The Kim's and Baeks arrive just in time to stop them.
The parents get filled in by detective Geum and are told to take the kids home
The Kim's take Bong Soon and since Won Ho's parents aren't around and Min Ho only has his grandmother left the Baek's take them with them.
Mrs Baek :(crying) I promised your mother I would look after you boys.I've failed her once now I won't do it again.
She hugs Min Ho
The boys get in the car and the silence is deafening.
MEANWHILE...In the Kim's car Mrs Kim sits with Bong Soon as Mr Kim drives home .
They soon arrive and Bong Soon goes straight to her room .She sits on her bed still covered in Myung Soo's blood.
B.S mom :You have to go bath.
Bong Soon doesn't reply but just drags her self to the bathroom and slams the door
B.S mom:(anxious shouts) I'll be right here if you need anything !
Bong Soon: Okay!
Bong Soon opens the tap and sits in the tub fully clothed.She doesn't even close the drain so the tub doesn't fill up.Tears fall down her face as she stares into space.
Mrs Kim just sits by Bong Soon's bed waiting for her to come out .Mr Kim comes in to check in on her.
B.S mom: (crying) I've never seen her like this. She's really broken.
B.S dad: I don't even know how to help or comfort her.
B.S mom: Will she make it through
B.S dad: Our daughter is strong she might be able to but if she can't pull through we'll help her .We have to be strong for her
B.S mom: You're right
B.S dad: I'll go make something for her to eat
B.S mom: Okay I'll wait for her.
B.S dad: (sad)I wonder how Min Ho is taking this..
B.S mom:Poor thing lost his brother and father on the same day.
B.S dad: I wish I could help him in anyway. He helped me so much when I was living alone plus he's a good kid with a good heart.
B.S mom:It really is a shame that all this had to happen.
MEANWHILE..at the Baek' s
Min Ho is standing in the shower fully clothed watching his brother's blood go down the drain.
Soo Hyun comes in the room with fresh clothes and checks on Min Ho.
Soo Hyun: Are you okay!
there is no response
Soo Hyun: (anxious) Min Ho!
He remains silent
Soo Hyun:(worried) I'm coming in!
He barges in but Min Ho doesn't move an inch he continues looking at the drain.
Soo Hyun: You scared me for a minute
Min Ho:(meh)Sorry
Soo Hyun: It's okay,...i left some clothes for you on the bed.
Min Ho:(sad)Thanks
Soo Hyun:(awkward) I'll leave you to it then.
He leaves Min Ho staring at the drain and goes to check on Won Ho.
Won Ho: How is Min Ho ?
Soo Hyun: He's just so defeated,I really want to help but I don't know how
Won Ho:(petting him)You're a good friend
Soo Hyun: How are you holding up though?
Won Ho:(fake smiling) I'm okay
Soo Hyun: (worried) Shin your bestfriend just died and you haven't even cried .You guys we're inseparable practically brothers so don't even give that I'm okay bull.
Won Ho: (chuckles) He made his decision so what's there to cry about .I've know him all my life ,we did everything together.I was the bad kid everyone was told not to play with and he was the good kid everyone wanted to play with but he wanted to play with me, only me. Then he goes and takes a bullet for that girl who practically arrived yesterday. What kind of selfishness is that. (sad)He didn't think about us,he didn't think about me.
Soo Hyun: I understand you're hurt but blaming Bong Soon isn't right,I'm pretty sure your friend wouldn't be too pleased by that. Plus she must already feel guilty enough then you go and add that pressure on her she'll surely snap
Won Ho:(smashing the wall) I just feel betrayed
Soo Hyun: I get where you're coming from and that's okay ,just don't blame someone who's suffering just as much as you.It's times like these we stand together not turn on each other
Won Ho: I get what you're saying but it will be hard for me to see her with being reminded of him
Soo Hyun: You'll figure it out
He paces about as he controls his temper.
Won Ho:(calm) I guess I was a bit harsh on her.I'll try to control my temper better next time.
