Author's PoV

Days and weeks had past and finally Jumi visited them, bringing VIXX's manager his favorite soup and a lot of homecook food. A lot has happened but VIXX did not notice her sad, bitter smile that she sometimes do. Especially when there's a particular subject that connects to her family.

She excused herself and went out of the door, not noticing that Ravi had followed her.

She rode the elevator while Ravi used the stairs, going up until the rooftop, just as he saw on which floor Jumi would hop off the elevator.

As she reached the rooftop, she let out a sigh. She chuckled bitterly and inhaled the fresh air, looking up the clear sky. Getting more and more sad. Her gaze towards the people below was emotionless, but her eyes says it all.

"Funny how I'm the only one who haven't lied down the hospital bed yet."

"What do you mean?" Ravi finally spoke behind her, making her slightly stiff for a second. "Wonshikie...you surprised me." she whispered. She smiled sadly, she can't deny the truth now that Ravi knows she has been hiding bottling all her problems to herself.

"You can't bottle everything up to yourself Jumi, you have to sometimes let it out. You know that." Ravi said seriously. "I know...but I can't bear people giving me those pitiful looks, they comfort but they can't take away the pain." Jumi said.

"It may not take away the pain but it can lessen, pain is temporary." Ravi explained, making her to finally tell him her problems. "I'm sorry. I lied one time when Hongbin called me. I was actually in front of our family's hospital." she started.

"My mom and dad had a comatose due to a car accident. They where on a vacation while I stayed at home, letting them have a date. Sunmi unnie was the inheritor of the hospital, the responsibility was placed in her hands."

"I called them on the night before their departure because I grew scared alone in the house and I was pretty much not used to being alone. So that night they must've worried about me and decided to come back home earlier."

"But the weather was so bad that time; lightning striking from above, rain pouring down hard. The road became slippery and it wasn't safe, the next day the news featured my parents' accident. I knew I was the cause of their accident. I should've never called them so they wouldn't have been worried about me and go through that kind of weather." Jumi finished, sobbing uncontrollably.

Ravi hugged her and patted her back gently, sometimes rubbing her back. "I was even the cause of my unnie's death." Jumi sobbed. "But you said your Sunmi unnie--" "But I never told you about my Ruri unnie, right?" Jumi had cut him off, making the latter silent.

"Ruri unnie... is my second unnie. She died because of me too. If only I hadn't agreed on going in the botique then the owner of the boutique won't discover me, if the owner never had discovered me then my Ruri unnie wouldn't get upset."

"If only my unnie wasn't mad them she had noticed the light turned red and never crossed the road and pushed us away then she wouldn't be hit by the car but if only I had held and pulled her faster then she wouldn't have..." Jumi finally broke into tears and fell down, Ravi squatted down and hugged her, whispering the words 'all that happened wasn't your fault, don't blame yourself.'.

"Even my Sunmi unnie had an attack recently."

After awhile, she had stopped crying and Ravi stayed by her side. "Gomawoyo, Wonshikie." Jumi uttered. "Cheonmaneyo." Ravi replied and they went back to VIXX's dorm together.

As they came back, the others immediately asked them.

"Where were you?"

"What did you do?"

"What happened?"

"Why are your eyes puffy Jumi?"

She laughed softly and they suddenly grew quiet, waiting for her to answer. "Well, Jumi wanted to inhale some fresh air and I silently followed her because I wanted to eat mandarins without you guys. She decided to have a taste and suddenly the juice squirted into her eyes, so yeah..." Ravi lied. Jumi looked at him with a thankful look.

"Plus, I accidentally caught dirt in my eyes. I guess my eyes are having a such unlucky day." she lied. Though she doesn't like to lie, she had to do it.

"I'm sorry if I made you boys worry." Jumi apologized

"Well, as long as you're back in one piece, then it's alright." N said.

"Did I hear One Piece?" Ken shouted from behind them.

"Hyung!" Hyuk hollered.

"Just kidding!" Ken said and made a peace sign, doing aegyo again.
