Daya, with the help of her chopsticks, placed a rolled egg omelette on Dayeon's plate. The younger girl smiled hugely, picking it up and into her mouth it went.

"Can you buy more?", Dayeon asked around the egg.

Her sister frowned. The girl had eaten up all her egg omelettes and was still asking for more. "You cannot eat like a glutton in the school cafeteria. Do that in the dorms"

"Why?", Dayeon asked, picking a sausage and into her mouth, that went too.

Daya sucked on her chopsticks and didn't reply. SKKU students found such people as an irk. The rich should eat moderately, they believed and Daya didn't want her sister to be on their radar. She has gone through 3 school weeks without problems and she wanted it to remain that way for Dayeon.

"Jeong Daya"

Maybe she wasn't as lucky.

Daya glanced towards the sound. She saw Chaeryeong and her friends with their food trays. This was the first time she was seeing them since school resumed. Daya did a very great job at going into extinction. She did that so her sister will have a peaceful life.

"You were in school all these while?", Ari asked, dropping her food tray on the table.

Daya smiled tightly, nodding. She looked at her sister with that smile still on her face.

"Nari did mention that she resumed even before her", Ryujin smiled at Daya. She sat down next to the other girl, peering into her face. "Wow. Who is this pretty girl?"

Dayeon tried not to choke on the food in her mouth. She stared at the pink haired in embrassment.

"My sister", Daya said, with a soft clearing of her throat.

Yeji and Lia sat down immediately, staring at the girl. "What, really?", they asked in unison.

"No wonder you have been so scarce, unnie", Yuna commented. Dayeon smiled awkwardly at the girls that were scrutinising her. "Your sister kept you busy"

Ryujin put her arm on her shoulder, leaning her head on her palm. She smiled lovingly. "So, the name?"

"Jeong Dayeon", came the timid reply.

"You did a good job of hiding your sister", Chaeryeong bumped her shoulder into Daya's, the other girl scoffed with a roll of her eyes. "Nari didn't even tell us. That brat"

"It's not something that should be announced, is it?", Daya asked quietly. She looked through the girls. "Your hair colours are.. quite..", she tilted her hair as the girls laughed out.

Yeji had flaming orange hair. Lia had brown hair. Ryujin had short pink hair. Chaeryeong had red hair. Ari had short brown hair. Their maknae, Shin Yuna, went with blonde locks.

"I'm sure you all have a colourful semester ahead", Daya dissed.

Yeji flipped her hair over her shoulder. "Wasn't that the point of it?", she chuckled, looking at Dayeon. "I'm Hwang Yeji. A 4th year senior"

Dayeon nodded, puffing her cheeks, she glanced at the others girls.

"Choi Lia, a 4th year senior also", Lia smiled, her eyes becoming thin lines and her cheeks rounding even more.

"Lee Ari, a 3rd ye-", she scoffed a smile. "I can't believe I am in 3rd year", she let her intrusive thoughts win.

Chaeryeong rolled her eyes. "She is just like that", she said to Dayeon. "Seo Chaeryeong", she waved her fingers.

"Shin Ryujin", the senior that was holding her, whispered. "3rd year senior"

Most of them were her Daya and Nari's year mates, she noted.
