Chapter Title: The Day We Leave for the Trip Has Come!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
That same night after we'd finished our intense shopping spree and returned home...
An announcement went up on the Blue LUV fan cafe, channels, Twitter, and everywhere else.
It was the kind of news that would make the Pista a little sad.
That's right.
It was our group summer vacation announcement.
I hadn't expected it to go up quite this quickly, though.
Well, the vacation wasn't far off anymore.
It made sense timing-wise to post it now.
Out of curiosity, I peeked at the comments...
There were quite a few fun comments.
Since it was a group vacation with no safe havens left, lots of people expressed regret.
But most were positive, telling us to have a great time.
Wow, and in the midst of it all, someone nailed the group trip prediction. Impressive.
You could guess from the schedule, sure...
But I didn't expect it to be spot-on like that.
Seeing Cherry Squad's comment in the mix warmed my heart too.
Yeah, thanks.
I'll play hard, make tons of memories, and come back.
Tons and tons, enough to talk about with you Cherries all night long.
"Tofu, sorry! It was super hot, right? Mom promised one extra Churu!"
"Meow."
With that, I closed my phone and headed to the living room.
I scooped up Tofu, who must have been sulking from being left alone.
Not sure if it was the Churu or what, but Tofu was more mellow than expected.
Come to think of it, I need to find a place for Tofu during the vacation.
Lots to do.
Three days later, that morning.
I woke up buzzing with excitement and got ready in a flurry from the crack of dawn.
My heart was pounding with anticipation.
How could it not be?
It was the day Blue LUV was heading out on our first group trip.
Alright, all packed.
Phone and wallet in there too.
Power off everywhere in the house.
Now, finally...
"Tofu, come here! Uwushu~!"
"Meow?"
Just need to grab our Tofu.
Click-
I put Tofu in the carrier, locked it up.
One hand on the suitcase, carrier slung over the other shoulder, and out the door I went.
Of course, not planning to take Tofu to the trip spot.
I just felt too bad leaving her alone in the hot house for four days.
So this time, I booked a cat hotel.
Ra-hee unni asked around her connections and got a recommendation.
They say even celebrities use it for their cats—great facilities and care.
The most expensive room is 70,000 won a night.
But it's for our Tofu.
A bit pricey? No problem!
If it were for me, I never would've spent like this!
"Oh, Da-jeong. You out?"
"Unni!"
Stepping out the front door, I ran into Ra-hee unni waiting in the hallway.
Today's meetup is at the train station.
So on the way there with unni, we're stopping by the cat hotel to drop off Tofu.
"Looking cute today? The outfit we all picked last time, right?"
"Ehehe... Yeah."
Ra-hee unni smiling happily, pointing at my clothes.
I nodded, twisting shyly.
Just like unni said, this outfit was from the day we all went swimsuit shopping.
We didn't stop there—the endless shopping aftermath.
The coordinators? The members, naturally.
I thought I was gonna die back then.
Got a real feel for being a dress-up doll.
Even the shopping alone with Ra-hee unni felt like a breeze in comparison.
Everyone's tastes are so different, after all.
For example, Yuna likes lively-cute styles.
Chae-yoon unni goes for girl-crush boyish vibes.
Ra-hee unni prefers sleek and luxurious.
Ji-ah unni opts for mature and neat.
With each pushing their style, the pile quadrupled.
And later, when President found out, she said,
'I would've recommended some if I'd gone too.'
Cold sweat when I heard that.
Thank goodness she wasn't there.
- First floor.
Down to the first floor with unni, toward the car.
Started loading the trunk with suitcases and bags.
"Unni brought less than I thought?"
"Yeah, too lazy. Had someone send the essentials ahead. Clothes? Can buy there if needed."
"R-Really..."
Asked since her stuff was surprisingly light.
Answer blew my mind.
Procuring clothes on-site? Whole different level of thinking.
"Ready to head out?"
"Yes."
"Meow."
All loaded up, hopped in the car.
Me and Tofu answered in unison to unni's words as she buckled up.
Today's unusually clear sky shone vividly through the passenger seat window.
Dropped Tofu at the hotel and headed to the station.
Was nervous handing her to someone else,
but the place was nice, staff friendly—relieved me.
H-Hope Tofu doesn't refuse to come home later?
That'd be bad.
Now new worries creep in after dropping her off.
"Oh, you're here?"
"Welcome."
Parked, entered the station.
President raised a hand in greeting from the entrance.
So-eun unni beside her bowed as usual.
Other members not here yet?
We're first today.
"Da-jeong, first train ride, right?"
Standing there scanning around with suitcase beside me,
President's voice came.
Her hand rested naturally on my head like a stand now.
"Yeah. Subways plenty, but train's a first."
"It'll be fun. Train trips have their charm. Especially when you hit the coast—the sea spreads out beyond the window like a panorama. Spectacular."
"Whoa... Can't wait!"
President drawing a sweeping line like a panorama.
I sparkled, gasping without thinking.
Subways are just dark tunnels outside.
So eager for that scenery she described.
Wonder what it'll feel like.
"President, we're here!"
"Sorry we're late!"
"Sorry. The three of us coming together slowed us down..."
Mid-fantasy, the rest arrived.
Almost a trio of latecomers.
The three living nearby had planned to come together.
Narrowly avoided disaster.
"Alright, all here? Let's go. Pickup waiting at arrival, then van to the villa."
"Yessir!"
"Who's doing pickup?"
"Dunno. Ra-hee handled it."
"Ra-hee?"
Ra-hee unni requested it?
Meaning...
Everyone turned with 'no way' faces.
As six pairs of eyes landed on her, Ra-hee unni smirked mischievously and nodded.
"Villa caretaker's picking us up. Just the ride, then gone—no interruptions while we play."
"That's not the issue, unni."
"Hm? Oh, limo so no crowding worries."
"No, unni! Stop! A van's fine!"
"Right, unni! Riding that might give us heart attacks!"
Chae-yoon unni and Yuna, usually the ones tackled, turning the tables—quite the rare sight.
Villa caretaker, sorry.
Our fault for making you work on your break...
Apologizing inwardly to the unknown caretaker,
We all headed to the platform together.
"Ah, Director Choi. Sorry, not limo—bring a decent van? No, no reason, kids say uncomfortable."
Ra-hee unni's voice, seemingly on a call.
Lately, I've noticed:
Ra-hee unni feels a bit lacking in common sense too.
The polar opposite of me.
