Three closed caskets lay at their graves in front of many people. The preacher saying a few words next to the caskets

"Put the flowers on the caskets." He says motioning to the people at the front holding a flower.

First 6 men went over to one casket and each put a single flower on it. They all had a sad, but serious expression.

Next went the women to a different casket. Most had tears in their eyes or streaming down their face.

Last went six kids. They each put a flower in the middle casket. None of them looking up and all sad.

"It is time to lower the caskets." Says the preacher nodding to the men on standby.

The men nod back and start lowering the caskets. They all silently watch as the caskets are brought down in to the ground.

Everything is silent until one of the men from earlier goes up to a casket and grabs some dirt. The man muttersl a few words before throwing the dirt into the casket. Other people soon follow.

They do the same with the other two until the funeral is over. People pay their respects and give condolences as they start to leave.

"We'll wait for you kids at the cars." Speaks up one of the woman from earlier after everyone has left.

The six kids nod and the adults leave.

They stand where they are for a minute before the youngest slowly starts walking to the middle casket.

"You're not dead right?" He asks no one in particular. "You're just playing a prank on us, right? Like usual, right?"

"Samuel calm down." Whispers another kid coming up to the casket as well and putting a hand on the screaming kids shoulder.

"This is just a prank right? He's going to come out of hiding and scare us, right?" Asks Samuel as tears stream down his face.

"No, I think this is for real." Says another one coming over.

"Wonwoo, Soonyoung you're kidding right?" He asks again as he wipes his tears.

"I wish." Replies Soonyoung holding back his own tears, but of course some slip out.

"Why did this have to happen?" Asks Minghao also walking over.

"Because its just like that." Says Wonwoo looking at the gravestone.

"Why is life so unfair." Cries out Seungkwan as he comes up to the grave and hugs Soonyoung, both of them crying together.

"Why couldn't it have been me?" Silently asks a soft voice.

"Seokmin no one wanted this to happen. No one should have died." Says Wonwoo turning around to face him.

"I know." Says Seokmin coming over to them.

They all silently stare at the grave in front of them. Behind them rain slowly started falling.

Noises are heard from the trees but they don't notice. Not now, not for a while.
