"Soobin hyung where's Byeol?" Beomgyu just arrived on their Magic Island, asking Soobin for not seeing Byeol. He only saw Soobin, Yeonjun, Taehyun and Kai sitting by the tree. "Kai you come here?"

"Byeol went with Grandma, and Kai, I brought him here. It's okay, right?"

"It's okay Soobin hyung." Beomgyu then walked up to Byeol's flowers and started doing his routine to take care of those flowers.

His friends who saw him were right up close to him. Watch Beomgyu with keen care of the flowers. Beomgyu looked very happy when he took care of the flower.

"I see you're still diligent in these flowers." "I see you still take good care of these flowers diligently." Soobin who still watches Beomgyu, amazed at Beomgyu who never forgot to care for Byeol's flowers.

"Don't say like that hyung, since Byeol isn't here. So I was thinking of helping her take care of this flower. I've already promised byeol anyway."

"That's true, Byeol must be sad if this flower is not treated. I can't even imagine it." Soobin's words stunned Taehyun and Yeonjun. They don't want Byeol to be sad either. Their hands are automatically directly helped Beomgyu take care of the flowers.

Soobin and Kai who saw Taehyun and Yeonjun finally joined them. And eventually they all took care of the flowers together.

"Well, I didn't know caring for flowers could get this tired. How could you do it yourself, Beomgyu?" They had finished with their flower care. Yeonjun was exhausted, and he was amazed with Beomgyu who could do it on his own and almost daily.

"I don't do it myself, sometimes Soobin hyung helps me. And also I do it while thinking about how Byeol feels. The thought of Byeol happy at the sight of flowers excites me."

"Hey... Choi Beomgyu, I'm glad you care so much about my sister. But didn't you just sound weird? Don't think about anything of my sister."

Heard Yeonjun's words, Beomgyu's face turned red. He realized maybe what he said was a little weird and made people misunderstand when they heard it. "It's not like that Yeonjun hyung. I never thought of anything weird. And I never will. I apologize if my words make you uncomfortable."

"Next time watch your mouth." Yeonjun warned Beomgyu. Beomgyu can only bow down to feel guilty.

"Hyung, don't be too hard on Beomgyu. You know Byeol would be mad at you if she knew you were scolding Beomgyu."

"Yah... Kang Taehyun, now you're defending Choi Beomgyu?"

"I'm not defending anyone hyung. We're all friends here. And if we fight each other who will be sad? It's Byeol who will be sad." Everyone fell silent from taehyun's words. He's right, byol will be sad to see them feuded.

"I agree with taehyun, all we have to remember is keeping Byeol's feeling. We all start out as strangers and not close. But Byoel in her unique way can lead us here. So we wouldn't have destroyed what he worked so hard to build." Soobin's words made his friends speechless and reflect on what he said..

Kai who's been watching them. Be amazed at what his friends did for Byeol. "You all really love Byeol." made everything turn straight to Kai after hearing what he said.

They then remember how they met Byeol for the first time. How Byeol has changed their lives without them realizing it.

"Of course kai, she's the one who drives away the loneliness that always envelops me. When I no longer recognized myself, when I stood between that cold sneer and loneliness where nobody could understand, she came to me. Save me before I gave up. When she called my name, I felt complete." Soobin remembered the moment when Byeol kept bugging him, Soobin got used to Byeol's presence and got him out of his lonely world.

"She also made me forget my fears. The pain that kept coming out of my head. But her existence change my life. I'm not in pain anymore." Beomgyu is grateful that he met Byeol who made him so happy that he didn't remember the pain he used to feel.

"She makes me no longer feel like the bad thing in the world. Treated my pain as if she felt the same pain as me. My heart that rumbled and scrambled was gone after she came like magic." Taehyun who has changed a lot since meeting up with Byeol. So happy with the change in him. He feels that Byeol has made his life more meaningful.

"When I had no one, when people treated me like a monster. He fearlessly approached me. His presence before my eyes has saved me." Yeonjun felt that Byeol has saved him but before he can no longer control himself and turn into a monster. He's glad he's back as he was.

"And she was the savior who found me deserted." Kai remembered his heart who was broken until he met Byeol who brought him back to himself.

After hearing one by one of their stories, what they felt about Byeol. And what Byeol means to them. They're looking at each other. The silence enveloped them. They couldn't believe how they all ended up together there.

"We all have a grim story here and live our lives in sorrow before meeting Byeol." Soobin then spoke and turned to Yeonjun.

"At first people were avoiding us because they saw something strange and different in us." Yeonjun continued and turned to Taehyun.

"Until we finally met Byeol, she who can accept us with all the bad things that are with us." Taehyun then turned to Beomgyu.

"Because of her, we made that bad thing into a crown that made us love ourselves and feel perfect." And Beomgyu finally turned to Kai.

"Hearing your words makes me realize that we have one dream." Kai is looking at them all.

"Always together until tomorrow and so on." They all say it together.

"So we must keep our dreams, because that's what makes Byeol happy, and Byeol's happiness is our happiness." Everyone agrees with what Soobin said.

There, under that tree they all promised to keep their dreams.
