[Mina's POV]


19:14. I closed my phone after checking the time.

We're all so exhausted from the rehearsals and after three full sets of concert runs, we're finally on our way home. Chaeyoung is sitting beside me in the van, both she and Jihyo are sleeping. I also feel exhausted but I couldn't sleep. I looked at my phone again. I still haven't replied to his message.

I sighed and started typing.

{I thought you won't be back until next week. Mianhe. I can't meet you tonight. I have a lot to do and we're leaving tomorrow for our tour. Maybe when we come back?}

I sent the message before I could overthink my reply.

In just a few seconds, my phone vibrated.

{Yeah. A schedule got cancelled so I went back earlier. Gwenchanha. I'll see you when you after your concert. Just message me. Hwaiting!}

I saw Chaeyoung move from my parallel vision. She stirring in her sleep.

I gently pulled her head and placed it over my shoulder.

"Minari..." she mumbled, her eyes still firmly shut.

She must be dreaming. I held her hand and rubbed her palm with my thumb.

"Ne, Chaeyoung-a. I'm right here..."

Okay. I have no idea how to cook any of these. I gulped. Jeongyeon and Momo bought the ingredients and we're all just standing in a circle in the kitchen.

"I thought I'm just going to eat. Why am I also cooking?" Momo pouted.

"You've been into cooking these past few weeks, right? Just help us. Jebal." Jeongyeon asked her.

"Eh." Momo grunted. "Right now, I'm just into eating."

I'm scanning recipes online.

"Here. Let's try this." I showed it to them.

I've added the perilla leaves last in the pot of simmering soup. I continued stirring for about two minutes.

"Unnie, how's the kimchi jiggae?" I saw Jeongyeon and Momo tasting the jiggae and adding more gochujang to the mix.

"Here. Taste it." She scooped a spoonful and blew it. I left my pot of simmering Gamjatang and slurped on the kimchi stew. It's a little bit hot.

"How's your soup going?" Momo unnie walked past me and tasted the broth with her own spoon.

"Ya. Jeongyeon, taste this." Momo approached Jeongyeon holding up her spoonful of pork bone broth.

"Hmm. Okay then..." Jeongyeon looked at me.

"Arraseo." I replied and looked at Momo.

"Arraseo." She nodded.

"Chaeyoung-a. The delivery guy texted. He's already downstairs. Pali." Jeongyeon and I looked at each other.
