IU and Suzy were alone in the backstage as others were waiting at the stage. IU was staring at Suzy who was reading and memorizing her part. They rarely spoke after that day, the day when Suzy’s parents died. She was gladded that Suzy recovered fast and it made she smiled.

IU looked back at the determined Suzy. Yes, she did recover. She smiled, laughed with others and even nagged Kikwang but she was still not the same Suzy she knew.

IU knew she had to apologize but she also realized that it was not enough. Still, there was nothing else she could do. She must apologize.

Slowly, IU stepped closer to Suzy. She took a deep breath, trying to gather her courage.

“Suzy,” IU softly called that name and watched her bestfriend quickly turned towards her.

“Yes?” Suzy answered spontaneously.

“I’m sorry…” IU paused, taking another breath and wanted to continue.

“For what?” Suzy cut before IU could continue, turning all of her body towards IU.

“For what had happened that day…” IU found her voice was getting lower. “I’m truly sorry,”

Suzy turned away from her. “It’s okay,” Suzy paused, looking down. “I know it’s not your fault,” Suzy replied as her voice was softly trembling.

“I know you blame me, Suzy. But, I want you to know that I never intend to hurt you in any way,” IU continued as she bit her lower lip, trying to control her teary eyes.

“I know. Oppa tells me everything,” Suzy slowly turned to IU, revealing her tears with a weak simple smile. “And I don’t know who to be blamed,” Suzy continued as her tears kept rolling down.

IU instantly hugged her bestfriend. “I’m sorry,” she said, feeling wrong towards the innocent girl. “I’m sorry,” she continued repeating.

Junhyung was sitting in front of the laptop in the practice room, leaning at the mirror while Doojoon was playing game with his phone.

The door of the practice room suddenly opened, revealing Kikwang who was rushing towards Junhyung, sitting on his knees directly in front of Junhyung.

“Hyung,” Kikwang breathed shortly as he was still recovering with his rapid breath. “I need your help,”

“Sure. What is it?” Junhyung asked calmly, still focusing at the screen of his laptop. 

“I need you to hack the university radio channel this evening,” Kikwang replied quickly, still trying to control his breath.

Junhyung was so surprised that he looked away from his laptop and made a shocked expression. Doojoon was also surprised that he stopped from playing the game.

“What?” Junhyung asked surprisingly as he finally understood Kikwang words.

“Please, hyung. I know you can do this,” Kikwang begged.

“This evening? It is our interview slot, isn’t it?” Doojoon remembered, staring at Kikwang confusedly.

Kikwang nodded. “That’s why the audio file needs to be broadcast at that time,” Kikwang explained.

“What audio file?” Junhyung asked, confused. He couldn’t do it without a good reason. He was used to hacking but he did it for fun and he needed to be careful of not getting caught.

Kikwang sighed. He had made a lot of people involved in his stupid plan but he could not give up now. Not when he was almost succeeded.

“Evidence that my dad accepts bribery,” Kikwang explain in a low tone.

Junhyung frowned while Doojoon released his phone and let it fell.

“What?” Doojoon asked, a result from the shock news.

Kikwang kept silence, not wanting to repeat the statement.

“But, he is your dad,” Junhyung voiced out. “I know it’s not right but still, he is your family” Junhyung was not agreeing with Kikwang act.

Kikwang sighed before he could speak. “Yoseob is my family too,”

“Yoseob? What are you talking about?” Doojoon was getting more confused.

Kikwang kept silent for a moment before he shook his head. “I will tell the details later,” Kikwang said to Doojoon. He turned back to Junhyung and begged. “Please, do it for Yoseob,”

Junhyung and Doojoon looked at each other and sighed.

*******************

It was in the library, where IU and Kikwang met between the book racks.

“Any progress?” IU asked, curious about the plan.

Kikwang nodded. “Yup, faster than I expected,”

IU looked down, smiling, happy with the news. She then turned back to Kikwang.

“Why did you tell Suzy? I thought you don’t want her involves,” IU asked.

“I don’t but I can’t keep from about how her parents died,” Kikwang paused and gulped. “I’ve promised her that I will find the justice for them,”

“Do you have the evidence?” IU asked again.

Kikwang shook his head. “Not yet, but I have asked for my cousin help,” he smiled weakly.

IU nodded her head.

“How is Yoseob? I don’t meet him recently,” Kikwang asked, changing the topic.

“He is fine,” IU looked down, not showing her bad expression. “But, I feel guilty,” she said softly. “For doing all these without his knowledge,”

“Guilty?” In sudden another person voice was heard.

IU and Kikwang quickly turned to the source of the voice.

“Yoseob?” Kikwang blurt out in surprised.

IU gasped, shocked.
