Seulgi shrugged and then glanced at Irene up ahead, whispering with Jennie as they walked. She coughed a few times and dragged Lisa back as she said in a hushed voice, "It's nothing."

Lisa felt goosebumps forming on her arm and she stared stupidly at Seulgi, "I know we have a good relationship but you don't have to use that tone with me," then she added shyly, "My wife is right in front of us."

Seulgi only rolled her eyes.

Irene was listening intently, trying to hear what they were saying. She feared that bad guy, Seulgi, would say something shameful about her.

Although her love for her senpai was one of a fangirl chasing her idol, she didn't actually 'love' her senpai. Besides, Jennie is her dearest cousin. She would never do something to steal Lisa away from her.

Jennie stretched her sore muscles as she glanced back at Lisa and Seulgi who were still muttering something to each other. They had stopped for a break, but the two people behind them were still slowly walking towards them. She had seen Seulgi many times now and had a good grasp of her character. She knew that Seulgi is a very dependable and mature person, although maybe it's because she had never seen Seulgi's childish side yet. However, Jennie knew that Seulgi was also a very cold-hearted person. Not that Seulgi was cruel or anything, but that she didn't let many into her heart and alienated everyone who tried to get close to her. In fact, this made Jennie quite curious. Just how did someone like Lisa become best friends with someone like Seulgi?

"Irene, what is going on between you and Seulgi? I know Seulgi is not the type of person who likes to tease others." Even someone as dense as Jennie could tell that their relationship was not normal. She took a sip of her water, the taste somewhat sweet. She remembered that Lisa had put some rose petals into her water this morning and now her water tasted super refreshing.

Irene didn't get a chance to answer before the two people behind them had caught up. Lisa looked over at Jennie and made a beeline towards her, her face lighting up with joy. Seulgi only shrugged helplessly and found a random stone to sit on, with her hands resting on her knees.

Seeing Lisa's expression, she understood that she and Jennie had something to discuss. Not wanting to be the bothersome third wheel, she could only make her way towards Seulgi. She really didn't want to, but since Seulgi is Lisa's best friend, she couldn't be that bad, right?

So she walked over reluctantly. Seulgi's head turned towards the sound but didn't look up. It seemed like she had expected that Irene would walk over to her.

Irene also found a stone and sat down a little further away. Her eyes wandered over the scenery, but it was only big chunks of rock after rock. After staring at rocks for so long, she no longer felt the scenery was as beautiful as when she first started the climb.

Unexpectedly, the two sat together quietly and painted a harmonious picture. Irene idly thought to herself that as long as Seulgi doesn't try to tease her again, she can naturally treat the other as a friend.

Meanwhile, Lisa approached Jennie like a dog seeing their owner. One could almost see a tail wagging behind her as she massaged Jennie's shoulders. She then whispered with a smile, "My mother said that rose water helps alleviate menstrual pain."

Jennie was already a little embarrassed at receiving a message from her and became even more embarrassed at Lisa's words. Previously, she didn't like Lisa and didn't care what Mother Manoban thought of her. However, now she regards Mother Manoban as her own mother and so naturally wants Mother Manoban to have a good impression of her. She felt incredibly uncomfortable and awkward knowing that Mother Manoban was privy to her 'stomach troubles.'
