Seven hours went by after Sojin passed out. Her eyes fluttered opened as the sunlight beamed into the room and she felt terrible. Her wounds weren't bleeding anymore, however they hurt a lot.     Sighing, Sojin kicked the blanket off of herself and stood up. Ignoring the pain from her knee, she walked to the previous room, where she last saw the three boys. But they weren't there anymore. Sojin quickly made her way around the castle but couldn't find them.       "Sojin?" Sunmi called and the girl turned around. "Sunmi...the guys...where are they?" She asked. She remembered what had happened to them but still wanted to see them. She still needed some more time with them.      Sunmi led Sojin to the rose garden. There, in the very back were three big black-pearled stones. Each of them having carved a name. Sojin dropped to her knees in front of them, eyes once again watering.      The loss of the three of them came too surprisingly. She couldn't keep up with it. Her tears rolled down her cheeks while she shook her head.       "... There was no one who protected me more than, Sehun. There was no one who understood me more than Baekhyun. And there was no one who encouraged me more than Kai... There was no one so important to me as you three..." Sojin's voice lowered as she sobbed. She couldn't hold back her cries.       "For once in my life... I was happy and I wanted to live on... But why did you leave me?! I don't want to be alone as I was before! I don't want to suffer from loneliness anymore... I don't want to lose what I dreamed to have" the more Sojin talked, the weaker she got.         Though the first time she encountered them, she didn't give a thing. She never cared. But they changed her. They gave the warmth and happiness she never had before. However, she lost it all now.     
      "Sojin,... I'm so sorry... It's all my fault" Sunmi kneeled down behind Sojin who stopped crying and turned back. "It was me who called them to help you. I... I knew they wouldn't survive through this but still... I let them help you".      "W-What are you saying? What do y-you mean?" Sojin widened her eyes, grabbing the girls shoulder. "There was no way their elements could kill a monster like that. Only black magic could... But I needed them to buy you time to kill the main monster. I needed them to sacrifice in order to hold the other monsters back.... I knew they would die and so did they! They said... They were willing to die for you" Sunmi broke into tears.       What she just said was like a knife stabbed into Sojin's heart. It hurt her. It hurt her so much knowing that Sunmi knew they would end up dying. It hurt her even more knowing that the boys were giving up on themselves for her.       Then it came to her. The words Kai said before the whole fight began. "I'm happy I was useful in my life" was what he said back then. The fact that they died in order to protect her made her cry all over again.        Never before, had she been protected, cared about and encouraged. Kai, Baekhyun and Sehun were the first ones who ever respected and liked her. She was touched. She was thankful. She felt like the luckiest person. But she was also mad. She was mad at herself for being so stupid and sometimes so heartless towards them.       "Sunmi...you said
