It was Yerin's first time being able to physically accompany Loona to their guest appearances.
She had gone to PD's office earlier that month to ask if it would be ok if she could see what she would experience as an upcoming idol.
Surprisingly she received the answer yes and was now on the set of 'Dingo Music' to watch Loona play Mafia Dance.
...
"Hi, manager-nim."
A girl behind her whispered in her ear.
Resting their head on her shoulder While the other members were lined up to get their earmuffs from the producers of the show.
"Go get your armuffs."
Yerin jokingly pushed Jinsol in the direction of her members, only for the girl to pout at her and then walk away.
As they were filming the behind video, Jinsol kept drifting over to Yerin that was sitting in a chair beside one of the cameramen.
"You think I'll get mafia ?"
Yerin scoffed, hearing Jinsol's words.
"You would 100% suck."
"YA."
The noise of the couple bickering in the corner caught Choerry's attention as she waltzed over to the two girls.
"Relationship trouble?"
"Pfft no."
Jinsol put her arm around Yerin's shoulder.
"Us? Never."
...
The boring thing was that she had to just watch them have fun from afar.
She couldn't react and if she did she had to play it off as a sneeze or something.
When noticing the 3 mafias picked were seated directly next to each other she could help but let out a light laugh that made her immediately cover her mouth.
After noticing Kim Lip set a target on Hyunjin she hid behind their manager to hide her laughter when Hyunjin consecutively made mistakes despite not being the mafia.
Once the music had paused and the group gathered together, all fingers were immediately pointed towards Lip, Hyunjin and Heejin.
In the end, Kim Lip is the one chosen.
"So bad at games."
Loona's manager snarked, with Yerin snickering beside him.
...
Jinsol being the first to be killed off by the mafias made the girl watching from the sidelines bite her lip to hold in a laugh.
"I knew I would be first."
She overheard Jinsol speaking to Kim Lip before the next round began.
Next round, Gowon, the mafia was killed off.
...
The staff all clapped the moment the girls figured out who the 3 mafias were.
"Till now. It was Loona."
All 12 girls bowed, before running off the set.
...
Jinsol hopped over happily to Yerin holding the angel headband in her hands.
"Sad that I died first."
Yerin laughed, patting the back of Jinsol's head.
"You did well. You guessed Gowon Unnie correctly."
...
October 31st, 2020
Halloween VLIVE
Behind the camera along with a few of Loona's managers was also Yerin who was simply sitting there. In the middle of Loona's introduction, Jaeuk Oppa, one of the managers approached her and handed her a large tablet and whispered something to her.
"Show us the video."
The members spoke, to which they all turned their heads to the right where one of their managers pointed in the direction of Yerin holding the tablet that began to play a short clip in her hands. All the members seated on the floor seemed to avert their attention immediately towards her except that one girl that was busy fixing the iPad in front of her.
"This is really just text."
The girl finally spoke up referring to the video that had played.
-Round 1-
After round 1 resulted in a tie, the last person holding the sketchbook handed it over to someone behind the camera, a small smile on her face when she noticed someone rush to take it from her hand.
-Round 3-
"Once upon a time..."
Each of the members was lined up to begin telling a scary story. However, Choerry kept repeating the same words over and over again.
"They said 'once upon a time' us an automatic out,"
Yeojin yelled. Choerry glanced over to the girl in the background that was shaking her head, causing the girl on camera to point in her direction.
"What's up with that?!"
Jinsol was next in line, trying to convince the girl behind the camera that her story was good enough to pass. She pouted, furrowing her eyebrows together, only to see Yerin lift her arms up in the air and form an 'X'.
Kim Lip was next in line after Hyunjin's story which made everyone erupt in laughter when Heejin disrupted her.
"EVERYONE. Please listen. Kim Lip may not have been here today because of this incident."
She spoke, referring to herself.
"REALLY? What a shame."
Yves interrupted, looking towards the direction of the managers and Yerin. Yerin covered her mouth and turned away to stifle a laugh.
Heejin began pointing off-camera at Yerin, during Yves's story.
"She's getting points!"
Vivi exclaimed, noticing Yerin holding up a whiteboard that showed the number of points she was giving Yves.
"100 points secured."
-Round 4-
'Who's the scariest member?'
"10 points? That's so stingy."
Hyunjin exclaimed off camera towards her friend.
