Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

As the night comes, darkness covered the whole world, light keeps trying to gave vision just to clear the path for anyone to see it. A girl moves as fast as she could, gasping as her heart beats fast. She moves as fast as she can, but her toe bump  upon a rock and fall forward. She turn around to view the backward direction with her tears flowing like waterfall. "Don't come," She said, "Please go away" a figure of a man stepping forward. His shadow shaded her, he breathe like a bull, like a dragon with a fire in the mouth and a smoke coming out of its nostrils. "Die" he said, "Die!!" he pierce her flesh with a knife in his hand like pecking a block of ice to be crushed into pieces. Her scream break the silence, then the scenery fades as she open her eyes and found herself in her bedroom. She started to have her eyes wet with tears as she sat beside her bed, touching the bandage that was attached to her neck. The door opened and she quickly turn around, seeing her mom checking her out and asking her if she's ok. Her mom sat beside her and kissed her with her hands fixing her hair, then she bury her face on her chest and the tears began to flow, she started to produce a siren sound and sniff with her stuck-up  nose.

She went to the balcony, with her eyes swollen, witnessing the scenery outside as the light is now finally conquered the whole world and open all the closed eyes, awakening them from their deep sleep. "Mizuki, your cousins are here" her mom said, she went to where her cousins waiting for her. "anneoyong Mizuki" said her cousins. They invite her to go outdoor with them and hangout. Mom gave them the permission to take Mizuki with them. After an hour of conversation as Mizuki come out of her room finish changing her cclothes, they say goodbye to Mizuki's mom and left.

Huge buildings are around like people attends a gathering, as the living beings below moving on their own directions while others stay in one place, and some crowded inside the  buildings where they're doing their own different objectives. Some are having a conversation with one another about important and not important matters. "How's your daughter? Is she ok now?" The other one said, "Thank goodness sir she's fine, she and my wife are here with me while she's in a recovery stage" After the discussion ended, he excuses and bow to the other one before he leaves. On his way, the others meet him along the way, giving him small presents that makes his jaw drop. "That's nothing compare to your help when my wife need to have chemotherapy Mr. Jae" one of them said, "we just want to bring back your kindness to us, hope your beloved daughter will recover soon" He excuses himself after saying anything and went to do his objectives. Mr. Jae looked at them as they do their work gladly. He breathe deeply as he try to paint a smile on his face while his eyes blinking rapidly then rub it with his finger. He went to a room, open the door and go inside. He take a seat in a table where only him fits in, inside the room where things are organized and all are in a good arrangement. The blue sky and cotton like clouds can be seen through the open window with transparent glass.  Mr. Jae pick up his phone and call someone, "Hello Hak, how's Mizuki? Are they with you now?" he said.

A young man wearing a white shirt and jogger pants sitting in the park speaking with someone through the Phone, Mizuki and her cousins look around like an owl rotating their heads in a different direction, "He's over there" her cousin said, and they went on to the location, where the guy wearing white shirt is sitting while talking with someone through phone. "They're here Jae-hwa, they just arrived on time" he said.

Mr. Jae on the other hand ask the person on the other side, "can I speak with my daughter?" he said, the person on the other side gave the phone to Mizuki, "Mizuki, your dad want to speak with you" Schedules, boundaries, Mizuki and her dad having conversation through phone. "enjoy your cousin's company with uncle Hak-kun darling" said Mr. Jae-hwa, "Yes dad" Mizuki replied, her dad entrusted her to Hak-kun, then he check his watch,  "Anyway, I need to leave you at the care of your uncle Hak" Mizuki then gave the phone back to Hak-kun, "Take care of Mizuki for me Hak, annyeonghi gyeseyo" Hak-kun assured Mr. Jae for the girl's safety, "I'll take care of them hyeong, Anneoyong" the call has ended and Mr. Jae-hwa proceed to his work.

Hak-kun and the young people goes to the restaurant, people inside are like vultures feasting on a flesh with their companions, Hak-kun ordered a food for him and the youth. They occupied a table for them where the food will land like a manna falls from heaven. As Hak-kun prepare chopstick, Mizuki reacted like a prey spotted its predator, her eyes widen, her mouth opens and her hands holding a chopstick covers her neck where the bandage was attached. "It's ok Mizuki, look it's just chopstick" Mizuki releases a deep breathe as her hand placed on her bandaged neck removes slowly, she almost want to release a seed of tears as her body become cold like ice.

The food finally landed on their table like a plane landed on the airport, Mizuki, pick her food, "Itadakimasu" she put the food on her mouth, but she can't properly eat if her neck's muscle move, "Just have a small bite for now," one of her cousin said, "Thanks Hwan" she did as her cousin told her to do, bite a small piece enough for her to consume and swallow. People from the nearby table looked at the girl who have a bandage on her neck and arm, "Poor little girl" one of them said. They have their eyes on her sometimes with their face of requiem. Mizuki try her best to consume all her food, striving to fill her stomach even bit by bit.

