"T-Hi!"

Eunbyul excitedly greeted as they waited near Chungju Lake, looking up at the contraption that they were going to go bungee jumping on. She mainly agreed to go on it because Haruto had a penalty to do so, and she knew how scared the male was of heights.

Jeongwoo, Yoshi, Junghwan and Jihoon tagged along with Mashiho, Haruto, Asahi and Eunbyul, wanting to experience bungee-jumping for themselves. They had to wait a long time for their turns, and Eunbyul opted at going last (on Haruto's request because he wanted her to stay with him).

Everyone went one after the other, and Haruto subconsciously gripped onto Eunbyul's hand as he watched Jihoon and Asahi jump, nervous for his turn. The camera panned onto them, and Eunbyul wordlessly gestured to their hands, letting the camera capture how tightly he was holding her hand.

"Who's next?" The staff asked, and the female involuntarily let out a squeal, surprised by how tightly the male squeezed her hand.

"Do you want to go, Ruto-kun? Or should I go?" She asked quietly, standing up, just in case Haruto wanted her to go first.

"I'll go," he muttered, getting all the gear ready as Eunbyul stood next to him, hyping him up softly.

"Ruto-kun, fighting! You can do it, I know you can! Wait for me at the bottom, yeah?" She spoke in Japanese, letting the older feel more at ease with his mother-tongue.

Eunbyul bit her lip, worriedly watching Haruto as he hesitated before he jumped, scooting backwards, trying to calm himself. She stayed silent despite his random mumblings, knowing if she spoke, he would find more time to kill by making conversation with her.

It's now or never, Ruto-kun. You can do it.

Surprisingly, Haruto's jump was silent, and it made the youngest wonder if he had fainted during the jump. But seeing him walk it off, and the gestures from the other members, Eunbyul was glad to see Haruto was doing okay.

"Hyungs," Junghwan called out as they waited for Eunbyul to come on the ledge. "Did you know Byul is absolutely terrified of heights?" He confessed, letting his members in on a fact only he knew.

"Wait, what?"

"Really?"

"She's bungee-jumping, do you expect me to believe that?"

Junghwan nodded, assuring everyone he was saying the truth. "Byul came only because Ruto hyung was scared." His words caused everyone to look up, seeing the youngest on the ledge, waving wildly at them.

Eunbyul stood at the top, shaking with every step she took, afraid she'd die of a heart attack soon. It also surprised the staff to see the female shaking so much, but decided to question her about it after the jump.

Though she was terrified, she was slightly relieved to see the most scared members; Mashiho and Haruto jump safely with no problems. That was why she came, anyway. After screaming out an 'I Love You' to her brothers, members and fans, Eunbyul jumped, not even letting out a peep as she was dead scared.

As she got lowered to the boat, she shakily sat up, avoiding the cameras as she wobbled towards the platform, shaking with every step she walked, feeling dizzy. The boys immediately ran towards her, wanting to check on her after hearing what Junghwan had said.

"Byul, how are you?!"

"You good, Hoshi?"

"Say something, woman!"

Eunbyul peeked cutely, squinting her eyes as the bright sun hit her face, and Haruto — being taller than her — stood in front, blocking the sunlight from her. Though she didn't intend to, Eunbyul ended up making the others laugh with the one word she could muster.

"Kkijoring."

"T-Bye!"

Until next time, TREASURE MAKERS!
