And that she did, in the shape of Kazuha chasing after her because she accidentally broke her phone charger.

Le Sserafim back as five: entire group spotted in a bus.

"Ha, look at this one! 'Purinz reunited', as if we don't speak unless we're in public." Yunjin scoffed, turning her phone screen towards Chaewon. They had been on the bus for about an hour, moving into the countryside to film 'Day Off'. A few days passed since their midnight conversation with Sakura and Kazuha, after which they never spoke another word of it.

The article didn't seem to phase the girl. She stared at the device, her eyebrows slightly raised. "Wait, look at this," She said, rummaging in her bag. Once she managed to find her own phone, she opened her socials.

On it was something she posted the day before. It was a screenshots of her and Yunjin's texts, accompanied by a few photos from the past weeks.

Jagi-Jen: ommvgg ib so latttteee

Jagi-Jen: hury oustide

Jagi-Jen: sorry i was running

Chae: LOL

Chae: omw bb

The tall girl laughed at the texts, remembering how unnecessarily stressed she was at the time. She scrolled through the photos of her girlfriend and Shiro, and paused when she saw the picture of all the members.

Sakura had her arm around Kazuha's middle, holding onto the loops in the girl's pants as if she was afraid she'd walk off. Eunchae held onto Chaewon and Yunjin, all their cheeks smushed together like a fleshy sandwich.

"What about it?" Yunjin wondered.

Chaewon opened the comments. It was flooded with people cheering for her to come back, and freaking out about 'purinz'. She chuckled, her eyes lighting up a little. "They've so got us figured out. It's all over the other platforms too, they've got a million pictures of when I kissed you yesterday. But it just looks like we're weirdly hugging."

"I still think you were being irresponsible!" Sakura interjected when Yunjin started laughing.

The short girl rolled her eyes. "Oh come on, I knew they couldn't–",

Eunchae let out an ear-shattering screech. "Oh my God, look how huge that house is! They've got a pool and everything!" She called out, prompting even Yunjin to cover her ears.

Kazuha shot up. She bent over Sakura to stare at the scenery out the window and gasped. "Holy shit!"

The eldest clicked her tongue disapprovingly. The bus came to a halt, and the young girl immediately sprinted to the exit. The others wasted no time in following her: she had piqued their curiosity.

They were surrounded by a forest on one side and farm land across the road. There was a dirt path where they had stopped, which led to a building that was so big that it looked like a maze. Sakura clapped her hands as she marched behind their maknae, looking even more excited.

Yunjin held Chaewon's hand for balance as they stepped out the bus. There were at least four cameras pointed at the girls, and for the first time in a long while Chaewon was grateful for her full face of makeup.
