Narrator
The group sat down in the restaurant and began eating. The group members filmed their food lots while they ate.
"Woooww, look at the shrimps!!" Danielle exclaimed. "So yummy, Y/n, try it!"
"Cmon.. open wide!" Danielle said, trying to feed Y/n.
"It's pretty good," Y/n said, nodding at Danielle.
Minji started getting jealous at this.
"Y/n, here." She said, feeding them some tteokbokki.
Y/n's POV
"Waahh, you should've seen the way Y/n was dashing around and taking people out left and right," Hyein said to Haerin.
"Y/n's scarily strong," Eunchae added.
"Hey, Y/n." Minji said, regaining my attention.
"Hm? What's up?" I asked.
She puts some noodles in her mouth, signalling at me to get the other side.
The moment I get the other bit in my mouth, Minji leans forward immediately and kisses me. I can slightly smell alcohol.
My eyes come across Danielle, and she's got a sad look on her face. I suddenly felt bad.
I pulled away from Minji and continued eating awkwardly.
Minji and Danielle are both easily the most stunning girls I've seen.
Whether they fight over me or not, I don't think I'll ever be able to choose between the two.
"Get in, guys! Group photo!!" Eunchae exclaimed, holding a camera above us all.
"3.. 2.. 1.."
Danielle suddenly grabbed me by the arm and leaned on my shoulder as the camera flashed.
"Eat up everyone, because Y/n's paying!!"
I shot a sore loser look at Minji. She smirked at me before pouring another glass of alcohol for herself.
I feel a little weight on my arm and realise that Dani still hasn't let go.
"Hey, you okay?" I whispered.
"I- I'm okay, are you?" She said.
"You're being weird, is something wrong?" I asked.
She got up and kissed me on the cheek out of no where.
Everyone at the table looked at her with their jaws dropped, including Minji.
"I'll be in the bathroom." She said, abruptly leaving.
What bothered me was that she was genuinely upset. I got up from my seat to follow her, when Minji grabbed my hand.
"What are you doing?" She said.
"She's clearly not okay, I need to help her." I said, taking Minji's hand off of mine.
"Dani? You in there?" I asked, knocking on the bathroom stall.
"Y/n? That you?" She said.
"Yeah, it's me. Can we talk?" I asked.
She opened the door and her she looked terrible. Her hair was all messy, and her makeup was ruined.
"Hey. What's going on?" I asked in a worried tone.
She crumbles and falls, and I catch her.
She starting sobbing, saying, "I can't hold on anymore!"
"What do you mean?" I said.
"What that organisation's doing to us, blowing up our homes and concerts, and what happened today, it just keeps coming!!" She cried. "When will it all stop?!"
This girl... she'd been mentally struggling and traumatised, and she's been hiding it all this time.
"Okay okay, chill out, and let's talk." I said.
She calmed down.
"I tried getting advice from Chaewon, but I couldn't stick to it. It was too difficult." She sniffled.
"Ah, Chaewon," I chuckled. "Why were you getting advice?"
"Because I like you, dammit!" She confessed. "I really want to be with you, like when we first met. But standing up to someone like Minji unnie is scary."
"Is that why you ran off?" I comforted her, rubbing her on the back.
"I don't know what to do with myself, Y/n." She said.
"Well, how about we get back to the table and we'll talk more when we go home?" I suggested.
She nodded at me, still sulking.
"Let's get you cleaned up," I said.
We walked out, and Danielle did our old habit where we would let our pinkies interlock, and it brought back so many memories.
We went to sit down and Minji looked at us weird.
"Why are you being like that to Danielle?" She whispered. "I thought you were beefing."
"Give it a rest, her mental state isn't the best, and we've been ignoring it." I grunted.
"Yeah right, lame excuse," She said.
"It's not an excuse, I'm being honest." I said.
"If you like Danielle why don't you just say that?" Minji said out loud.
"Oh come on, don't be that way!" I said.
"Don't be what way? I saw you two hold hands on the way out. I'm not stupid!" She yelled.
"She's struggling to stay on her feet, alright?! Now quit it!" I yelled back.
"Are you trying to get through all of us? Because Hanni's next up on the list, oh wait! She's too busy with Cheol isn't she? Sucks for you!" Minji yelled.
"What do you mean?" Haerin asked Minji.
"That's right, while you were asleep, Hanni was riding Cheol like a horse and making out with him!" Minji answered.
"Now wait a second, that's not what happened at all!!" Cheol spoke up.
"Cheolie, is this true?" Haerin asked.
"What? No, of course it isn't!" He answered.
The other couple starting arguing as well.
"Why are you believing her?" Cheol said.
"Why would she lie though?" Haerin replied.
"Look, look! Now look what you've started!" I yelled at Minji.
"The truth had to be revealed, hm?" She said.
"Now you're just being ridiculous." I said.
She finished her glass of alcohol before tossing it on the floor and walking out.
"Right that's enough! Time to go home!" Chaewon yelled. "Sorry for the glass! We've got to go!"
We were all outside in the night's coldness, trying to let off some heat.
"Listen, I think we all need to go our separate ways and discuss it when we're all calm." Eunchae said. "And sober."
"Cmon Danielle." I said, holding her by the hand.
"Just gonna throw me out like that?" Minji said.
"You can live in your own big house, thick head!" I snapped back.
Minji tried to attack me, but Chaewon stopped her.
"No. Okay? Go home." She said.
"Urgh, fine." Minji said, turning back.
Cheol's POV
"But it's not even true!" I yelled.
"You had the guts to cheat on me? I'm out!" Haerin yelled.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"I'm not telling you! You can stay right here, cheater!" Haerin yelled before leaving.
"Aw come on! What the hell?" I groaned, glaring at Hanni. "Tell her it didn't happen, Hanni!"
"It didn't happen, Haerin." Hanni said, ashamed.
"And you! How dare you make out with Cheolie right infront of me?" Haerin yelled.
Haerin tackles Hanni to the ground, and Eunchae breaks them up.
"Stop!! Hanni, you go home, Haerin, walk the other way." She said.
"Wait up, Haerin!" I said, trying to wheel after her. "Stupid wheelchair!"
"It's okay, I'll push you home." Eunchae insisted.
Why would Minji say something like that? It's not even what happened.
Eunchae walks me all the way home.
We normally would've talked and caught up on the way home but now was not the time.
She helped me get inside the house and I immediately went to the bedroom.
Haerin had her head in her arms, curled up like a ball.
"Haerin," I said. "I-"
"Go away!! I HATE YOU!!" She cried.
Those words stabbed me right in the chest.
"Fine," I said, grabbing a blanket so I can stay warm in my wheelchair.
"You can't sleep in here anymore!" She yelled. "JUST GET OUT!!"
I left the room, head down at the ground.
I decided to leave her alone and head to Eunchae's.
