Lee Jaerin

"Jaerin! Come down for dinner!" Seungcheol shouted from the kitchen as he brought in plates of everyone's favorite foods such as jokbal, dakbal, chicken, tteokbokki, seaweed soup, and many others for the sixteen of us.

"Coming!" I shouted, running down the stairs and reaching the dining hall.

Before we tucked into the food, we said, "we'll eat well!" together.

I laid my eyes on the chicken as I hastily grabbed a piece and devoured it, savoring the wonderful taste. It had been a long time since i had chicken because of my diet and I really enjoyed the food even though I didn't eat much.

I politely excused myself from the table and headed to my room, video calling Yerin.

Calling '2rin unnie'...

"Hello?" A male's voice asked.

"Erm.. hello, i'm looking for Yerin."

"Hahah~ it's only been a few hours and you've already forgotten what my voice sounds like? I'm hurt but it's too funny."

I groaned as i began to recognize the voice. "I hate you, Park Woojin."

"Thank you for remembering me!"

"Anyway, where's Yerin? And why do you have her phone?"

"Yerin and i were planning on video chatting you together. And talking about what happened in school today."

"Right, there was school. Did you guys get scolded because you were late?"

"Nope, we just said we had things to do in our labels so we missed a few hours of school. And even if we didn't lie, we still would bid you a goodbye. It's worth missing school, of course. And besides, if we don't do that, we'll be considered bad friends."

"True. But where's Yerin?"

"She went to get snacks."

"Of course, typical Yerin."

"Are you okay there? Any problems so far?"

"No, not yet."

"Hi! I'm back!" Yerin shouted.

"Yeah, so what happened in school today?"

"Jihoon asked where you were."

"Oh."

"Yeah, but we told him a simple lie that you were sick and on the verge of recovery."

"That's good, until he realizes that your definition of 'on the verge of recovery' meant that even after i recovered, i still wouldn't be in school."

"You're coming for the final rankings of the Produce 101 Season 2, right? I need you as my good luck charm!"

"Hahah~ i'm sorry. I can't be there."

"Oh."

"Anyways, i think i should go now. I'll call you again tomorrow!"

"Okay. Have a good night!" They said in unison.

"Thanks. You too!"

"Thanks."
