"Aaa..."

Sowon give a signal so then SinB just open absentmindly without turning off her gaze from the monitor screen. Sowon just give a spoonful food and SinB just except it.

Sowon then scoop another spoonful of food, this time she giving it to Umji who sitting next to SinB. But that Maknae seems to absorbed into the game that she play with her roommate.

So then, "Maknae-ah, aaa..." Sowon giving a signal, that makes Umji open , then Sowon just put the spoon in.

 

"Huft~..." Sowon sigh.

 

Sowon ready with another spoonful, but when she about to give it to her maknaes, she look at them still in puffy cheeks. They are not swallow their food yet, they even not munching it.

 

Sowon's blood start to boiling slowly...

 

 

"YAAAHH!! ARGHH!!" suddenly SinB shriek loudly, it jolting Sowon. And for worser, SinB accidently spilled the food that she keep in .

"Yeaayy!! I win!!" Umji shout victoriously.

"Just this once. I'm not gonna let you win other times." SinB warning. Umji just laughing.

 

 

"Maknaes...."

 

Suddenly SinB and Umji get a strange chilly goosebump as they heard that cold and low voice. They also feel a horror aura from behind them. Both maknaes timidly turn to look at their back, then their eyes meet a cold frightening glare of their Leader-Unnie.

 

"Y-.. yes-... yes, U-.. Unnie..." they stutterly respond.

 

All of sudden, in a speed of light Sowon reach out her hands to grip her maknaes's ears then twist it at the same time, just enough to make them grimace and groan while begging her fogiveness.

 

"You spoiled brats! Can you be more grateful? I feed you food that I cooked by myself with my own hands. And you just spilled it out?!... Enough the game! Turn it off now! Eat properly by yourself! After that wash all the dishes on the sink! It mountainous." Sowon's ultimatum is successfully exploded the maknaes game time into pieces. The maknaes whine but when Sowon for once again glare at them, it's enough to shut their mouth and having no other option than obediently do what their Leader-Unnie told them to do.

Then while Sowon is still angry, she enter to 97s sharing room...

"Yah! What time you actually gonna wake up? You have schedule to go. Manager-Oppa gonna be here in a half of hour!!" She scolding both the room owners, and yank off their blanket. Yuju jolted and wake up into sitting position right away, she get down from her bed then panickely rushing to the bathroom. While Eunha, she lazily rubbing her sleepy eyes, then yawn. Right after Sowon get out from the room, that bobbed hair girl reach her blanket back then curl under the blanket, back to doze.

 

Yuju finished her bath, enter back into the room, "Eunha-yah, I'm done. Wake up now, you can use the bathroom now."

"Eung~..." Eunha lazy respond.

But even after Yuju already change her clothes and packed her stuffs, Eunha still doesn't wake up yet.

"Eunha-yah... wake up! Manager-oppa might come soon." Yuju remind, but get no respond from Eunha.

 

Unexpectedly, Sowon come back enter the room. And that young leader is obviously very angry looking at still-sleeping-Eunha. Sowon have her both hands on her hips, her face is getting red, as her blood might boiling that time. Yuju is quiver looking at her leader-unnie.

Luckily, right when Sowon about to explode, Yerin is interfering.

"Unnie, you also have class later, right? And you said you haven't finished your assignments. Why don't you go to work on it, and let me handle this sleepy head and I make sure they go  at the same time with me." Yerin trying her best to prevent disaster. Then push her leader-unnie to get out from that room, while secreatly giving Yuju a sign to drag her lazy roommate up, and Yuju nod with all her might.

"Eunha-yah, wake up! Seriously wake up now! Or we might not gonna make it to save you next time from Sowon Unnie's anger." Yuju unveil Eunha's blanket, then pull her to get up and drag her to the bathroom.

Later...

Two maknaes busy washing the dish on the sinking. They pouting and grumbling, blaming at each others. Yerin that happen enter the kitchen to get a drink, laughing at them, mockingly, then get glares from maknaes.

