"What do you mean 'fuck the plan'?!" Somi shouted over the phone as she hopped onto a FaceTime with Arin after waking up to the girl's teary voice messages

"Im kind of over it and...they're too nice for me to actually do this to" she said with a sigh, eyes puffy as she looked into the mirror, trying her best to cover it up with concealer

"You're joking right? Honey these frat boys—the word nice isn't even in their vocabulary" Somi sighed, the sound of a girl talking in the background cutting her off

"Who's that?" Arin asked

"Just my sister" Somi sighed

"I didn't know you had a sister" Arin said with surprise

"Yeah she goes to SNU. You'll meet her at the halloween party, I invited her—and stop trying to change the subject!" Somi hissed, the sound of Aeri joining the face time making them both smile and wave

"Abort mission?" Aeri asked, setting her phone down against a weight in the gym as she continued her workout, speaking to the girls through her earphones

"Arin, our little baby, has caught feelings for Haechan. Who literally broke her heart last night by the way" Somi said and Arin rolled her eyes

"We just...got bonding and he's actually a pretty sweet guy—"

"Is sweet guy in the room with us right now?" Somi asked and Arin let out an exasperated sigh

"Okay wait...didn't we move on from Haechan and decide to focus on Jaemin though?" Aeri asked, narrowing her eyes at the girl

"See? I just...everytime I get close to one of them for revenge, I end up getting attached or something—"

"That's exactly what they want!" Somi hissed making Arin groan

"Like hear me out, he took you to see the fucking stars which is like totally date vibes, he literally tells you he doesn't want a relationship with you. You let him fuck you and he gets to wake up today with no commitment to you whatsoever. Don't you see it? He's playing you by your strings! Making you feel all special and using you like his fuck toy" Somi explained and Arin scratched her head in confusion

"I really don't think it's like that..." she trailed off with a small voice, an unsettling feeling of the chance of it being true erupting in her stomach

"Well either way, the whole situation was a complete win for him and a loss for you. And now you probably caught syphilis or something" Somi mumbled and Arin scoffed, before getting offended and realising the dig was aimed at her

"Fine...so what do I do now? Because to be honest, I'm sick and tired of only waking up and thinking about boys everyday" she sighed and Aeri hummed

"I say just stick to the game plan, at least until the trip is over. Get Jaemin's attention and stick by him as much as possible. And if he's getting closer to you when you're back on campus then keep it going. And if he isn't, just cut your losses and make Kunhang your new fuck buddy" Aeri suggested and Arin groaned

"You're folding baby, and that's exactly what Jaemin gets his girls to do best. You better refocus. Come on, do it for all the women they hurt remember?" Somi said, before giving the girls a quick excuse to leave the call, Aeri following quickly after and leaving Arin to her own thoughts.

"But why is it my problem?" Arin sighed, staring at her reflection with a blue two piece on her body now, the bra being almost too tight on her. She shook her head and found a pair of ripped denim shorts and a sweatshirt to throw on over the bikini, slipping on some flat tennis shoes before walking out of Kira's old room which she slept in.

She walked into the kitchen, seeing Jeno's aunt give her a cup of coffee immediately upon arrival lime she usually did in the morning. She thanked the woman before conversing a little with her, soon finding herself walking out into the back garden to see the boys playing volleyball.

"THAT'S CHEATING! JISUNG GIVE HIM THE RED CARD!" Haechan said with a loud voice, getting heated up at the sport as half the group didn't take the game as seriously

"Excuse me, dude. You can't tell her referee what to do" Mark said with a chuckle

"Jisung listen to you elders!" Haechan shouted relentlessly making the younger boy cover his ears

"You're stressing my baby out!" Jaemin shouted, eyes catching a glimpse of Arin who had joined them outside, taking a seat on one of the lounge chairs

"Wait, Arin is here. We can play with even teams now" Jaemin said, turning the boys' attention to her and she shook her head frantically

"I'm fine right here" she said

"Arin. Listen to your elders" Mark said, using Haechan's tactics that he just tried to shut down a few seconds ago

"Come on, it'll be fun" Renjun said with a smile

"You're barely even moving your feet" Chenle shot back at him

"Yeah, you can play on my team. We're winning" Jeno said, beckoning her to come over. Jaemin did the same and she realised it was an easy gateway to stick to the gameplan

"Have fun losing because you got a girl on your team" Haechan teased childishly, and now Arin simply had to play for all of womankind

"Fine. Let's play." She said standing up with a determined voice, surprising a few of them

"Need a helmet?" Haechan teased, grabbing the ball from Jisung as he got into position

"Need you to shut the fuck up and play" she shot back making Mark exude weird noises in excitement at the trash talk

Haechan kicked the ball up with his feet, already not playing by standard rules but neither team could care at that point

"I got it! I got it!" Mark said, confidently kicking the ball into the net

"Bitch! Why would you say you got it if you didn't fucking have it?!" Arin roared, making Mark look at her with a shocked expression as the boys fell silent

"Oh by the way guys, Arin is very competitive" Jeno chuckled, picking up the ball and continuing the game. And he was right. Because if anyone needed a helmet at the end of the day, it was Haechan, after Arin had aimed every single shot at his head in vengeance.
