Kim Rok Soo, who once was known as Cale Henituse, was sitting on the couch. 

His niece was still on a school trip. Today was also his day off, which was why he was alone in this big house. 

Kim Rok Soo was bored. He swept his gaze around the room, wondering if he should read some novels or... 

A guitar located on a shelf caught his attention. He stood up and took the guitar. 

Examining the guitar if it is broken or not, strumming the strings to hear if it is on the right tone, adjusting it if it's not. 

After making sure the guitar was working well, Kim Rok Soo started singing. 

He also started reminiscing about the past when he was still Cale Henituse. 


Lately, I've been feeling so ashamed

By these thoughts, I'm hiding in my brain


A sixteen years old Cale can be seen in his bedroom. It's dark since it's currently nighttime. 

He was blankly staring at the moon, currently peeking at the curtained window. 


'Cause I've been holding them down, but they twist me violently


He again looks back at the shards of broken alcohol glass scattered on the floor. 

"How I hope that trash would disappear. "

He grips the blanket tightly. Repeatedly telling himself that being alive is the best and that killing himself would never solve anything, not like he plans to solve it. 


I'm hanging by a thread tonight, but this time I don't wanna be saved (saved)


A 30-year-old Cale can be seen sitting on a rock while holding a bottle of alcohol. 

He was in the middle of a forest far away from the camp. He took out a piece of garment from his pouch. 

He has taken a piece of Lily's garment. He wanted something to remember, something to hold on to. 

But, he knew he was falling, falling to the bottomless abyss. He doesn't care either way. 


So let me fall, let me break

Under everything unsaid

Just let me die 'cause I can't take

Living with what's in my head

If I surrender, surrender


The moonlight illuminates Cale's surroundings. His image can now be clearly seen. 

His body was littered with scars, bruises, a messy and unkempt hair. His posture represents his high status, but you can clearly feel the dark and gloomy aura surrounding him. 

Cale was now wondering, should he surrender to the war that's currently happening inside his mind? 


To the monsters in me

If I surrender, surrender

To the monsters in me
