DY: look at this, it’s taehee and mark. (he shows a picture of them doing peace signs while taehee was winking)

TN: oh cute!

MK: yooo... we were like what? 15?

TN: you guys look cute together.

MK: what?! (laughs)

TN: (nervously chuckling) no, i meant— (laughs) i meant like you guys look cute and were always together.

MK: (still laughing)

TN: i don’t know why my brain did a shortcut but you guys were always together.

TN: like whenever i’d see mark, taehee’s somewhere there too. “have you seen taehee? oh never mind, mark is here.”

DY: right!

TN: you guys are very.... like best friends.

MK: yeah, from the very start. ever since day one.

DY: (laughing) YOU GUYS, LOOK AT THIS. (he shows another predebut picture — 15 year-old taehee with pigtails, her brows furrowed as she side-eyed someone with her lips into an angry pout) (mark and ten laugh)

MK: she’s so cute!

TN: who made her mad? hyung, why was taehee like that?

DY: i think this was when taeyong hyung suggested to tie her hair like that and everyone started calling her ‘boo’ from that movie.

MK: monsters inc.

DY: that one. so she started acting like a toddler as a joke. (chuckles)

TN: i remember when like, they told us taehee would be debuting with us.

MK: yeah?

TN: i remember in my mind, i was like, “woah— wait, what?”

MK: but it was like good though, like—

TN: yeah, it was like a good surprise.

DY: taehee was supposed to debut in a girl group, right? wah... i still remember the first time we all practiced together.

TN: i remember how cool she looked when she danced, but like in my eyes, she’s still a baby, you know? (mark and doyoung laugh)

TN: like (he puts on a fierce expression) she looks cool with her facial expressions and stuff but like, she’s still a cute baby.

MK: (teasing) ohhh~ ten.

TN: (monotonously) don’t tell her i said that.

MK: but dude, you didn’t like, change at all.

TN: are you saying i looked old before—

MK: no! no, no like, you look young.

TN: (grinning) but you and taehee— you guys were like babies.

MK: (chuckles)

TN: but now you’re sexy.

MK: .....excuse me? excuse me, what?

DY: oh!

MK: ten, look who’s here!

TH: are you guys facetiming? what’s going on?

TH: oh wow! hello! (she waves her hand)

TN: hi taehee!

MK: were you in the studio?

TH: ...no (she shakes her head, before gesturing to doyoung) i was in their dorm.

MK: oh i thought you were in the studio!

TH: oh dude, wait no. (giggles) i meant i showered in their dorm.

TN: taehee, how old are you again? like haechan?

TN: OHH HAHAHAHA (laughter dies down into soft chuckles) i thought you were their age.

MK: five more days and she will be. (he says this the same time as taehee’s, “five more days and i will be.”)

TH: i’m gonna go now.

DY: haechan’s waiting for you? (mark looks at taehee while she nods)

MK: okay, well— everyone.. so joanie’s gonna go now.
