[Third Person P.O.V.]
"Alright, everybody wake up!" the girl with big eyes appeared.
"We're here, Jihyo!" the group said in unison.
Then, Sana and Momo spoke, "No status report, Jihyo."
Jihyo nodded at them. The group went to the dining to prepare for their breakfast. Meanwhile, Tzuyu is still tied up on her chair. She looked at everyone and observed their aura of "secret agency"-ness. She's actually dumbfounded, not knowing what's really happening inside that warehouse. Just then, Mina went in to join their breakfast. Tzuyu's eyes were locked on her as she thought to herself all the things she'd want to say to her.
After the group's breakfast session, Nayeon began cleaning up the dining. Mina stood up from her seat until she finally got to look at the tied-up girl once again. She just stared at the struggling Tzuyu with sympathy. Not so long after, Tzuyu also looked at Mina, but now with despair. Unfortunately, Jihyo had commanded Mina to return back to her room. Without a single word, she followed with Tzuyu still looking at her.
'A lady of few words,' Tzuyu thought.

Evening came and Tzuyu just got up from her nap. She was actually starting to get hungry being tied up for a whole day.
Footsteps were heard toward her. There appeared Dahyun and Chaeyoung holding something. They knelt down in front of the tall girl and happily offered the plate of the food they just ate in their dinner. Tzuyu just looked at them puzzled because... why would they suddenly offer help, right?
"It's not poisoned, silly," Dahyun chuckled. Tzuyu accepted their food and then she was being fed by the two ladies.
"I'm Dahyun, by the way," the pale skinned girl said. "And this is Chaeyoung."
"Based from the information we got from your phone, which by the way you should have put a password in it, we're actually almost the same age," Chaeyoung smiled. "...Tzuyu."
"Why check my phone?," she asked.
"Why wouldn't we? You came here out of the blue and you decided not to tell us the reason. So of course, we suspected you were a spy," Dahyun informed.
Tzuyu's eyes were enlarged after hearing that. "Spy? What do you mean spy? What is up with you and this place?"
The two girls in front of her just looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Tzuyu, there are things that we are not allowed to say at all," Chaeyoung said.
"Why?"
"Let's just say we're keeping ourselves lowkey," Dahyun replied as she fed the tall girl another mouthful.
As Tzuyu was chewing, Mina was peeking by the wall where she first saw her. She sighed in relief knowing she was going to be okay. Then she went back to her room to use her computer.
She scrolled through her files until she went on the internet. Without any hesitation, she typed in Tzuyu's whole name to gather information of her. To her surprise, she is actually clean. The results were all just her facebook account and her videos dancing or singing. Mina clicked her facebook page and took the advantage to stalk at least some of her public photos and posts.
'Weird,' she thought. 'Her last post was a year ago.'

November 19, 2018
"Can I ever live my life to the fullest?"
///
With that just one sentence, she was confused. She did not know how to interpret the statement. Was she going through something? Did something happen after the day she posted that? Why has it been a year? All these questions rattled Mina's mind. She then went to her albums of photos, but alas, all she can ever see is her two profile photos.
One, a picture of her walking in a city but her back's facing the camera.
Two, a picture of her with her parents.
Once again, she got confused. Although that is so, Mina just shrugged it off because she doesn't have the right to question Tzuyu's privacy management.
But... she is damn curious. And with just those few posts, Mina wanted to get to know Tzuyu more.
Meanwhile, the three youngsters are having quite a decent conversation. They're just getting to know each other better.
"You know Tzuyu, you're actually cool to talk to," Dahyun smiled and Tzuyu smiled back.
"You two are cool, too."
"Sadly, we actually need to get to bed because Jihyo keeps a strict wake-up schedule; but we'll talk again tomorrow!"
"Really?," Tzuyu's eyes were filled with excitement.
"Of course, silly," Chaeyoung patted Tzuyu's head. "Now get some rest... err-... at least try to."
"I will. You two have a goodnight rest. Thank you for tonight," Tzuyu beamed at them.
Chaeyoung and Dahyun went to their room. Then, the short girl broke the ice, "I guess Tzuyu's really nice after all."
"Yeah, I don't think she slipped or anything. She seemed innocently... innocent," Dahyun agreed.
They all went to their beds with Dahyun's and Chaeyoung's are beside each other. Chaeyoung's being the farthest from the door. Momo beside Dahyun. Sana beside Momo. And on the opposite side, Nayeon being opposite of Chaeyoung. Jeongyeon beside Nayeon. And Jihyo beside Jeongyeon; her being closest to the door.
"I really do hope Jihyo-unnie's wrong about her," Chaeyoung whispered.
"I hope so, too. Goodnight Chaeng."
"Goodnight."

