After finishing her song Eunbi turns to Chaewon who is now sleeping. Stroking the cub hair the older says "I'm sorry, Chaewon, but I have to tell them now they've seen you ...I should have been more careful" Sighing she get up, tucks the sleeping cub in her bed, kiss her forehead and leaves the room.

Standing in front of them, Eunbi look at them one by one.

"you must promise me to not repeat to others what I am about to tell you" she says sternly

"even at the maknae?" Yena asks

"for them they will know it when Chaewon is ready to tell them" the older tell them

"okay, unnie we'll not tell them" Chaeyeon reply

"okay...First of all, you should know that we wanted to tell you this, but after a while we thought it was better to wait a bit...'sigh' Chaewon was afraid that you would judge her and that you would no longer want her in the group" Eunbi says

"how could she think that of us? we love her like our sister, she's our family like we are hers. We can not abandon her even if she has a problem " Yena exclaims angrily

"baka, don't interupt unnie when she's talking" Sakura says as she hits her on the head earning a 'sorry' from the duck. "please go on unnie"

"thanks... Chaewon has a mental illness, which I mean she has regression, her brain needs to go back in times...in a word she's a little... it can happen at any time,  she warns me and I have at most 30 minutes before she leaves for an indefinite duration but she manages to resume control once she has slept" Eunbi explains, silence filled the room

"Woa, I didn't expect this...Since when do you know ?" Minju reply in shock, breacking the silence

"she didn't know it at first, and little by little I realized that something was wrong... so I took her to the hospital and that's how we knew it... it's been about a year since I knew it" Eunbi answers

"I can't believe we didn't see anything..." Chaeyeon says as she leans her head on the wall

"I guess our managers don't know that" Sakura states

"no, you are the only ones, even her family doesn't know about this.. so please girls keep it to your self" Eunbi pleads 

"don't worry unnie, we'll not tell a souls" Hyewon reassures her as she hug the latter.

"I want to see little Chaewon-ie now ... can we ?" Minju says excitedly, getting up 

"she's sleeping right now, tomorrow she's not gonna remember what happened" Eunbi explains

"what do you mean, she's not gonna remember ?" Sakura asks her

"I mean, every time she forgets what's going on, she never knows what she did or what she said"

"So that means tomorrow she won't know we know?" Hyewon asks the older, still hugging her

"yep, I think it's better this way, she'll tell you when she's ready and you can reassure her at that moment" Eunbi explains

"don't worry, we'll help you with her without her knowing and we'll wait for her to tell us" Chaeyeon reassures her as the others nods

"thanks, now let's go to bed, it's getting late" Eunbi instructs, as she kiss Hyewon's cheek, who blushes and takes Minju's hand then drags her toward their room "goodnight"

-----------------------

Standing in front of the room the girls are surprised to see the light on which means that Chaewon is awake.

"Why is she awake ? Didn't you tell me she was asleep?" Minju whispers to the older

"when I left she was asleep" the older answers

"Chaewon ?" Eunbi asks as she opens the door, not receiving a response from the latter the two enter but do not see her

"where is she ?" Minju asks as she look around their room but stop once they hear the cub inside the bathroom

"what do you mean by that ?...... no I didn't ...since I tell you I didn't do anything, I didn't touch her stuff..."

"she's on the phone" Minju says while getting ready to go to bed

"yeah... that mean she's the normal Chaewon" Eunbi mumbles

" And if you think about it I haven't seen you in five months how I could have touched it when I didn't come ?...yeah bye ...."  Chaewon hang up and sigh, then leave the bathroom to find to Eunbi getting ready for bed and Minju in her bed on her phone

"Hey" she mumbles

"Are you okay? I thought you were asleep ?"Eunbi reply, as she lies down on her bed

"I was ? I don't remember...but yeah, it was just my mother...even at this late hour she manages to accuse me of something"  the cub sighs " you want me to turn off the light ?" she asks them 

"yeah"

Turning the light off, the cub grabs her stuffed tiger and enters gently into the bed of the frog, trying to not scare her. "Minju-ah, can I sleep with you ?"she asks her

"yeah, come here" the frog agreed then puts her phone on her bedside table, opening her arms allowing the tiger to slip into her arms to sleep

"thanks Minju-ah" the cub mumbles sleepyly, as she puts her head in Minju's neck

"I know you sleep better when you hug someone" the frog reply, hugging Chaewon back to see her like that I would never have thought she was suffering from a mental disease

-----------------------

After a good night of sleep, the girls are awakened by their alarm which indicates that they have  a shedules in two hour. Openning her eyes Eunbi sigh, she's still tired but she doesn't have a choice so she gets up and stretches then looks at the two that have not moved.

"girls, it's time to wake up" she says

"I'm awake but Chaewon unnie isn't..." Minju mumbles as she opens her eyes "Chae.. wake up" she shakes her 

"mmmmmh nooo I don't want to wake up... please" the cub whines as she tighten her hug on Minju, making the frog smile

"strawberry or mint ?" Eunbi asks the cub

"mint but I really don't want to get up...What do we have to do today ?" Chaewon mumbles 

"unnie, even if you don't want to wake up, we have to shoot a variety show today, idol room I think" Minju reply as she sits up, making the cub sit on her lap with her eyes still closed, and tickles her to wake her up

"ahah stop...okay... I'm awake ! Minju please" Chaewon laugh trying to make her stop and falling from her lap to lie on the bed

"great ! let's eat I'm hungry" the frog reply getting up and following Eunbi outside, leaving the cub alone, trying to catch her breath 

"yah ! wait for me !"Chaewon shouts as she runs 

----------------------

"Hello girls !" Chaewon greets everyone while entering the kitchen were the girls are eating their breakfast

"Hello unnie ! how was you sleep ?" Wonyoung asks her, as the older sits next to her

"great, I can't remember getting off of the bus and what happened after, how was yours?" Chaewon asks the maknae and do not see the unnie line giving themselves a looks as they understand what Eunbi spoke last night

 ("so she really doesn't remember what happen ?" Yena whispers to the others

"don't talk about it when she's just next to you !" Sakura whispers-shouts at the duck )

"great, great. I fell asleep with Yudaeng, it was confortable" Wonyoung answers the cub

"Girls once you're done eating your breakfast go get ready !" Eunbi informs them as she heads to her room to change
