"hey, girl." the girl with cool tattoos and piercings━chaeyoung━said, taking a sip from her cup. "h-hi." yerin mumbled shyly because no one ever really talked to her. "so, you're jung yerin, huh? you're just as cute as sinb said you were." chaeyoung said smoothly, smirking deviously. yerin smiled sheepishly as a blush crept on her face. "th-thank you." yerin stuttered. chaeyoung was going to continue her flirt game but jungkook intervened. "nope, piss off, chae. you know sinb doesn't like people touching her toys." jungkook warned and glared at chaeyoung. "come on, i was just spitting game. i wasn't gonna do anything." the tatted girl lied, winking at jungkook.

"no, you weren't just anything. i'm just trying to keep you from getting your ass beat, chae." jungkook said, rolling his eyes. chaeyoung let out a chuckle before going back to her own business. jungkook looked at yerin and gave his famous smile. "hey, yerin." he said, putting his hand up for a high five but yerin flinched. "okay, look. i know i'm probably not your ideal friend, y'know, with all the holding you back while sinb beats you shitless, but i don't actually dislike you. i just do what i'm told." jungkook explained, shrugging and pursing his lips. yerin couldn't help but find his action cute and laugh. "who are you laughing at?" jungkook asked in his serious voice, looking at yerin with eyebrows furrowed. yerin immediately shut up and looked at her lap. jungkook started laughing again and pat yerin's head. "you're adorable. want a hit?" he asked, holding out the joint he had in his hand.

yerin started to internally panic. she didn't even know how to smoke but the pressure of fitting in, even a little, weighed down on her and she took the joint. "you know how to do it, right?" jungkook asked, blowing smoke out through his nose. yerin looked at the joint that was now out and shook her head. jungkook laughed and looked at the other girl on the couch, tapping her shoulder. "teach girlie how to smoke. i need a drink." jungkook said, still laughing and getting up to find some alcohol. "why the fuck would sinb bring someone who doesn't know how to smoke to the pit?" the girl━lisa━asked annoyed, taking the joint from yerin and relighting it. yerin pursed her lips and avoided eye contact with the clearly annoyed girl.

"i need your eyes up here if i'm gonna show you." lisa said, snapping for yerin's attention. yerin slowly brought her gaze to lisa. "all you do is inhale." lisa explained, taking a hit from the joint and breathing it into her nose from her mouth. yerin watched in amazement. "that's... that's really cool." "nah, if you think that was cool, wait until b gets back." lisa chuckled out, patting yerin's head and passing her the joint. "just inhale." lisa reminded. yerin brought the joint to her lips and inhaled but started coughing as soon as the smoke got in her wind pipes. lisa watched in amusement as yerin dramatically coughed and gagged. "breathe, girl. don't hurt yourself." lisa said humorously, patting and rubbing yerin's back.

"i'll get you a water. don't go anywhere please. sinb will kill jungkook then kill me if we lose you." lisa said, getting up and leaving the couch. yerin sat on the couch, looking around shyly as she waited for lisa to come back. "well, i'll be! yerin?" sowon said as she and nayeon sat on the couch. "hi, unnie." yerin said with a smile of relief that she finally talked to someone she knew. "what are you doing here? you're not supposed to be skipping class, kid." sowon scolded playfully and took the joint from yerin. "well, s-sinb brought me." yerin mumbled, remembering the day sinb and sowon almost got into it but she passed out. "oh, of course sinbitch would corrupt such a sweet girl." sowon said, rolling her eyes and smoking the joint.

"yerin, what's the whole deal with you and sinb? i mean, what, are you guys fucking or something? there's no way she beats on you but you still willingly follow her around." nayeon asked, looking at yerin expectantly. sowon looked over and smacked nayeon in her head. "don't be a fucking snoop. you don't have to answer that, yerin." sowon said apologetically. yerin wasn't even sure if she could answer that. yerin herself didn't know why she still willingly did everything sinb told her to.
