"Don't you get a fake vibe from her too?" Dalmi asked nonchalantly, still munching on her freshly baked muffins which Harin baked her a while ago. "Oh yeah, me too," Yerim added. After whatever sensual moments she and Minhyuk had shared the previous night, her hate for 'his obsession' had grown.

"Who even likes her besides Minhyuk?" It was Dalmi's latent anger/hate which was amusing to notice. It all rooted back to yesterday when during some conversation she had been brought up by Keiko.

"Where's Dal? I miss her I think," Jaehyun murmured, not wanting to attract attention but still managed to get a few eavesdrops. "Right between your knees," Keiko sat back, continuing drinking while the others stopped and looked at her in disbelief and surprise. Harin was the first to call her out, "She's barely an adult Keiko, can you not?" "Not like I said thighs, y'all really need to grow up and get a sense of humour." "If that's humour then I'd rather be the most boring person you ever come across," one fervid statement and Yerim left the lounge area that very instant.

"Honestly speaking Minhyuk would be the hottest man in here if he weren't acting like a slave," Yerim shrugged, the thought of him begging on his knees to Keiko probably just through her mind. "She's just mannerless," Dalmi went back to eating her muffin, the gloomy expression as if plastered on her face. "Aye Dal, don't waste your time on wannabes, you're so much more than all of this," Naeun bought a choco-chip cookie and lovingly put it in Dalmi's mouth. Dalmi nodded and ought not to talk ill, karma would get back to her.

[At first I found Keiko unique y'know when she walked in. As time passed, I think I see her as someone who's bold and intimidating, and am not sure if that's in a good way. Sure she's nice but her jokes are triggering and she often comes out as rude and insensitive.]

[Keiko, when I entered the love island, she tried to mock me by making fun of my name. From her first impression, I already did not like her. Also after observing her behaviour towards everyone I'd say she's a wannabe 'bitch boss'. Always pulling double meaning jokes at others, all I can say is that she just wants the tag of the 'villain of the show'. All she craves is footage and I'd rather not be associated with her from now on.]

["Keiko? I must say she's one bold and confident lady, which is one of the many things I appreciate about her. Ever since I've joined, Keiko has been nice to me, so I don't think I have anything negative to say about her attitude towards me, she's pretty too, and nice...at least to me. But yes, I've noticed this one thing which others say, and I kind of concur with them, that is, that she lacks control over tongue, which is true in some cases as well since I've myself seen her saying things which makes other people uncomfortable but hey, no one is perfect right? I must say I have seen development in her character if I compare her personality which I saw on day 1 and now, she has improved! I hope she continues because she's one confident and pretty lady. I would love to know more about her."]

"A li'l control over the tongue is necessary, some opinions shall be locked and kept inside since words do affect a person duh," Naeun said from behind the kitchen counter, facing Dalmi, Kura and Yerim. "If she hears us she'll say I can't change my personality for a bunch of people or something similar," Dalmi rolled her eyes. "What a tik tok comeback," Naeun joked and high fighed Yerim.

4PM LOUNGE AREA

"Hey Kai," Jieun, who had just sat to look through some of her books, came across Kai who was also brainstorming through maths questions, most probably. "Hey Jieun," he looked up for a split second and went back to solve her sudoku.

"Oh, I wanted to ask if you have a partner yet," she looked at him hopefully. Say no so I can shoot my chance, pretty please.

Earlier, that morning