Once everyone had picked their outfits and left to go change, one of the managers sent Yerin down to help with hair and makeup to speed up the process.
"Boo!"
"Oh my god!"
Yerin fiddled with the person's mask, tapping it wildly to the point where Heejin began to raise her voice.
"Happy Halloween."
She said rather spookily before appearing on camera.
"Yerin-ah."
Yerin rounded the corner to see Choerry looking in the mirror attempting to apply her lipstick.
"Hey. Choi Yerim. I'll help you."
Yerim passed her lipstick to Yerin who applied it onto Yerim's lips, leaning closer towards her when Jinsol appeared in the reflection in the mirror.
"What are you two doing?"
She lifted her eyebrow at the pair that were closer than anticipated.
"Unnie! It's nothing."
Choerry pushed Yerin jokingly away from her.
"Yerin was just helping me with my make-up. I'm all good now though. You can have her."
Choerry spun around to look in the mirror to glance at herself once more before running onto the camera with Jinsol following closely behind her.
"Hey! Where did you get the lipstick? Can you lend it to me?"
Jinsol asked Choerry on camera.
"My lipstick is over there."
Choerry pointed in the direction of Yerin.
"What are you looking for?"
Yerin asked the girl that was hurriedly glancing around to find Choerry's lipstick.
"Yerim's lipstick."
Yerin pulled out her hand from her pocket that was grasping onto a small cylindrical object.
"Need some help?" She smirked.
"You look cute,"
Yerin spoke, although she was focused on applying the dark red tone onto her girlfriend's bottom lip.
Once everything about her look was completed, she smiled softly at Yerin who tilted her head in the direction of the camera where a bunch of the girls were just messing around.
...
"Someone was in a rush to leave."
Yves snickered, watching Jinsoul wave a very brief farewell to the orbits watching the Vlive before speed walking towards the set.
...
November 2020
"Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you."
The older girl draped her arms over the younger girl's shoulders.
Jinsol noticing the solemn look on Yerin's face, tilted her head and pouted.
"What happened?"
"It... It was."
Yerin began, only to sigh and tilt her head down to face the floor.
Jinsol carefully removed her arms and pulled Yerin into her room, the two sitting on her bed.
"I'm going to be a model."
Yerin smiled, almost to the extent that her cheeks began to hurt.
"YA you..."
"You.."
Jinsol pointed at the girl, pushing her shoulders.
"You scared me, I thought something was wrong like you were going to break up with me or something."
Jinsol rambled, with Yerin pulling her into her chest.
"Sorry."
The shorter girl immediately sat up straight after processing properly what Yerin had told her.
"Wait. I'm going to be dating a model?"
Yerin nodded her head in response.
"AHHH OH MY GOD."
Jinsol screamed, pulling Yerin into a huge hug, her entire body weight making Yerin fall onto the bed with Jinsol hovering on top of her barely.
Her face was right over hers, so close that they could feel one another's breath fanning across their faces.
Jinsol leaned slightly closer, her eyes flickering from Yerin's eyes to her lips.
But to her dismay, the younger girl turned her head away slightly, causing Jinsol to clench her jaw and also turn away.
"My first shoot is tomorrow. If you're free?"

...
"Nervous?"
Yerin pouted, Jinsol pulling her close and patting her back reassuringly.
"Don't be. I know my girl is going to be amazing."
She winked after, making Yerin chuckle and hide the slightly rosy cheeks that appeared.
Within a few minutes, Yerin was dragged away for her first shoot, with Jinsol observing from the set.
It was like the roles had been reversed, normally Yerin was the one watching her, but this time she was watching her.
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSRTFUxfP/
Shoot after shoot.
Jinsol's eyes would widen as she saw the girl appear in different outfits each time.
It was only a trial shoot, but the way Jinsol's eyes would scan Yerin from head to toe made her have to turn away.
The moment each shoot with the particular outfit would end, the younger girl would hurry past Jinsol, her hand reaching for Jinsol's and giving it a tight squeeze before running to get changed.

"YAH."
A couple of days later, the girls were all together in the practice room when Yerin received a smack on the shoulder from Gowon.
"Is this you?"
Gowon waved the phone in front of Yerin, attracting the attention of the other girls that wanted to see as well.
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSRTFPtWv/
"Yerin-ah that was from..."
"Elle Korea."
"You're in Elle?!"
