"Hey, toss me that candy bar, would you?"

LE sighed angrily as she picked up said food and threw it right at Hani, who gleefully caught it and devoured it in seconds. "Now will you shut up? I have work to do," she snapped, picking up her pencil once again.

While she wasn't paying attention, Hani had walked to her side, and suddenly said, "you're designing weapons again?"
Needless to say, that scared the living shit out of LE.

Now even more annoyed, LE nodded aggressively and continued sketching the diagram.

"Wow, LE, can't you relax? Just use the ones the boss gave us, no need to overwork yourself like this..."

"Why should I use his stuff when we can make our own? Besides, Shinsadong Tiger isn't the most loyal man. He designs for other gangs too, never forget that, and he left us with the lamest gang name in the history of ever—Banana," LE spat.

Hani laughed. "We can always switch back to Yedang if we want. I don't know why they changed the name, but it is stupid. I'll just call boss and tell him to change it back."

LE nodded absent-mindedly and continued sketching. "Aish, LE, one day you'll die of overwork. If Solji unnie were here, she would tell you to stop."

"Solji isn't here."

Hani lowered her head. Yeah, Solji wasn't there, and that was a problem.

"You're suddenly quiet, Hani. Where are the maknaes?"

Hani looked up again. "Probably eating," she replied, wiping away tears. LE sighed.

"Tell them to train. We've been rising in rank lately but we're still weak compared to the Big 3, so we need to keep moving forward."

Hani nodded and walked off while LE blew eraser dust off her drawing. She peered at it for a second, mentally calculating the physics needed to pull it off. Everything checked off, and she gasped.

"Holy shit," she whispered, "I think I've really outdone myself this time."

.xXx.

Jihyo returned back to headquarters that night with a huge gash in her arm. Obviously, people noticed it right away and immediately brought her to the infirmary.

And that was how Jihyo ended up being treated by Suzy while Park Jinyoung was questioning her about the attack.

"So they just followed you? Only two of them?"

Jihyo nodded as Suzy bandaged her arm gently. Park Jinyoung stroked his chin, deep in thought. "Cube wouldn't waste their time attacking if they'd just coincidentally seen you on the streets. They only attack with care, after careful planning, so this means they had a bigger motive behind the attack. I'll investigate this personally, you can go and rest in the dorms."

Jihyo nodded and hopped off the bench, walking slowly to her dorm. She shared it with eight other girls, most of whom were just dorks, with the exception of maybe Mina (though she had her own weird moments). Jihyo, having trained the longest at JYP, acted as a mother to the girls and didn't hesitate to help them in times of need.

She pushed open the door and was immediately nearly knocked backwards by eight girls pouncing on her and attacking her with hugs. Choking for air, she began to hit the person closest to her, and they eventually let go one by one.

"Unnie! We heard what happened, are you okay?" Dahyun asked.

"I'm fine, guys, no need to worry."

"Those Cube rats! I know we're in a gang and stuff, but it still isn't nice to attack someone!" Tzuyu exclaimed angrily, and everyone around her laughed at her innocence.
