it's been five days, Sunghoon is sitting in the room, wearing his black suit. He is numb, he is numb from the pain and is just staring onto the ground. not realising people are passing by.

He gets thrown back to reality when he hears loud sniffles and crying sounds.
"Mr. and Mrs. Kim." Horang greets Euras dad and her mother with a 90° bow. She is also crying but she makes sure everyone gets greeted.

Horang and Haru talk a bit with her parents, giving their condolences.

Her Mom, Yoohyun just sitting and staring at Euras picture. Yoohyun can't even cry, it feels like a dream, a nightmare. Her one and only daughter being taken away from her. Isn't life unfair?

Jaeyoung, her dad, was looking around the room. Sunghoon spotted him walking to Euras Mom but he stopped him.

"Mr. Kim," Sunghoon speaks up in a low voice, standing in front of him.

Jaeyoung looks just as numb as Sunghoon, dark circles under the eyes, worn out and completely old. He knew life isn't a wish-granting-factory but also he thought it wasn't fair.

Sunghoon slowly gets on his knees, to kneel down in front of him. He lowers his face, rubbing his hands and begging for forgiveness, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry for not taking care of your daughter, and that I couldn't save her." He begs in a low voice between the sobs.

Mr. Kim is flabbergasted. Seeing Sunghoon kneeling in front of him, begging and praying for forgiveness, for something he hadn't done?

That's not correct. The one apologizing should be the one who hit her.

Mr. Kim gets down on his height, cupping his face. Sunghoons eyes are still fixed on the ground. He doesn't dare- he isn't worth it, to look into his eyes.

"Sunghoon," tears are running down his face, and Sunghoons sobs are heard loudly, "look at me." He immediately shakes his head, "I can't afford looking into your eyes." He mumbles.

Jaeyoung makes a loud disagreeing sound, "You can, it isn't your fault." He pauses for a minute, "My daughter," His eyes fall behind on Euras picture, "my daughter should've been careful. You did nothing wrong, Sunghoon. You were just in love." He pulls him into a hug.

The dad silently crying and Sunghoon sobbing audibly loud. "I still do." He mumbles between them, "I still love her." Mr. Kim just nods and strokes his hair, "I know my son, I know." Both of them were crying in the middle of the room while others were standing at Euras picture.

"You should go home, Sunghoon. You need to get back." Bora and Haru try to convince him. Since the burial, he's been staying at Boras house.

He can't do it. Knowing her clothes are still in his closet, the bed still has her scent on it, her make-up everywhere in the bathroom. Every little corner in his room reminds him of her.

Sunghoon shakes his head slowly. He's too weak to talk.

They all gathered in Boras apartment to bring Sunghoon back onto his feet. While they stayed there Bora also told them about Sarang. Which could be the reason he's not doing anything.

"You haven't eaten nor drank something in a week! You're also going to die if you keep doing that!" Bora now exclaims as he looks up to her. Sunghoons eyes get teary again, following small tears to fall out of them. "I wish to die at this point then." He answers out of the blue, burying his face in his crossed arms which were laying on his thighs.
