"But I know she's happy now, wherever she is. It's time to pay for my sins to you. So forgive me if I'll do this. I just want to end my suffering, besides no one will cry." I was puzzled for a moment until he grabbed my shoulder and pointed a gun at my head.

"It's fake, don't worry." He whispered to me.

"Stop this, we can help you!" I argued.

"It's fine, Yuri. I won't be happy if I'll stay on this world. I need to pay for my sins and the payment I know I can give is my life." I heard weakness in his voice.

"Forgive me, Yuri." He said softly before he heaved a sigh.

"Come out! I know you're all in there!" He shouted but no one came out.

"Come out or I'll kill this girl!" A bunch of people stepped out, including my cousin.

"Give her to us!" Summer-unni pointed the gun at his head.

"No!" He argued.

"Give her while I'm being nice!" I heard her gun clicked.

"Unni! Stop! Don't shoot him!" I shouted while shaking my head furiously.

"Give her to us! Now!" Summer-unni gritted her teeth.

"Unni! Please! Don't shoot him!" I pleaded.

"I'm sorry, Yuri. Forgive me."

Then a loud bang was heard.

I watched his body fell on the ground. A bullet on his forehead.

"Finally, peace..." I heard him whisper then his chest rested. I cried at the view.

Police came and an ambulance too. They brought his dead body away and the police started to ask me questions. But I'm not at the right state of mind. I can't...

After witnessing a death, I don't think I can still answer their questions.

"I'm here." I heard that voice again. The voice that sounded like home. I hugged her tight and cried hard on her shoulders.

"It's done. He's dead." I cried harder at her last statement. He was a nice guy, he shouldn't have died. He was just sad and problematic. We could've saved him. I could've saved him.

"No one's gonna hurt you. I'm here." I felt her kiss my forehead. I looked at her with tears streaming down my face.

"He won't hurt me. He was just sad." I said and cried even more. Gripping tightly on her shirt.

My chest became heavy as I continue to cry. I started to breathe abnormally. I felt light-headed and soon, dizziness ate me.

"Yuri!"

"Argh." I groaned as I massage my head. Don't tell me I missed my recognition day?!

"Oh, Yuri!" I opened my eyes and saw the familiar white room again.

"How long was I asleep?" I asked.

"12 hours." I glanced at Vin, who is smiling to me.

"I didn't miss the recognition day right?" I asked her and continued to massage my head.

"Nope. You still have four hours to prepare for the recognition." She answered and kissed my forehead.

"Since you're awake now, my duty is done. I'll call your parents." She took her phone from her pocket and made a call.

"I'll leave when your parents arrive."

"Don't leave." I said.

"I'm stinking, Yuri. I haven't change since yesterday morning." She acted like disgusted at her clothes.
