"Sana, you ever check that message?" A gentle voice echoed throughout the room. "I never got the chance to, I guess," Sana responded softly, minding the time of night they were talking at. It was past 12 in the morning and all the girls were sleeping. Well, mostly all of them.

"Maybe now's the time..?" Momo asked hesitantly. The younger of the two just nodded as she went and grabbed her phone from the nightstand. The message was still there, lingering on her phone. She opened to the text and a face of confusion was plastered on her face. "What's with the face?" Momo laughed as she made her way over to Sana.

UN: "I'll have you know I'm not powerless. Just.. waiting."

The two looked at each other with both confusion and fright as Momo took a seat next to Sana. "Who would've sent this? Let alone have your number?" She asked. Sana just shook her head and pushed herself into Momo's arms, being comforted almost instantly.

"It's probably one of the boys messing with you," Momo suggested, soothing Sana as she sighed heavily. "Yeah, I hope that it's the guys doing this. For once." The older girl chuckled and propped Sana under her sheets. "That's the first," she said as she pulled the fabric up to her collarbone. "Goodnight, Sana." Before she could leave, she heard rustling behind her. Momo turned to see Sana sitting upright in her bed, a silent plea for her to stay being shared between them.

She smiled and made her way over to the bed and put herself underneath the covers next to the girl. Sana felt the warmth come closer to her as a pair of arms draped around her, pulling her in. "Just relax now. It'll be better tomorrow, hmm? Don't be scared," the older girl said. A hand started raking itself through her hair so soothingly that she could barely comprehend what Momo said to her before she fell asleep in her arms.

Jihyo walked through the front doors of the school, immediately earning glances from every student she passed. The way they looked at her with curious but eerie eyes made her feel exposed. She saw Nayeon closing her locker and walked quicker to meet up with her, linking their arms together.

"Hey, do you know what's going on?" Jihyo asked, her voice slightly higher than it usually was due to how frightened she felt. "No, is there something I should know?" Nayeon questioned back. The younger girl shrugged and held Nayeon's arm tighter when the flares started getting more intense. Was there something she should know? How could she tell her if she alone didn't have a clue as to what she did to deserve these stares. Did she hurt someone? Miss a club meeting? The reason could really be anything, but she decides to put them aside as she entered her first class for the day.

As the girl entered the room, every face turned to look at her with different expressions ranging from confusion to anger on them. Thankfully, Chaeyoung happened to be in that class and she motioned for Jihyo to come and sit at the desk next to her. While being stared at, she took a seat and hesitantly started taking out her stuff. The students were still looking at her, and Chaeyoung was having none of it.

"What are you all looking at, huh?" She snapped louder than she expected. They all fumbled in their seats and turned to the board filled with morning notes. "Thank you, Chaeyoungie," Jihyo whispered, seeing the girl nod slightly from the corner of eye. "Do you know what's happening?"

Going by the way Chaeyoung said that question, she didn't want to know what all the looks were about; of course, she hoped it was nothing extreme but she didn't want to hurt herself or anyone else for that matter. She looked at the girl, silently asking for an answer.

"Well, a picture of you and Sana was leaked," she started. Jihyo's eyes went wide as she listened to Chaeyoung continue on. "You two on the rooftop, kissing. It's everywhere." Jihyo couldn't believe her ears; those roof doors make noise when they open, and a pretty loud one at that. There's no windows up there, too. How could anyone have seen them up there like that and take those photos?
