Krystal POV

I'm not sure what happened first.

One moment I saw Gyuri standing with a gun pointed at Yoona's head...

The next moment both Yuri and Yoona were on the floor, bleeding.

I was in so much shock.

No... Yoona... Yuri...

They.

They can't be dead.

A rush of adrenaline filled my body as anger raged in my chest.

I don't remember breaking away from my bonds.

But suddenly I was free.

Gyuri was too slow to respond as I grabbed the gun from her hand.

I landed a punch in her jaw and she stumbled back, groaning in pain.

"S-Soojung?"

"This... Is for my sister. For shooting her."

*kick*

She fell on her knees coughing as I kicked her stomach.

"This... is for Minna. For hurting her ummas."

Gyuri struggling to raise her head.

*smack*

"This... is for everyone else. For threatening them."

*stomp*

At this point she was miserably rolling on the floor .

I pointed the gun straight at her head.

"And this... this for Yoona."

Before I could pull the trigger however someone stopped.

Yoona had somehow managed to pull herself in front of Gyuri.

She was so badly injured and I could see it hurt for her to breathe.

"P-P-P-Please... d-d-don't. You're not a kill-ll-er S-S-Soojung."

Her brown doe-eyes were dark and tired looking, but they shimmered with her tears.

"P-Please... I kn-n-now you're not this kind of p-p-person..."

Tears filled my own eyes as I watched Yoona protect the person who had injured her so badly.

All to protect my innocence.

How can you show mercy even at times like this Yoong?

Why are you so kind???

WHY?!

You're too good for this world...

You're too good for me...

Yet I fell in love with you.

Now I know for sure I can't be with you...

You are too good for me.

I slowly lowered the gun.

However my choice was the wrong one.

Gyuri took this opportunity as her chance.

She took the gun into her possession once again.

"And this is why I need to get rid of her Soojung. Her weakness causes you to be weak... Say goodbye to your deer Soojung."

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

With a bang... the door to our prison came tumbling down.

Dozens of police officers filed in, led my Yoona's bodyguards.

My god...

We're saved...

And with that I collapsed onto the ground.

Jessica POV

Not even Tiffany could stop me from getting out of bed when I heard that Krystal, Yoona, and Yuri had arrived at the hospital.

I practically ran towards the ambulance with Tiffany screeching at my side.

"JESSIE!!! Get back in bed!!!!"

"NOT UNTIL I SEE KRYSTAL!!!"

The guards and police men entered the hospital, guiding the group of paramedics.

"YOONG?!" yelled Fany from next to me.

My heart dropped to the ground the moment I saw the first stretcher.

Yoona was a bloody mess and I could tell the paramedics were fighting to keep her alive even now.

We were both silent, not knowing what to do as the second stretcher followed closely behind.

"Take her to the operating table now! She's losing too much blood!" shouted a doctor.

I saw that several of the doctors were already covered in blood as they tried to put pressure on Yuri's wound.

From what I could see it was bad.

Oh God...

Please... Let them be okay.

Tiffany had started to cry and burried her face in my shoulder.

I was too stunned to react to what I had seen.

Too scared to know if my own sister had met the same fate as them.

Luckily the third stretcher carrying my sister quickly came and I saw that she was fine.

Krystal was even conscious.

She was crying.

"K-Krys?" I asked softly as she was wheeled towards me.

Krystal looked up at me.

"U-Unnie... Y-Yoona... and Y-Y-Yuri... I-... I-..."

"Shhhhhhh~..."

I placed a hand on her cheek to calm her down.

"It's alright now Soojung-ah... You're alright. Everything is going to be just fine..."

Krystal nodded as the paramedics led her away to be treated.

I felt someone squeeze my hand and saw that it was Tiffany.

Her tears seemed endless.

"Do you think they'll be okay?"

I looked at the lights above the emergency operating rooms.

*OPERATION IN PROGRESS* 

The lights seemed to tease us about the seriousness of the situation.

It was as if they we're saying that the fates of our dongsaengs rested in their hands...

"They have to be fine Tiffany. They just have to be..."

Yoona POV

When I opened my eyes I was in a familiar field of white lilies.

The sky was a beautiful blue and the sun was shining so brightly.

I smiled widely as I saw a familiar figure in the distance.

Her blonde hair shimmered in the light as she smiled widely at me.

"Yoong~!"

It was Hyoyeon-unnie.

My eyes filled with tears as we both began to run each other.

Soon I was in the familiar embrace of the person I missed the most.

She held me just like when I was younger.

The comforting of my hair sent me into a burst of nostalgia.

"Unnie... I missed you so much..."

Hyoyeon-unnie let me go and smiled angelically.

"My little deer... you've changed since the last time I saw you..."

I smiled at her.

"A lot of things have changed since you've been gone unnie..."

