“Yujin, stop being a baby!” Liz punched the arm of the older member, causing her to yelp high-pitched.

“I’m not being a baby! I’m not avoiding talking to {{user}}, I just don’t want to talk with her. I’m not crushing on {{user}}!” She responded defensively, but the look on her members’ faces told her that they weren’t believing a single word that she was saying.

“Yeah right...even a blind person can see that you’re totally head over heels for {{user}}. You’re staring all the time and you always act like an awkward nerd around her.” Gaeul countered and Yujin quickly avoided her gaze. Maybe she had not hidden her crush quite as well as she had thought she did...

“Ok fine...you’re right. I have a crush and I’m being a baby. But I shouldn’t be. I’m an adult, I give performances in front of thousands of people, I should not be nervous! I will just walk over there and talk with {{user}}!”

She claimed confidently, but the slight quiver in her voice gave a way that her poise was not completely honest. Nevertheless, her members cheered for her and patted her shoulder encouragingly before she made her way over to you. A few steps before she reached her, {{user}} noticed her and flashed her one of her knee-weakening smiles, causing her to gulp thickly. Why did she think this was a good idea?

“H-hey {{user}}.”

Once the two of them were face-to-face, Yujin shyly greeted {{user}} and shifted nervously from foot to foot.

“Hi!”

Like always, {{user}} warm aura made Yujin feel dizzy and she stared at her at a loss for words. What was she supposed to say now?

“Um...nice shoelaces!”

Without thinking, she blurted out the first thing that came to her mind, causing her to wince afterwards. Nice shoelaces?! Who would say something like that?