After they finish eating, they went back to the park and stay for awhile, "Bong cha will arrive anytime, she has a place for us to go" Hak-kun said. As the clock ticked, A girl wearing white dress stepping forward to the spot they're staying, as she reach them, she stops and looked at Hak-kun's eyes with her sweet smile, "Hello Hak," she said, "Anneoyong Bong Cha" Hak-kun approach her and their arms wrap around each other like spider catches its prey. They share their smiles and greetings with one another, while Hwan and two others shakes as result of the cinematic scene they saw in real life instead in the romantic shows of TV and movies. Mizuki looked away, gazing upon the clouds, the wind blew her bangs away with her long black silky hair like a flag in a pole, her twinkling eyes that was like precious pearl becomes dim slowly by slowly, her pinkish lip stretched slightly and a hole appears on each side of her cheeks. "So where will we go first?" Mizuki's cousin asked, "At this time, I'll have you choose between them Ae-cha" Bong Cha replied, "How about you Hwa-young?" Hwa-young and the others already decided and they ask Mizuki if she likes the place they choose, Mizuki nodded, "So what are we waiting for? Lets go" Hak-kun said. They went to the place, witnessing different sceneries that was like pieces of heavenly paradise on earth. Like horses being unleash in the beautiful grassland and mountains, they tour around with freedom. Mizuki sometimes looked around and was so alert, if she notice someone holding something even if it's one of her companions, she'll turn into a terrified prey spotted a predator, turning pale and cold. Bong Cha always walk beside her and speak with her time by time, "Don't worry Mizuki, uncle Hak is here for you, I'll never allowed anyone to touch you even Hwan himself" they'll turn their eyes into Hwan, "What do you think of me a bad guy?" Hwan's eyes grow huge, and all of them laugh like hyenas, Mizuki on the other hand stretches her lips and her teeth becomes visible but suddenly she cover it with her hand then shook her head. Bong cha smiled as she witnessed it.

Mizuki's mom done cleaning the house, "I hope you'll recover soon my child," she said inside her head, "I thought we will lost you forever" She goes back in time when she learn about what happened to Mizuki, she went to the hospital and saw Mizuki in the bed lying, supported by oxygen, "she lost a lot of blood, she needs blood transplant," the doctor said, she burst in tears as she's watching her child in a critical state. She waits for the doctor to finish the operation.

The doctor approach her to inform her about Mizuki's condition. "How's my child doc?" she asked, "She has serious injury maam, but she'll be ok" the doctor replied. Mizuki awakes after twenty four hours of deep sleep, she burst into tears, "Mom, my left eye can't see clearly" Mizuki said. The doctor told them that Mizuki's sight was affected due to her injuries and she will suffer a partial blindness on her left eye. She return to the present, having tears on her eyes.

Hak-kun brought Mizuki to home after their trip, "Till next time Mizuki," Hwan said, "No problem" Mizuki replied, "All of you, take care" Ae-cha, Hak-Kun, Hwan and Hwa-young departed and Mizuki left alone infront of their house. She goes inside and met with a warm hug from her mom, warm and tight that she almost don't want to let her go. "Did you enjoy Mizuki?" Mizuki's mom asked. Mizuki told her everything they do, she have all her attention to Mizuki's stories of their trip outdoor.

One day, Mizuki went to the bathroom, she remove the bathrobe covering her body, revealing the wounds on her back, chest, hand and neck that was stitched while she's hearing her own scream inside her head with the voice of a man shouts "Die" many times. Her closed eyes began to release a drop of tears as she wrap around her arms on herself. She look at her hand with a small cut that was stitched, while her tear's flow increases like flood and landslide.

Bong cha went to Mizuki's house and pay a visit, her mom met Bong Cha on the way, "Anneoyong haseyo Mrs. Akiko" she bows, "Anneoyong Bong cha" she accompany her inside and offer her tea to drink as she wait for Mizuki. Mrs. Akiko calls Mizuki and told her that Bong Cha is here, Mizuki went to where Bong Cha is, "Anneoyong Bong cha" Bong Cha smile as she saw Mizuki, "Anneoyong Mizuki" she said. Bong cha spend time with Mizuki and the girl found comfort on her presence as Bong cha giving her assessment and strengthen her hopes and dreams, she do a job like a doctor, but giving treatment to emotions, giving cure to a broken heart and fixing ruined souls like a builder and engineer fixing an infrastructure as she listen to Mizuki's stories and becoming a cure to her wounded life. She also becomes an exorcist for her as she did her best to drive out the ghost of her past who bring back all her darkest past to her in her goodnight sleep. "Can you visit me time by time? And also, can you come with us again if we go outdoor next time?" Mizuki said, "Sure, just tell me so that I can fix my schedule" Bong Cha replied.

