All for One, One for All

Ending 2 - Her New Melody

She found him after 20 minutes of searching for him. She saw him holding up the newspaper in his hand and so, she approached him. "Young Soo." Young Soo looked up from the newspaper and showed it to Min Ha. "Look! They didn't cancel the entrance exam, Min Ha!" Min Ha knew that it was an old newspaper. She put her hand on his shoulder before she said, "Young Soo, it was an old newspaper." Young Soo turned his gaze back to the newspaper and just realized Min Ha was telling the truth.

He shook his head with tears already falling down his cheeks. "No, it's not supposed to be canceled. This... this is false, Min Ha." Min Ha engulfed him in a hug, trying to calm him down. "Please, Young Soo. I know it's important for you but please, accept it. Please don't be like this." He cried even harder at that point. Min Ha pulled back from the hug and put both of her hands on his shoulders. "Young Soo, you can't do this to yourself. You care about your family, right? But what if they see you like this? They will feel sad and blame themselves for making you think like this. Please, please Yong Soo, if you don't care about your friends or yourself, then please think about your family, especially your siblings. They don't want to see you like this." Min Ha tried to rationalize with him.

"Then what if it is too late? I can't find a job and I can't help my family. I don't want to see them suffer just because we are poor. I need to change that!" Young Soo shouted at Min Ha. "Then, do you think they will be happy after you get a job and make them rich? Do you think they'll appreciate it when they'll realize that you will suffer for their wealth?" Young Soo knelt on the ground, didn't have any more strength inside of him. "I don't know what should I do. All my life I had dedicated myself to this." Min Ha crouched down in front of him. "Then think about living. Think about how to survive to meet them again. I'm pretty sure they want to see you too but not like this. Not someone who had passed his CSAT or someone that would be going to a great university and getting a good job. No, they want to see Kook Young Soo back, their big brother back, alive, to them."

Young Soo stared at Min Ha before he asked, "Can I do that?" Min Ha smiled at him before nodding. "All of us will be with you. Let's live together for another 100 years." Min Ha held his hand and it was the only comfort that Young Soo needed to move forward into the future without a need to worry about points or CSAT any longer.

They found a school when they were on the run from the amusement park as the detector showed that there were spheres near that place. They were resting in one of the classes, specifically the 3-2 class. They didn't notice how they coincidentally sat at their own place in that class. All of their clothes were wet from the rain. "I'll invent a time machine. First, I must get into Kaist or maybe Seoul National University. That would be better." Deok Joong suddenly voiced his thought out of nowhere which made everyone mock him.

"Guys, what do you want to do when we go home?" The others thought about Young Shin's question for a while. Bora then answered him with, "The first thing I'll do is soak in a hot bath and wash myself thoroughly." Ha Na nodded and agreed with her best friends. "I want to get a license when all of this is over." Il Ha also voiced his thought.

"I'll treat my parents better without getting so irritated at them." Yeon Joo said which made all of them nod. Hee Rak then told everyone how he imagined himself when he was in University which made everyone laugh at him. "What? Why are you guys laughing?" Everyone just ignored him. "I just want to meet my family." Young Soo said lowly and stared at Min Ha. She smiled at him. She watched how happy they were, talking and laughing with each other. She had successfully avoided the tragic part of the drama. She saved everyone in the 3-2 class. She looked at them one by one and she could feel tears brimming in her eyes. She did it.
