"Police are currently shutting down the main bridge, causing a huge traffic jam as ambulances pull on scene-"

"This is one of the worst traffic jam in history as of today-"

"Ambulances and a crane pull onto the scene, people are seen diving into the ocean, people are still unsure of what exactly is going on-"

"We are live here at the bridge where police are investigating and people are searching in the water. There are people seen over there giving their statements, hopefully shortly after, we will be able to know wat is going on."

"Officer, can you please explain to us what is happening."
"No questions, please."

"It seems that they are pulling out a dead body from the ocean."

-

"Late last night, the body of nineteen year old Jeong Yusoi was being pulled out of the ocean. Witnesses claim to be driving by, seeing her jump from the bridge. Some pulled over and calling the police."

"The late Jeong Yusoi was a student attending Saebom, who recently only went back to school after successfully overcoming heart surgery regarding conditions that she has had since she was three."

Bouquets of flowers were gently placed onto the side of the bridge, where a picture of Jeong Yusoi sits, along with a few candles and notes on the side. Jugyeong emerged from the crowd, her eyes red and swollen. Suho comes from behind her, also carrying a bouquet of flowers. She turns and cries into his shoulder. Suho rubs her back before she turns and lays the flowers gently onto the ground, Suho following. Jugyeong reaches into her pocket and pulls out an envelope with a heart sticker keeping it closed. On the front it reads: "To the one who protected me, Yusoi."

"Seojun." Jugyeong says as she turns her head.

Seojun walks over to where they were, not taking his eyes off of the picture of Yusoi. He looks at Jugyeong with tears in his eyes. She moves to give him a hug, Seojun crying into her shoulder.

"Why would she do it?" Seojun cries.

"I don't know." Jugyeong whispers weakly.

He lets go of the hug and kneels down to Yusoi's picture. He looks at it, heartbroken. He sighs as his head falls.

"I'm so sorry." He whispers. He looks up at the picture, tears sliding down his cheeks. "You're the one I love."

A scream erupts amongst the crowd. Seojun, along with everyone else, turn their attention towards the scream. Seojun stands up as someone pushes their way harshly through the crowd. It was Haeun. She stops and begins to sob at the picture. She falls to her knees.

"My baby... my baby girl." She cries.

People begin to whisper.

"Shut your mouth." Seojun says through his teeth.

She looks up at him.

"Excuse me?" She asks.

Seojun steps closer to her, grabbing her shirt and lifting her off of the ground.

"I said shut your mouth!" He screams in her face.

She tries to fight him off, but his grip only becomes stronger.

"Do you not understand what a shitty person you were to her? Are you not able to come to terms with that face that you are scum?" He yells, shaking her a bit.

She looks at him furiously.

"I did the best I could." She seethes.

He scoffs. He lets go of her, Haeun dusting herself off.

"You didn't do anything. You left her behind. You broke her heart. You did nothing but watch her die!" He screams.

"She lived in shambles with her dad and when she finally starts to become happy, you reveal just how much you could care less about her." Jugyeong chimes in. "You killed her." She cries, looking at Haeun with disgust.

Haeun looks around, enduring glares from everyone around her.

"You should be thrown in jail for child neglect; you left her to die!" Jugyeong screams.

The people begin to whisper.

"You know nothing. Nothing!" Haeun yells back, turning to walk away.

She pushes herself once more through the crowd, stumbling with each step she takes.

"Rot in hell." Seojun mumbles under his breath.

Yusoi's POV

My eyes dart open as I gasp for air. I sit up, pursuing in a coughing fit. I hit my chest, hoping to get some sort of relief from the burning feeling in my lungs. Splashes of water come from my mouth. I try to catch my breath. I look around, just now realizing I was sitting in nothing but darkness. I squint my eyes, as if that's going to make anything more visible.

"Hello?" I call out.

My voice echo's for a few seconds, my head continues to look around. I stand up, almost slipping because every inch of me was wet.

"Is anyone there?" I call out once more.

I begin walking cautiously, trying to avoid bumping into anything. It was cold. Extremely cold. Like any second now, I could automatically turn into ice. I shiver and rub my arms for warmth. I walk a little further, getting startled when a loud 'boom' is heard. I shield my eyes and turn to see a small speck of light grow huge. I squint, seeing a figure emerge from within. I walk closer, my eyes becoming used to the light, causing me to stop squinting. I stop.

"Dad?"
