The sun shined through Nakamoto's curtains as he woke up and got washed up. He was the first one awake and noticed as everyone was still asleep. Nakamoto walked through the halls and went to the kitchen as he noticed that the fall leaves were flowing to the ground. He put on his coat and grabbed a broom to scoop up the leaves off the walkway.

Leaf after leaf was picked up and put in the trash. Nakamoto sat down on a bench and rested before he noticed the sound of a rope creaking. He turned around and saw the horror of Youngsoo's body being held by a rope off the balcony. The Japanese boy screamed and ran inside to alert the others. His scream echoed throughout the hallway as the others woke up. Nakamoto went immediately to Youngsoo's room and saw the open door of the balcony.

The wind flew within the curtains and a picture flew towards Nakamoto's feet. He bent down and grabbed it. He saw Youngsoo and some other guy. He examined the picture closely then turned it over.

"I guess my time has came, Taejoon. I'm visiting you... oh my god," Nakamoto read.

Asher entered the room and saw as Nakamoto held the picture, "where's Youngsoo?"

Nakamoto heard the fear in Asher's voice and said nothing but pointed outside slowly. Asher made his way to the balcony and saw the poor body hanging. He dropped to his knees and cried, "I-I can't believe it! Why!?"

Nakamoto walked towards the young French boy and gave him the picture, "I'm sorry we couldn't save him in time."

"I-I didn't even know him zat well but he was like family to me. He was ze only person I had!" Asher said crying in his strong French accent.

"I'll leave you alone," Nakamoto left the room.

Umji ran towards Nakamoto, "w-what happened? I heard crying and screaming!"

"Youngsoo committed suicide..."

"What!" Umji screamed, "there's only seven of us now!"

"I'm sorry, if only I woke up earlier!" Nakamoto cried.

SinB stood in her room silent. If only she didn't let him leave out that door.

"It's all my fault!" SinB cried, "I could've saved him!"

SinB's mind reflected back to when Youngsoo was hinting he was going to meet Taejoon. If only she wasn't being selfish and saved Taejoon before he could die. A knock was heard on sinb's door, "breakfast's ready."

SinB rushed towards the bathroom and washed her face to reduce the redness on her face from crying. She put on a new set of clothes and met the rest downstairs.

Nakamoto has made eggs for the group and soon they all ate.

Yuju and Sojung did dishes as SinB and Asher cleaned the dining area. Meanwhile Umji and Nakamoto were busy disposing of the body.
