While flying to the exit of the sadness world, Changbin noticed Yoongi's stare focused on Jeongin.

After landing safely on the ground, the devil approached the boy and looked him in the eyes before cracking a smile:

- I knew I recognize your face from somewhere. You are the widow! I was there at the funeral and you're words broke me.

Jeongin's confused look made reminded Yoongi that he wasn't supposed to reveal anything from their past lives, but it was already too late. Changbin went to Jeongin and engulfed him into a tight hug knowing the boy was about to experience a painful flashback.

Flashback from Jeongin's first life:

-Jeongin, please come out of there! It's been days! You haven't eaten anything. I am worried! Please, Jeongin! yells Seungmin through the locked door.

Suddenly Minho and Changbin arrive in a rush to help.

-Innie, come here now! We can help you! shouts Minho while knocking aggressively in the wood piece.

-I.N-ah, I'm begging you, adds Changbin with a small pitiful voice.

-What are we gonna do, hyung? asks Seungmin who already reached his point of desperation.

Minho puts his arms on Seungmin's shoulder trying to soothe him and Changbin started caressing his back.

-He needs time...says Minho on the verge of tears. We all do... Jisung hasn't go out of house either. I can barely make him eat. He got skinnier and weaker.

-Felix goes everyday at his grave with flowers and talk to the gravestone, says Changbin with his eyes covered by the hat. It's getting worse...Everyone online calls Jeongin "the widow" after what happened at the funeral.

Right then the door opens with a long cracking sound and Jeongin's red eyes see the light of the day for the first time in four days. There are no more tears left to shed because of the dehydration. His hair is messy, he has bags under his lifeless eyes and his smile is one of pure pain with his jaw clenched.

He goes straight to Minho and digs his face in his neck crock. Minho hugs the younger carefully, afraid to broke his fragile state.

-Hyung, I promise I will live for him and for all of you. You are all I have left, says Jeongin squinting his eyes as searching for some tears to wash his sadness off his cheeks.

Minho breaks once again into tears, followed by Changbin's sobs and Seungmin's gesture of hiding his face in a towel.

They had a group hug that last forever and they promised to take care of each other until the day they die, as the deceased one would wish.

Back to present

Yoongi led them to the next world, then disappeared as fast as he appeared in front of them at the first gate. He did tell them that another guardian will be waiting for them in the land of Nostalgia. Changbin nodded in agreement and entered first the new world.

The place was resembling a room with mirror walls. They could see their reflection everywhere. The floor was made of mirror too. Only a ray of shine was travelling the room blinding the group. When they opened their eyes, they saw a devil standing in front of there and waving nonchalantly at them. He was tall, with dark curly hair, some sunglasses, all dressed in black and his wings were huge. He was smirking while making a gesture to Changbin to give him something as a reward for being their guide.

-Do you want me to bribe you? 

-That's how things work here, says Taehyung lowering his glasses on his nose to take a good sight of Changbin.