Yerin gasped, her jaw dropping as she zoomed in on the pictures taken.
That was no doubt her.
"I- they used my pictures from the trial, but I'm not even a celebrity."
Yerin explained, she was still overly confused as to why she would be featured in such a magazine with all sorts of celebrities when she wasn't one.
"Well, you are now."
Yves went on Twitter to find that Yerin's Elle magazine was going viral.
People were unsure of who she was quite yet, her name wasn't written in the magazine, and only her face was out for the whole world to see. Although some fans did notice her from the collab cover with Loona she did a month ago.
She definitely wasn't on the front cover but within the middle pages.
...
"You're back late."
Jinsol noted, spinning her head around when she heard her door unlock.
Instead, the person at the door just stood there.
"Oh. Are you ok?"
She received a nod in response.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I was just checking on you."
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSRTFvToh/
"Ohh. Um ok. I'm fine. Thanks."
There was something about them that just felt so awkward.
She couldn't place her finger on it. When the awkwardness began, it was just... they weren't like each other how they used to be
...
At this rate, she was trying to keep her eyes open waiting for Yerin to return but sleep became too overpowering, as her eyes shut closed.
She was woken up by the presence of someone leaning over her. They were unaware of her being awake so she just continued to keep her eyes closed, feeling their lips press delicately against her shoulder. She wondered how long she could keep this up, the feeling of their lips trailing to the back of her neck.
That was until the person tapped her.
"Unnie. Wake up. Sleep in bed."
The person spoke softly.
Jinsol rubbed her eyes, sitting upright in her chair to face the younger girl that had just returned.
"What time is it?"
She mumbled.
"Just past 11:30."
Yerin helped Jinsol over to her bed, tucking her into the sheets, and fixing the pillow.
"Why were you gone for so long?"
The tired girl asked, her eyes fluttering closed.
"I was helping the editor fix some things. I'm posting my first video on BBC's YouTube channel."
She whispered to the tired girl.
"I'm so proud of you."
Jinsol showed a tired smile.
Yerin changed into one of Jinsol's spare oversized T-shirts and went to bed after brushing her teeth.
Jinsol's arms wrapped around her waist, as both girls rested their eyes for another big day ahead of them.
...

"You look gorgeous!"
The older girl told Yerin, after having shown the group her vlog-style video.
She engulfed Yerin in a tight hug.
"I'm so proud of our little Yerinnie. You're growing up too fast."
Yerin laughed, pulling the girl closer.
"Aigoo Chuu Unnie, don't be sad about it."
Jinsol in the meantime had her eyes narrowed towards the two girl's interaction from the other side of the room.
After a few minutes, Yerin excused herself from the practice room to go get a drink.
She didn't think she could stand to be in the same room as them anymore.
She would constantly see Kim Lip's eyes connect with Jinsol's, the two girls laughing it off before the same thing happened again moments later.
To say she was afraid was true.
Kim Lip and Jinsol had a history.
They were always closer to each other than they were to others. To say it didn't bother her even the slightest when she would scroll through social media and see fan edits of them was a severe understatement.
She was glad that Jinsol had a friend like that, but she was afraid.
Afraid that she would suddenly change her mind and realise who was better for her.
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSRTYjK2P/
"Something bothering you?"
Yerin spun around at the sound of a voice.
"What if she doesn't choose me?"
Choerry turned her head to glance back into the glass windows of the practice room to see Jinsol and Kim Lip joking around with each other.
"New couple trouble."
Choerry noted, looking over to Yerin that had her head hung low.
"Don't be afraid, Seo Yerin. I don't think you understand just how much that stupid Unnie over there, likes you."
Choerry spoke, pointing in the direction of Jinsol that was doing something completely out of the ordinary.
"But-"
"There are no buts. You should've heard her when she told me about that girl that she liked that had confessed to her. She's all over you. So don't worry, maknae."
Choerry rested her hand on Yerin's shoulder, shaking a smile out of her.
"You two make the best couple."
"I shouldn't be telling you this, but when you left and Jinsol Unnie did that one OST. She cried so much, and that was the first time I had ever seen her break down, and it was shocking."
https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSRw26xHY/
"Just because she cried it doesn't mean-"
"She's liked you for so long. Don't ever doubt that it will just disappear just like that, because even when you left-"
"Hey guys, we are ordering takeout."
