The wind howled through the night as Youngsoo twisted and turned in his small bed. The korean boy could not sleep as he was scared and worried. What if it was his time to die in the next second, minute, hour or day? He didn't know how to save himself or his friends. If he could he would've saved his best friend.

Youngsoo loved his friend Taejoon. "Loved."

It was in the middle of their field trip where Youngsoo was in a cafe with Taejoon, before he froze and laid dead on the table. Tears raced down Youngsoo's face. He held the boy in his arms and looked at his pale face, "who would do something like this?"

Youngsoo turned himself towards his beside table. He sat up and grabbed a picture, "I didn't even get to confess but you died too soon. You stupid fool." Youngsoo smiled and tears filled his eyes. He grabbed his phone and played Taejoon's favorite song. With Taejoon in his heart he went to bed quickly.

Taejoon watched, he watched as his best friend cried himself to sleep with his picture in his hand listening to his favorite song. How could it be that Youngsoo survived but not Taejoon?

Taejoon walked into youngsoo's room and watched the lovely boy sleep. "I wish I wasn't dead," Taejoon smiled and kissed the Youngsoo's forehead. Of course, Youngsoo didn't feel it, Taejoon wasn't even a human anymore.

Time has passed and the three boys were finally in Japan. After looking at the emptiness that lied ahead of them, they traveled around Japan to find who was doing this.

Yuju and Umji told the others about not returning back to Korea. The three other girls were scared but Yuju and Umji were not. The two wanted to make a plan to stop Barashi but they didn't know how.

"Should we tell them?" Yuju whispers into Umji's ear.

"N-Not here," Umji says, "just wait. I know a special place where no one is being watched."

Yuju nodded.

The next day rolled around as Umji woke up early to get the other girls. Lazy and tired the four girls woke up. SinB took Yerin's hand and placed it into hers. She kissed the tip of her nose and her lips. Sojung smiled at the two holding her tears in wishing Eunha was there with her.

Together the five girls walked a couple of miles to where Umji would tell them the truth. They stopped in front of a tombstone.

"Why here?" Yuju asked.

"This is where Barashi's brother is buried," Umji said, emotionless, "he never watches anything a mile within where we are."

"So what is that we need to know?" Sojung asked.

Yuju and Umji looked at each other then the rest. Umji took a deep breath, "Sir Barashi is the one doing this. He's the one killing everyone. His rose garden are representatives of people around the world. Every time someone dies their rose will wither and their petals will fall."

Everyone was silent. "So this is why we couldn't touch the roses?" Yerin said.

"They were just so sacred," sinb said.

"Yes," Umji said, "a-and...h-he...wants Yerin dead."

Sojung stood there in shock. She couldn't bare the risk of losing her only family member. SinB looked at Umji, "why?"

"He loves you, SinB," Umji explained, "he's madly in love with you."
