"Where is...where is... Oppa now?" 


Eunra couldn't control her tears nor her words. She stuttered, shivered, trembled.

"Chung Ah Hospital. ICU."  Minseok spoke.

Eunra took a few deep breaths and brushed the tears off her face before taking off towards the door, with her car keys.

"Eunra!" Minseok yelled, chasing after her.



Minseok and Eunra arrived at the hospital, led by the nurse, arrive at Eunbaek's room.

Eunra's steps were heavy as she entered the room.

Memories flooded in again as she recalled the time seeing her brother hospitalised when they were merely 14. But this time, Eunbaek was in a much more serious state.

His whole body was wrapped. He was on the ventilator. Both of his legs were broken and were hanged up.

Eunra fell to the ground and cried uncontrollably.

"Oppa.... how did this happen..." She hits her chest with her fist, which was suffocating her so badly.

"Eunra, get up, the floor is cold," Minseok spoke sadly, held onto her, bringing her slowly to the chair next to Eunbaek's bed.

Eunra sobs, and held onto Eunbaek's hand once again, like she had when they were 14. "Oppa I'm here, open your eyes."

But there was no reply.

Eunra could only cry. She brushes, Eunbaek's cheeks, ever so gently.

"Oppa...." She sobs. 

She took a few deep breathes before regaining her consciousness.

She sighed.

"I'm sorry, Oppa. It's my fault. I've been too gentle. Too weak. Too kind. You've warned me, but I've just ignored you."

She glared at the wall, her evil looks were back.

"I was too kind to those devils." She clenched her teeth and fist.

She turned her head slightly to Minseok who was standing next to her.

"How did this happen?"

"I have no idea. I only received a call that Eunbaek was hospitalised as they couldn't reach you after his car crashed."

Eunra closed her eyes in regret that she missed her brother's call.

"But I had already got my men to investigate on it. Don't you worry." Minseok taps on Eunra's shoulders.

Eunra sighed, and laid her hand on Minseok's hand, thanking him. "Thank you Minseok Oppa."

"I'll leave you two alone for a while, but don't stress yourself, you haven't been all well yet."

Eunra nods.

As soon as Minseok leaves, Eunra's tears fall like a waterfall again.

Her pale lips tore with her as well.

She looks at the statue like man laying before her. 

She was determined. 

"Oppa. This time, it is the point of no return."
