Minji steps out onto the stage, hearing the fanchants escalade even louder, a wide smile spreading across her face as she raises the microphone and sings her line before looking to the side of her for Sandara's silent cue to switch places as part of some new dance routine they had to perfect last-minute for this Gayo Daejun.
Despite the exhaustion she's feeling from lack of sleep and pushing her body, she gives it her all; the smile never leaving her face as she dances and slides across the narrow stage, popping her body through the beats. She thinks the cheers escalade even louder, but it's all lost within her. this is what i want, she realizes, finishing her solo dance and giving a high-five to Chaerin waltzing by, this makes it worthwhile.

Backstage, Minji is stopped by Ga in, exchanging pleasant eyesmiles and congradulations with the older woman. They're rushed since Brown Eyed Girls are performing next, but Ga in still manages to ask if she has Sunday free; that they should practice for the next dance battle special with Hyuna and Nicole.
Minji says yes, she is free, and tries to ignore Chaerin's sudden appearance and tighten on her arm. Ga in, however, sees it, and lets a soft smile grace her lips before dashing back to the stage.
Chaerin walks Minji back, a hand on her lower back protectively. Minji finds it odd, but not unwelcoming.

They're back in the changing rooms finally, Minji pulling off her jersey and reaching for a cotton tshirt to wear to the gym, when Chaerin suddenly steps behind her and squeezes her shoulder. "You were great today, Mingkki," she smiles; it reaching her eyes and turning them into tiny slits.
"Like jellybeans," Minji replies, causing both of them to laugh at the anlogy. "Unnie, I'm going to go the gym."
"Really? You're not tired after performing?" Minji shakes her head, about to slip on the shirt, when Chaerin gently pulls it away from her. "That colour doesn't look good on you. Wear this one instead."
"But I like this shirt," she frowns in confusion, "Nicole unnie gave it to me for our dance battle special." Chaerin's eyes narrow at this, firmly pressing the shirt into Minji's hands.
"This one."
Minji puts it on with no furthur questions. She catches a soft whiff of Chaerin's perfume and a funny warmth spreads through her body.

After Inkigayo next week, Bom takes her out to dinner with Chaerin; her treat (as long as she can order at least two corn dishes; Sandara asks to be brought back spam and eggs for the kick of it). Throughout dinner, Minji swears she feels Chaerin's protective hen-like personality lurking over her shoulder. Bom opens her mouth to say something, but is cut off when a shy throat clearing comes from behind them.
It's one of their male fans, shyly holding out a copy of their first mini album.
"Um...excuse me...can I get Mingkki's autograph?"
"It's 'Minzy'," Chaerin snaps, much to her dismay. Sure, she could be hot-headed, but...this was barely unheard of. "Perhaps later?" she finishes somewhat softly.
"Unnie, don't be harsh," Minji replies, taking the pen and signing the album and adding a "fighting, always~! ^^" to it, handing it back to the fanboy.
Chaerin jabs at her ramyun angrily, muttering something in French as she watches Minji converse with the boy rather happily.
"There's something about him I don't like. What if he tries to ask for my Mingkki's phone number? Unnie, what do I do? Should I go over and stop them?"
Bom doesn't even look up from her corn, much to Chaerin's dismay. "Some help you are."
"Huh? Did you say something, Chaerin?"
"You have corn in your hair...and on your dress."
"...Oh."
They leave the resturant ten minutes later, Bom plucking pieces of corn from her dress. "The nerve of some food, having the audacity to jump off my chopsticks. I already told it I was sorry for devouring its brothers and sisters; I was just terribly hungry."
Chaerin starts to question her very life at that moment, but decides it's a "YG Family Thing". She makes a mental note to ask Jiyong how he deals with Seunghyun's mood swings (both of them).

"What has gotten you so worked up?!" Minji snaps when they're back at the dorm, short hair pulled into a tiny ponytail as Chaerin lounges on her bed, flipping through a Jeremy Scott magazine with a Sharpie, circling items she wants and jotting small notes in the margins before setting it to the side.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Chaerin replies, taking a bite from a protein bar she scooped up, turning the page a little too hard.
"Well first off, you snapped at a fan. Even when you're grumpy, that isn't like you. Secondly, you get angry when i bring up Nicole and Ga in unnie. and third -"
Minji's cut off by Chaerin suddenly leaning over and kissing her softly. Chaerin tastes like peanut butter, chocolate, and Chaerin, and Minji finds she rather enjoys that.
"Oh," she says when they break apart after a few minutes, "Oh."
"Yeah. So...um..." Chaerin looks unsure and hesitant, and Minji's never seen this side of her; not since a moment before their debut stage. "I kind of...I really...I mean..."
"I get it," Minji smiles, leaning back over and kissing her again, wrapping a small hand around her wrist and squeezing it.
Chaerin smiles up at her widely at this; Minji laughing and pressing a kiss to her forehead.
"Jellybeans."
Their laughter keeps the dorm lively that night.