Chuu poked her head out from the door to tell the two girls stood outside, interrupting their conversation.
...
"Hi, my model girlfriend."
Someone wrapped their arms around her waist from behind, resting their head on her shoulder.
"How about you and me go pick up the food?"
Yerin spun around to face the girl behind her, lifting her arms to rest them on her shoulders instead.
"Us? Is that really the best idea?"
"You don't want to spend time with me?"
She stuck out her lower lip, forming a pout.
"Ughh stop that. You win, let's go."
Yerin grabbed her hand, pulling her down the hallway, while the other girl continued to giggle.
...
The pair were on their way to pick up the food when Yerin saw a bunch of men carrying cameras on their shoulders.
"Shit."
She tugged Jinsol's flannel, the girl tripping over her own feet and falling into her chest.
"God damn it, Seo Yerin."
She mumbled, lifting her head to see the side of her girlfriend's face, her eyes scanning their surroundings whilst her arm was firmly gripping onto Jinsol's waist.
She instantly felt her heart swell just at the sight of her.
"Fuck it."
She said all of a sudden, catching Yerin's attention.
"You're a public figure now. Why do we have to hide? It's not like people will automatically assume we're dating, simply just friends from the same company."
Jinsol told the girl that slowly loosened her grip.
"Fuck it."
The two girls although seeing cameras nearby simply disregarded them. As they were walking, Jinsol pulled Yerin close, putting an arm around her shoulder.
"What did you and Choerry talk about earlier?"
She whispered.
"Secret."
...
"Ah thank god. You're finally back. I'm starving !"
Hyunjin sighed, immediately ruffling through the bags of food to find what she had been craving.
"You idiot."
"Me?"
Hyunjin spoke with her mouth full, turning around to the girl that spoke, a guilty expression on her face.
However, everyone's jaws simply unhinged when Yves pulled up the latest photos released.
"Jung Jinsol. How stupid can you be?"
Yves stood up, her arms folded over her chest, as she dragged her friend by the ear to the door.
"Ow ow. I'm coming. Just let go!"
She yelled.
"Unnie. Stop!"
Yerin began, seeing her girlfriend wince in pain.
"YOU. Out. NOW."
Yves spat, pointing at her too, whilst the group of girls looking on, shyly turned their heads away, not wanting to be scolded by Yves.
...
"Talk."
"She's a public fig-"
Jinsol began.
"Try again."
Yves said bluntly.
"As long as it's not dating rumours, it's fine."
Yerin spoke, to which Jinsol nodded her head.
"Don't be surprised if Pd-Nim calls you in tomorrow. Be careful both of you."
She warned, before heading inside and slamming the door behind her.
Jinsol opened the most recent post uploaded and read through the comments.
"We are ok. People are just realising who you are."
She said calmly, her arm around Yerin's waist.
"We don't have to hide our 'friendship.'"
She winked, making Yerin jokingly hit her shoulder before the two girls went inside to enjoy their food as well.
...
"You called?"
She peeked her head through the gap between the slightly opened door.
"Yerin-ah!"
Jinsol immediately hopped onto her feet and ran towards the girl that had walked in. Yerin patted Jinsol's head lightly and the two girls walked back to where the rest of the group was seated.
"Why are you here?"
Hyeju asked.
"Do you not want me here?"
Yerin raised her eyebrow, only for Hyeju to think of a list of excuses.
"Yves unnie texted me... oh. Where is she?"
Yerin scanned the group of girls that were currently present in the room, only to find that two of them were missing. Kim Lip and Yves.
As if right as scheduled, the two girls appeared, entering the room full of girls.
"Oh good! You're here."
Jungeun put her hands together and handed Yerin a sheet of paper that was colour coded.
"Star?"
"It's the English version of 'Voice.'"
Yerin continued to read through the lyrics whilst some of the more curious girls huddled around her to peer over her shoulder.
...
After a long day of recording, with Yerin helping the girls with their English everyone returned to the practice room where Yves decided to finally teach all of them the dance that had been choreographed for them.
"through the night,"
Jinsol said again, this time in a very agitated tone.
"One more time."
"through the night,"
The girl said once more.
"Stop getting me to say the same thing over and over again. It sounds the same every time. God, you're being annoying." She scowled.
Yerin's expression visibly fell.
She opened the door for Jinsol before shutting it behind her and heading back to her dorm.
