    Summary

    Best friends don’t spend two years dancing around each other like that; best friends don’t grab each other by the hips and spin them against the wall and get jealous over other people and not talk about it. Nayeon did not have the courage to interrogate this openly. But the volcanic force of her emotions had made everything feel so vivid and real. And she had thought: maybe.

    Summary

    Really, Chaeryeong thinks, making brief eye contact with the embarrassed-looking driver through the tinted window, they’ve got it all wrong. It wasn’t the lack of albums, or the sparse touring, or the mistimed hiatus that tore through the group in the end. Five members meant five different directions, after all, each with its own gravitational force of desire and need. Yuna refused to speak to Jisu for a week after she sat them all down and told them she was leaving ITZY for good. Yeji had been slated to debut as a soloist first, but was then passed over after longer complications with her injury. Ryujin got the better song, but in a stroke of random luck Yuna’s went so viral that it propelled her into stardom with the general public.

    And as for Chaeryeong —

    Summary

    Chaeyeon, with a scalpel-like meanness that could only come from a sibling, had called her a coward. Maybe that’s what Ryujin had recognized in her, in the end.

    “We just weren’t that compatible,” Chaeryeong says, with a half-shrug and a half-smile, like she was telling an old joke. “There’s not that much to the story.”

    Summary

    The problem—and Yizhuo recognizes this to be a real fucking problem for both her sanity and their standing in the championship—is that Ryujin knows how to read her too.

    Summary

    Anyone else and Chaeryeong would’ve hexed them to the North Sea for that. But it’s just Ryujin, stupid and tactless and boyish and decidedly un-Slytherin, and privately Chaeryeong likes being at the receiving end of this kind of easy ribbing, where a joke is a joke and not a scathing critique wrapped in twelve layers of small talk.

    Summary

    Standing by the threshold, three inches taller and hair two shades lighter than the last time Amanda had seen her, was Lily Reynolds, carrying a handbag and a pair of sunglasses and a book, and curiously dressed in an all-white tennis ensemble, like she’d been plucked straight out of the country club before magically appearing at Amanda’s doorstep.

    Lily smiled. “I thought it would be nice if we could hang out.”

    Summary

    There in the garden, shielding her eyes with a gloved hand, Heedo raised her head to the sky and thought, Is this the rest of it, then? The weight of it felt unbearable. Is it true? Has the best part of my life come to pass?

    Summary

    Perhaps she still hasn’t learned how to conceal her emotions, after all this time. Or maybe that was just Bori’s innate attribute. To have one person in the world who knows you by heart is both a blessing and a curse.

    Summary

    It would be so easy to ask why. But Chaeryeong is also the kind of person who will avoid any sort of conversation that might spiral into an emotional confrontation, and anyway, it’s easier to make guesses in her head.

    Summary

    Ava’s always bleeding.

    “I’ve never broken my nose before.” Ava sounds bewilderingly delighted about it. Her nose is crooked and there’s blood running down her teeth. Her tongue pokes out to swipe along her lips, marveling at the taste, the chapped skin of her mouth, and it should be disgusting, this primal display of her wound, but there’s something wondrous about the way Ava does it, something Beatrice can’t shape into words as of yet – it’s unbecoming, but not unsettling, and Beatrice just watches as Ava heeds her instructions and breathes noisily through her mouth.

    Summary

    Twilight Shimmer down. Pieces of her drifting in the open sea, fates forever tied to the rusting grip of seawater and the beating hot sun. Jinsol pictures the body sinking to the graveyard, the muted clang as her remains rest atop her predecessors: Chekhov Barrel from last month, lost to a sea Kaiju dragging it down past the crush depth; Techno Misfit five months before that, its pilots torn out of the Conn-Pod two minutes into deployment; Retro Dynamite, loss of control due to a fatal Pons malfunction; and before that, before —

    Summary

    Sooyoung turns once, flashes a smile, or a smirk, heavenly just the same. Calliste, Aidoios Parthenos, Agrotera, far-shooter, Leto-born. Epithets flow past Jinsol’s lips in holy prayer, enough ambrosia to power a hero, but none strong enough to convince a goddess to tame the arc of her feet. Still, the path before them lies straight as an arrow; all Jinsol has to do is follow the shadow of Sooyoung’s footsteps, each dotting the road to the north star.

    It’s nice like this, existing in the safe, quiet bubble of your best friend.
