"HOW WAS practice?" Eunjeong's soft voice startled Chinsun, the curly haired girl dropping her keys and gasping rather loudly in shock upon hearing the noise. She had been told that the girls would be out doing their own thing, Eunnie claiming to be with Jimin all day. If she had known that anyone would be home, she wouldn't have came back. "Sunny!?" Eunnie's brown eyes widened in fear at the sight of the many marks on her unnie's skin. The red rings around her wrist, the red spot on her forehead, the still blossomed bruise wrapping around her upper arm. "Did you get mugged!?" Sunny was quick to shush the younger member, a nervous laugh rumbling from her chest. "God, no. I just hit my head when I tripped over my shoe lace. And, I honestly don't know where these came from," she lied, holding up her wrists.

"Wasn't Junhui with you?" the youngest asked, her eyes still wide as she examined the marks on Sunny's wrist. The brunette stared at her friend. "Yes? Why do you ask?" Eunjeong fell silent as Sunny pulled her wrists away, tucking them behind her back. "He wouldn't hurt me on purpose," she spat angrily. Eunjeong jumped at the sudden change in Sunny's attitude. "He loves me and I love him. Why can't any of you accept that?" Hot tears trailed down her cheeks. "I never said—" Eunnie gasped upon seeing Sunny break down into tears. The older member had done quite well privatizing her breakdowns. The only slip up was that one night Minnie walked in, which could have been what prompted her to start locking the bedroom door. Her face was entirely screwed up as her arms wrapped instinctively around herself, as if to hold herself from falling apart.

"He loves me, Eunnie. I swear he does," she cried out, peering over at the dark haired girl through her blurred vision. Eunnie had no idea what to do. She was too fearful to hug the girl. She had no idea what other injuries she could sport. But she couldn't leave her like this. "Let's sit, okay?" She slowly pulled Chinsun toward the sofa where she rested. A warm blanket was wrapped around her shoulders, her face buried in her hands as her tears created streams. Quietly, the youngest called for backup, and it wasn't long until the girls had arrived. Minnie raced to Sunny's side, wrapping her arms protectively around her friend. Her tears had dried moments ago, but her body continued to tremble. "Who do I need to kill?" Soyeon asked angrily, her hands firmly at her hips. Miyeon ran her thumb along the red bump on the girl's forehead.

"Me, please," the twin replied weakly. Soojin ran her palm over the girl's messy hair, her eyebrows furrowed into a frown. "What's wrong, angel?" she asked in her calm, soothing voice. Minnie's head was rested right in the crook of Sunny's neck, her arms wound tight around her body. She shook her head, scared of what she could spill. She didn't want them to know, not when she was still fuzzy on whether or not she loved him. She loved him, right? "I'm so confused right now, unnie. And I feel like I'm slipping into a dark place that no one can help me from." Minnie lifted her head to look at Sunny. The worry was evident on the young girl's face. They hadn't noticed the bags growing beneath her eyes before that very moment. Sunny had always been so great at hiding her worries and problems.