Hyoyeon-unnie gave me one of her little knowing loveable smirks.

"I know Yoong. I've been watching."

I looked around the flower filed once again.

"But unnie... does this mean I'm dead?"

Unnie shook her head no.

"No sweetie, not yet. We're in the space between the dead and the living. They're trying to fight for your life down there now."

I frowned. I didn't want to leave unnie.

"Do I have to go back?"

Hyoyeon-unnie smiled softly at me.

"That's up to you Yoong... Why don't we have a little chat first?"

~~~

We sat underneath the same tree Minna, Yuri, and I had sat under what seemed like a long time ago...

"Yoona-ah... let me start off by telling you just how proud I am of you... You've grown up so well. Appa and Umma are proud of you too. I know they wanted to be here but... They weren't granted that request. You'll see them when it's the right time..."

I bit my bottom lip to stop them from quivering.

"But unnie.... I-... I just miss you so much... I don't even know if I'm raising Minna right. Or if I'm strong enough to go on... What if I fail? What if all my success suddenly goes down hill? I don't know unnie... I just... I wish you were still here. I want to fix everything that happened..."

Hyoyeon-unnie hugged me tightly as I let go of the pain that I had been holding for a long time.

"My sweet sweet baby sister... there is nothing to fix. The past is the past; we can't do anything to change it. I'm sad I had to leave you too... But right now there is no greater joy watching you raise Minna up beautifully. Please you need to understand that I am so happy. I am at peace."

"Unnieeee... I... I love you so much..."

"And I love you Yoongie..."

My tears soon subsided and only the gentle wind filled the emptiness of the field.

But it was a warm and a comforting emptiness... Like that of a house waiting for its occupants to come back.

"Yoona-ah I need to go now... And you have to go back too."

I looked up at the gentle eyes of my sister as they were now also filled with tears.

"Tell Minna I love her so so very much... And Yoong, I love you too. There will be a day in a future when we'll be together again. But until then you have to live on for me and Hyukjae. Start a family. Be happy with Yuri. Just live Yoona-ah... Can you promise me that? Can you do that for unnie?"

Hyoyeon-unnie smiled as she held up her right pinky before linking it with my own.

"Nae unnie~ I promise..."

She hugged me one last time and kissed my forehead.

"I love you my deer little baby sister..."

With that she began to skip towards the end of the field.

As I watched her leave, I swear that she transformed in front of my eyes.

She became her child-self and joined two familiar figures in the distance.

A tall and handsome man and a very gentle and loving woman... Our father and mother.

"Now I know you're happy unnie... Rest in peace Hyoyeon-unnie... I love you."

~~~

"Yoong?"

A voice came from behind me.

I turned around and squealed in joy as I ran towards her.

Yuri caught me in her strong arms and we held on tightly to each other.

Our lips found each others, attracting like magnets.

We were soon dancing to the melody of love that only we could hear in our hearts.

Her sweet taste filled every space of my mouth and I longed for all of her.

My arms pulled at her neck so are bodies melded together.

Her long fingers had made their way into my long hair as she too pulled me closer.

We only broke apart when we started to feel light-headed from the lack of air.

Even then Yuri's lips never left my skin.

She lay her head against my shoulder, gasping at my ear which sent tingles down my spine.

"I missed you so much Yoona-ah... I'm so glad you're okay..."

I kissed the crown of her hair.

"Thank you for coming to save me Yuri-ah... I love you."

Yuri planted a chaste kiss of my lips again.

"And I love you my Yoong."

"Yul... I just talked to Hyoyeon-unnie... she's at peace. Just like you said..."

My girlfriend hugged me tight again.

"I talked to my dad too... He was so happy Yoong. I can't wait to tell Seo and Amber.."

I was content to be in Yuri's embrace.

We could have stayed there forever but we both knew we had to go.

"Yul we have to go back... Minna is waiting for us."

Yuri let me go and linked our hands together.

"I know. Let's go before she throws a fit.... I love you so much Yoong. When we get back I have something important to tell you."

I planted a small kiss on her cheek.

"Arasso... I'll see you soon Yuri-ah."

No One POV

In a dark cell locked up in the highest security was a young woman.

She was confined in a small space, enough to make anyone go insane.

Luckily for her, she was already insane enough to retain the small amount of sanity she had left.

Gyuri worked tirelessly on the small shard of rock she had chipped away with her nails.

Her hands were bloody as she continued to sharpen the rock against the walls of her cell.

Once she deemed it worhty enough, she cut into the fleshy part of her neck, following her wrists.

She sighed in content as felt the blood endless flowing out of her.

Gyuri felt nothing as the poison she had taken secretly before her capture was slowly starting to take its effect.

She closed her eyes and smiled.

"Now I am finally free."
