Lucy sat down on her bed, grabbed a pillow and hugged it to her, sniffling quietly. "Hi unnie. Sorry I ran away out there - I just didn't want to cry in front of everyone - in front of Suyeon."
Yoojung sat down and faced toward her. "How's it going? - Oh, that's stupid - forget I said that. I just..."
She stopped. Lucy looked at her, not used to seeing Yoojung at a loss for words. "Unnie?"
Yoojung wrapped her arms around herself and rocked back and forth. "Oh Lucy. . . I'm so sorry. . ."
"What do you mean?"
Yoojung stopped rocking and looked into Lucy's eyes. "You were right out there. If it had been anybody but you, we'd all be in favor of it. I even said that very thing when Suyeon told me about the letter. Suyeon originally wanted to let you go, but Elly and I talked her out of it. But you're right, it wasn't fair. I wasn't fair."
Lucy stared at Yoojung, stunned, not used to seeing her unnie open up like this.

Yoojung, not used to being the unnie that the maknaes came to with their problems, slid closer to Lucy and hugged her, awkwardly patting her on the back. For several long minutes Lucy's body was wracked with sobs. Eventually she was finally able to speak again. "I don't know why you didn't trust me at first unnie, and I don't know why you changed your mind. I just know I really want to do this, so I can make that fan happy and I can prove to everyone that I'm not a screw-up."
Yoojung reached over to Lucy's bedside table and grabbed some Kleenex, which she handed to Lucy. She then hugged Lucy tighter as she wiped her face and dried her eyes. "We can do this." Yoojung said. She stood up and held out her hand to Lucy. Hand-in-hand, they marched out to confront their members.

Several hours later, everyone was still arguing. Lucy, Yoojung, and Doyeon were on one side. Suyeon, Sei, and Elly were on the other. Rina was with Elly, because in her mind being loyal to Elly was her highest loyalty. And poor
