Saeyoung's home
Seoul, Korea

"(Y/N)?"

"Yeah?"

"Saeyoung.. what did he tell you when.." Saeran suddenly stopped talking, and his tears were spilling out again.

(Y/N) walked over to Saeran, hugging him, rubbing his back.

"He told me how much he cared for you. Saeyoung told me that I should take care of you. Of course, why wouldn't I? You're like a younger brother." She smiled.

"He..did?" Saeran sniffled, not understanding why he was letting a girl like her, comfort him.

"Yeah.. Saeyoung.. he cared for you, so much." (Y/N) whispered, as she was now crying.

"I don't understand. Why would you care for a person like me? All I've ever wanted was my brother to be dead. But I've changed.. I realized that I love my brother just as much as he loves me. And now when I needed him most.. He leaves me..again." Saeran smiled weakly and sobbed.

(Y/N) pulled him closer and the two of them let out their emotions.

A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door.

(Y/N) gets up, walking over to the door and opens it. Surprised, she greets Vanderwood.

"Hey. How have you been holding up?" He asked, smiling a bit.

"Getting better.. it's nice to see you." (Y/N) stepped away from the door, letting Vanderwood inside.

"Hi, Vandy." Saeran snickered, knowing that he hated the nickname.

"Hey, Saeran." Vanderwood rolled his eyes, but then walked over to shake his hand.

"What brings you here today, Vanderwood?" (Y/N) asks and sits beside Saeran.

"I brought you two gifts. Here." Vanderwood gave a large bag to (Y/N) and Saeran.

"Candy? Sweets? And.. smoothies?" (Y/N)'s eyes widened and smiled.

"Lollipops! My favorite.." Saeran smiled for the first time, which caused Vanderwood and (Y/N) to go quiet.

"I hope you two like it." Vanderwood laughed and ruffled Saeran's hair.

"Of course. We love it." (Y/N) smiled and hugged Vanderwood.

"I appreciate it, Vandy.." Saeran grinned.

Vanderwood and (Y/N) pulls away from each other and the three of them start to talk and converse, they spoke to each other naturally and comfortably, for the first time—in a long time, since Saeyoung's death—could they really talk and have a proper conversation with laughter and smiles.

They continued to talk together later into the night; And (Y/N) was happy that the three of them could be like this together.

"Vanderwood, don't you have some work to do?" (Y/N) asked, knowing how busy and uptight the job was. Ever since she was with Seven, she had to get used to the fact that he would have to work long hours and spend even some days not being able to speak to her because he couldn't lose his focus for even a second. But she didn't mind, because she knew the reasons why he had to do it, and it was important to him. (Y/N) smiled softly at the thought of Saeyoung, knowing he would've been happy that the three of them were spending time.

"Yeah, but the boss gave me a break, which doesn't happen very often. Honestly, he was understanding, considering Seven was our best agent out there. He cared for him like a son, too." Vanderwood replied, taking another lick of the lollipop in his hand.
