minjoo found herself staring at yujin's grave,

"hey,"

"it's been four years, isn't it?"

"time flew by very fast.."

"hyunseo grew up very passionate about everything.."

"she's very determined to help the group."

"which i am very proud of, she's a great kid."

sigh

"i sometimes see you in her."

"i assume her corny jokes came from you,"

chuckle

"i just wished that you saw her grow up, together.. with me."

"you're supposed to be nineteen now.."

"hyunseo just turned seventeen this february."

"still young, but she's getting there."

"i don't even know why am i still keeping up with the dates.."

"it.."

sob

"it was very hard to move forward without you,"

"i miss you very much."

"i really do."

pause

"i remember.."

"you always sing this song back then,,"

"i forgot the title but.."

sob

"baby take my hand,"

"i want you to be my husband,"

"'cuz you're my iron man,"

"and i love you.. 3000."

minjoo started crying as she fell down to the ground, sobbing helplessly.

until she felt a hand on her back,

she didn't flinch, nor she didn't get surprised.

she turned around and hugged the person.

the person hugged her back then caressed her hair gently

"it's okay, minjoo unnie.." once she knows who it is judging by the voice, she hugged the person even tighter.

=====

yujin's letter that she handed to leeseo before jumping off the building:

dear, whoever reads this

first of all, i'm really sorry.

what i did was selfish.

hyunseo's the only key to save humanity. she's the only one immune.

i lied.. i lied to her that there are many people like her. that many people are immune.

i just can't lose her.

i promised,

but she's the one who's gonna lose me.

i'm bitten,

maybe this was my karma from being too selfish that i chose hyunseo over hundreds and thousands of people.

but i didn't regret it one bit.

if i choose to be selfless, the guilt will never leave me.

because i promised,

 i promised her parents to let her live.

just- whoever reads this.. please protect hyunseo with all your might,

i'm sorry,

i really am.
