It has now been a week since Sakura and Dani last spoke. Despite what one might expect, there was no awkwardness between the two girls. It was almost as though nothing had ever happened. This made Dani feel extremely nauseous.

On the night of their conversation, Dani waited anxiously for Sakura to return home. She couldn't help but wonder where Sakura had been, where she had slept, and if she had eaten. These are the types of thoughts that someone in a relationship worries about.

Dani let out a sigh. It was much harder than she had anticipated to control her feelings for Sakura.

She keeps reminding herself that this was for them kept reminding herself this was all for them.

...

"DANI-UNNIE!" Eunchae yelled.

Dani was shaken out of her thoughts. "Uh...What?" Dan-bi became frazzled. She blinked a few times to try and get her barrings. She looked at Eunchae. "Sorry, Manchae. What were you saying?" She gave the youngest an apologetic smile.

They were in the practice room. They only had a couple of days left until their comeback show.

"Unnie~" Eunchae pouted. "Were you not listening?"

Dani shook her head.

Eunchae sighed with frustration. "What will we do for Chaewonnie and Kazuha-Unnie's birthday?" She asks.

Dani's eyes widen. "Omo, I completely forgot!" Then she got into her thinking pose. "Since we will be busy with our schedule, we won't have time to celebrate separately...So..let's have a surprise party for both of them!" Dani said with a slight smile.

Eunchae smiled. "Unnie, that's a great idea!"

"It doesn't have to be a big party, just some of their close friends and family," Dani explained.

"Are you going to fly the Kazuha-Unnie family here to Korea?" Eunchae ask

"I mean, she hasn't seen them in a year. I think it would be a nice surprise." She mumbled.

Eunchae smiled. "I knew I could count on you!" She gave Dani a big hug.

"Yeah, it's no big deal." She smiles

...

After Eunchae's self-proclaimed top-secret meeting, Dani had to drag her feet to another meeting with the producer. She walks through the conference room door and wonders what it's like to be a doctor instead of an idol.

...

When the girls got home, everyone got into their usual routine. Dani started cooking dinner while the rest of the members washed up from the day or sat with Dani while she cooked.

Today, Yun-jin decided to sit with her.

"Unnie~ When is dinner ready?" She asks as she puts her head on the counter.

Dani rolled her eyes. "As soon as the oven beeps." She sighed. "How about you watch the timer, and I'll gather everyone for dinner, okay?" She asks, "It should be done very soon."

She found all the members doing their own thing, and the only room left was Sakura. Great...

She knocked on the door.

"Kkura-Unnie, can I come in?" She asks quietly.

"Sure, Dani!" She heard Sakura say, and she went into the room. She noticed that Sakura was lying in her bed playing her switch. She stood awkwardly in the doorway.

Sakura paused her game and looked up at Dani. "What's up?"

"Well...um...I just wanted to let you know-" Dani started, but Sakura interrupted.
