•"I know there is a compliment somewhere deep inside of you and I'll take it."
•"You piece of shit."
•"Ah, there it is."
Silently, Sunghee glanced to the side as she tried to hide her blushing cheeks.
She hated admitting it, but holy shit...

Third person view
It was three o'clock in the morning when the DRGNS headquarters was filled with loud noises, waking up some of the girls from their sleep.
Hurriedly, Soyeon followed the muffled beatings and screams up to the third floor, where she immediately met Yeeun, Dahyun and Olivia.
Concern was written all over their faces as they stood together outside of Sunghee's room.
There was still the sound of objects shattering and breaking, caused by the girl in there who was probably throwing them around.
The sounds caused an icy shiver to run down each of the girls' backs as they stared at each other with sad eyes.
"It's happening again, isn't it?" Soyeon asked her leader, who meanwhile crossed her arms in front of her chest.
She nodded with a sorrowful gaze and sighed loudly. All of us knew what was going on, which is why the mood became even more oppressive than it already was.
"She's having nightmares again."
It had been a year since Sunghee had one of those dreams. Back then, she was so affected and blinded by them that she would wake up in the middle of the night, covered in sweat and tears, destroying everything around her shortly afterwards.
During those times, anger and hatred had taken over and she had let herself be completely dominated by violence and destruction.
Of course, DRGNS had tried to calm her down and help her, but in the end they all decided that the girl should live out her seizures. Either one of the members or Sunghee was injured during the attempts of help, so they agreed that the girl had to face her problems.
They couldn't really help her, but only wait and leave her alone.
Eventually the seizures had stopped by themselves, but apparently they now had returned.
Suddenly one could hear glass shattering and all four girls flinched at the same moment.
"Someone should go in there," it now came worriedly from Olivia, who was moving towards the door, but was stopped by Yeeun.
"Leave her alone, it's better this way", she looked seriously into her eyes, "it's better this way..."
"Why is this happening now all of a sudden? It's been so long since the last nightmare."
Nervously Dahyun looked back and forth between the other members and bit her lower lip. Each of them loved Sunghee with all their hearts and it hurt them tremendously to watch the girl destroy everything and herself.
"I think the close contact with the NCT members has flipped a switch in her head again," Yeeun replied as she tried to ignore the muffled screaming from the room next to them.
"But on the mission two weeks ago, everything was still fine," Soyeon mumbled irritated and drove her her hand frustrated through her hair.
"Maybe so, but in addition to the missions, she is now confronted with them in her private life. There is a difference between putting up with the people you hate for a few minutes or a whole day. She can barely avoid them and I guess the whole thing somehow overwhelms her psyche."
An oppressive silence went around, broken only by the sound of thrown objects.
Everyone wanted to help her, they just didn't know how.
"I don't know if she should remain the second-in-command in this state," Yeeun suddenly spoke up, the other three widening their eyes in surprise.
"Are you serious? You want to withdraw her of her position now of all times?"
"I don't want to, but just listen to this. How is she able to do her job properly if she can't even act rational and calm anymore?"
Upset, Soyeon clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white and tried to say something, but quickly closed her mouth again. She knew how important the position was for Sunghee, but their leader was right.
In this state, you couldn't rely on her.
"Do what you have to do", it left Soyeon's lips sadly as she rubbed her eyes in exhaustion. "This is your decision."
Yeeun only nodded before stroking the brown hair of the girl.
"Go back to sleep, I'll talk to her tomorrow."
As if in unison, the three girls grumbled at the same time before moving in different directions, walking lazily to their own rooms.
The bloodcurdling sounds from Sunghee's room hurt them all, but they tried to block out the entire situation, leaving Sunghee with all her overwhelming and terrifying feelings alone.