Morning came and all Tzuyu was thinking about was the happenings last night. She never thought she could make friends with those who kidnapped her in the first place. She found it funny yet very amazing. Then again, she also thought about the sight where she slightly saw Mina observing them that night. She smiled
'Thought I didn't see you, huh?,' Tzuyu smirked to herself.
She's the earliest one to wake up. At the moment, she's also thinking about their room assignments.
"How come that quiet girl is separated from the other girls?," Tzuyu muttered curiously. She badly wanted to know what was happening and also wanted to get to know that quiet girl who, in fact, she still doesn't know the name of.
Finally, Jihyo came out of the room along with the other girls who were still drowsy.
"Alright, alright," Jihyo coughed and faced Tzuyu, "Since you are already here and we're not letting you go that easily, might as well introduce ourselves. Disclaimer, this was Nayeon's idea."
"BECAUSE! It's important that you'd know our names in case that you know us and come to stick by our side," Nayeon said enthusiastically.
"Excuse me? I doubt she'd ever want to team up with her kidnappers. Plus, she still might be a spy!," Jihyo retorted.
"Now, now, Miss Leader. I said 'in case'. We still haven't got any negative information about her so why can't we try recruiting her?"
"That's exactly the point! We haven't got anything especially from her!-"
"Okay, back it up you two," Sana stepped in between them. "We woke up to introduce ourselves, not to fight, okay?"
All the girls, except for Mina since she's not in the room at that moment, nodded in agreement.
"Tzuyu, my name is Sana," she small smiled at the tall girl who was growing confused by all the bickering. "Those two, you probably already know. Jihyo, the leader, and Nayeon, the eldest among us.
This is Jeongyeon," Sana continued the introduction by pointing at each of them. "She's the 'heavylifter' in this group. In other words, our bodyguard in all ways.
And this," she pointed to the girl with brown hair and bangs. "Is Momo. She's our lookout, and she works alongside me.
The two youngest are Dahyun, the tofu colored, and Chaeyoung, our baby cub," Tzuyu smirked since she already knew who they are. The two young ones waved at them.
She was actually waiting for the last introduction.
Then, she finally stepped out. Looking effortlessly pretty even when she's still sleepy, Tzuyu's eyes went in awe.
"And that's Mina."
She internally smiled since she finally knew her name. Even she doesn't know why she's getting that much excitement from her only, but she's guessing it's all about "taste".
Sana approached Mina and gently pulled her closer to Tzuyu. She put her hand on her shoulder and described her, "Mina's our brain. Though she's speechless, she's very intelligent. Basically, she hands most of the computer work and mostly the strategi-"
Her words slurred as Jeongyeon's, Jihyo's, and Nayeon's hands covered her mouth. Momo hushed Sana.
"I think that's about enough introduction for today," Momo nervously laughed.
"Nice to meet you, all," Tzuyu smiled at them. The girls grew puzzled by her response. In their thoughts, they were thinking why was she being nice. They proceeded to the dining area where they went to eat breakfast.
Even though Tzuyu was still a bit baffled by the introduction, at least she got to know Mina's name. She's genuinely happy that maybe from that introduction of the group, they might start warming up to her.
And with Mina's eyes of concern, Tzuyu had hope. She knows it.
"Mina..." Tzuyu smiled.
