"It would be nice if you and Jaemin could be honest with us." Hyunjin complained as he sipped the tea Xiaojun prepared.

They were in Karina's house, the one located across Jeno's after Xiaojun had declared they have some time to themselves after eventful weeks in their school. Xiaojun too invited Jaemin but got no response from the bunny. He must be with Jeno.

They were in one her mansion's living room situated outside her bedroom. It was a common area where they mostly gathered during the summer of a week before the major exams.

Xiaojun poured everyone another cup of tea. "I believe you have something to tell us, Karina." He side-eyed the girl who stared at him from under her long lashes.

"Tell us about what?" Jungwon asked, confused at what Xiaojun was saying. This was his first time, in a long time, since he was clueless about a topic.

Sunoo nodded his head in agreement, "Yes, about what?"

Karina placed her cup and saucer on the center table, hands soon finding her lao. She took a deep breath and exhaled shakily. "I'm the cause of all of this and Jaemin finding out is only a catalyst that made the reactions speed up."

Yeonjun frowned, "Can we skip the chemistry and go to the good part? I'm not here to listen about particle surface area, temperature, and catalysts on how it can affect the rate of reaction."

Karina shook her head, dismissing Yeonjun's idea. "What I mean is, I'm the cause of all of this."

"Of what?" Beomgyu asked, not catching up.

"Why Minjeong is being harassed by Jaemin you idiots." Xiaojun sneered, annoyed that they couldn't connect the dots in front them. "You really think Jaemin would start harassing someone for no reason?"

"With his personalities, especially junior. He's a menace." Donghyuck shivered in fright as he recalled the time Jaemin junior tortured a rat because it was making a mess in the cafe. "He tortured a rat before dissecting it. He gave us an anatomy presentation."

"We're getting off-topic." Hyunjin intervened before they get sidetracked. If anything, they get sidetracked by almost anything. He looked at Karina. "Explain."

"Remember when I was rushing to finish my enrollment?" Karina was reminded of her enrollment by Jaemin, who nagged at her for waiting for the last minute to enroll. "I met winter there."

Donghyuck furrowed his brows, "Winter? Who's that again."

"Minjeong." Xiaojun took his place beside Karina. There were four sofas surrounding the center table at the right corner of the room. In front of them was Hyunjin and Yeonjun. On the left sofa was Jungwon and Sunoo. And on the right was Yeonjun and Beomgyu.

"Wait, is this our Minjeong or?" Yeonjun looked expectantly at the two.

"Minjeong that you guys know and is being tormented by Jaemin is the same person as Winter who works for Jaemin." Karina explained.

Beomgyu chortled, "Damn. Just how many times does she need to encounter Jaemin in a day? And with two different personas."

"And you knew about this?" Jungwon narrowed his eyes at Xiaojun who feigned innocence. "Yet told us now?" he blinked, "Are you crazy?!"
