"run Chaeyoung run!"

"Chaeyoung hide here!"

"Chaeyoung! Pass me the ball!"

She keeps on running until she reaches a dead end, she looks to her back but it's not her home. It's a white place where she keeps on running. She stops while panting so hard "mother? Father? Jeongyeon-ah?! Dahyun?! Where are you?" She walks but then blood has slowly come after her.

Her hands are shivering "Blood.. blood!"

"You can't run away Chaeyoung"

A voice laugh inside the white room

"Chaeyoung! Please wake up!" Mina tried to Wake up the younger girl but Chaeyoung is not moving.

"Chaeyoung do you want to play with us?"

"I am Tzuyu and you are?"

She shakes hands with Tzuyu "I am Chaeyoung, where are you from?"

"I came from Onux, how about you?"

"I came from Eros! We can play here!"

Mina keeps on Shaking Chaeyoung body but the girl isn't responding.

"You want to come with us?"

Mina saw that Chaeyoung lift her right hand and she speak "I want to come with you"

Mina widens her eyes and her tears are slowly falling "No! Don't leave me Chaeyoung!!" She once again shakes the younger one's body and this time Chaeyoung woke up with a tear in her eyes.

"What happened, why are you crying?" She said in a husky voice

"You said that you want to come with them that's why I panic!"

Chaeyoung wipes Mina's tears "Don't worry I will stay with you, please don't cry. I am already here" Mina held Chaeyoung's hand "Please stay"

Another day, Chaeyoung decides to walk alone on the riverside. The leaves are falling that's why she feels lonely. She seated under the tree.

While questioning her existence a butterfly came to her shoulders, it last long for about 5 seconds and afterward it fly away from her.

"Is that you Jeongyeon?"

She chuckled as the butterfly flies around her, she lifts her index finger and the butterfly stands into it. "Your wings look unique it's green? This is my first time to say something like this" the butterfly flies away

Chaeyoung fish out her papers and she started to paint, she paints the butterfly that she saw earlier "This is beautiful" she stroke her right hand from left to right and after a few minutes she is already done.

She stood up and she goes back to her palace, while she is walking the butterfly keeps on following her. She passed by a street where Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Dahyun, Tzuyu, Nayeon, Sana, Momo, and her playing outside and that is very peaceful at that time, no wars, no misunderstanding, it's just full of love with each other.

Chaeyoung arrived at her palace but it feels different there are no people who are supporting her behind her back, it just feels empty, she feels empty.

She seats to her throne and she saw that no one is there only the guards and servants who are assisting the highness.

"So this is what it feels like to be alone"
