eve’s masterlist
“Ahhh, she’s so beautiful!” Chaeryeong exclaimed as they walked back to their green room.
She and Eve had their arms wrapped around each other’s waists, walking at a slower pace than their members.
“I know she's pretty. You’ve said that about twenty-six times now,” Eve teased and nudged Chaeryeong’s jaw with her nose, causing the younger girl to blush.
“She’s just so,” Chaeryeong paused to think of a word.
“Pretty?” Eve suggested with a smirk.
Chaeryeong playfully rolled her eyes. “Yes. Pretty.” She was going to say more, but was interrupted by Ryujin calling out to them.
“Yah! Grannys! What’s taking so long?” she asked from way ahead the girls.
“I can’t walk too fast with this one,” Chaeryeong used her right hand to point at Eve. “Because of her age.”
Eve's jaw dropped in disbelief as Ryujin laughed and continued walking. she stared at Chaeryeong with an expression that said you betrayed me.
“Wah. I expect this from Ryujin, maybe even Yuna, but not you, Chaer,” she removed her hand from Chaeryeong's waist and put it to her chest, ceasing to walk and leaning down. “My heart. It’s getting slower.”
Chaeryeong giggled and took Eve's hand in her own. “You know I didn’t mean that, unnie. It was just for show,” she said sincerely.
Eve stood up right and smiled at her. “Yeah. I just need to be dramatic every once in a while.” The two continued walking until they got to the green room. “Well done, everyone!” she cheered as she entered the room, going to sit on the couch nearest to the door.
“We did good today,” Chaeryeong said and sat close to Eve.
“Where are Ryujin and Yeji?” Eve asked her manager, Ari, noticing the members’ absence.
“They went to go meet the girls from aespa. They’re probably in their green room,” Ari answered.
“Ah.”
Eve got on her phone and went to her chats.

Eve told Tiffany where they were and then put her phone away and started talking with Chaeryeong, Lia and Yuna, who were sitting on the other couch facing the door. They had been talking for ten minutes when Lia and Yuna suddenly got quiet and stood up.
“Hello,” they both said, bowing 90 degrees. Eve didn’t have to turn around to know that it was Tiffany at the door, her group mates’ reactions were enough.
Eve and Chaeryeong also stood up and turned to face the door. Eve wished she could’ve seen Chaeryeong’s face when she saw Tiffany, but hearing her gasp was enough.
“H-hello,” Chaeryeong greeted shyly..
“Hello,” Tiffany responded and walked into the room. “I wanted to tell you guys that you did a great job today. Seriously.”
“Thank you,” they replied, still standing.
"You can sit down if you want to,” Tiffany motioned to the couches and the girls sat down.
“Unnie, you can sit here,” Eve patted the space between her and Chaeryeong, prompting Tiffany to walk over and sit there.
“Hello,” Chaeryeong said again.
“You’re so cute!” Tiffany exclaimed, causing Chaeryeong to blush and cover her face.
“Chaeryeong is a big fan of Girls Generation,” Lia said, fidgeting with her skirt.
“Really?” Tiffany asked, pretending she didn’t already know that.
“Yes, she said she wanted to become an idol after watching one of your performances or music videos, I can’t remember,” Yuna said.
“Wow! Like wow! Thank you for being a fan,” Tiffany bowed to Chaeryeong.
“It’s no problem. You really inspire me and motivate me when I need it,” Chaeryeong said sincerely.
“Ah, that’s so sweet.” Tiffany pouted. “All of the members love you, by the way.”
“Me?” Chaeryeong asked and pointed at herself, clearly shocked.
“Yes. I remember when Yoona met you and gave you albums, she told the group chat and everybody was jealous of her,” Tiffany explained.
Chaeryeong looked at her members with a dazed expression on her face, the girls looking back at her with proud smiles on their faces.
“Daebak!” Chaeryeong exclaimed.
“Ah, you’re so cute!” Tiffany exclaimed then looked at her phone as it started vibrating. “I have to go now, but I hope you guys continue to do well. Know that I am cheering you on. Fighting!” Tiffany stood, the four younger girls standing up as well. She gave each of the girls a hug before leaving the room, sending them one last smile and wave.
The girls all sat down. All except Chaeryeong. She seemed to be frozen in her standing position, along with her hands that were stuck mid wave, eyes wide open, face expressionless.
“Should we nudge her or something?” Yuna asked her two older members.
“Let’s give her time to process what just happened,” Eve suggested, already busy on her phone again, and Yuna nodded slowly.
“I wonder how long she’ll be like that,” Lia said to no one in particular, leaning back into the couch and putting her hand to her chin.
“Five minutes, maximum,” Eve said without looking up.

“Wanna bet?” Lia smirked.
“No, I do n–”
“What the fuck just happened?” Chaeryeong exclaimed.
