"T-Hi!"

Oh, no. It's another house. We are going to be stuck here all day, Eunbyul thought as they arrived at the location. After disinfecting their hands, checking their temperatures and changing into sliders, everyone made their way towards the room, looking at the card, laptop and other things in the room.

"What is big TREASURE?" Hyunsuk announced as he read the card, and everyone immediately worked in the gears in their brains, trying to find a meaning.

"Maybe it's TREASURE in capital letters," Eunbyul and Yedam suggested at the same time, and they looked at each other, leaning over to exchange a high-five.

"Because big TREASURE might just refer to TREASURE in big letters, right?" She shared her hypothesis with the others and grinned when she saw a staff member subconsciously nod along.

As Hyunsuk unlocked the laptop, everyone gave a late greeting, making Eunbyul burst into a giggling fit. We can never get the greetings right. She shook her head to herself, raising her brows when a wheel of (mis)fortune was given to write their own penalties for their escape room.

As they wrote the penalties, Jihoon pulled Eunbyul to the side, holding her arm as she looked confused. "Okay, but if I get the chaperoning one, then I choose Byul!" He declared, grabbing everyone's attention.

"But there's nothing to chaperone, though?" The youngest tilted her head in confusion, looking at the older male.

"Huh?"

"I do my school online, so you don't have to take me anywhere."

Jihoon looked at the staff, pointing at the female. "But she counts as one of the kids, right? I can still chaperone her, right?" He was becoming desperate after hearing how early they had to wake up.

The staff shook their head, clarifying that it had to be Jeongwoo and Junghwan. Everyone got their turns on the wheel of penalties, and Eunbyul looked indifferent as she got her penalty; cleaning the studio.

"Well, it's not like its something I haven't done before."

Eunbyul stood first in the line, looking around as she tried to grasp whatever the boys were saying — especially with the insane speed they spoke in. After understanding how they were supposed to play the game, they handed Eunbyul the hula hoop.

"Challenge ... start!" She announced, impressing everyone with how fast she went through with a body roll despite her long limbs.

Eunbyul watched intently as everyone passed through the hula hoop, analysing whenever the boys got stuck and understanding what was wrong before explaining it to the others. After failing the second try, the boys sighed, already worn out with the activity as they kneeled on the floor to beg for another chance.

"Oppas," the youngest called out, her low voice grabbing everyone's attention. "I think we should stand in height order. Haru-kun gets stuck because Sahi-kun is shorter than him. Shall we try that way?" She advised, returning the encouraging smiles the boys gave her.
