Days have passed and Chaeyoung is still working on her current task: to compose a song; it was given by Kim Yugyeom himself. At first, Yugyeom wanted to have a collab with Dahyun and Chaeyoung because of Dahyun's blabbering but due to some brainstorming, they finally ended their small meeting with their final plan; and that is to perform individually with self-composed lyrics. This would test their abilities espescially Chaeyoung's if she knows how to produce her own music since not a lot can do that.

Since childhood, Chaeyoung was known to be someone who has a perfect pitch, her brother Jeong-Hoon always played the piano and taught her some skills and key lessons everyday, music was their bonding but it ended when the fire happened which brought depression to Chaeyoung but nevertheless, God send another angel towards her way to guide her back to her path.

Chaeyoung groaned whenever she would mess things up, lyrics would pop out of her mind but then suddenly she erases it because she thinks that it's not a proper theme for her music and she wants to use her emotions for her own but she just can't seem to get the hang of it. So she decided to get some help from her friends.

Chaeyoung sighed and turned off her phone. These days, her time was always focused on composing a song yet her mind closes like it's unable to process anything or produce anything that's useful for her work. She stared at the clock until her phone rang, she answered it without looking at her screen.

"Hello?"

[Chaeyoung-ah!]

Chaeyoung had to flinch in pain, she threw her phone on the couch only to hear Sana's loud voice again.

[Hello?!]

Chaeyoung sighed, it's not even on speaker yet her mouth speaks like she ate a whole microphone.

She crawled towards the couch to get her phone, this time, she put it on speaker.

"What's up?" Chaeyoung asked.

Sana hummed, [Dahyun texted me and told me that you were having a hard time with something?]

Chaeyoung nodded but then remembered it was a phone call, "ah yeah, what about it?" She asked and stood up to fix the papers on the table since it was too messy.

[How about you tag along?]

Chaeyoung put the papers on a file case, "to where? And how many people are included?"

[We're going to relax and go inside the arcade! It's Tzuyu, Mina and me. Is it alright?]

Chaeyoung almost drops the papers on her hand when she hears Sana mentioning Mina's name, how her heart started to beat faster than usual once she hears Mina's small voice from the line.

[Who's that?

---ah, Minaring! It's Chaeyoung, I'm asking if she wants to tag along---

Hmm, okay]

Chaeyoung's ears were delighted once she heard Mina's soft hum, she immediately ran towards the couch and held the phone, "where are you--"

[Say, Chaeyoung-ah, are you inside your University?]

"Yep, why?" Chaeyoung asked as she stumbled towards her small wardrobe and started to rummage through her clothes.

[We'll pick you up! I'll text you once we're here, okay?]

Even before Chaeyoung can answer, the call ended which made Chaeyoung's hands rummage faster until she found something decent for the 'event' today. She hurriedly walked towards her huge monitor which she used as a mirror,

Damn, I never knew I would need to buy a body-sized mirror.

She carefully wore the blue flannel that Dahyun gave her last year and a pair of skinny jeans and tucked the hem of the flannel in her jeans, she wore white converse and contemplated whether she'll wear a cap or not but before she could even wear the cap, her phone vibrated on top of the couch which made a really loud sound. She ran and saw Sana's text that they were outside of the University. Chaeyoung hurriedly walked out of her studio, locking it and ran towards the gate where she saw three girls but one stood out the most.

It was Mina, of course. The girl that captured her attention. Mina wore a peach pearly shirt and had tucked it inside her skinny jeans like Chaeyoung did, and also wore white converse. The two of them stared into each other's eyes until Sana cleared her throat.

"Did the two of you talk about your outfits?" Sana joked but clearly, Chaeyoung misinterpreted her humor.

"What? No. Why would we?" She answered and gave an awkward laugh which made the atmosphere awkward but then Tzuyu cleared her throat.

"Okay so," Tzuyu started, "shall we get going?" She asked.

Sana smiled, "we shall." She answered and clung her arm on Tzuyu's as the latter did not mind it while Mina and Chaeyoung were left behind, awkwardly walking beside each other. Both of them were confused and overwhelmed with what they are feeling right now.

im not the best in descriptions but im pretty sure i did my best in detailing Mina and Chaeyoung's outfits. if not, oh well, their outfits were what they wore in their What Is Love mv except for Chaeyoung who wore Dahyun's. hehe.
