Chapter 20: The Return
One WishHyewon's POV
When Yujin and Wonyoung, I mean Minjoo, went home last night, I felt like there was something wrong. I tried pretending to be asleep when Yujin entered our room.
As she tried to fall asleep, in which I thought she was trying, I heard sniffles on her side. Meaning, she was crying. I didn't asked what it was about since I knew exactly what.
As soon as I made sure she was already sleeping, I sneakily went out and headed to Wonyoung's room.
I put my right ear next to the door so I can hear if she was already asleep. I heard the same thing I did with Yujin earlier, she was crying. Only, heavier cries were heard from her than from Yujin. I guess something really did happen between them.

I woke up earlier than Yujin the next day. I wanted to see how Minjoo was doing. I decided to check up on her first since Yujin wasn't the type of person to admit that she's hurting. Sooner or later, I bet she'll start telling me what happened last night. But right now, I decided to check Minjoo first.
The other members were still asleep as I went out the room. Only Eunbi unnie was awake, cooking breakfast for us. She smiled when she saw me heading towards Wonyoung's room. I smiled back at her, for her not to notice anything that happened last night.
I knock on the door gently at first. "Wonyoung, are you still sleeping?" I know it's not really Wonyoung whom I'm taking to but I can't let Eunbi unnie hear me addressing Wonyoung as someone else.
There was no response from her. I tried knocking again. This time, a little bit harder. I'm a bit sorry for trying to wake her up at this hour, but I needed to know what happened last night and to confirm my suspicions.
The same thing happened, no response. I planned on bringing the door down on my own but I knew I couldn't do that. I decide turn the knob to see if the door was open. Fortunately, it was.
I carefully walked in her room, closing the door in the process. I saw that she was still pretty much asleep. I guess I wasn't knocking hard enough for her to wake up.
I sat next to her bed as soon as I'm near it. "Minjoo, Minjoo." I tried waking her up. There was still no response from. Now tell me, how much of a heavy sleeper is she?
I tried shaking her the second time, still calling her name. "Minjoo, it's time to wake up." I don't want to say this again but still, nothing.
This time, I started to get worried. No matter how many times I wake her up, she still wouldn't budge. I quickly went outside the room to call for Eunbi unnie.
"Eunbi unnie!" I called out. She looked at me, still cooking. "What is it?" She asked. I looked back to the direction of Wonyoung's room. "It's Wonyoung. She's not waking up."
Yujin was coming out of our room when she heard me say those words. She still looks a bit sleepy but when she heard what I said, she looked at me with wide eyes before heading straight into Wonyoung's room.
Eunbi unnie who was cooking, dropped what she was doing and went straight into the room together with Yujin. Soon, panic voices filled the room. Eunbi unnie was calling for our manager, telling her to bring a car in quickly. Yujin was seating next to Wonyoung, wearing a blank expression on her face.
By the time the car got here, everyone was up. I couldn't understand what was happening. All I know is that both Wonyoung and Minjoo were in trouble.

The drive to the hospital was full of the members panicking and Eunbi unnie telling our driver to speed up. Everything was happening too fast. No one really expected for some thing like this to happen.
As soon as we reached the place, we brought Wonyoung to the emergency room. It wasn't a serious case so we went with them in.
A few checks here and there, the doctor said that Wonyoung will be fine. Her vitals were functioning properly and that she was just too tired that's why she hasn't woke up yet. It may be due to an emotional stress that she was feeling. He said she needs more time to rest and that she'll wake up soon.
I'm guessing the emotional stress that he have mentioned have something to do with her crying all night yesterday. The members were surprised that Wonyoung was experiencing this kind of thing. They told the doctor that Wonyoung looked fine all the time.
Every one was talking to each other on what could have possibly triggered Wonyoung's stress. Every one was talking except for Yujin and I.
As the members were next to each other still finding out what went wrong, Yujin and I were next to Wonyoung's bed. We were just staring at her, wondering when she'll wake up.
"What happened last night?" I spoke up, breaking the silence. Yujin looked at me, her eyebrows furrowed. I'm guessing she's thinking on what to say. "What do you mean?" She asked, averting her eyes from me.
"I already know." I whispered, but loud enough for her to hear. "About Wonyoung not being Wonyoung but being someone else." As soon as I said that, she looked at me with wide eyes. There was a mixture of surprise, sadness, and anger in her face.
Yujin cleared . "I confessed to her, then later on found out about the truth." She stopped, taking a deep breath in before releasing it. "I guess my reaction took a toll on her. If I didn't say those words to her, she wouldn't be
