Jealous

First Person POV

"No! Sit with me!" Sana exclaimed and pouted at me.

"She's sitting with us today, sorry." Chaeyoung and Dahyun grabbed my arms from either side and dragged me to the back seats of the van.

I saw Sana being all angry and pouty in the distance, rolling her eyes in annoyance.

"I-I'll sit with you g-guys another time. You know how Sana is when she gets mad." I tried to be all awkward and nervous in order to escape but they didn't budge.

"You don't spend any time with us! You're with her all the time. She'll be fine, it's ok." Dahyun reassured me and hugged me from the side.

Have I really been neglecting everyone else because of how obsessed I am with Sana? Now that someone has pointed it out, it makes sense. I need to start spending time with the others too, otherwise it'll be unfair. So ultimately, I surrendered to them.

"So, what is today's schedule?"

"Oh we're just going to the studio. Apparently we have to record a TV program? I'm not sure myself." Chaeyoung shrugged.

"I heard from someone they'll make us do fun activities." Dahyun added, both me and Chaeyoung listened to her attentively.

"Oh well, nothing too difficult I suppose." And the conversation on that topic ended there, after that, we talked about random things.

After reaching the studio, our makeup and hair was re-done professionally, and we were briefed on what we were supposed to do, what the activities were and all that other formal stuff. The first few activities were either solo or us being divided into two teams.

In the next activity, we were supposed to get into pairs and play the game 'Fireboy & Watergirl'. It's a simple two player co-op game where you have to get through levels. Since there were 5 duos, the winners would be the ones who would complete the given level first. We were provided with the liberty and freedom of choosing our partners but I wasn't sure who to choose. I was looking at the floor nervously, waiting for someone to approach me. From the corner of my eye, I saw someone walking towards me but before they could reach, someone else came in front of me and held my hand.

"We can win this." Mina said with a small smile on her face and I smiled back widely. She's not usually the one to take initiative so you know she's serious about winning when she approaches you first. Besides, we're both video game lovers and often play together, so we know each other's strengths and weaknesses, making us a compatible duo.

By the time I turned around to get a look at the other person who was initially approaching me, they were gone. I blinked my eyes in confusion and shrugged it off.

Once the timer began, both of our competitive spirits came out. We were desperately trying to come first, but in the process, we were having so much fun and laughing merrily, especially at seeing the others fail miserably. In the end, of course we were the winners. We've actually played this game together before, just didn't tell anyone or else they would have changed the game beforehand. Cheating? No, it's just called being prepared.

The managers gave the winners two coupons for a free meal at a restaurant that had scrumptious food, it was one of our favorites. Mina and I were delighted at this and gladly accepted it.

"Hey! Nobody told me there was a food prize, otherwise I would have tried harder!" Momo complained, making us all burst out into laughter.

Sana's POV

My mood was already ruined because I couldn't sit next to Y/n in the van today, but hey, it was alright. She needs to spend time with the others too and can sit with someone else every once in a while.
