"The hyung line? They are the friendly people line," Eunbyul commented, checking her camera to see if she was being recorded properly. She looked down at the set of question the staff sent her, wanting her to answer them on camera. "But if I were to answer playfully, they could also be the coward line."

"Because it's Hyunsuk-oppa, Jihoon-oppa, Junkyu-oppa and Jaehyuk-oppa, right? Those four are scaredy-cats — not the biggest ones, but still scaredy-cats." She laughed to herself, excited to plan the T-MAP content for them while she was on vacation in Japan. "To our scaredy-cat oppas, I have some interesting activities."

Eunbyul looked at the camera, fixing her hair as she spoke. "I was thinking of indoor skydiving and maybe para-gliding," she suggested, just as she had discussed with her manager. "I actually thought a 'swimming with the sharks' kind of scene, but Manager-oppa denied the suggestion since Hyunsuk-oppa could die from a heart attack."

"Paragliding is alright, and indoor skydiving is totally harmless, but I know they are going to be scared. And at least one of them is going to cry at one point." Eunbyul held back a laugh, trying to end the shot with no retakes. "All the best, oppas! I hope you have the strength to endure the activities I have suggested for you guys. Fighting!"

The female ended the clip, rewatching it a few times before sending it to her manager as they had to include it in the T-MAP episode. The boys didn't even know what the plan was for them, but Eunbyul couldn't wait to see their reactions for when they found out.

══ ⋆★⋆ ══

Manager Park connected to Eunbyul through a video call, updating the youngest female member of TREASURE with how the 'coward' line was doing the activities she planned for them. Just as she had expected, Jaehyuk cried a bit after the skydiving experience, overwhelmed by the many emotions he felt. Hyunsuk was more confident than she had guessed, but she knew it was only because it was indoors and not the actual skydiving.

Now if that were the case, you best bet it's going to end with the boys rushing to the hospital with cardiac arrests.

Eunbyul watched them for the entire day, surprised at the revelations at the end of the day. They gave the boys a chance to call a member after their last content-mission, to which everyone collectively chose the female.

Of course, it seemed that the boys really missed their youngest who was vacationing in Japan. But, no. That wasn't the case. The boys — aka 'coward' line — knew it was Eunbyul who planned their content for the day. And they just wanted to have a chat with her.

"Yah, Park Eunbyul!" Jihoon scolded as soon as the youngest answered the video call, startling her. "What do you think you are doing?!"

"Who do you think you are?! Testing us like that!" Jaehyuk added, grumbling under his breath when the female laughed at their reactions.

She pouted, feeling bad as she got scolded. "But this kind of content gets a lot of views, so that's why I ..." Eunbyul trailed off, hurt by their stern words. "... I didn't think you guys wouldn't be able to handle it."

The four males immediately stopped once they saw the look on her face, feeling bad for scolding her. Eunbyul genuinely thought about the views as she decided the activities — the fact that it messed with them was just a bonus point. Hyunsuk — being the one with comforting words — stepped forward, assuring the youngest that she did nothing wrong. However, Eunbyul felt terrible.

She had seen how the boys were throughout the day while they did their activities, so she saw their reactions live. She saw how terrified they were at certain instances, and only when they scolded her did she realize how heartless she was as she decided the content for them.

"I'm sorry, oppas. I should've been more considerate."

Hyunsuk shook his head, smiling softly at the female through the screen. "It's alright, we are doing great, right? Besides, with the activities you suggested for us, I think I could get rid of my fear for heights and other stuff as well." He maintained eye-contact with Eunbyul, wordlessly assuring her. "So, that's a good thing, yeah?"

"We were scared, but we actually liked it once we did it. If we kept hesitating, we wouldn't be able to do it. Thanks to you, we could try out some new things and clear that hesitation," Junkyu spoke, lifting the younger's words with his motivating words.

"You guys are the nicest. When I come back, maybe we try some other extreme activities! Since Hyunsuk-oppa has gotten rid of the scaredy-cat-Hyunsuk, maybe we try a swimming with the sharks experience."

"Byul-ah, just because we forgave you for giving us heart attacks doesn't mean you can go around repeating your actions."
