|JiSu's POV|
"Where's Aera? Is she still not back from the studio—I swear I'm going to have a heart attack one of these times." NaHee sighs as she pulls her phone out and starts dialing Aera's number.
"Relax, the queen herself has arrived. I told you I would be on time." Aera states smugly as she sets her bag down on the table and grabs a piece of JuHee's apple.
"You were supposed to be here like ten minutes ago." NaHee groans as she hands me a bowl of cut up fruit.
"I'm here now, that's all that matters. All I have to do is my makeup. It'll only take a few minutes." Aera brushes NaHee off before hurrying toward her and SunMi's room.
"I told you to keep that cat contained. I'd rather not keep sneezing." SunMi groans as she delicately pushes JuHee's cat off her lap.
"She just wants some love." JuHee hops to her feet and quickly makes her way toward the cat. She holds the cat close to her as she hurries back to finish eating.
"You're being really quiet. Is something wrong?" NaHee asks as she sits down next to me and rests her chin on my shoulder.
"Nope. Just a little tired." I shrug as I try to brush her off as confidently as Aera had.
"You're not lying to me, right?" NaHee attempts to pry a little more earning a soft sigh from me.
"I'm just worried. We didn't exactly have a great performance yesterday. We have that radio show then we're going out to do some busking—what if no one stops? What if they do stop and cause a scene?" I push my bowl of fruit away, suddenly not interested in eating at all.
"If they cause a scene we just ignore them unless they do something to one of us. If it becomes dangerous for us to be there we leave. It's as simple as that. We aren't going to let the haters get to us, right?" NaHee chirps as she glances at each one of us for reassurance.
"It's not always that easy." I mumble, but nod in agreement as NaHee slips a bag of gummies toward me.
"Eat those and grab a strawberry milk out of the fridge. I picked some up for you last night. Which brings me to—JuHee." NaHee gets up and makes her way toward the youngest with outstretched arms.
"Yes?" JuHee questions as she sets her cat down and allows NaHee to wrap her in a hug.
"No more watching horror movies with Sun at night. Okay, my dear?" NaHee smiles as she smooths JuHee's hair down.
"Is that what woke me up last night?" I chuckle as I spin around to see JuHee's bright cheeks.
"It wasn't the movie—it wasn't even that scary." JuHee attempts to defend herself.
"Oh my god! What is that? It's terrifying—turn it off—turn it off! JuHee, it's just a scarecrow in a field. It's too creepy!" SunMi imitates JuHee and her conversation during the movie.
"It was a creepy scarecrow! They don't usually have those weird eyes—it had a freaky smile, too!" JuHee pouts as NaHee laughs and pulls away.
"Aera! Are you ready? We have to get going! ChanHyuckie should be here soon." NaHee calls out for Aera as she approaches the closed bedroom door.
"I'm just changing real quick!" Aera responds as she digs through her closet.
"Don't go too over the top, okay?" NaHee sighs as she turns toward the door the moment a soft knock sounds.
"I'll get it!" I hop up and rush to the door.
"Are you girls ready for today?" ChanHyuck asks as he smiles brightly.
"This one here is worried, but I told them it'll be fine." NaHee comes up behind me and wraps her arms around me. She pulls me back slightly so ChanHyuck can slip passed me.
"Don't worry about yesterday. I took care of it. They won't be doing any of that anymore—at least not at that studio." ChanHyuck explains softly as he stands in the kitchen next to the counter.
"JuHee—cat." SunMi sighs as she picks up Dubu and sets her down on the floor.
"Sorry." JuHee frowns as she scurries toward the cat and picks her up. She quickly sets her in our bedroom and shuts the door.
"Did you girls eat?" ChanHyuck asks as he glances toward the table to see my untouched bowl.
"Some of us did, others—JiSu—wouldn't. Aera just got back from the studio, so she hasn't eaten either." NaHee motions to Aera as she slips out of the bedroom with a soft smile.
"Once we're done at the radio show, I made reservations at a restaurant for you guys." ChanHyuck grins as we all perk up in excitement.
"Really? Where at? Are we getting dessert?" I chirp as I grab ahold of his arm and bounce up and down.
"It's not much, but I'll get you ice cream after." ChanHyuck laughs as JuHee and I both lock arms and jump up in down.
"I think we're ready to go." NaHee glances at each one of us to ensure we're presentable before motioning us all toward the door.
"Look here, the idol is instructing the CEO." ChanHyuck teases as we all make our way out of the house.
