With a groan, I woke up.
I was in a cold, drafty dungeon. I looked around. The dungeon was small.
But how did I get here?
I looked through the bars.
"SooJi! SooJi-ah! Over here!", I heard someone call me.
I was surprised as I saw Melanie next to my cell.
"What are you doing here?", she asked me.
"Me? What am I doing here? Just chillin'. What are you doing here? I know you got kidnapped but why? Sis, what did you do...?!"
"I... I stole drugs from them..."
"You did what?! You can't be serious...!", I said and gave up. "Fine... But how... why am I...? Oh god I don't wanna know..."
I sat down and put my face in my hands.
Ageshi... How could you...? You are a traitor.... Zelo told me all about ya. I didn't want to believe but he was right...
"It was not Yongguk!", I heard a voice from farther away.
"Aaron! There you are!"
"Yeah but not for long, I'm afraid. They will execute me today....", he said and his head sank.
"What?!", I asked. "Who are they? Why are we here? Why are we even alive?"
"I'm still alive because I have informations about Zelo's organisation to help people like us and
they think if they torture me, I will tell them but I will not do that, so I'm going to die today."
My eyes filled with hot tears.
"Melanie's still alive because they want to have fun with her later, I heard but then she'll die too."
Aaron looked at me.
"And you SooJi, or should I call you Kira? You are alive because they need you..."
"Need me?"
He didn't deal with that question.
"I know you think it was Yongguk hyung. Sometimes he's a little rude but he is no traitor! I know Zelo told you that but it ain't true.
Zelo said that because he believes himself that Yongguk killed your sister and was about to kill him."
"You know about that? But... but who is it? Do you know?"
Aaron nodded.
"It's-"
"Me, darling..."

They came to get Aaron... I couldn't do anything but standing there looking through the bars as they took him.
He was a true friend and I'd always remember him. A tear fell down.
Mel was considerate and didn't talk for a while.
I wondered if they would torture him hard and what they do to him.
I closed my eyes. I couldn't stand the pain of knowing that a friend of mine got tortured and I couldn't do anything to help him.
Melanie started to sing the song she always sang when I was sick, when I was sad, when I couldn't sleep...
While she sang I imagined the way they would kill him... Would they just shot him to end his agony?
Or would they torture him to death?

I cried a river over him.

"Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the corn it ripens fastest when the frosts are setting in
And when a young man tells me that my face he'll soon forget
Before we part, I'd better croon, he'd be fain to follow it yet

Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the swallow skims without a thought as long as it is Spring
But when Spring blows and Winter goes my lad and you'd be fain
With all your pride for to follow me, were it 'cross the stormy main

Oh the snow it melts the soonest when the winds begin to sing
And the bee that flew when Summer shone in Winter he won't sing
And all the flowers in all the land so brightly there they be
And the snow it melts the soonest when my true love's there for me

So never say me farewell here, no farewell I'll receive
You can meet me at the stile, you kiss and take your leave
And I'll wait it till the woodcock crows or the martin takes its leave
Since the snow it melts the soonest, when the winds begin to sing"

A while passed then Mel talked again to me.
"SooJi-ah... I'm sorry to borther asking you this but... you allright...?"
I didn't said anything till I cleared my throat.
"If... If I only could... make a deal with god... and get him to swap our places... If I only could...
There is a thunder in my heart... a thunder telling me there is so much hate for the ones we love...
Tell me, we both matter... don't we...?"
She said nothing. She just stared at her shaking hands.
I heard his words echo in my head:
"Come on baby. Come on darling. Let me steal this moment from you know. Come on angel. Come on darling."
Aaron was right. Ageshi was not a traitor.
"SooJi-ah... If a tsunami were on its way here and I knew about that. What would you choose:
1. I should warn you, so that you be safe.
 or
2. I shouldn't say anything and you figure out if you survive."
I couldn't help myself but smile about that under tears.
"What are you talking about...?", I asked laughing and looked at her.
"I'm pregnant.", she said smiling touching her belly.
I needed a time to realize what she meant. I just stared at her.
"Is... is it JongUp's?"
"No, it's from the cast of river dance... Of course it's JongUp's! I- I didn't know how to tell you that
I'm going to have a baby and... get married."
"You'll get married? Mel, why didn't you tell me? I just want to hug you! I love you, Onni!"
"I love you too...!", she whispered and took my hand through the bars.

"SooJi-ah?"
"Yeah...?"
"The answer is: Yes. Yes, we both matter, SooJi-ah. We just have to."
