Chapter 84

The camping site had been rented exclusively for LE SSERAFIM and their team by Hybe, ensuring a private and open space for the group to enjoy their vacation. The staff members and managers had prepared a variety of delicious foods for the girls, and they all gathered around the table, savoring the hearty meals prepared for them. The atmosphere was filled with joy and relaxation as they enjoyed their time together.

"It's been a while since we had hanwoo for a gathering. I missed this," Eunchae remarked, taking a big bite of the hanwoo.

Yunjin couldn't help but tease the maknae, saying, "And it's not that hard to admit that meat is better than snacks."

With her mouth full, Eunchae could only respond by playfully pinching Yunjin's thigh.

"OUCHHHH!" Yunjin winced in pain but playfully retaliated by hitting Eunchae's shoulder.

Minha, returning from the grill area, placed more meat in front of the members. She had heard the commotion from there. "I could hear your voices all the way from there, Huh Yunjin," Minha commented, taking a seat next to her girlfriend.

"I swear, unnie, these two are always fighting nowadays," Chaewon shook her head, amused by their antics.

Minha smirked and suggested, "What if I make you guys sleep together for the whole vacation?"

Both Yunjin and Eunchae shook their heads in unison, not wanting to entertain that idea.

Eunchae continued chewing on her meat and said, "I can't sleep with Yunjin unnie. Her eyes and mouth are open when she sleeps." Eunchae's reason for avoiding sleeping with Yunjin was to prevent any potential fights, as she couldn't imagine waking up in the middle of the night and seeing Yunjin sleeping with her eyes open.

"Yah, what's the difference? Kkura unnie sleeps with her eyes and mouth open too!" Yunjin argued, pointing out Sakura's peculiar sleeping habit.

Sakura facepalmed herself, not wanting to get involved in their playful arguments.

Kazuha laughed, thoroughly enjoying the playful banter between the members. Minha turned to her left, gazing at her beautiful girlfriend. In that moment, Minha wished that time could stop, wanting to hold Kazuha in her arms forever. With her studio work behind her, Minha could now spend more time with Kazuha and continue the 'EASY' promotion together.

Naturally, Minha reached out and held Kazuha's hand, intertwining their fingers under the table. The familiar warmth, the gentle touch, and the way Minha rubbed her thumb against Kazuha's hand created a special connection that Kazuha cherished deeply. Kazuha was someone who appreciated the small things, and Minha excelled at making those moments meaningful. As they smiled at each other, they were drawn into their own world, while the other members continued their playful fights and banter.

It was 1 am, and everyone was resting and sleeping in their tents at the camping site. Minha, however, found solace in being alone. She sat outside by herself, throwing small rocks into the lake, allowing her emotions to flow freely. Being alone wasn't something she necessarily enjoyed, but it gave her a chance to reflect and be with her thoughts.

The preparation for the album had taken a toll on her, and she had faced numerous pressures and expectations from both others and herself. Despite achieving many things, both individually and as a group, she had neglected her girlfriend, her family, and even cut ties with her toxic father. The title of the album, 'EASY,' felt far from the truth. Nothing had been easy throughout the entire process, and Minha knew that when she lost something, she would gain something in return. The album held a significance that couldn't be expressed in words, and she wanted to do well, which added to her worries and burdens.
