Jiyeon's POV
today is a cleaning day for us and we are also recording the show, but we aren't supposed to interact with the cameras, just live like we always do. i was jumping on the bed as chan tried to make the bed and he climbed onto the bed tackling me over, tickling me like crazy. i was laughing trying to get away but he wouldn't let me. i closed my eyes and tried pushing him off. he let me push him off and i got up "AHHH" i yelled and he rolled his eyes laughing going back to cleaning up, me doing the same. after a bit we walked out of the room to see vivi, minho, jisung, changbin and natalie cleaning up. i walked up slowly picking up a pillow on the couch and chucking it at jisung and ducking down behind the couch quickly. they turned and then jisung screamed "CHAN!" and chased him. i stood up laughing and then jisung looked at me "you're evil" he said and i gave him a finger heart with a smile.

i was cleaning up the room having the time of my life when i looked up seeing a spider on the ceiling. i screamed "changbin!" and he came running into the room. "what happened?" he said panicked and i didn't take my eyes off it "spider" i said and looked at it. he chuckled softly walking out of the room "BABE!" i yelled and he chuckled. i watched it and almost started crying until he came back with a cup, he put the spider into the cup "no no kill it" i whined and he brought it over to me holding it out to me. he then saw my phone on the bed, he smirked and let it out on my phone. i started crying and panicking. he noticed and started laughing, picking it back up and bring it outside i guess. i sat there crying scared looking at my phone. he walked in and he scrunched down in front of me hugging me "it's not gonna hurt you" he said and i hit him lightly "don't do that!" i yelled and he laughed softly, trying to calm me down.

after cleaning for a bit everything had a change of attitude, jyp said we need to stop being lazy and us girls need to get on the ball with music and promotions. natalie was focus on making a solo song, vivi with her lines, me trying to work on my next come back and jiyeon messaging jyp about something that seemed important, but i was too busy focused on what i was doing to care.

i was messaging jyp, he was telling me this but he should tell natalie because she is the leader. i don't know why he chose to tell me, but basically when we get back he'll be adding 2 members to our group. he told me who there were and not to tell everyone else. i was stressed because these girls hate minnie. i didn't like the idea of this much because it means we need to start sharing rooms now and it's gonna cause so much drama between the girls.i got up going to find chan. i walked into me and his shared room to see him, changbin and jisung with there heads stuck in their laptops working on music. "guys.." i said and they kinda just ignored me "we have a problem" i said walking in closing the door behind me, chan then looked up "changbin, you remember the girls that were attacking minnie in her dorm before we debuted? the girls that would hit her?" i asked and he nodded "how could i forget, why?" he asked me, eyes still locked on the laptop "jyp said he's added them to our group, making the group bigger" i said and his eyes shoot up quickly from the computer "what?" he said firmly and i repeated myself. he shook his head "fuck.." he mumbled "it's okay, i'll fight them" jisung said and i chuckled "you can't hit girls" i said and he kissed his teeth, mocking me. "we will figure this out once we get back to korea" chan said and i agreed. walking out of the room.

we all watched and enjoyed it. these girls are so talented "OMG!" minnie screamed looking at her phone and looked at me and felix, speaking in english quickly so changbin wouldn't understand "mino messaged me and wants to go on a date, help" and handed the phone to me. i looked at laughed softly "just ignore him, you're taken" i said in korean and changbin grabbed the phone and looked angry, deleting it and putting the phone in his own pocket, us laughing softly at the action.

