"Here are the costumes I got, and please don't be so picky," Sana said, showing a variety of dark-themed styles. "Let me see," Jeongyeon responded, trying on each suit in front of the mirror in her room, with only Sana, Momo, and her present.

"The red one looks good," Momo commented. "This one, this one is so good," Jeongyeon said, selecting an outfit by combining two costumes, surprising Sana and Momo.

"Don't tell anyone now; we'll surprise them," Momo suggested with a smile. "What did you decide?" Nayeon entered the room abruptly, causing the three to panic and swiftly hide the outfit from her.

Annoyed, Nayeon urged, "Guys, be serious, please," trying to catch a glimpse of the outfit, but Sana and Momo quickly packed everything into a suitcase and left the room, ignoring her pleas.

"I want to see too!" Nayeon exclaimed, but they had already left, leaving Jeongyeon laughing at the situation.

"Why are you laughing?" Nayeon questioned in a serious tone, slowly approaching Jeongyeon with a piercing look. They both froze, locked in each other's gaze. Jeongyeon stuttered,

"I-I-I... I'll wear it tomorrow, and then you'll see it."

Nayeon smiled at Jeongyeon's cuteness, gently wrapping her arms around Jeongyeon's waist, embracing her tightly, resting her chin on Jeongyeon's shoulder.

Jeongyeon's heart raced as she found herself wrapped in a whirlwind of emotions. The warmth of Nayeon's touch sent a rush of affection through her veins. With a gentle embrace, she lifted Nayeon, feeling the joy in her laughter reverberate through her soul. As they twirled together, their eyes locked in a dance of unspoken words, brimming with love and tenderness.

"Now put me down," Nayeon requested with a chuckle, and Jeongyeon complied.

"I love you,"

     Nayeon expressed after giving Jeongyeon a quick peck on the cheek before running away out of shyness.

"She's shy about this, seriously!"

Jeongyeon remarked, pointing to her cheek where Nayeon's kiss left a mark, trying to hide her own shyness. She kept smiling but eventually went to take a shower, thinking about Nayeon.

Kai was getting impatient, urging Momo and Sana to hurry up as they struggled to pack all the cameras into a bag for their upcoming two-day trip to the castle. The group consisted of Jeongyeon, Nayeon, Momo, Sana, and Jake. Kyungsoo was not joining them because Nayeon didn't want him to. Kai teasingly called them "losers" as he took the heavy camera bag from Momo and Sana, placing it in the car.

Momo, feeling frustrated, retorted,

"You carry it then, silly."

Meanwhile, Dahyun also expressed her desire to go on the trip, but Mr. Arthur was not allowing her to. Despite Dahyun's repeated pleas, Mr. Arthur remained firm in his decision. Momo looked at Dahyun, feeling sympathetic, and Dahyun pouted in disappointment.

Jeongyeon, noticing Momo's sad expression, intervened by saying,

"It's okay, let her come along. We'll take care of her, Mr. Arthur."

Eventually, Mr. Arthur relented, nodding in agreement. Dahyun hugged her grandfather and excitedly got into the car. The group split into two cars, with Momo, Dahyun, Jeongyeon, and Nayeon in one car, and Jake, Kai, and Sana in the other car.

Nayeon was observing Jeongyeon and entertaining some impure thoughts while they were driving. Jeongyeon looked quite appealing in her white button-up shirt, black trousers, and brown leather belt, with her sleeves casually rolled up.
