Best Kept Secret

No Other Date

"Go with Jeongyeonie."

"Wae?! Shironde!!"

Sana tells her partner as she hints at Jeongyeon to take Jihyo away. "Yah~ S- Sana-yah? Sana-yah?!"

The blonde Japanese intends to protect her precious person especially since Jihyo is the main vocalist. And that they still have ABU Song Festival taping tomorrow. She's fully aware how her partner is suffering in the mind right now. She doesn't want to affect her body too.

As it seems, sleeping on exposed back in this cold weather must have gotten to Sana. Her voice is thicker than usual. She coughs and sniffs often barely making it to the second show of Twicelights in Miyagi.

Jeong pushes the leader into the van. Jihyo asks in doubt, "What are you two plotting behind my back?"

"It's for your own good, idiot. Get in."

Sensing how stern Jeong is, Jihyo conforms. The van is already occupied by Momo and Dahyun at the back, Nayeon is in the middle. She sat and mutes herself beside the unnie.

Momo the vlogger goes Live again. She sets it up with Dahyun beside her. However, they had to halt 5 minutes into the broadcast as they are being followed.

"Maybe because our lights are on."

"Really? We have to stop then. Bye bye!" The two are prematurely ending the Live. Momo cuts it with while still donning a kind smile, "Don't follow us."

Momo reaches her hand out in front where Nayeon is. The unnie just pats her and glances for a bit assuring that she's okay. Jihyo takes notice and looks over to Momo. The leader's puberty twin pops her eyes and mouths "What?" at her.

Jihyo mayhaps have just found out something. She then proceeds asking their manager unnie, "Any updates on this situation?"

"Opseo."

"It's okay! I'll protect Nayeon-ie", says Momo.

"Why? What can you do?" Jihyo mocks her.

"Yeah, what you gonna do? Leave it to me", Jeong butts in. Nayeon on the receiving end of these cool regards enjoying, "Oh~ Fight! Fight!"

Jeong laughs it off.

"Eyy, Jeongyeon-ie~ Don't be shy. Just say it", Nayeon cutely prods. "I'll protect Nayeon-ie. C'mon, you'd probably look really cool."

Jihyo is stuck between the unnies. She finds herself giving that disgusted crumpled face as per usual. Her thought for a comrade who could be hurting adds to it. Though they are rarely in truce, she feels empathy.

"I- am sleepy", Jeong ends up just crossing her arms and faces the window.

"Ehh~" Nayeon pouts. Yet, her hand goes over Jihyo and finds Jeong's arms. She keeps nudging. The latter grabs it shutting the unnie. Since Nayeon is one Jihyo apart from Jeong, she just rests her contentment on the 3-mix maknae's shoulder.

Jihyo catches herself breathing in. She looks over again to Momo and sees her pouting. Dahyun has an arm patting her puberty twin. The leader sighs. Her supposed desire to confront her hunch is answered right then and there—it's Nayeon whom Momo is loyal to.

Each of us has their own hardships. Though we often talk back at each other, this time I give you my understanding. But since you are Momo, the positive Momo, I know you wouldn't think much of it. That is the very reason you'd do just fine.

Twice has arrived in their hotel. As Jeong closely check on Jihyo, the leader could only wish Sana good dreams from the hallway. To which Sana responds with a smirk, "I'll do that past midnight."
