                    HER WHOLE body ached from the night before. She hadn't told anyone about the dark bruises littering her hips and thighs. She wore a pair of baggy sweatpants and a long sleeved shirt, her curly locks tied up in a messy bun. She waddled into the dance room and tossed her bag to the side. "It's about time you showed up! Are you hungover?" Soyeon joked, her hands fitted against her hips. Sunny pouted, her cheeks flushing. "A little bit," she giggled. Soojin stretched out her arms, her eyebrows furrowed as she watched the girl lower herself onto the floor. Sunny pulled out a pair of sneakers and began lacing them up after putting them on. "Are you okay, angel?" Minnie asked upon noticing the way Sunny winced when she moved.

A deep shade of red overtook her features as she blushed. She pulled herself off the floor. "Um, yeah, I'm okay," she replied shyly. She swiped her baby hairs from her face nervously. "I just... something special happened last night." Soojin halted her movements and turned around from the mirror to face the flustered girl. Before Sunny could speak, the bathroom door opened, revealing a very tired looking Eunjeong. "Good morning, Sunny," the girl yawned, stretching her arms over her head. Sunny chuckled at the girl's appearance. The Park sibling wasn't the only one who had gotten drunk the night before. "What happened?" Miyeon asked, returning the attention back onto the still blushing Sunny. She drew in a deep breath and held it within her cheeks, her hands falling against her thighs.

"You're angel may or may not have lost something last night," she teased. Soyeon crossed her arms over her chest with a narrowed glance. "Cut to the chase, honey. We don't have all day." A school girl like giggle slipped past Sunny's lips as she bounced on her toes. "Junhui spent the night!" Soojin's eyes widened at Sunny's confession. Miyeon gasped and covered her mouth. Minnie was the only one who raced toward the girl and took her into her arms. "Are you sure that was the right thing to do?" Soyeon questioned with an uneasy frown. Sunny looked confusedly at their leader, her lips falling into a pout. "You just started dating, angel. Maybe you should have waited." Minnie turned to look at Soyeon. Of course, that was what all of the girls were thinking. Only Eunnie, though, knew that Sunny was a virgin.

          "You weren't even sure that you liked him the day before," Soojin added, placing her hands on her hips. Sunny began to wring her fingers out in front of her nervously. They were right. She didn't know if she liked him, but last night woke something inside of her that was dormant right up. Her teeth dug into her bottom lip as the memories replayed in her head. "Your virginity is a sacred thing. You shouldn't give that up to someone you barely know," Miyeon told the girl with a soft look. Sunny slowly backed away from the girls, confusion now spread across her features. "W–Why does it feel like you guys are ganging up on me?" she stuttered nervously. Eunnie noticed her start to close herself off and began walking toward Sunny cautiously. "It's okay, unnie! We respect your decision. We just want the best for you," she explained.

          Sunny's eyes left the hard gaze of Soyeon to Eunnie's soft features. She slowly nodded her head. "Why don't we just begin practice, yeah?" Minnie asked. All of the girls nodded in agreement and continued to stretch their limbs. No matter how gentle she was, her core and her legs burned. Sunny fought the pained expression from her face, ignoring the pain and focusing on the task at hand. Though, it didn't go unnoticed by their trusted leader. Soyeon had felt off about Junhui the moment they met him the night before. He was short with responses and stared at them like they were inferior. She knew that her skills were better than his and would have been excited to prove it. But she didn't say anything because seeing Sunny so happy meant more to her. Yet, seeing her like this— in pain— she wanted nothing more than to kick him where the sun doesn't shine.

          The music finally began to blast throughout the empty room, echoing within the girls' ears. They settled in their starting positions. Sunny stood at the end, her arm resting on Miyeon's shoulder. They began the fast paced choreography and everyone could notice that Sunny's movements were lagging. The pain was beginning to become unbearable. She struggled to move her legs they way they were supposed to go, almost unable to bend over the way she had normally done. Soyeon watched her struggle through the mirror. With a sigh, she halted her movements and shut off the music. "You need to go home," Soyeon told the Park twin, her hands placed on her hips. Sunny's eyes widened the moment she noticed her words were directed toward her. "I'm fine! Really!" she argued, though it was no use. "No, you're not. You're slacking and we can't have that. Okay? Rest."

"Soyeon," Miyeon spoke gently, her eyes falling from Sunny's sad stare. "Go easy on her." Sunny suddenly sniffled. Her eyes twinkled with unshed tears. Why was she crying? Soyeon was right. Sunny was suffering. She needed to rest, but her pride was too big. "I can do this, Soyeon unnie," she muttered weakly, wrapping her arms around herself. Soyeon narrowed her eyes at the brunette. "No, angel, you can't. You're obviously in pain. You need to go home and rest." Minnie placed a comforting hand on Sunny's shoulder, attracting the younger girl's attention. "Sunny, babe, did Junhui hurt you?" Sunny's head dropped. She didn't want to admit it. If she did, she could be perceived as weak. She ran her fingers over her arms, avoiding eye contact. "It's supposed to hurt the first time," she whispered.

"Not the whole time, angel." Minnie pulled the girl closer to her, only to be pushed away. "It isn't that big of a deal. I've just got a few bruises." Eunnie's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Bruises? Where?" she asked. Sunny reluctantly began to pull down the waistband of her sweats, exposing the dark purple and yellow fingerprint bruises. Soyeon felt her jaw tick at the sight. "Sunny, that's not supposed to happen!" she exclaimed angrily. Sunny jumped at the sudden raise in her voice and quickly hid the injuries. "He didn't mean to. He apol–apologized," she replied, sticking up for the person who had inflicted her pain. The girls stared at her in confusion and surprise. "Whether he apologized or not is irrelevant right now. He bruised you. He hurt you. Why are you sticking up for him?" Miyeon grabbed a hold of Soyeon's arm in hopes to calm her down. Yelling wasn't the way to go about all of this.

"I–I don't know," she replied truthfully. "I don't know why– My head is so jumbled with everything going on." Minnie ran her hand over the span of the girl's back soothingly. "You're stressed. Go home and rest for us, okay?" Sunny slowly agreed to their request. "Okay. But I'll be here for the next practice, okay?" She hugged each and every one of the girls before gathering her stuff. She needed to figure everything out. And fast.
