i heavily sighed as i sat down. we were told to rest for the following days in order to prepare for our upcoming world tour, which will start in my homeland.

"girls, i'm really bored!" jisoo unnie announced.

it was the day after GDA D-1, there would be another one later but we're not invited anymore.

and even if we were, yg sajangnim wouldn't allow us, especially when he heard what happened at the backstage.

i still don't have any idea as to what kook was planning. he was about to come to me when our staff pulled me into the dressing room.

i even heard him calling out my name but i wasn't allowed to go out. other idols told me that jungkook was blocked by another staff.

i wasn't able to contact him afterwards since yg confiscated our phones. he even stated that he'll be closely watching our actions from now on.

"ugh, i still don't get why he's being strict to us now? wasn't he the one who even came up with the jenkai idea?!" chaeng complained.

"and now just so because lisa and jungkook dating rumors are surfacing, he suddenly puts us in his dungeon? ugh!" she continued.

"'mian, guys." i muttered. "i didn't mean for you to be involved in this."

"huh? ani! it's not your fault lili! it's that old man's." chaeng cleared out.

"agree, but i still wonder what jungkook's going to do by now. especially that his plan failed." jennie unnie said.

i shrugged and looked at chaeng who's eyes suddenly widened. i arched my eyebrow at her which made her avoid eye contact with me.

"ya park chaeyoung! what is it huh? you have an idea don't you?" i asked as i went closer to her.

she instantly stood up and moved over to jisoo unnie's side. i ran over to her and squinted my eyes.

"wae? wae? stop staring at me like that! unnies, help!"

"aish, just tell her. i bet the plan's off already." jisoo unnie answered.

"ya unnie! we can never tell! plus i think it'll be better if jungkook's the one who'll say it to her." jen said.

i stood and looked at the three of them. so all this time, they do have an idea what was going to happen?

"come on unnies! tell me what is it, huh? jaebal?" i pleaded.

they all looked elsewhere and started changing the topic. but i still insisted them on telling me what it was.

i started doing aegyos to the point that they'll all cringe.

"someone make her stop please!"

"ugh chaeng, just tell her!"

"i ain't saying any word! mochi would be mad! just stop lisa!"

"arasso i'll tell! just so you can shut up and stop doing that shitface already lisayah!" jisoo annoyingly stated which earned chuckles from me.

they can't resist my charm after all, eh?

"wait, promise first not to tell the boys. do we have a deal?"

i reached out to her for a handshake. she sighed before speaking up.

"okay so, jin told me that kook planned a surprise for you yesterday. i don't know the specifics but he was going to ask you a question."

"he really made an effort lili, that's what my chimchim told me." chaeng intervened.

something suddenly pricked my heart. i can't believe i let his efforts go to waste. and the fact that i didn't contact him afterwards, nor made an effort to reach out to him.

"ya lili, stop whatever you're thinking right now. don't worry, i think the boys have an idea what's happening right now to us." jen reassured.

"i just hope they know we were restricted in using the wifi too." i sadly said.

they all came nearer and hugged me. we may bicker and all, but at the end of the day, they're still my unnies who i love so much.

"but is it true? rumors between you two are rising?"

"yeah, i think it even started during the MMA. i don't know i haven't checked my media. it was just my hunch, okay?" chaeng answered.

"why would rumors even spark between us? we're not that obvious." i defended.

"yeah, tell that to his thaikooks and jungcopy."

"and to those fancams of you two stealing glances at each other."

"not to mention the fact how the boys tease him whenever you're around."

"you're the one to talk jisoo unnie, when in fact you tease me as well. have you forgotten about yesterday?" i furrowed my eyebrows at her.

"what? i was just dancing gashina!" she said.

we all laughed and settled in watching netflix movies before the broadcast for GDA D-2.

yet i can't help but wonder, what will ever happen to us?

will this be the end?