"Hahaha!!! Behave Maknaes! Or do you want me to tell Sowon Unnie that both of you are dare to glare at me, your unnie." Yerin threatening.

SinB and Umji sigh at the same time, their glare change to scare, "No. We're sorry. Please don't tell Sowon Unnie." They begging.

Yerin chuckle, "Seems that we, your unnies, spoiled you too much all these times, that's why you become impudent..."

"No, we're not!" Both Maknaes furiously rebut.

Yerin smirk, "See..."

SinB and Umji sigh, "No, we're not, Unnie." They tone become calmer.

Yerin chuckle, "It's okay if you do that to me. I realize that I'm also trouble maker in this group." Yerin grinning and giggle. "But, let me give you an advice... that you must respect Sowon Unnie more than you thought. She already carrying huge responsible to lead our group. She has too much to handle on her hands. Don't burdening her more. Instead, help her. It's okay to joke around or goofing to her, but try your best to not add more work or thought for her. You already help if you able to take care your basic needs by yourself. Unnie already did something out of her responsibility by made some food for us, so why you still made her had to feed you with her hands? And you even still made that harder for her?"

SinB and Umji low their head, feelin guilty, "We understand, Unnie. We're sorry..."

Yerin chuckle, "Hey... wrong target. You should say that to Sowon Unnie." SinB and Umji nod.

Fortunately after all chaos that happened in their dorm that morning, Eunha and Yuju make it right on time when Manager-oppa came to pick both of them up also with Yerin who gonna attend another show.

 

***

 

SinB and Umji quietly open the door then peek inside the unnie line sharing room, found Sowon who look busy with hee laptop on her desk. Maybe doing her college assignments. SinB and Umji look at each other.

 

"Let's go!" SinB whispering command, Umji nod. Then they enter the room. Walk closer to Sowon.

 

"U-... Unnie..." they call timidly.

Sowon turn to face them. She look already fine. And that reduce Maknae's nervousness.

 

"Sowon Unnie, we're so sorry." SinB and Umji said at the same time.

"Were you already finished washing the dish?" Sowon ask in flat tone, that rising Maknae's terrified. But they manage to nod.

"Yes, we finished that.'

Sowon bloom a smile, "Good."

SinB and Umji exhale a glad sigh as they see Sowon's smile.

"We make this for you, Unnie." Umji timidly hands a mug to Sowon.

Sowon take the offer, then look inside the mug, chocolate milk, and it's warm. She smile, but having a thought to give a little bit more 'lessons' to her beloved Maknaes...

 

"Since you already done washed the dish, you have nothing to do, right?" Sowon ask.

"Yes." SinB and Umji innocently answer without knowing what the next might happen.

"You really sincerely feeling sorry to me, right?"

"Yes, we are really sorry, Unnie."

"You will do anything to get my forgiveness, right?"

"Yes, of course, Unnie. Anything."

"Uhmmm... so, do you mind if I ask for your help?"

"What we can do for you, Unnie?"

"Uhmm... Never mind. Just forget it. I don't want to bother you." Sowon start to doing her 'push and pull' strategy.

"No. Tell us!"

"Nah... It might tiring you. Just go get some rest, Maknaes."

"No. It's okay. We are not tired. What is it?" Maknaes become curious and they 'unconsciously' insisting.

"Really? You're okay?"

"Yes. C'mon, say it, Unnie. We will definitely do it for you."

 

Gotcha!!

Sowon trying her best to hide her winning smirk, as Maknaes 'fall into her trap'.

 

"Uhmm... I'd like to ask your help to.. uhmm.. to..." Sowon pretend to hesitate.

"Geez! Just say it!" SinB irritatingly insist.

"Uhmm.. to vacum the whole dorm and buy groceries." Sowon finally said, while 'practized' what she got learn in her college. Acting, plastering a sad and guilty face, targeting for Maknaes's compassion.

Both maknaes widened their eyes for a split second, taken aback, but they already lost their chance to runaway. So then, they end up doing what Sowon asked them to do.

 

 

Later...

