Seunghyun and Gaheun were quiet as they drove back to the mansion; they were both too deep in their own thought to hold a conversation. Now that she knows everything... Will she see our side a little? I don't mean to try to convince her to rebel against her friends, but I don't want to be seen as the 'bad guy' when we're not, from our point of view at least, Seunghyun thought. Immediately afterwards, he thought, why do I even care what she thinks?  He couldn't find an answer.

                    Gaheun's mind on the other hand, was a little less calm. She doesn't know if she can believe what Seunghyun told her. It's a really tragic story... I don't think anyone would make that up. But, maybe he just got some facts wrong... I can't believe some things he said, not when I know my friends' personalities. But no matter what the case is... Seunghyun's still hurt. Maybe he doesn't care who killed Minkyung. Maybe he just wants them to feel the same pain he's going through. After finishing that thought, she wondered where Donghae was and how he was holding up. She didn't really think about whether or not he was going to save her, not because she doubted him, but because she didn't want him to. She knew now, there was absolutely no way both of them were going to escape unharmed if he were to try to come and save her.
 
 

"Hmm? Who's that?" Seunghyun mumbles under his breath. Gaheun looks ahead to see what made Seunghyun break the silence. She immediately recognized what she saw, and her stomach began to twist and turn, butterflies roamed free in her stomach.

"Donghae" she says as she exhales, it was barely audible, but Seunghyun knew right away what she meant. She immediately unlocked the door, and pulled the handle to open it. The car door remained glued in place.

"You can't-" Seunghyun began, but realized she wasn't listening.

                    He tried a couple of times to talk to her, or at least tell her it was no use. This frantic panic only lasted a minute, because the car that was holding Donghae, Yesung, Hyukjae, Siwon, Henry, Hankyung, Sungmin, Kangin and Jungsoo drove off into the darkness.

                    Gaheun's arms dropped to her sides. Her back still facing Seunghyun. She began to shake, but no sound came out. Slightly worried, Seunghyun put his hand on her shoulder. She turned to look at him; the only word he could think of to match her expression was torture.

"I'm sorry." Seunghyun almost whispered. He really was, but it wouldn't have made him let her leave the car.

"I just wanted to see him... Just once. So he knows I'm okay, so I know he's okay..." she began to sob even more. Damn, Seunghyun thought. He made a more composed face, which usually resulted in an emotionless one, and said,

"I'm sorry," again, in the exact same tone, "You know I can't let you do that."

Anger flashed through her face, she looks him straight in the eyes.

"I hate you." is all she could say. She felt so weak, so vulnerable; she still let the tears flow from her eyes. Her car door opened, her eyes lit up, almost as if it were Donghae who opened the door. It wasn't though, but she was still comforted a little from seeing him.

"C'mon, let's get you inside. Dry your tears,." Kim Bum said in a comforting tone.

                    Gaheun manages to stop crying, and dries her face completely before they enter the mansion.

"Let's wait for Hyung," he says, still in a comforting tone. Gaheun just sniffles, then reluctantly nods. Seunghyun is behind them within a minute. The two guys exchange glances before Seunghyun opens the door.

Gaheun gasps slightly. What happened here?  She thought. Kim Bum leads her in.

"So... You've finally come back home." Mr. Choi greets them, his voice warm."Miss Gaheun, you came back just a second too late. There were guests who were looking for you."

Gaheun just stares ahead, taking in the destroyed house. There was glass everywhere, ripped sofas, smashed chairs, flipped over furniture... It's like a tornado hit it.
