IN THE MORNING (5AM), about six people were already up and out of bed. A few claimed that it was because they felt a little uneasy and a few claimed that they normally woke up at this time.

"Does anyone want eggs?" S1 asked, boiling water on the stove. S1 was one of the girls that couldn't get enough sleep due to too many thoughts and uneasiness.

Ever since she had arrived, she felt that it was all just too strange. All of the other girls had gotten so confortable so fast and she just couldn't understand. Was this "MOD Lake" really genuine? There was something inside her telling her that it was fine to relax, but i guess she was just feeling a little homesick.

"Me!" S23 replied happily as she sat on a stool by the kitchen island. S21 sat on the stool beside her with a small smile, "Me too, please, unnie."

"Okay. How do you like them?" She asked, getting a few eggs out of the fridge.

"Scrambled." The pair said in unison, looking at eachother in surpise. They laughed and high fived eachother.

S1 looked at them with a motherly smile, finding them cute. She chuckled, cracking the eggs against the edge of the frying pan, "Alright. You want salt, or anything?"

The girls shook their heads and S1 nodded, getting to work. Beside her, S3 was making herself some toast quietly. Her head was still in her dreams.

The other two girls that were also awake at this time were watching a movie on the sofa, snuggled together. "Can you turn it up a little bit, please, unnie?" S17 asked, turning her head slightly to face S7.

The pair had gotten up at around the same time since they were in the same room. They were watching 'Big Hero 6' on the huge tv that sat in the living room.

S7 hummed in response and reached over to grab the remote, turning it up in volume as per S17's request.

A few minutes later, S8 walked into the kitchen with her shoulders slightly slumped. She sighed loudly, "Ugh, i want to sleep but i'm just not letting myself sleep. Help me, unniee." She walked up behind S1 and hugged her, her face digging in against her shoulder.

S1 wiggled on the spot, "Yah, that tickles!" Her hands were still scrambling eggs. "How am i supposed to help you, S8? Try take a nap in the living room, or something. A few others are watching a movie in there, maybe that'll wake you up." She suggested.

S8 unravelled her arms from S1 and used her middle finger to slide her glasses up her nose, "What are they watching?"

S23 sits up straight in her seat as she listens to their conversation, waiting for her scrambled eggs, "They're watching 'Big Hero 6', i'm sure, unnie."

S8's eyebrows raised as her eyes lit up, "I'm gonna go watch it then."

As she walked through to the living room, she stretched her arms above her head and yawned. "Are you guys really watching 'Big Hero 6'?" She asked blinking slowly and fixing her glasses again.

S7's head whipped towards the girl in the door frame when she heard her voice. "S8." She paused, appreciating the way the girl looked when she had just woken up; Baggy pyjamas, rustled hair, drowsy eyes, thin glasses, slouched posture and a slightly raspy voice. She breathed in, "Good morning, dummy."

"Morning." S8 yawned again, running a hand through her hair. "So, is it true then?!" She asked excitedly, even though she looked like she had just arose from the soil.

S7 chuckled, and patted the spot on the sofa next to her, "Yes, we are indeed watching 'Big Hero 6'. You like it?"

She walked towards the sofa and sat beside S7. The older girl watched her as she smiled, thinking about how cute she was.

S8 hummed and nodded as she snuggled closer into S7, "It reminds me of... Well, an old childhood friend, i guess." She leaned in closer as she spoke, her head just about resting on S7's shoulder.

As the movie went on, S17 couldn't help but notice the way S7 looked at S8. Like the world would stop spinning if she simply got a papercut. She noticed the way she would suddenly forget how to breathe whenever she looked at her.

It kind of hurt. She knew that nothing could ever happen between them, though. Of course, not. But it still made her heart feel a pang of jealousy whenever she noticed. She envied S8 for that matter.

S17 sat up and stretched her arms, "I'm gonna get some breakfast, see you later, unnies." She smiled sweetly as she walked out of the living room and towards the kitchen.

She thought that she should stop this attraction towards S7 before she fell in deeper. And spending more time with her wouldn't resolve the case.

As the duo in the living room sat in silence and watched the movie in subtitles on the screen infront, they felt comfortable.

S8's thoughts, however, wandered off to something other than how much she wanted to squeeze Baymax out of adorableness.

She considered them for a few minutes, her heart beating faster as she grew the courage to talk to S7 about it. "Unnie." She whispered eventually.

S7's attention was brought towards her from the tv. She looked at her, "Hm?"

The younger girl's heart raced, "Do you think the staffs of this place would ever know what actually happens in here?" She questioned, looking up at the girl with bangs, "Like, have you ever wondered why we need to keep our names to ourselves?"

S7 sat in silence as she explored S8's face, her expression remaining unfazed. "Yes, i have."

S8 looked at her and furrowed her eyebrows, "I don't want to." She whispered, "I don't want to keep it to myself."

The older girl glanced around the room quickly, "Then don't." She paused, whispering aswell, "It'll be another secret just for us."

She managed a smile, "Gong Yubin."

S7's heart beat quickened. Why does it make me feel... Special? She chuckled quietly, "Kim Nakyoung."
