"Don't worry, Son! I'm here!" Jongdae shouted as he came stumbling into Minseok's room.

Minseok raised his head out of his arms and stared at Jongdae.

Jongdae ran to Minseok, touching him everywhere.

"It didn't work? Why didn't it work? Are you going to die? Don't die, Son-"

"Calm down." Minseok demanded, Jongdae immediately going silent.

Minseok put his head back in his arms.

"I need to think." Minseok determined, shutting his eyes.

Jongdae sighed and stood up against the wall.

"Heart and Soul. You played it with Sohee?" Jongdae asked.

Minseok made a noise, confirming that he had.

"And it didn't work." Jongdae said.

Minseok sighed and looked up at his arms.

Small pieces of his skin were gone, turned into dust.

Jongdae hummed.

"What if...it's literall?" Jongdae said, just out of thought.

Minseok's light bulb flashed.

"Like, what if your crazy mom wanted you to find a love she never had." Jongdae looked up dreamily. "That's so like mothers. So ramantic and fantasy-like." Jongdae sighed. "But then again, your mom's crazy so she might have put it there to trick you so you would've never been able to get out of this curse thing." Jongdae stated.

"Wait." Minseok said.

Jongdae blinked and raised his brows.

"What-?"

"What if that is it? I just have to win her heart and soul." Minseok said.

"Uhhh...Hold on." Jongdae said.

Minseok locked eyes with him,

"You don't think it'll be that easy, do you?" Jongdae questioned. "Her heart's been broken once before. And that's basically the reason why she doesn't come out of her house. So why would she let you in?" Jongdae asked with a weird hint of shakiness in his voice.

Minseok blinked and looked off to the side.

"I don't know. But I'm not going to die like this." Minseok said, clenching his fists.

Jongdae huffed and turned his back on Minseok.

"Alright. Good luck." Jongdae said in an oddly quiet voice before exiting the room.

Minseok stared into space as he thought of a plan.

There was a knock at Sohee's door.

She hurried and stacked her keyboard back on top the other keyboards.

She shut the door before opening the front door.

"Jongdae?" Sohee said, a little surprised to see him there. "What are you-"

Jongdae hugged Sohee tightly.

"Noona..." Jongdae cried silently into Sohee's stomach.

Sohee frowned.

"What's wrong with you?" Sohee asked, holding Jongdae close to her.

Jongdae was silent for a moment before he spoke, voice cracking.

"Hyung...W-Where did he go again?" Jongdae asked.

Sohee's heart ached.

Her grip tightened on Jongdae's hair.

"He's in a better place, Jongdae. His soul's in heaven-"

"Where's yours?" Jongdae asked suddenly, raising his head to look Sohee in the eye.

"Mine is with Seunghyun-"

"No." Jongdae shook his head. "Tell Hyung to give it back. Or Minnie will turn into dust, Noona." 

Sohee's eyebrows narrowed.

"Please don't let them take Minnie too. Tell Hyung to give it back, Noona." Jongdae pleaded.

Sohee let out an elongated sigh before nodding finally.

It's time to let him go.

"I will." Sohee said. "Promise." 

Jongdae lit up and wiped his tears away.

He hugged her tightly before waving and skipping off happily.

Sohee looked to the ground and shut the door.

Minseok steps up to Sohee's door.
