"My tears are always frozen.
I can see the air I breathe."
           Winter bird, Aurora.

They didn't know how to react to the letter. Was it really goodbye or was it just incase she died? They even wondered if maybe she planned it all out. They all shed tears while reading it but Eunha's tears seemed to be frozen. She looked unfazed but they knew that underneath that cold expression of hers was a dying soul inside.

Yuju was the one to hold Eunbi tight in her arms to calm her down. Out of all of them, Eunbi was crying and screaming the most. Yuju was afraid that Eunbi would rip her sleeves off because she held on tightly to them while slowly falling to her knees.

Umji and Yuju both wrapped their comforting arms around Eunbi while Eunha stood there looking more angrier than ever. Her whole body was twitching.

"I'm going home..." Eunha said quietly. She looked at the letter one last time before leaving.

"Me and Umji will go get her. You should go talk to Yerin and make sure she's okay, and make sure to get rid of the gun for her." Eunbi wiped her tears away and cleared her throat. She handed Yuju the keys to Sowon's car and her and Umji went after Eunha.

"Why me?" Yuju asked but Eunbi ignored her. She had no choice but to check up on Yerin.

By the time she got outside the other three were out of sight. She got in Sowon's car and wiped the few tears she had left on her cheeks. She started the engine and made her way to Yerin's house.

As she got closer and closer she wondered how she'd confront Yerin about her depression. She doesn't want to accidentally say something that could be hurtful but she also didn't know what to say. Would it be awkward?

Before she knew it she was already pulling in backwards into Yerin's empty driveway. She could feel her hands begin to sweat as she got out of the car and walked to the porch. With one quiet knock the door flung open.

"Yuju..." Yerin stood there.

"Hey!" Yuju smiled. Just because Yerin broke up with her didn't mean things had to be awkward. They're still friends. "Sowon wanted me to...I'm not really sure how to say this, okay? So I'm just gonna be straightforward and please don't get mad at me...but I need the gun and letter that you wrote." Yuju held out her hand. Yerin stood there frozen stiff staring at Yuju.

"How does she know?"

"Well she said it in a goodbye letter she wrote. Just give me the stuff and I'll be on my way."

"Wait, what? She's leaving? To where? Let me see the letter." Yerin asked.

"I don't have it right now. It's at Sowon's house." Yuju said.

"Stay here. I'll throw the letter away and let Sowon have the gun, take me to her place right now though." Yerin said before running upstairs to get the letter and gun. While she did that Yuju went back to Sowon's car to start it.

"I'm happy now so don't worry about me." Yerin said with a smile as she got inside the car.

"I can tell, I'm happy for you. Rush hour just started so it'll take longer to get there." Yuju said while turning up the volume to the random song.

"I'm sorry if things are a little awkward between us." Yerin kept her gaze out the window while fidgeting with her fingers.

"No need to be sorry. I don't think it's awkward." Yuju shrugged.

"So is there anything I need to know about why Sowon left? Was it SinB? You guys know she'll be back, right? She just needs a break." Yerin said, not realizing how important it was or what the letter even said.

"Yerin, we've been keeping something from you lately. Well there's a few secrets we have to share with you. I don't think the others will agree with me sharing the secrets with you but I believe you have a right to know. You're our best friend and we should trust you and not exclude you. We know you'll be okay with it so I don't know why none of us hasn't told you yet." Yuju explained. She was about to reveal all their secrets until she noticed everyone getting out of their car and looking up at the bridge, "Yerin, call 911." Yuju swiftly got out of the car and ran about 25 feet to get closer to the bridge. It was all too familiar, Umji and SinB's loud voices and Eunha's dark black hair.

"Get down from there right now!" Yuju could hear Eunbi and Umji yelling at Eunha to stop playing around on the railing of the bridge.

"Don't come close or I'll jump." Eunha warned. It's not like Eunbi and Umji keeping their distance was gonna keep her from jumping because she was still going to.

"Eunha look at me, okay? We won't move a muscle, just please get down from there." Eunbi said as she and Umji took a few steps back.

"I don't want to run with the wolves anymore. I'm so exhausted from it. I'm torn and no longer useable. I want to go now. I can't live without her, you'll never understand that." Eunha said as she held tightly onto the railing while looking down at the bottom that seemed so far away but was only 80 feet down.

"What do you mean?" Umji asked.

"I just keep getting hurt and I don't want to be in pain anymore...so let's end it here." Eunha turned back and smiled. The sirens kept getting louder which meant they were getting closer but they knew help wouldn't make it in time. They prayed it would but nothing ever seemed to go their way.

Yerin stayed outside the car and watched in horror like everyone else. Horns kept going off by impatient assholes but no one dared to move.

"Eunha I promise-"

"I'm free." Eunha's fingertips slowly began to loosen around the only thing that was keeping her from falling.

"Eunha!" Everything flashed before her eyes. In the blink of an eye, Eunha was falling deeper and deeper. Eunbi ran at her as fast as she could but not even her wolf speed was able to get her there fast enough to where her fingertips could brush against Eunha's gray jacket.

With no time to react, Yuju ran. She was guaranteed to not make it. Of course the ambulance arrived as Eunha was in mid air with a huge smile on her face and her arms spread out wide.

All the horrific scenarios raced through Yuju's mind and drove her to go faster. She had never ran so fast, it was like running through time while everyone else was stuck in slow motion. Only a few seconds and Eunha's blood would splatter everywhere around her.

Yuju took one last massive stride and slid along the floor, all the screaming echoing in her sensitive ears. Eunha's smile suddenly turned to a dark expression.

There she laid miserably in Yuju's weak arms. Sowon always saved her life and Eunha would always thank her but this time it was Yuju who saved her and now Eunha would hate her for it.

Yuju's arms were shaking from the heavy force crashing into her arms. The police tried taking Eunha from Yuju's arms but she wouldn't budge. She held her tighter and whispered positive words into her ear.

"It hurts like I'm dying."
