Minjoo's Book of Slimyness ✔

Rose

They are in a studio for filming, with a green screen behind them and flowers all around them. Judging from the lack of signature flowery scents, it's clear that these flowers are all made of synthetic materials, not real.

Minjoo crouched down, eyeing the plastic rose on the floor in a strange interest. A sudden idea popped in her mind, causing a playful and proud grin to show up in her lips.

"PD-nim! Can I take one?"

The PD doesn't see anything wrong with that request, so he nods his head before going back to his work.

Minjoo beams him a smile and with the plastic rose on her hand, she quickly approaches Hitomi who is quietly monitoring her facial expression and dance movement with Yuri and Eunbi.

The others haven't crowded around them, so Minjoo easily slips behind them to watch their last performance before doing it again in a few minutes, after Nako finished the problem with her wardrobe malfunction.

The visual listened to the leader's instructions well, nodding here and there at every point made by Eunbi. Every time she saw how her expression doesn't look too good on the camera, her grip around the fake rose tightens; a silent reminder to keep that disappointment later and just focus on doing the task now.

Finally, Nako is done with her problem and they can go back to film the group dance scene.

But of course, Minjoo has other plans.

"Hitomi!"

Hitomi immediately turns, raising an eyebrow from her spot. "Yes?"

Minjoo raises her arm, showing Hitomi the fake flower she picked up earlier. She isn't giving Hitomi the flower—she just holds it in front of her face for a full 30 seconds before grinning so proudly and tossed it away carelessly back to its place.

Realizing Hitomi's confused gaze is focused on her, Minjoo sends her a wink.

"Don't mind me," she says, smiling widely. "I just wanted to show this rose who's the real beauty."
