Normally, everyone would be fast asleep at this hour, so even a loud truck wouldn't wake them. Dani was shocked to see Sakura standing before her, almost knocking her over. Her eyes widened in surprise.

All Dani could think was, 'Oh shit.' 

...

"Kkura-Unnie, why are you awake?" Dani asked nervously.

"Zuha is using the bathroom downstairs. What about you? Why are you up so early?" Sakura asked.

"The same thing," Dani replied quickly. "You know, the bathroom thing." Dani nervously laughed and then pretended to yawn. "Man, I'm still tired," she said as she stretched. "I'll see you later!" Dani then hurried to her room.

Sakura's eyes fluttered a few times as she struggled to comprehend what had happened. She couldn't help but wonder if Dani had always been that thin, noticing how her shirt hung loosely on her frame.

As Sakura pushed open the bathroom door, an overpowering stench of vomit hit her nostrils, causing her to cringe. She quickly grabbed an aerosol spray and dispersed it in the bathroom before closing the door and returning to her room.

...

Sakura sat in her desk chair and thought about Dani and everything that happened.

As Sakura thought about it, she realized Dani had been acting strange since KCON. Although Dani tries to act normal, Sakura can sense that something is off. Dani doesn't eat as much as she used to, has dark circles under her eyes, and her clothes appear looser.

Adding to her worries is the sudden reappearance of Miyeon in Dani's life. Sakura couldn't help but notice the impact that Miyeon's presence had on Dani. While Eunchae and Yunjin dismissed Sakura's concerns and brushed them off as jealousy, she was unconvinced. Dani's unusual behavior was too much to ignore, and it was evident that something was going on.

Sakura sat in front of her computer and opened Dani's Instagram profile. As she scrolled down, her eyes were drawn to the photo of Dani, taken just a few months ago. In it, Dani's eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation, mirroring Sakura's own feelings as she looked at the picture. Sakura couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as she remembered how nervous Dani had been during their debut, yet she had still managed to put on a brave face for the other girls. Looking at the photo now, Sakura couldn't believe how much Dani had changed since then.

Sakura heard something coming from the living room; she looked at her computer and noticed the time; it was only five in the morning. No one should be up right now. Usually, Dani doesn't  gets up until six. So Sakura got up from her desk chair and entered the living room. To her surprise, she saw Dani doing a very intense workout. She seems to not notice Sakura, so she just watches Dani.

Sakura carefully watched Dani as she exercised. Beads of sweat trickled down Dani's forehead, and Sakura could see the effort and strain on her face. Suddenly, Dani lost her balance and fell to the ground, causing Sakura to worry. She rushed towards Dani and gently tapped her cheeks to revive her.

"Dani!" Sakura exclaimed with deep concern.

After a few moments, Dani slowly opened her eyes, feeling disoriented and confused. As she looked around, she saw Sakura's face looming over her.

"Kkura-Unnie?" Dani said, recognizing Sakura's face. With some effort, she got up and asked, "What happened? Why are you up?"

"I heard a noise, and I wanted to check it out," Sakura said. "Dani, what are you doing up so early? We don't have a schedule today," she asked.
