Chapter 4

When Jeongyeon returned, Nayeon approached her immediately.

"Jeongyeon! Where did you go?", Nayeon immediately asked.

"Just walking, * looks around * where are the others?", Jeongyeon asked again.

"Ah I almost forgot, let's go to the big tree, and there they are", Nayeon hugged Jeongyeon and held her hand directly, they went to a nearby tree with a small creek a good place to have a picnic.

"You two make it faster!" Jihyo shouted, and soon the two arrived. Jeongyeon sat next to Mina while Nayeon to her other side.

"okay I have something important to say, our manager informed me earlier that there was a change in the schedule. Jeongyeon did they inform you?" when Jihyo started

"Yes, so I came back right away to ask you", Jeongyeon replied.

"What are you guys talking about?", Nayeon asked.

"We still have the same schedule except for Jeongyeon who has to go to New York for the photoshoot of Cosmopolitan Magazine", Jihyo explained.

"Wow ~ bro congratulations ~" Chaeyoung spoke first and greeted Jeongyeon followed by the others.

"When is her flight?", Mina asked.

"The day after tomorrow, our manager and the other staff will arrive ahead of schedule to pick up Jeongyeon and brief her on what needs to be done. Jeongyeon I hope you prepared everything you need". Jihyo replied while reminding Jeongyeon.

"Yeah * swiping to her phone *" Jeongyeon replied shortly.

"Are you even listening?", Jihyo asked then Nayeon looked at Jeongyeon and found her swiping to her phone.

"What are you doing?", Nayeon added.

"I'm listening, I'm just lookingfor some tool , because I'm leaving I'm worried about what you'll do when you return to the dorm so I plan to order gadgets to help you guys take care of our dorm *stop swiping * *look at everyone* I'm expecting you guys to clean our dorm and take care of yourselves, always make it sure that you bring basic needs even if the staff has already prepared. " Jeongyeon explained while ordering as well.

"haa ~ what do we expect from her? She's the one leaving but she has more orders", Dahyun just said

"Jeongyeon-unnie you're the one who's going alone, we are the ones who are supposed to give you a few reminders because we are worried for you", Tzuyu said while everyone nodded their heads.

"I'll be fine", Jeongyeon's short answer with a grin also disappeared immediately.

"How about I go with Jeongyeon? I'm quite good in English language and I have no schedule to attend to", Mina suggested, Jihyo think about Mina's request

"Jeongyeon what do you think ?," because Jeongyeon is the one leaving Jeongyeon should decide about it Jihyo thought

"Are you sure Mina?" Jeongyeon confirmed to Mina.

"Yes I'm sure", Mina replied with a smile and Jeongyeon also smiled.

"Wait! I'll come too" Nayeon chased.

"Nope you're not going anywhere", Jihyo immediately protested then she informed their manager about Mina and Jeongyeon.

"I informed our manager if he agrees then you two will have to prepare", Jihyo said.

"Wait! Why can't I Mina ?," Nayeon appealed standing up on the seat.

"Because Twice Tv season 6 will start after 3 days off, and if you don't, the fans might worry or backfire on our good intentions if you and Mina come together. And since Mina suggested it first then Mina will the one would come with Jeongyeon"Jihyo explained

"but- but the fans will be interested in us if the one whose going with Jeongyeon is me because a lot of fans like the both of us together", Nayeon said pitifully while looking at Jeongyeon.

"It doesn't matter we can do fan service some other time, besides Mina and I only have 3 to 4 days and we are always together on cam and off cam. Aren't you tired of us always stick together? ", Jeongyeon joked

"Of course not!" Nayeon replied immediately

"Hahaha, I want to have some time with Mina too you know, right Mina?", Jeongyeon joked then wink to Mina

"umm .. Yeah", Mina replied shortly

"see?"

"fine, take care of Mina okay?", Nayeon said

"Don't worry, she's in the right hand", Jeongyeon said.

"You guys are talking as if Jeongyeon and Mina are getting married", Momo joked, Mina slowly bowed her head because she could feel the heat crawling from her neck going up to her face.

"We are still waiting for the manager's response just for everyone's knowledge", Jihyo said as a reason for the members to realize that they have not even confirmed whether their manager will allow a member to join.

