 The girls are sound asleep after the night of partying and drinking. After a long day of battling their nightmares and escaping the crystal, they felt that they deserve to enjoy their lives and get wasted to forget what happened in their never-ending nightmares. Except Minji.

 Minji looked at her members with a soft smile, especially the one currently sleeping with her head on her lap. Yoohyeon's alcohol tolerance has always been low, so she was naturally the first to pass out. Minji couldn't help but watch her sleep peacefully as her heart aches, knowing she doesn't have long to spend time with all of them.

Minji glanced at the clock on the wall, its hands telling her that it's 5 minutes till midnight. 5 minutes until it is her turn to take their place. A deal she made to get them out of the crystal safely.

"They're going to feel confused and hurt," the voice in her mind said.

"They'll understand," she shakily exhaled.


[4 minutes]

 Minji gently lifted Yoohyeon's head out of her lap and replaced her thighs with a pillow to cushion her head.

Yoohyeon started to stir. "Hnng where are you going?" she whined.

"Shh, it's okay. I'll be right back." Minji whispered, with a solemn smile on her face.

"Mmm be quick okay," Yoohyeon fell asleep again.

[1 minute]

 Minji softly kissed her forehead whilst running her hand through Yoohyeon's hair. As she ran her hand, her hands started to disappear, like purple ashes being blown by the wind. And within seconds, Minji was gone.
