NAM SOOHYUN has been eating leftover pizza as breakfast for two weeks.
Soohyun trudges past the girls (who are eating actual, healthy meals), reaches into the fridge, and haphazardly tosses a rock-hard slice onto a paper plate. She sets the microwave for one minute and stares at it like a fly entranced by a lantern. When it angrily beeps, she perks and opens the door to grab it―only to have it snatched by Yoo Nakyung and tossed into the trashcan.
"What the hell?" Soohyun protests, looking longingly at her pizza.
"First order of business: no more junk food," Nakyung orders. "You have such nice skin, and you're letting it go to shit by eating all this trash."
Soohyun opens her mouth to respond, but Nakyung quickly shushes her. "Second order of business: take a shower. I could fry bacon with the amount grease in your hair."

Soohyun waits a beat for someone else to interrupt before sighing. "And what exactly is the point of all this?"
"Stage one of my master plan," Nakyung says vaguely before clapping her hands together. "Okay, everyone! Places!"
"Don't wanna burst your bubble or anything, but literally no one knows what that means," Iris interjects, shoveling eggs into her mouth.
Nakyung sighs dramatically. "Of course not. I have to do everything around here. Well, whatever. Yaebin, I'm leaving you to figure out the whole situation with Soohyun. I trust you to be able to make her look presentable."
"What are you gonna do?" Chiharu asks, suddenly realizing that Nakyung is completely dressed while everyone else is still in their pajamas.
Nakyung checks the time on her watch and picks up her bag, heading towards the door. She hesitates for a brief second when she walks past the keys to her Audi but nonetheless bypasses them. Turning to Chiharu, she simply responds with:
