The day when the spread of the virus started, Ha-ri had just messed up in her chance to join the national team. But even after seeing what is happening inside the campus, she had decided to stick around to find her siblings.

When she had reunited with Wu-jin and the Hwang twins, that was probably the happiest she had been her whole life. 

To know that all three of her siblings are safe. That is enough to keep her going...

But after they had reached the camp, she had found no reason to do so, nothing but her promise to Wu-jin, that she would continue to do archery.

When she lost Hyun-jin, it was hard. She may not be the closest to Hyun-jin, but they still treat each other as siblings. 

She saw how hurt Hye-ji was after losing Hyun-jin, and that had hurt her more.

The next day after that, Wu-jin was bit...while trying to save her. If she had been more aware of her surroundings, Wu-jin might still be alive right now.

After that, she had lost Hye-ji. She lost everyone that she loves. She lost her only family. She lost herself. She was lost into the darkness. 

But even in the darkness, there was a tiny little light whenever she looks at Nam-ra and On-jo. Remembering the smile on Hye-ji and Hyun-jin's faces while talking to the two. 

Now that the twins are not around anymore, she had promised to take care of the two, like what she would've take care of the twins.

All the sadness that she felt, all the guilt, she transformed it into being the pillar that Nam-ra and On-jo needed. Even though her pillars herself is already collapsing.

After hearing the news that Hye-ji might have lit a fire at the school rooftop, something in Ha-ri sparked.

After almost four months of pure darkness, she was finally able to see the light, the hope, another chance.

After seeing Hye-ji at the rooftop, she wanted to cry. Happy tears. Even simply knowing that Hye-ji is alive and still hadn't turned completely had made her happy. It gave her something that she had been looking for.

The will to fight, the will to go on. 

Unlike the others, Ha-ri was excited to open the letter. Knowing that it's something that came from Hye-ji.

To my Ha-ri unnie,

Annyeong unnie! How are you? I am still very sorry for separating you from Wu-jinnie...

I hope you are doing fine, unnie. You have to fight, okay? You have to live...because that is something that we might never experience anymore, to live, as a human.

I'm sorry for leaving you alone unnie. But then again, you are not alone, I know Jin unnie will never leave you, so don't push her away, okay? She's a good person, and we both know it.

Anyway, please, unnie, please, don't tell my parents that I am still alive, because even though I want to come back to you guys, there will still be a possibility that that may never happen.

It's better for them to think that they already lost both me and Hyun-jin than for them to assume that I am still alive, even though I'm half dead already.

I love you, unnie, so much. I hope that I can see you again. 

Anyway, I need to tell you something. Wu-jin, just like me, is a half-bie. I came back to where I left him to see that he had not turn.

He didn't want to come to the rooftop when you guys were there, because there is no guarantee that we are going to be with you guys again soon, and seeing you will make it harder for him to part ways with you. So, I'm sorry if you hadn't see him.

About Hyun-jin...he is not with us. I don't think he survived the explosion...I'm sorry unnie.

Wu-jin and I will do everything to find our way back to you guys. 

Love,

Your only sister,

Hye-ji.

Did I say that she felt the happiest when she reunited with the three back then at the storage room of the gym? 

Well, I was wrong. She is the happiest right now. Knowing that two of her siblings had survived and is still alive is enough for her. There was a tug in her heart after reading how Hye-ji is now losing hope in finding Hyun-jin, but she is too focused right now in the fact that Wu-jin is alive, and he is with Hye-ji.

She looked at the next page, only to see a messy hand writing, a penmanship that she knows well, it was Wu-jin's hand writing.

To noona,

hello, noona. I am not good at writing letters, I just want to say that I love you. And I am sorry for not going to the rooftop with Hye-ji. 

Aside from the fact that I still struggle to control my hunger for human blood, I know that I will have a hard time parting ways with you. So I'm sorry.

Noona, I'm okay, okay? So don't be guilty with anything. You didn't do anything wrong. Knowing that you are blaming yourself with what happened to me will hurt me, noona. So please, don't.

I am okay here, outside. Hye-ji had been taking a good care of me. She can actually pass as my mom now. So don't worry about us, okay? We have each other. Focus on yourself.

I hope to be with you again soon, noona. I love you, always.

Love, Wu-jin.

The paper is now soaked with her tears as her tears continued to fall down. 

'I'll be better. I'll wait for you guys, no matter how long. Just be safe, and take care of each other. The two of you are safe, that's all I need to know to k=continue leaving. I hope you find Hyun-jin and be with him as well, soon. And soon enough, all four of us will be together.'