"I hope our manager would agree even if it wasn't me, Mina can handle Jeongyeon and protect her image in time so if you think about it Mina will better to go with Jeongyeon", Nayeon said while realizing the advantage of Mina going with Jeongyeon, of course, it's for the group too, because for each member of the group achievement of one achievement of all, and their image will affect the other members so protecting their idol image when needed is a must because Jeongyeon sometimes act like a dork

"Thank you Nayeon-unnie, I'll do my best", Mina said, even though she was just smiling, she was really excited inside because she could be with Jeongyeon.

"Just be careful, okay?", Nayeon reminded again.

"You're acting like her mother", Jeongyeon said jokingly

"I'm just worried that you will teach her something irresponsible, look what you did to Tzuyu she learned how to cheat thanks to you", Nayeon retorted.

"Stop you two. The manager agreed but" Jihyo said while having a complicated face

"What's wrong?" Nayeon asked worriedly.

"Let me see", Sana said taking Jihyo's cellphone at the same time, Jihyo didn't react and just let Sana read. After Sana read the message she looked at the others then at Jihyo, Jihyo just looked at her and nodded. So Sana read it

"Okay, I'll read it listen carefully.

-I talked to the team and decided that Jeongyeon could bring a member for her to be able to work comfortably knowing she's not alone but it's supposed to be Nayeon. We have a schedule for Mina later we still discussing it with the team. I'm sorry maybe next time everyone can go abroad together.

That's it. ", Sana said while everyone is silent, Mina stand up and went to their tent, and then Jeongyeon follow her. Nayeon felt guilty because she wanted to go earlier but seeing Mina's reaction, she doesn't want to go anymore but then again their manager have a valid reason so she hesitates on what to do.

"It's okay Nayeon, let Jeongyeon handle this and don't be guilty you didn't do anything wrong", Sana comforted.

"That's right Nayeon-unnie, it will be fine let's just give them time", added Momo

"I'll follow them", Chaeyoung said who suddenly stood up but Jihyo also stopped her immediately, Chaeyoung looked at her as if asking why she was being stopped.

"Let them talk, you know that Mina sometimes only open-up to Jeongyeon and in her reaction she obviously wants to have time with Jeongyeon maybe she wanted to talk about something", Jihyo explained.

"Now that you mention it, her reaction makes sense I mean Jeongyeon was closest to her before but because of some fans hated her for being close to Jeongyeon she avoided Jeongyeon and distant herself she only interacted with Jeongyeon more when off cam.", He said Dahyun, on the other hand, while remembering another incident where Mina was just looking at Jeongyeon and didn't approach or talk to her or sometimes she would only talk a little and wouldn't keep quiet after a few exchanges. Dahyun nodded to herself as she thought. And the other members came to mind as well.

"Why can't she talk to us? I understand that Jeongyeon-unnie is a great listener and fun to be with but it's the same to all of us right?", Chaeyoung asked because she felt she became a substitute just because of the fans that they both became close instead of Jeongyeon and Mina. "Nayeon-unnie what do you think?", Chaeyoung ask because she felt that she could understand her.

"Mina is an introvert and Jeongyeon has always been with her from the beginning, even me, Jihyo and Jeongyeon are close but the attention Jeongyeon gives to Mina are much more since we met in Sixteen Tv program. So I admit that I'm jealous sometimes but because of Mina's personality so I understand Jeongyeon I mean who doesn't want to take care of someone like Mina? ", Nayeon explained while asking the other member's opinion.

"Nayeon is right, like right now we are all worried about Mina but since she's closest to Jeongyeon she'll be more open here, and maybe because of the length of time she stays away from Jeongyeon because most of the time we are being followed by cameras so it must be hard for her, unlike Nayeon who can cling to Jeongyeon 24/7 even though she's being hated by Jeongyeon herself ", Jihyo agreed accompanied by a little joke which made the member laugh thank you that the heavy atmosphere became light again.

"fine ~ I'm also just worried and maybe because I'm younger than Mina-unnie so she's reluctant to open to me even if we're close". Chaeyoung explained to herself
