「One Week Later」

"But unnie, I wanna stay with you!" Arah cried out, refusing to let go of Yeeyoung's waist. Sooyoung chuckled at the sight, pulling her suitcase up the hill leading to their new dorm. The Japanese line followed, along with Minju trailing behind, suddenly more interested in petting a random dog.

A few days earlier, their manager had notified them that Ha-seon would not be debuting with the group do to reasons she refused to disclose. She had also refused to answer the girls' questions when they asked about who the replacement was, so nobody knew what to expect.

The tension between most members, especially Yeorim and Arah, had died down, but there still was an air of unease. Their debut date was set, along with the main preparation for the album. During all the hustle, it was surprising anyone had time to pack up their things and move into a new dorm.

When the seven girls were crowded around the door, Sooyoung fished the key out of her pocket. Everybody waited silently as she turned the lock and pushed it open, causing a loud creaking noise. Squeezing in before anyone else, Sakamae looked around the dorm that would be their home.

They had entered a small living room area, occupied by a couch and a TV along with a few pillows scattered around the place. Without saying anything, the brunette put down her bag, lazily throwing herself onto the creme sofa. Before any of the girls could do anything, Sakamae was asleep, snoring softly.

Minju instantly dashed towards one of the rooms, but not before stopping to take a picture of the sleeping Japanese girl. Ignoring the dirty look Shiori was sending her, the prankster stuck out her tongue, flopping down on one of the beds. Yeorim followed with a blank expression on her face, placing her belongings down much more gracefully.

For more than one reason, Yeeyoung didn't really like Sooyoung, but decided to tolerate her for the time being. The older girl's friendliness with Arah annoyed her, not that Yeeyoung would ever accept she was feeling jealous though. Also, she just seemed like a really bossy person in general, giving the feeling that there would be lots of arguments.

With a loud huff, Yeeyoung threw her belongings onto the bed on the left, pulling out her phone after hearing it vibrate. Her roommate came in a few minutes later, expression hardening when she saw the younger girl's things on the left bed. Ultimately though, she said nothing, silently putting her things on the unoccupied mattress.

While things were going smoothly in the rest of the dorm, trouble started when Minju knocked over the stack of cup-noodles Arah had set up, on purpose of course. The pseudo-orange haired girl smiled mischievously. "Oops?" A murderous glint appeared in the youngest's eyes as she eyed the food cartons on the floor.

Before the other girl could react, Arah lashed out, grabbing Minju by the hair. Letting out a pained shriek, the older girl forcefully pried the maknae's hands off, shoving her backwards. Loosing her balance, Arah fell backwards, landing next to her now completely bashed noodle packets.

Still sitting on the carpeted floor, Arah stitched a smile of nonchalance onto her formerly quivering lips. She stood up slowly, watching the older girl with a guarded expression. Then, without warning, she attacked again, this time attempting to kick Minju in the knee.

Luckily, the shorter girl reacted in time, swerving to the side. Just as Minju was getting ready to strike, a groggy voice was heard. "Urusenai! I can't fucking sleep because of you idiots!" Anyone else would've done as Sakamae said, but Minju and Arah were way to pissed to oblige right now.

The youngest shot back immediately, voice slightly hoarse from all the screaming that had happened. "I don't need your crusty ass telling me what to do!" Minju nodded rapidly, vivid hair bouncing as she did so. "Yeah Marai, mind your own fucking business."

The Japanese girl stood up slowly, and the other two realized that she wasn't mad, she was absolutely livid. Her left eye twitched, giving the impression that she was about to go ballistic soon. "Why don't you sit down and shut up before I ruin everything by ripping your head—"

She was cut off by a door suddenly being banged shut. Yeeyoung walked into the room, phone glued to her ear. "Congratulations on being a heartless dick who is oblivious to the fact that no one likes you." Two of the girls turned to her, wondering who she was talking to, but Arah just nodded knowingly.

"You want me to forgive you and forget what you said? I'm neither Jesus nor do I have fucking Alzheimer's, it's your damn fault for doing it in the first place."  Yeeyoung was fuming, yelling into the device clutched in her hand. Minju made a mental note to avoid this one, boy did the girl know how to talk.

Soon enough, the previously quarreling trio was seated on the couch, watching Yeeyoung pace around the room as she continued to argue over the phone. At some point, Sooyoung heard the yelling and came over along with Yeorim. Shiori made a short appearance, but left saying she needed to feed her cactus.

After the Japanese girl's strange departure, Sooyoung turned to Sakamae. "How long has she been on the phone?" The younger girl shrugged, not tearing her eyes off Yeeyoung as she answered. "Been a while."

Three days after Yeeyoung's dramatic breakup with her now ex-boyfriend, Sun-hee called the girls regarding the eight member of the group. Apparently she would be moving in later today. Nobody really minded except for Shiori, who was hoping she could have the room all for herself.

Everybody was doing their own thing when the doorbell rang, waking Yeorim up from her nap on the couch. The others were all in their rooms, so the blonde ended up having to open the door. Letting out a small yawn, she trudged over to the entrance, opening the door to revealing a brunette clad in a hoodie.

The brown haired girl bowed, momentarily shocking Yeorim. If this was one of those cute and bubbly trainees, she would be in serious trouble. Luckily the newbie's demeanor changed rather quickly, and she pushed past Yeorim, with a disturbing smile. "So I'll be living in this shithole until my career ends, how fucking wonderful."
