The surroundings were dark. It wasn't black but dark. All one can do was wait and feel. Humans are not scared of the dark. But what is inside the dark.

Leia noticed that she was alone and she, was scared.

"Hello?" Leia called out in fear.

She suddenly felt that there was something climbing up her legs. When she looked down, she screamed loudly upon seeing a snake with a face of a human. As if the face was smashed and everything was all over the face. It was not a nice sight.

She shook it off before running as fast as she could and she was accompanied by a floating figure who was laughing in a frightening way.

She cried and screamed while flapping her arms to shoo the figure away but she screamed more when she felt her body was grabbed tightly and shaken by the figure who was currently, laughing in her face.

"LEIA!"

As soon as she heard her name was called, she opened her eyes and saw the members were in her room, looking at her with worriedness in their eyes. Taeil was in front of her, looking at her.

"You were screaming loudly and crying. Nightmare again?" Taeil asked her.

Leia sigh as tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Can someone get warm water for her. She's shaking," Taeil asked one of the members.

"I'll get it," Jungwoo said before rushing out of her bedroom.

"Come on, sit up." Taeil pulled her up.

Leia sat up and exhaled. What happened in her dreams still lingers in her mind till now. It was a horror experience for her that makes her traumatize to sleep.

"This has been going on for weeks, Lili... I think you need to go to therapist." Yuta said to her.

"I don't know. I don't know what to do. I've lost my mind because of this. I'm tired and I can't think right anymore." Leia said softly before taking her hair clip on her nightstand and clipping her hair neatly.

"Hey, you really need a break. Out of all of us, you are the most affected one right now. You're sick, mentally. I'm scared that if we just leave you like this, it's gonna get worst," Mark said. "If your stress is not shaken off, with time, you'll really lose your mind and that time, it's gonna take more time to get you back on your feet. Your mental is disturbed by a lot of things that you yourself can't list how much. And those mental disturbances, it disturbs your physical too. Like now, you cannot get sleep because your mental is playing with you."

Jungwoo entered the room with a glass of warm water and handed it to Leia who drinks it little by little.

"After the New Year's Live, you should take a hiatus." Jaehyun said.

"What about the comebacks? Our schedules?" Leia asked them softly.

"Leia, forget about it. It doesn't matter anymore. Your health is what matters right now," they said to her.

Leia sighed and nodded. She glanced at the clock and it shows 4:20 am. They still have about 2 hours before they need to wake up and get to work for the day. Leia took her phone from the nightstand and open the app that was monitoring her sleep. She wore a smart bracelet to monitor her sleep.

"How many hours did you sleep tonight?" Taeil asked.

Leia shook her head and showed them the sleeping log. 2 hours. She was tossing and turning for hours on the bed, couldn't sleep because her mind was still really active. In the end, she could only sleep at 2 am just now.

"You're really gonna need to meet a therapist. I'm worried that you're gonna have health problem if you continue to have trouble sleeping like this," Yuta said while sitting on Leia's bad.

"Yeah, I'm really worried about you too," Taeil said.

"We're gonna need to talk to the manager about this. Give her a hiatus starting next year," Mark said, agreeing to the older member's suggestion.

Leia just kept silent and keep her head low. It's like she's drunk. She's drunk and exhausted. Drunk because she couldn't think straight anymore and it's a very difficult thing. Exhausted because she barely slept in these few days and if this continues, she has high risk of getting heart attack even at a very young age.

She's just 23 years old.
