"so.. heres a.." she starts slowly before someone just had to do a quicker motion with their arm, scaring her, "ghost?!" she yells the last word.

seon and the other boys discussed where apparently a ghost stood from time to time and she quickly felt like she would die. so she avoided looking at the oldest in the room and instead searched for heeseung's hand without opening her eyes.

when she was a child she wasnt scared of ghost, no she was a kid that loved ghosts but she did experience something very fishy one day. she was visiting her parents and went to her room upstairs in their house, it was pretty late at night when she arrived and wanted to sleep off any exhaustion that she had and removed her make up in the bathroom when the door opened just for a person to slip in and the light flickered.

that was the last time she welcomed ghost stories with open arms and was scared every since because none of her family members was upstairs to begin with as her father was out with a friend of his and her mother was downstairs in the kitchen heating up some soup for her.

when she held a hand she thought it was heeseung's and squeezed it tightly in hopes of calming down her beating heart.

"uhm.. guys i think we should get lia to bed now." jake drawls out, looking over to the girl that had her eyes tightly shut and muttering things in french or japanese under breath.

"i swear to god, if you're just pranking us i'll never forgive you no matter if you're my member or not later on." she mutters.

"yeah maybe we should head to bed before the ghost comes and takes one of us!" 

suddenly lia stands up, opening her eyes and noticing she wasnt holding heeseung's hand but niki's hand instead, she blushes in embarrassment before quickly running to her lover.

"i'm sleeping in your bed tonight hee!" she yells out, clinging to him like a koala as he chuckles.

when lia was a little too long in the bathroom she noticed jay walking inside aswell, looking around in case anything would jump out of the walls.

outside jake and sunghoon had the brilliant idea to turn the lights off and make a run for it. and when the lights were off they head two screams, one louder than the other. it was so fast viewers almost couldnt make out what it was but the film team cut a clip in slow motion in the episode showing lia running out at full speed yelling for heeseung and her 'shoyo' which was introduced as her orange cat plushy that she brought with her.

a few minutes later heeseung was seeing walking upstairs with lia clinging onto him and her orange cat plushy, both chest on chest as she had her right arm circled around his neck and the other holding her plushy.

his hands, to make sure she wouldnt fall down, were around her waist and her tights while she, for precaution, had her feet tangled behind him to really cling on to him and making sure she wont fall and be left alone.

when the two arrived at his bed the girl was out like a light and fast asleep, still clinging on to heeseung, not that he minded they often slept at the others place and cuddled, her breathing steady and calm.

he stares at her features, sure there wasnt any moonlight to give this moment the cliche part but he could still make out where she had a beauty mark, where her full lips were or her eyes that were closed.

suddenly he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned his head, he saw niki sheepishly staring at him, quietly whispering, "can i sleep in your bed? i cant seem to fall asleep.."

heeseung, being the trusted hyung among the boys and knew niki was close with lia aswell, nods his head, "yea sure, come here."

two hours later, in the middle of the night the camera showed a scene of both heeseung and lia sleeping in his bed with an additional niki between the two. 

⸻

the next day lia was walking down the stairs, just having packed her bag after another mission was completed and voting was going on. 

she saw niki already there and happily hopped to him, he was with daniel and taki aswell.

"konichiwa boys." she greets them as she sits down with them, listening into the conversation that was happening after they greeted her back.

most of the boy stayed quiet after the mission and lia can see why but it seemed heeseung lightened the mood when he came down in his slippers that were too comfortable.

"hyung is already wearing his slippers"

"HAHAHA hee! why are you wearing the slippers already?!"

"they are comfortable.."

⸻

when voting came by and the participants knew their scores, lia went inside the room staring at the screen filled with the names.

"i need to vote those out i'm not too comfortable with, where i feel like theres no competition..the vibe needs to be nice and cool. dont want to be in an enviroment where i have to be careful with what i do.. and someone that understands my relationship and wont split us up.." lia mutters in french as she was thinking out loud.

making up her mind she choose seon, jaebeom and kyungmin.

when she was finished and the names were getting called out lia was tensed again, niki on her left while heeseung was on her right both holding her hand knowing she would probably pick on her fingers or bite her nails.

the first to get announced was kyungmin whose face dropped quickly and lia felt bad for voting him, he did always cheer her up with his bright smile and stories he would tell her when the two were bored or exhausted. he was one of the boys she held dear in her heart, scratch that she held every boy here dear in her heart but regardless of that she felt bad. 

second to be called out by the producers choice was seon, sure lia did vote him aswell but if she was honest she wouldnt have voted him at the entrance test now that she thinks back, it might seem bad to a few but she thought it was a tactic he chose to do. as he went first they had to vote him and take his performance as example for the others. 

she had to admit it was smart, but she didnt like how he always gave niki or her the stinky eye, she noticed many things and one of that was that niki slowly got upset with that as he too, noticed the stink eyes from him. she felt bad yeah but she cant help but feel a tiny bit glad he was leaving.

the third person to get eliminated was lee geonu. lia's face dropped. sure again she didnt have much going on with many others but she did have friendships with most of them and seeing geonu going to leave just.. didnt feel right in her heart and she thinks it was a wrong choice.

lia had taken heeseung into her arms, comforting her lover as he mourned the fact they had to go. she was always breaking down but this time she was the stronger one, the one comforting her one true love.

"its okay my love.." she cooed to him, whispering assuring words into his ear as her heart tightens with every sniffle he let out.

even jay cried heavily and she was sure the fans would make memes out of that moment he felt most vulnerable.
