Bomi and Namjoo went to the supermarket to buy some things for chorongs celebration. As the others stayed to set up and cook.

As Bomi was walking through the aisle, she bumps into some familiar faces.

"Oh yes! I'm glad I bumped into you guys. Saves me some gas." She exclaimed
"What do you mean?" They wondered
"I was planning to go to your dorm to invite you to Chorong Eonni's birthday."
"Yay!" Yoon Sungjae yells
" please come, she'll be expecting you." Bomi pleads as she glances over Changsub.

Changsub breaks eye contact and stays quiet. Chorong didn't want to be friends with him anymore, it'll be so awkward.

Bomi and Namjoo return at the dorm. As they finished setting up. They knock on chorongs door pleading her to come out.

Still no answer, so they persisted to ask her to come out. After many tries, they finally got a response.

"Later..." Chorong muttered

The girls all yell in excitement waiting for her to come out. After minutes of waiting, the door finally opens.

"Happy Birthday!!" They sang holding the cake in front of her.

For the first time in a while, they saw their Eonni smile genuinely.

Then the front door opens as Btob members walk in.
"Happy Birthday!" They all greeted

Chorongs scans the room filled with people and notices someone's missing. Her frown slowly fades.
"Thank you" she says
"Chorong, Changsub couldn't make it. He was feeling sick." Minhyuk blurted

Chorong knew it was a lie because even if he was throwing up Changsub wouldve showed up. But he didn't because Chorong pushed him away for a guy who didn't deserve her. If only she knew sooner, Chorong would've never hurt her best friend.

Chorong renters her room as her members tried to stop her from leaving but she shuts the door before anyone else could say anything. Bomi runs out of the dorm leaving everyone in shock.

They all gather around and wait, it was all unexpected how things turned out. They were so close to making her happy again.

Bomi ran to her car and drove to a certain location. The river
The place where Changsub and Chorong would go when they wanted to escape together. She gets out of her car and confronts Changsub who is sitting on the rocks.

"Why?!" She yells
"I couldn't go to her, she left me." He says
" I know what happened, but I thought you would make her happy." She explains
"We all know that he makes her happier." Changsub denies.
"No, that's not true."
"You were our only chance to getting Chorongiee Eonni back, and this was the only chance that you would get your best friend back." She continues.
"Suho-ssi was selfish and didn't deserve Eonni, she was looking for you and only you. All those people were there, yet she was looking for you. She wants her bestfriend back and I know you want her back as well. So please! Help us get our loving sister back!" Bomi pleads.
