Two weeks later

"Alright," Yuju says, "lets play our game now!"

"What are we playing?" Eunha asks.

"Hide and seek," Yerin says, "Jaein wanted to play."

"Okay, lets start. I'll count," on Yuju says, "1..2..3.."

We all hid around the house as I was hiding under yuju's bed and Jongin was in the room next to me.

"...20! Alright here I come!" Yuju shouted from the first floor.

I giggled as i tried to keep it quiet. Laughing was heard from downstairs as I figured Yuju had found someone. Yuju walked upstairs and searched the bathroom first then she went to the room Jongin was in, "found you! Now tell me where Sinb and Jaein are."

Jongin laughed, "I can't."

Yuju smiles and sighed as she came into the room I was in. She opened the closest door first and checked under the blankets. I giggled as I heard her feet leaving the room but her feet came back. Yuju got on the ground and smiled, "found you!"

I laughed and got out of under the bed, "so who's left?"

"Jaein," Jongin said, "I heard her go in the closet in Yerin's room."

"Don't give her hiding spot away," I nudge the younger boy. Jongin and I walk to Yerin's room as Yuju checked the other bathroom. I opened the closet expecting to see a small smiling girl but the only thing I saw was a dead one.

Jongin screamed, "Jaein!! Wake up! Jaein! Jaein-ah!"

"No!" I lift the girl's body and put my ear to her chest, "t-there's no heartbeat! Someone! Someone call the ambulance!"

Yuju and Sojung rushed in and Eunha called an ambulance, within minutes sirens were heard outside. Jongin and Yerin stood there crying as they watched the little girl being carried off into an ambulance.

A male paramedic looked at us, "an autopsy will be done within the next few days, expect a phone call no later than Friday of this week."

"O-Okay.." Sojung mumbled.

Yerin hugged me as I hugged her back, "sinb...I-I can't believe this happened.."

"Same here, she was too young to pass away like that." I say, "I'm so sorry Jongin."

Jongin stood there crying as Yuju and Eunha comforted him. The poor boy no longer had anyone from his family to accompany him, it was just Lee Jongin all by himself in this mysterious world everyone hates. We all went back inside as no one said a word. Yuju and the rest began to get ready to sleep as I lied in bed next to Yerin, "yerin..I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry?" She asks.

"Because..you lost another source of happiness." I say, "Jaein could've survived and died off peacefully of old age but...she didn't."

"Don't be sorry, the only person who should be sorry is the person or group doing this." Yerin said.

"Okay," I say, "I love you, Yerin."

"I love you, too."
