L reached for Aeri and pulled her into his arms.

She stood with her head against L’s chest…not knowing what to do.

“Aeri…” Woohyun let out a relieved sigh.

“You had us worried.” Sungyeol added.

“Worried?” She questioned.

Aeri pulled away and looked at them dumbfoundedly not comprehending the situation.

“Why?” She stared at them with wide eyes.

“Weren’t you trying to…” Sungyeol pointed to the balcony.

“Trying to what?” Aeri raised her eyebrow waiting for an answer.

“Wait…you didn’t think I was going to jump off…did you?” Aeri furrowed her eyebrows.

“We thought…”

“I just wanted to remember...” She sighed.

“Did you remember anything?” Sungyeol asked with wide eyes.

“No…” Aeri lied, remembering how they didn’t want her to know about her past.

“Don’t do that ever again.” L pulled her back into his arms.

“Never again…” He whispered, tightening his embrace.

“Hel – help…” Aeri gasped for air while fighting to break free.

“L! You’re suffocating her!” Woohyun laughed before tearing them apart.

...

“Oppa…can I ask for a request?” Aeri broke the awkward silence.

“Anything. Just tell us.” Woohyun gave her a smile.

“I want to see oppa…can you take me to see him?”

The three boys exchanged looks.

Since Sunggyu’s death, they never took Aeri to see him and they never expected that she would be the one to bring it up first.

“Sure.” Woohyun choked trying to hold back his tears.

“Thanks oppa.”

“Hey, hyung. Look who we brought to visit you.” Sungyeol said pushing Aeri to the front.

Aeri knelt down and looked at the photo of her older brother.

“Oppa…I’m sorry it took me so long to come visit you. You don’t have to worry about me anymore. I have these three looking after me…” She turned around and gave them a big smile.

“…but to tell you the truth, they’re not doing a good job.” Aeri pretended to whisper.

“Hey! We heard that!” Sungyeol put his hands on her shoulders.

"You're still alive aren't you?" Woohyun joked.

"Hyung, she's a handful...why did you leave us with this mess." L added.

"Heeyy!! I'm an angel!" Aeri turned to them and winked.

Before they left, Aeri turned back and took a look at her brother’s grave one last time.

“Oppa, I promise…I promise I’ll get revenge.” She thought.

“Knock. Knock?” L said before he entered Aeri’s room.

“What happened in here?” L gasped when he saw the mess she had made.

“I’m looking for something.” Aeri threw her pillow behind herself, accidently hitting L in the face.

“Oops. Sorry.” She laughed.

“What are you looking for?”

“A notebook.”

“Notebook? I have some in my room i