Minnie's pov
jyp told us we have to go back to korea, so i was filming another mukbong, this time with felix, jiyeon, changbin and chan. we sat in front of the camera and i did my intro before getting into the story as always, today is eating toco bell. "i've been dying for a dorito taco" i said taking a bite into it and closing my eyes "ew" jisung said as he walked by sticking his hand in to grab a taco. i gave him a death glare with taco in my mouth and he chuckled walking away with his taco. "today is about sleep, how much do you sleep? do you sleep easy? is it hard to sleep?" i said asking the question to all of them "well we all know felix sleeps easy" changbin said "i don't sleep" chan said and we all agreed with him, 100% this man doesn't sleep. "it depends how tired i am, like if i'm really tired it takes me like 5 minutes" felix said "more like it takes you 5 seconds, this guy sleeps so easily" i said and they laughed. "minnie takes forever to sleep" changbin said as he bit into a taco "no you do" i said "i just don't sleep until you do" he said and i rolled my eyes "ew gross relationships, ill sleep if i wanna sleep" jiyeon said and chan chuckled "i can confirm this, she just sleeps" chan said and we chuckled. "minnie can you translate this?" changbin asked and i nodded, he then spoke in korean "she has this full process every night, where i ask her if she's sleepy, she says no and asks me what do, i say close your eyes and sleep, she gets mad saying she isn't sum kid that can just sleep and then she closes her eyes and she out like a light." he said and i kissed my teeth "i don't do that" i said and he nodded aggressively "oh yes you do" he said and rolled my eyes bitting a fry. "do you guys snore?" felix asked "changbin does" i said pointing at him "hey at least i don't twitch in my sleep" he said and i rolled my eyes. "chan does sometimes, but only when he's really stressed" jiyeon said and i nodded. "alright, anyways today's story is about something called 'fatal familial insomnia, have you guys heard of it?" i asked them and they shook their heads "i have insomnia, does that count?" jiyeon asked and i chuckled softly shaking my head. "so basically, the effects of this disease is very scary, this disease has no cure, no explanation and in most cases it's in your genetics" i said and felix spoke up "why does it have the word fatal on it? can you die?" he asked and i nodded "yeah you can" i said bitting into a taco. "once you get it, for 9 months to a year you will not be able to sleep, not even a lick of sleep until finally you die, and there's no cure" i said and chan flickered his eyes "woahh" he said. "the scariest part of it is that it's silent in your body until the age of 30s/40s and you'll find out you have it. one day you wake up and the next you can't sleep, and the next you can't sleep and then you just never sleep again." i said and they were all eating going 'mhm' "you would try sleeping pills, alcohol, anything that will get you to sleep, but you just can't" i said "after a couple days you finally go to the doctors and you tell them 'look i can't sleep, my body is tired but my mind isn't, then they give you heavy duty sleeping pills, those things would KNOCK you out, but it doesn't work" i said taking a sip of water "so you're like 'what the hell is going on' so you go BACK to the doctors and you tell them you can't sleep, so they do a scan on your brain and the part of your brain that tells you it's okay to go to sleep doesn't work anymore." i said "oh no.." changbin mumbled "mhm, and then for the next 9 months to a year you can't sleep, and like you still need to sleep, you would begin to lose it, emotionally, physically and mentally, you become miserable" i said "once you don't sleep you forget basic things right?" jiyeon asked "you'll forget how to process sentences." i said and she nodded. i took another bite of my taco and some water "god this is so good.." i mumbled and they all agreed "so there was a man that documented this once youtube" i said and they showed sights of agreeing. "a big you tuber?" chan asked "no kinda small, i think he started his channel in 2010 and posted a lot of drawings." i said and they nodded "basically he showed clips of what it was like for him over time with this disease and like posted videos of how hard it was for him to fall asleep but couldn't, like he would be about to fall asleep and then twitch" i said "just seeing the pain in his eyes hurt so much to see" i said and they agreed "did he die?" felix asked and i nodded. "he hasn't posted in about 3 years so we can only assume he did" i said and they nodded. i continued talking about it some more until the end of the video "i'm kinda scared i'll have it, what if?" jiyeon asked and i shrugged "it's very uncommon, you probably don't" i said and she nodded. i looked up at the camera "well, on a different note, thank you for watching" i said smiling softly and we ended the video "what a fucking scary disease" chan said and i nodded "it's worrying" i said starting to clean up.
