving her a tender smile. We walked in the park to our usual bench where we frequented. We sat there looking at the setting sun. I should really do this more often. Go out to parks and stuff. You know, normal human things.

"Tzuyu ah?" I called her softly still looking at the scenery. She hummed as a reply that she's listening.

"What was that today? At lunch?" I ask her carefully not to ruin her mood again. "Its nothing just forget about it" she said giving me a smile as well.

Not long after I felt something touch my hand. I look down I see tzu's fingers slowly interlacing with mine.

I was a bit taken aback by this. Tzuyu is usually the least touchy one in our group. Close to jihyo unnie. She doesn't like kisses and hugs and would just glare at us when we try to do that. So her holding my hand was new to me.

I didn't bring it up because I didn't want to ruin her mood. She seemed in deep thought. I was just sitting there looking at the orange light bounce off her face as she slowly rubbed her thumb on the back of my hand. I rested my head on her shoulder as we stayed silent looking at the sun bleed out at the horizon.

3rd Person POV

It was a quite pleasant day for chaeyoung having a less then usually boring day at school and watching the sunset with one of her bestfriends.

What they didn't notice was there was a watchful eye watching both of them since they got out of school.

Black suit, scarred face and a slim built body watching them from behind the giant tree a few paces away from them.

"Hello? Ma'am? Yes, I've found her."
