The girls current task was a close opposite to the previous one. Where they were with similar souls before, today they found themselves with members that they had the least in common with.

Minhyuk and Wonho were working hard to get Soobin to loosen up with them. They made it their mission to make her natural sitting position a slouch by the end of the night. It took them longer than it should have to turn it into a game, giving her absurd modeling poses to encourage her to loosen up.

Kihyun was close to tearing his hair out as he tried to get Cho to sit still long enough to cook with him. Hyungwon was no help, laughing at them as he sipped on tea. Kihyun was trying not to get mad, and when Cho realized it, she actively began to annoy him further, laughing at his frustration.

Jiyeon was with Shownu and I.M, failing to succeed at not laughing as they sat on the floor meditating. I.M was bored, but Shownu was patient as he tried to teach Jiyeon how to keep her composure. But the more she tried to be calm, the more she thought of funny images, and she would snort with laughter until the others couldn't help but join in.

Sai was with Jooheon, tasked with doing the unthinkable.

Aegyo.

It was a horrifying thought, even imagining Sai doing the dreaded act.

"It's not hard, just copy me. It's all about being comfortable with yourself and letting go."

"No, I refuse! We're opposites and that won't change. You like aegyo, I don't. I won't."

She had a look of pure disbelief as she began to understand this. Her mission was to do aegyo. She never wanted to do aegyo, even as a kid. Her aunt had tried and tried, but she had never done it. But her competitive nature flared up at the thought of failing a mission.

While anyone watching would no doubt find it highly entertaining, Sai actually felt sick to her stomach.

"I refuse to think we're opposites. I can think of lots of similarities between us."

"Really? Name one," a pointed pause, "and attending the same school doesn't count."

Jooheon was temporarily stumped, but he quickly bounced back, giving her a smile worthy of a swoon.

If Sai was a fan, maybe.

"We both look intimidating, but we're secretly adorable."

"You're not really all that secretive about it, Jooheoney-" a rushed exhale, "Jooheon."

Old habits died hard, what could Sai do?

"We're speaking too informally, I shouldn't - "

"We're school friends, this is how were supposed to talk."

Friends? What world was Jooheon living in? They'd hardly held a substantial conversation with each other during the 4 years they'd studied together. And they were supposedly friends?

"So, you think I'm adorable?" Jooheon smiled innocently.

Sai brushed off his statement, casually looking away. "What makes you think that I'm adorable?"

"Because your little friend had a lot to say yesterday."

Sai's eyes narrowed, and her lips clenched into a line. "I'm going to kill Cho."

"You don't say it out loud, now when she ends up dead they're going to know it was you."

Sai laughed, allowing her face to soften momentarily before returning to the tough exterior she put on.

"See, adorable."

Sai pouted before thinking better, frowning deeply in annoyance.

"I took martial arts, I can kick your-"

She glared at Jooheon, considering licking his hand as punishment for covering her mouth, but she decided against it, not wanting the germs on her tongue.

He let go after another moment, and Sai continued. "I'm not adorable, I'm gorgeous." Her fingers brushed against the tips of her hair as she flicked her hand across her shoulder, smirking widely.

"That's adorable."

Sai gave a small smile, putting a forefinger against both of her cheeks and pressing down to dip into the soft skin. "I'm cute!"

Jooheon squealed, and Sai shrugged, but a light blush rose to her neck at her ghastly exhibition.

"What? I'm not going to fail a mission."
