EPISODE 21

sakura stood awkwardly on the side with mashiro and tsuki as the other sakura did the introduction for her show. to say she was ecstatic was an understatement. she had been waiting to go on this show for ages.

when sakura introduced the three other girls, they excitedly came up and introduced themselves individually. she was last in the row so introduced herself last.

"hi! i'm sakura of tomorrow x together!" before the older sakura could continue to the next segment, tsuki innocently spoke, "it's confusing because there's two sakura's." the other three laughed and sakura replied with "you can just call me suzuki."

sakura finished her opening segment and they enter red the glass house with what looked like an inflatable swimming pool.

the girls made eye contact when the instructor told them what they were doing. "with- with our bare hands?" suzuki asked, genuinely taken aback.

they took a long time to change but even before they went in, they danced to antifragile, we fresh, ring ma bell, and sugar rush ride.

the girl laughed at tsuki's scared expressions as she got in the water. "ah, cute!" she cooed, still laughing. she watched as sakura failed to catch one on her first try, mashiro as well.

feeling suddenly confident, she dipped her hand in the water and tried to grab a trout, but quickly brought her hands out and screamed. "what? what's wrong? what?" the three others repeated. she laughed, "i felt it in my hand!" the girls all joined in laughter, tsuki shuddering.

the girls tried for a very long time and continued to fail, eventually being given a net. sakura got one on the first try and they all celebrated, laughing at mashiro's attempt to grab it.

the girls all entered the strawberry field, reminiscing about japanese festivals. after learning how to correctly pick a strawberry, the group of four immediately got to work.

"wah, these taste so good," she exclaimed as they all took a bite. they got lost in the conversations about fruits in japan and korea, and she suddenly got really hungry.

"i was born in hiroshima but grew up in osaka," she replied after being asked. tsuki and the girl then excitedly screamed as a bonding experience. they, in sync, both acted like they were being shot after a staff member said "bbang!" the other two stared at them in shock. "you really do that?" mashiro asked, sakura looking at them both, bewildered.

as they seperated, the girl hummed to herself. "did you know that strawberries aren't actually a berry? they're a fruit," she explained to her camera, giggling. "really?" her cameraman asked, she nodded. "yeah! and banana's are actually berries."she then began to drone on and on about fruit while picking the strawberries, knowing they'd probably edit it out.

the girl had less than sakura but more than mashiro, and was not confident in the proverb quiz. she wasn't able to answer a single question, and put a shocked hand over her mouth when mashiro got the first two right.

she was even given an easy question, specifically for her, which she answered with "...sorry." the other three laughed at her, and she responded with "hey, at least one of us had to be stupid."

they all sat down in front of the many plates of food, amazed by how much there was. she stayed mostly silent unless she was asked a question. "i really like sangyeopsal," she answered after being asked what her favorited korean told was, but quickly added to it, "i think sangyeopsal restaurants are also why i love it so much."

"ah, really? why?" mashiro asked, and she explained, "i really like soju." the other three were silent for a moment and then laughed, as she embarrassed, laughed with them.

they quickly moved on to the next question "when did you feel you got used to living in korea?" she answered last, "i think i only got fully used to living here recently. the rest of txt and i were out drinking and i waited for someone at the table to pour my drink instead of pouring my own, for the first time since i've got here. i was like, woah, i did it."

"unnie, are you sure you don't like alcohol a little too much?" tsuki asked, and she replied with a loud laugh. "oh, yeah! all your answers have been about drinking," sakura added fuel to the fire. mashiro just sat, laughing at the other three.

sakura then told a story of breaking an elevator button, and the girl put her food down suddenly. "that was you?!" she laughed slightly, "yeah!" "i saw a button on the floor yesterday and i was like 'at least it wasn't me' because i push the button super hard as well!"

the four then moved on, exclaiming as they realized they all shared the trouble of mixing korean and japanese. as quickly as they moved to languages, they moved on to talking about winking.

mashiro and tsuki then began trying to teach sakura how to wink, as the girl just watched on the side. when sakura winked finally, they all excitedly screamed. "you're so close!"

they then began trying to mimic tsuki's facial expressions for gingamingayo,  everyone but said girl failing miserably. except for maybe mashiro, who was honestly pretty cute.

"why did you want to debut in korea?" after mashiro answered, the girl did as well. "bigbang was very popular in japan when i was growing up," sakura confirmed it, "i know right?" she smiled and continued, "so my friend dragged me along to one of their concerts and i just thought they were so cool and i wanted to be like them. and now, here i am. when she finished, the other two listened diligently as sakura and tsuki answered as well.

the episode ended as the girls promoted their groups and reflected on the day. "what did you think of today, sakura?" she was asked. "i had a lot of fun, it didn't feel like work at all. we should hang out more!"
