When I woke up, what I only saw was Omma hugging me. Her body was full of blood. I wasn’t able to do anything but to cry and cry. I tried to call her, pat her cheeks, but she didn't open her eyes. Omma, she died in front of me. She died because of me.

xXxXx

"Are you sure you're going to the cemetery?" Alice asked her best friend. She was leaning on her best friend's table inside her room. "Don't worry. I can handle it alone." Claire's words made the young lady worry more. "Go with Kibum-ssi or Kevin-ssi." Alice suggested. "Stupid, why should I?" Claire went to the main door and wore her flat shoes. "Claire, take care of yourself." "Yes, I will." Claire smiled at her and left. xXxXx Claire was about to leave the building but Kevin and Kibum caught her. "Where are you going?" Kibum asked. "You should still be resting. It’s just been 3 days since you came out from the hospital." Kevin told her "I'm just going somewhere, no need to worry." Claire told them. "Are you going alone?" "Yeah. Why?" "Wait for us here, we're going with you." Kibum told her. "Eh?!" Claire wasn’t able to stop them because they already left. Why did it end up like this? Claire thought. After 10 minutes, Kibum and Kevin finally came back. “Sorry to keep you waiting.” Kevin told her. “You don’t need to go with me.” Claire told them. “But we won’t let you go alone.” Kibum defended. “Give up already.” Kevin told her. Claire sighed. “Fine, fine, fine.” The three went inside Kibum’s car and left. xXxXx After an hour, they finally arrived at the cemetery. "Wake her up." Kibum told Kevin. Claire fell asleep during their trip. "Eh? Why me?" "Just wake her up." Kibum went outside the car and closed the door. Kevin sighed. I know now why. This girl is an AB, He looked at Claire's face. "You're really different from others." He whispered. "Claire, we're here. Wake up." Kevin spoke louder, enough to be heard by Claire. "Claire, wake up." He repeated. "Hmm.. Mmm.." Claire slowly opened her eyes and rubbed it. "Are w---" she covered her mouth and yawned. "Yeah, we're here." Kevin told her. She's really different, he thought. "Sorry for falling asleep." "No need to say sorry, Claire." Kevin smiled. "You are really different from the videos I watched." He was surprised. "What? What video clips?" Kevin looked directly into Claire eyes, making it awkward. "Nothing. Never mind." Claire avoided his stare and went outside and slammed the door. "Oh? What's the problem?" Kibum asked. "N-n-nothing." Claire avoided his stare too. "Thank you for the ride. I'm leaving--" Claire tried to walk away but Kibum caught her wrist. "You're escaping again." Kibum told her. "Hyung" Kevin saw what just happened and it made him jealous a little. Kibum let go of Claire then sighed. "Let's go now, then." Kibum said. "Y-y-yes." Claire awkwardly said. Oh Pete, I know I’m a bad girl. But for this time, please don't let any thunder come, she thought. xXxXx They went to where Claire's mother's grave was. First, they 'greeted' Claire's mother and then Claire 'introduced' Kibum and Kevin to her. The three remained silent until Kibum spoke up. "So, you are half Korean-half French." He said. "I was born and grew up here in Korea. I migrated to France 4 years ago because omma died." Claire explained. "Those four years, it must be hard for you." Kevin told her. "No, Alice stayed beside me so it’s not that hard." She said. "And now that I have seven special friends, no I mean eight, including manager-oppa, it doesn’t hurt much anymore." Claire smiled innocently, making Kibum's and Kevin's eyes opened wide. She's really unique, they both thought. "Thank you for staying with me up to now." Claire told them and then she bowed as a sign of her appreciation. Kevin and Kibum didn't react and just looked at her. "Wua-- Why you two didn't react?" Claire asked. "Have you forgotten something?" Both of them asked. "Me? What did I--" "Eonni!" Claire was cut off by a young girl. They looked at her. "Seonhyae." Claire whispered. Her surprised eyes were fixed on the young girl. "Eonni! Eonni!" the young girl repeated calling her with her wavy voice. She ran to Claire and hugged her tight. "Hyaeri-eonni, finally you're here." tears fell down from the young girl's eyes. She kept calling Claire by the name 'Hyaeri'. The three were still surprised about what's going on. "Claire, why is she--" "Seonhyae!" Kibum was cut off by a young man; about 2 years younger than Claire. The girl named Seonhyae looked at the man. "Oppa-Ajusshi. Eonni is back." Seonhyae told him. That man came closer. "So, you came back Hyaeri. Oh I mean Miss Louise Claire Evangeline Capulet." that man told her. "So, you're living with idols now, huh?" "Why are you so--" "Kibum-oppa, no need for that." Claire told him. "Kevin, Kibum-oppa, meet Han Seonhyae and Han Hyijung. My dongsaengs." Claire told them.