Yerin is on her way to get back to dorm after done her indivual schedule, she recognize Umji who walking alone on the pedestrian area, just turn on the corner, seems having hard time carrying bags of groceries. Yerin ask Manager-Oppa who drive her, to pull over...

"Umji-ah, needs hands?" Yerin ask after she shows her face through opened car window.

"Thank goodness... Yerin Unnie, you come at the very right time." Umji said, almost tears up.

"Jump in!" Yerin then open the car door, so Umji can get in the car.

 

On their way to get back to the dorm, after Umji get in the car...

"Why you went by yourself? Is this also one of Sowon Unnie's punishments?" Yerin ask.

"After finished washed the dish, SinB and I were went to asked for Sowon Unnie's forgiveness. We brought warm milk for Sowon Unnie who busy doing her college assignments. Then she asked if we willing to help her. Since we didn't have anything to do, so we agreed to help her. That's all..." Umji innocently explain.

"So where SinB? Why you went alone?" Yerin ask.

"SinB is helping to do another thing." Umji honest answer.

Yerin smirking, get to understand what actually happened, "What she doing?'

"Cleaning the dorm, va." Umji tell.

Yerin chuckle.

"Why you laughing, Unnie? Is there something funny? I'm not joking..." Umji flustered.

"Hahaha... nothing, never mind, Maknae." Yerin said, while hiding her suspicion of the cunning of her roommate might be.

 

 

They arrive at the dorm. Yerin helping Umji to bring some of bags of groceries. On the living room, they find SinB sprawling on the couch, sleeping, look exhausted, while her hand is still gripping the vacum cleaner. The dorm is look cleaner and neater than before. Indeed that second maknae was seems did her best. Yerin and Umji pitily looking at sleeping SinB.

After finished put the groceries on the storage, Umji carefully take off SinB's grip on the vacum cleaner, put the tools back to the storage, then she sit next to her on the couch. Doesn't need took too much time, Umji following her roommate falling asleep.

 

 

 

About 2 hours later...

Sowon enter the dorm, get back after attended her class. She feel guilty when she look at sleeping maknaes on the couch.

Yerin who just get out from the kitchen, while holding a mug, greet her with sneer, "Unnie, you pranked them, did you?"

Sowon look at her roommate, "You awared about it..."

Yerin chuckle, "Of course I am. But they didn't. They sincerelly felt guilty and wishing to get your forgiveness."

Sowon shows a thin uncomfortable smile, "They are babies... adorably naughty babies who often made me lost my temper because their beagleness."

"But I'm sure, no matter how bad their naughtyness, you will always adore them. Don't you, Unnie?" Yerin sneer.

Sowon smirking, "Yeah, I do."

Yerin chuckle.

At night...

Eunha and Yuju back at the dorm, bringing dinner. Both maknaes wake up as soon they smell food aroma. Yerin also, that second-in-command is show up whenever she smell food, eventhough she was currently sleeping, she will wake up to get food.^^

 

The five of them already around the dining room, ready to dig in the food, when Yerin reminf them...

"Sowon Unnie isn't here yet..."

Her 4 dongsaengs's face become worry.

"Is she still angry to us?" Umji ask.

Yerin smile, "No. I'm sure she's no longer angry to you all."

"Is Sowon Unnie mentioned something about us?" Eunha worrily ask.

Yerin sadly smile, "Uhmm... yeah. But not about your laziness (while looking at guilty-Eunha), or your directionless behavior (looking at guilty-Yuju), or your misbehaved (looking at both guilty-maknaes).... Instead, about how much she regrets because of her inability to lead you."

Her 4 dongsaengs low their head, as they feeling very guilty.

 

Yerin sigh, "Let me tell Unnie to join us for dinner." Then she left. She back not too long to tell, "Unnie said, she not gonna join us, she prefer to sleep. Unnie was stayed all night to worked on her assignment that need to be done today. It's a requirement so she could took the exam today." Yerin's explanation makes her dongsaengs even more feeling guilty.

 

 

 

In the morning...

Sowon wake up and find a post-it note on her desk.
