Start from the beginning
                                    

Yedam passed round easily, picking Eunbyul up on second and going under the limbo the next. It happened so fast, and before you knew it, it was the next member's turn.

The youngest three; Haruto, Jeongwoo and Junghwan passed as well, having no issues since they were the same height as Eunbyul — except Haruto, who was taller — and easily carried the younger and moved past the limbo.

"Okay, we are never doing that ever again."

"Haru-kun..." Eunbyul took her can of cola, placing it next to the older. "You can have mine, I'm done with it." She offered him her drink, after seeing how he wanted to drink it badly, but sucked it up and sat next to Yedam.

"No, no. It's fine. You can have it." Haruto shook his head, not wanting to deprive the younger of the soft drink.

"I'm done, really. Just drink it."

"Okay."

After their lunch break segment, Eunbyul went on with the third — and last — period, which was guessing the pose. It was an up-close and personal round, to which Eunbyul was completely used to seeing around the dorms.

The boys may act like it disgusts them when they are forced to get kisses as a punishment, but heck, with Jaehyuk around, all of them got rid of the awkwardness within the first three months of being together.

"I think Yedee oppa broke the record, right?" Eunbyul looked at the staff after Yedam completed the pose, checking with them to see if she was correct. "Wah, only two seconds? That's amazing!" Her eyes widened after hearing the time taken. She knew it was fast, but not that fast.

The segment was rushed by, since everyone had a lot more work to do back at the company. Eunbyul grumbled under her breath as she was notified about her online lessons — which were supposedly cancelled for the day — but then they were brought back up.

"You can't just cancel a class and make it happen again," she muttered, staying behind the cameras as her manager patted her head, giving her encouraging words.

"It's okay, you can do it. Fighting!" Manager Park stated, sending her back into the shot, so the cameras could capture her. He smiled to himself, seeing the younger immediately smile for the cameras, pretending she wasn't grumbling a few seconds ago.

The boys were told to place their badges in the person they wanted to pair and were thankful for. They gave Eunbyul a chance to do the same, despite not having the special moments the others did.

"I'll just give this to who I'm grateful for, yeah? Can I?" She asked, holding her badge as the boys were loitering outside the set, not knowing what was going on inside.

After getting a nod from the staff, Eunbyul placed the badge inside the box, standing at the side, and waited for the boys to take their positions inside. Eunbyul didn't have a box for herself, so she watched the boys take their boxes, opening them with surprised looks on their faces.

Jihoon and Junkyu gasped, seeing their empty boxes, and Eunbyul doubled over, slapping her knee as she laughed, because she knew how wrong they were throughout everything. Junghwan and Eunbyul have little sessions together before they go to sleep — even though their dorms are different — and she knew it was Doyoung from the start.

Poor Junkyu and Jihoon.

"Oh? I have Hoshi's badge?!" Yoshi confusedly stated, looking at the cameras and at the girl, wondering what was going on. No one knew they allowed her to place her badge too — since there wasn't a box for her.

"She can do that?"

"Wait, you are telling me she actually chose one of us?!"

The last one was definitely from Jihoon, and I'm sure you knew it too. Eunbyul awkwardly glanced around, not knowing what to say. The staff asked the questions from the prompts, helping her form the words to speak.

"Why did you pick Yoshi?"

"He was always there for me, from the start. Jaehyuk oppa was there way before we even came to be in YG and TREASURE, so I just thought of someone in TREASURE that I was grateful for," she explained, including why she didn't choose Jaehyuk since she knew everyone was thinking the same.

"Though I got to know Haru-kun before, Yoshi-kun is someone I really admire and even though he always scolds me..." Eunbyul laughed, looking at Yoshi before looking back at the camera. "... I know it's in my best interest. And I am really grateful to have someone like that."

The others opened their mouth to add in something — most probably to tease her — but Eunbyul was quicker. She held her hand up, telling them to hold it as she added a few more words. "Just because I chose Yoshi-kun doesn't mean I admire the rest any less. I love all twelve of you the same, and I will forever be grateful for everything you guys did for me, regardless of whatever age gaps we have."

She wrapped her little speech with a hug to the boys, something that happened whenever things took an emotional turn. Their manager gestured them to quicken their pace, and everyone quickly said the stuff they had to, putting an ending to their TREASURE MAP shoot for the day.

"T-Bye!"

Until next time, TREASURE MAKERS!
