That night the same dream occurred. I dreamt of being so sad. I saw myself crying and covering my face. Although, this time I immediately heard the sobs. She looked up at me. Her cheeks were still sewed to form a smile. I hugged this figure of myself. Whilst rocking her, I felt something jab my leg from inside my pocket. I reached into it to find a pair of scissors. "I have a way to help you now." I told her. I cut the thread and pulled it away from the mouth of myself. It was now my brother walking up to both me and the figure of me with scars on her cheeks. "My little sister, please be careful. Take care of yourself." He said. It was directed to the scarred one. I knew because right after he said that, she ran into his arms.

"EUNJAE! ARINA IS HAVING THAT THING AGAIN!" I heard from within my dream. The hugging between Kaito and the scarred one stopped. This time it was Kaito sobbing. In his hands was a picture of himself and I. 'Why would he be crying over a picture of us?' I thought. I began sobbing as well, due to the atmosphere I felt. Sorrow lingered in the air. Despair was filled in my brother's eyes. "What's wrong, Kaito?" I shook him. "Kaito?" I shook him again. "KAITO!? WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" I shook him repeatedly while sobbing. Then he fell over from his kneeled position. He fell as if he were dead. "I don't understand." I thought aloud.

I woke up with tears streaming from my eyes. Eunjae's whole body was wrapped around mine, and above us stood Miran and Yeonjin with worry shown on their faces. "Arina, is everything alright?" Yeonjin asked. I teared up again, thinking of the nightmare. I hugged Eunjae tightly as I cried. After I finished, Eunjae got up as well did I. "We think you should go ask to see a therapist or something to help you out a bit." Eunjae suggested while rubbing my back. I nodded and sniffled, "Okay, I'll go ask. Could you guys come with me though?". They all nodded and we got ready for the day. After preparing ourselves to look decent, we went to our manager to see if our company's CEO would allow a therapy session.

"I will see if we could set up something with the CEO. But, you have to tell me why you want to go see a therapist. It could cost a lot of money and we haven't gotten a win from any of our groups yet. It'll be tight, you'd have to promise to work hard to get a win." Out manager explained. "Well, manager-nim, I've been having this really frightening dream. It's been scaring me very badly and making me very sad. It brings my mood down a whole lot." I explained. "No no no, this isn't just a dream. She's been having night terrors! She yells and cries in her sleep! We have to do something about it! It's a big problem!" Miran exclaimed. "If you don't get help for Arina, then I'm leaving Night Era! It would prove to us how much they really don't care for their idols!" Eunjae hollered. My eyes widened so much while looking at Eunjae. Why would someone do that for me? I wouldn't even do that for me. "I completely understand girls, I'll try my best." Manager stated. "Do you promise?" Yeonjin asked. "Of course I do." He said. "By the way," he added, "we've produced a new song for you all. They want you to try to record some of it."

We ended up recording all of it. The talk with manager must've motivated us to work hard for what we want. The day soon pasted by, us still working hard to memorize and perfect the lines of the song. The manager hung his head low, shame seemed to fill the atmosphere. "Girls, I wasn't able to convince the company to allow you to receive therapy. I'm awfully sorry." The manager spoke. "Don't make rash decisions because of this." I stated. "I'm going to continue, you all should too. I'm sure this will pass by soon." I said to the rest of 4tell. Eunjae balled her fist, stomping away. It seemed she was headed towards the performance practice room.

A few minutes later music blasted throughout the basement of the dorms. We ran down the stairs and to the practice room but it was locked. "I know another way in!" Yeonjin yelled over the music. I nodded my head as she gestured Miran and I to follow. She opened a vent that was right outside of the room and slipped in. "WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE MUSIC?" One of the members from the trainee group yelled. Miran just was not having it because she marched over to him with so much sass. "WE ARE WORKING IN THAT! CALM DOWN, WILL YA?!" She yelled at him. He was astonished by her behavior since we usually were very friendly towards them. Soon the music was turned off, but then we all heard echoing sobbing. This caused me to think of the dream I had. I began tearing up, which soon led to heaved sobs emitting from myself. "Stop. Stop! STOP! PLEASE! MAKE IT STOP!" I yelled. My yelling caused everyone to become silent. The whole building became silent. Nothing was heard, except for my sobs, muffled by my hands. "Arina, I know something that'll make you feel a bit better." Miran said. She slipped a pair of headphones over my ears, and handed me her phone. Chewing gum was playing, and Miran knew how badly I crushed on the adorable Jisung. I smiled, wiping away my tears that stained my face. After the music video finished, I was okay. "I would like to meet him." I said to Miran. "Maybe we will one day." She said to me. "Really?" I asked. She nodded in response.

"Manager-nim, since we accomplished so much today, may we have a day to go meet up with this Jisung?" Miran asked. We ask an awful lot from our manager. "You'd have to have a meeting with all of NCT Dream or it might cause fans to become curious." Manager stated. I smiled widely and nodded my head. "I'll get to meet all the cuties!" I laughed. Miran squatted down and kissed my cheek. "Indeed you do." She said.