Soo Hyun:Okay,if you need anything feel free it's as good as your home now.
Won Ho: Okay thanks
Soo Hyun: You must be tired I'll leave you to it.
Won Ho: Okay
Soo Hyun: And hey... don't be afraid to cry,just let it all out.It's much better than keeping it bottled up.
Soo Hyun leaves the room
Won Ho: I need a drink....
MEANWHILE...As Soo Hyun is exiting the room he sees Min Ho going downstairs. He doesn't stop in any of the rooms and goes straight out the door.Soo Hyun silently follows behind him.
Min Ho makes his way to the morgue as if he's in a trans. He manages to get access to his father's body .
Min Ho: (sad)You didn't deserve this way. (cold)You deserved the most gruesome death on earth... (mad)How could you do that to me!...(teary) How could you do that to my precious mother?...(crying) How could you do that to the purest soul on earth, my little brother!...I wish I could resurrect you just so I could kill you with my bare hands....
MEANWHILE ...Mrs Kim starts feeling uneasy as Bong Soon has been in the bathroom for a really long time so she goes to check on her
B.S mom: Dear...are you okay?
She remains quiet
B.S mom: (scared)Bong Soon!
She remains quiet
B.S mom: I'm coming in!
She goes in and Bong Soon is still sitting in the tub silently crying. Mrs Kim breaks down at the sight of her daughter .
B.S mom: (wiping her tears )Princess, please tell me how I can help you. I can't stand to see you like this.
Bong Soon:(sad)Tell me everything will be okay
B.S mom: (teary)Everything will be okay
Bong Soon:(breaks down) It's all my fault
B.S mom: Don't say such things,it's not your fault. Nothing is your fault.
She doesn't respond
B.S mom: Let mommy give you a bath okay.You'll feel much better.
Mrs Kim washes Bong Soon then gets her dressed in fresh pyjamas.
B.S mom: I'll go check on your father
Bong Soon: Okay
B.S mom: I'll be right back.
Mrs Kim leaves just as Bong Soon remembers something .She goes to her closet ,takes out their hoodie and puts it on .She takes a deep breath as she just hugs herself .All of the fond memories start overwhelming her so she sits in a corner crying her eyes out .
She cries for a while before deciding to leave.She exits the house without getting noticed. Mrs Kim comes back to check on her daughter only to find her missing so she starts panicking.
B.S mom :Where could she have gone!
B.S dad :(frustrated) How did we not see her leave.Whats wrong with the security at this place.
B.S mom : (crying) This can't be any good
B.S dad: We need to look for her
They call anyone and everyone they can think of but no-one has seen her .They inform the detectives now everyone is on the lookout for her.
MEANWHILE...Min Ho finally exits the morgue only to find Soo Hyun waiting for him .
Min Ho :How long have you been waiting here for?
Soo Hyun: Not long ,anyway I want to take you somewhere
Min Ho: Where?
Soo Hyun: You'll see..
They get into a taxi then soon arrive at Min Ho's grandma's house/shop .They enter and she's been anxiously waiting for them. She rushes to hug her grandson and they just cry together.
Grandma: I was on my way to the village when I heard the news and I immediately started making my way back here.
Min Ho: I'm glad you're here
Grandma: (sobbing ) I'm sorry I failed you both .I should've been more attentive, I should've cared for my grandson's. This should have never happened
Min Ho:(sobbing) I'm sorry I failed you . I promised I would look out for him but I couldn't even help him.
They just cry in each other's arms
Soo Hyun:(awkward) I'll get going now
Min Ho: Stay
Soo Hyun: I thought you might need time alone with your family
Grandma: You're practically his brother... stay,we've got enough room
Soo Hyun: Okay ...thank you
MEANWHILE...Bong Soon arrives at the Chan's residency.
The yellow tape left by the cops doesn't stop her from going in .She goes straight to Myung Soo's room and falls asleep on his bed.
