Deep inside Wheein's mind, she always thought what it's like to be like her sister, in fact she made Yongsun her role model, but it was never easy for her to look up to Yongsun, in fact there were times she became jealous of her because she was always given attention by their aunt & uncle, but Wheein pushed those feelings aside because she loved her sister very much. Everything was normal in their house.

Until one afternoon, which was unlike any other day. Wheein was silently working on a drawing of her & Yongsun, meanwhile Yongsun was busy tidying up the living room, their uncle was busy sweeping the frontyard & their aunt was out running errands in the market.

Moments later, a familiar person came upon their front yard, although their uncle did not recognize him at first since the man was wearing a hood and a mask to cover his face. "W-Who are you?! What are you doing he-" The uncle was then stabbed in the chest & was left lifeless. "Take him away....he's not needed in this..." The man said to his other jail mates who've escaped from prison along with him. 

He then barged through the door and grabbed Yongsun's arm, "You're coming with me" The man said, it turned out to be their father, who was now a criminal running from the law. "Wh-Who are you?! Let me go!" Yongsun screamed at the top of her lungs. Wheein then overheard the noise & immediately spotted their father. The man held on to Yongsun tightly & suddenly heavy rain started to pour. 

"Why won't you just shut up?! You're really hard headed aren't you?!" The father said as he pointed a gun towards the young girl. 

"D-Dad?! Don't you dare hurt my sister! Where's uncle? Uncle! Uncle! Help us please!" Wheein cried out, banging on the window. "Your stupid uncle can't hear you now, at least for a long time..." The father said as he pointed to their uncle's cold body. Both of them screamed in fear of what their father could do to them.

"Why did you have to do that dad?! He did nothing wrong!" Yongsun said crying immensely. "You two never learned how to shut up don't you?! Then I'll have to shut you up myself!" The father then dragged Yongsun outside. "Yongsun-unnie!" Wheein cried out while her tears poured down her face.

"I wish mom lived instead of you! You should be the one put to rest!" Yongsun said which made her father even more furious. "Oh is that how you act now?! Well then, this serves you right!" The father said as he shoved her inside an old wooden cabinet and placed a lock he found near  by. "Get me out of here!!" Yongsun screamed at the top of her lungs while banging on the door. "That'll shut you up in no time...and now for the other one..." The father said as he barged into the house & broke down the door of Wheein's room. "Now...you're all alone..." The father said throwing away his gun & came closer towards Wheein. "What have you done to my sister?" Wheein said with a terrified look, "Why don't you join her, wouldn't that be fun?" The father then grabbed her & started hurting her. "Let me go! Unnie was right! Mom should have lived instead of you! You're the one who should be dead!" Wheein said as she got to escape her father's grip & looked for her sister. "Unnie! Where are you?!" "Wheein? Wheein! Get me out of here!" Police sirens then sounded across the street. "We have to get out of here! Let's go!" The men said as they ran out of the house along with the girls' father. "What about him?" "We'll bury him somewhere far! Let's get out of here!" The father said.

"Wheein! Help me!" Just then, the wooden door of the cabinet swung open & Yongsun hugged Wheein tightly until Wheein fell unconscious. "No.....no...this can't be happening...." Yongsun said as she carried her sister inside the house & wrapped her with towels. "U-Unnie...I feel so weak..." Wheein suddenly murmured. "We're gonna get help Whee, don't worry"

"Neighbors! Anyone! Please! Help me!" Yongsun shouted, just then Taehyung came. "Yongsun, why're you letting yourself get wet in the rain?" Taehyung said, "No time for that, you gotta help me.." Yongsun said as she grabbed Taehyung's wrist & led him inside. "Wh-Wheein? What happened?" Taehyung said as he wrapped the towel around Wheein & caressed her hair. "It's a long story...but we need to call the medics.." Yongsun said with a worried expression.

Just then, their aunt arrived at their house, "Wh-What happened here?" She said as she spotted puddles of blood on the concrete floor. "Wheein? Yongsun?" Their aunt cried out, "Auntie! We need to call the medics!" Taehyung said. "Taehyung? What are you doing here? What happened to Wheein?" "It's a long story auntie, but we need to get to the hospital, Wheein's starting to become cold evey second." Yongsun said as they all rushed to the hospital.

As they arrived at the hospital, their neighbor who worked as a doctor there immediately checked upon Wheein, "We'll do the best we can.." He said.

Moments later, "Her vitals are weakening!" "Her immune system is going down!" The nurses said. Wheein then reached out her hand, "Un....nie.." Yongsun then ran towards her weak sister until she was stopped by one of the nurses. "Don't block the child! Let her be with her sister....for her final moments.."

"Wheein-ah..." Yongsun said as she held her sister's hand tightly. "I.....love....you..." Wheein said as her hand dropped unconscious. A flat line then sounded across the room.

"We did everything we could....we're sorry for your loss.." The doctor said as the aunt cried. Yongsun cried even more knowing her sister was now gone that she could've done something to save her, but it was too late.
