Eunbi opened the next door, excited to see what lies behind. Resurfacing these memories brought her joy, but they also made her feel sad. She missed these days. She missed when the times were simpler. When she saw the room she was in she had a bright smile. She already couldn't wait for this memory to play out.

"Yah! Don't talk to your un-"

"Unnie?" Eunbi smiled at her younger self. She use to be savage like Umji. It made her realize how much she has changed over the past couple of years.

"Don't talk to your friends like that is what I meant!" Eunbi couldn't stop laughing at Sowon's red face because of how angry she was.

"Friends?" Eunbi looked at the disgusted
look she had on her face after Sowon had called them friends.

"You're not my friend" SinB added.

"How dare you talk to me that way" Sowon gasped.

"Right, it's all about 'respect your elderly' these days."

"SinB if you say-"

"Do you need me to help you walk across the street?" SinB teased. Even Eunbi laughed at her own joke. She had to admit, it was a pretty good one.

"If you don't-"

"Grandma?" SinB smirked.

"Oh that's it!" Sowon got out of her chair and so did SinB. Sowon chased SinB around the whole cafeteria as students watched and looked confused.

"Older than dirt!" She yelled out to Sowon and she continued to run with a smile on her face.

"She said I have rusty bones!" Eunbi snickered as the principal brought her and Sowon to the office. Eunbi couldn't believe she use to act this way.

"I did not!"

"Did to!"

"Did not!"

"Did-"

"Both of you stop. I don't care who did what, there is no running inside."

"Yes sir." Both SinB and Sowon hung their head low in shame.

"Now go finish your lunch"

"Ok" SinB and Sowon argued all the way back to the table.

Eunbi looked back at her younger self and Sowon as she reached out for the next door. She felt very nostalgic. All she wanted was to go back to this time, but she had to continue forward. What would she see this time? She was surprised to see Sowon again when she opened the door, but she was also excited to see Eunha too.

"What are you guys doing out here?" The two both turned around and saw Eunha. It looked like she just got ready for the day. She was wearing very short shorts that were white with a blue t-shirt.

"Where the fuck did you get lemonade?" Sowon furrowed her eyebrows.

"I used some of your lemons and mixed it with water and ice" Eunha gave a sassy look while she sipped on the straw.

"Is that a plastic straw, Eunha? Save the fucking turtles!" Eunbi laughed at her own joke. It felt good to see Eunha and Sowon again, even if it was just a memory.

"Nobody gives a damn about turtles. I'll eat a turtle with the plastic in it if I have to" Sowon glared at her.

"Ok weirdo" Eunbi laughed. "Alright let's do this. Get in position" Eunbi backed up a few yards away and got into a fighting position.

Sowon just stood there looking at her though, looking at her like she's stupid. If only Eunbi knew it was a distraction. The second Eunbi tilted her head and began looking at her was when Sowon sprinted at 45 mph towards Eunbi. She was so startled and confused by Sowon that she just let herself be thrown to the floor. Eunbi couldn't stop laughing as she watched her younger self struggle to fight Sowon.

"Are you serious, Eunbi? You can't be distracted by anything or anyone or you're gonna die!" Sowon accidentally blurted out.

"What do you mean I'm gonna die? It's not like I'm going to fight someone...am I?" Eunbi looked up at her with worry in her eyes. Eunbi, looking back on this memory, realized that Sowon was giving subtle hints the whole time about fighting the alpha and leaving.

"No. I just mean like in the future if something ever happens" Sowon reassuringly smiled at her and helped Eunbi get up.

As Sowon grabbed Eunbi's hand and pulled her up Eunbi bit her arm and pushed her over and onto the floor. They both could hear Eunha laughing in the background.

"I thought you said to not be distracted" Eunbi smirked. Eunbi laughed. She couldn't believe she use to be this happy. She doesn't even remember what it's like to be happy anymore.

Eunbi went to the next door as the scene behind her continued on. What would be next? She only had one more left after this. She peeked her head around the door, an immediate wave of sadness hit her when she saw Yerin.