"Do you like stargazing?"

"Yes, I am"

"Well then, I want to invite you in my house, we will have stargazing" Bong cha said, "Tell your cousins, I'll tell Hak-kun as well"

"Sure, when?"

"Next three weeks, because it's my day off" Bong Cha replied, "As we wait for the evening to come, we'll hang out together as usual"

"That's awesome, pretty sure Ae-cha, Hwan and Hwa-young will like it also"

Bong Cha check her phone, "Anyway, I need to go now" She stood up, "Come again next time Bong Cha" Akiko said, "I'm glad to be Mrs. Akiko," Bong cha lower down her head slightly, "Anneoyong Mrs. Akiko, Anneoyong Mizuki" she said, "Sayonara, Bong Cha" Mrs. Akiko replied. Bong Cha smiled then she left.

Tall buildings standing everywhere, showing off to one another like hiphop guys in a rap battle contest, people around are like ants without Queen moving on their own directions while different types of wheelers moving on every roads provides for them. Bong cha goes to the coffee shop, take a table and sit with another empty seat placed in the opposite side from her, she tap the screen of her phone multiple times then she turn it off after and look outside. Someone arrived, he opens the door of the coffee shop and go inside and Bong Cha smiles as she saw the one who come in, "Hello my love" he take a seat on the chair placed on the opposite side of the table as they looked at each other's eyes, exchanging sweet words with one another. "How's your session with my niece?"

"Thankfully, she's quiet recovering from her trauma now" Bong cha said, "And I hope she'll recover soon Hak"

"Thank you so much for accepting my favor to be Mizuki's personal therapist"

"No problem Hak-kun, just for you I'm glad to do so" Bong cha smiled, "And I'm glad I do it, Mizuki is now like a baby sister to me"

They ordered two coffee and share moments together, bringing breeze of valentines day inside the coffee shop where hearts fly around celebrating a minutes of romantic event. Bong Cha sip on her cup, "By the way, I want to go out with all of you again in my day off" holding the cup of coffee, "Sure" Hak-kun said, "I've been to Mizuki's house recently and I asked her to tell her cousins" Bong Cha looked at him in the eyes. Bong Cha looked away seeing the youth walking around, "We'll just keep her experience outdoors," She said, "so that she'll no longer feel the terror of outside fearing those things on happening to her a again"

They take a walk after having a coffee date, doves are so busy walking around the ground, people around doing their own business. They stopped for awhile, Hak-kun check on his phone, "He's on his way" Hak-kun said.

The time passed by while they're staying in one place sharing sweet talks with one another, Hak-kun turn his head and saw a man coming towards them, "Anneoyong Mr. Jae" Bong Cha slightly bowing her head down, "Anneoyong Bong cha, looks like you have a good time together" Jae-hwa smiled at them, Hak-kun approaches Jae-hwa and great one another like kids, "I can't believe you're a man now Hak-kun, before you're just a little child, time fly so fast" Jae-hwa said, Bong cha can't stop herself seeing them in the funny way. "Thank you so much, both of you for helping my daughter on her recovery"

"That's nothing big brother, I owe you everything since our parents past away," Hak-kun said, "You're the one who took care of me when I was little, most of all, Mizuki is my beloved niece"

"As of me Mr. Jae, it's my job as a psychotherapist to help my patient and I'm glad to do so"

Jae-hwa nodded, his eyes started to moist, he tighten his lips and close his eyes as he take a deep breathe and exhales. Bong Cha and Hak-kun looked at each other and pause for awhile before resuming their sight on Jae-hwa, "Anyways, it will be Mizuki's  birthday next month, I would be glad if you're all complete" Jae-hwa said.  "No problem Mr. Jae" Bong Cha replied.

Mizuki in their house, facing a laptop, with someone inside it speaking with her, "How's your Mom Mizu-chan?" the voice in the laptop said, "She's fine," Mrs. Akiko comes as she heard Mizuki and the voice mentioning anything about her, "Who's that Mizuki?" Mrs. Akiko show herself in front of the laptop, seeing a girl in the screen speaking with Mizuki, "Konnichiwa Akiko-San" The girl in the screen bows her head down, "Oh, konnichiwa Saaya, how are you?"

"I'm fine, when will you be back here?"

Mizuki and her mom looked at each other, was muted for a short period of time, Mizuki expanded her lips stretching its opposite sides to opposite direction, as she and Saaya in the screen facing each other, "Is there something wrong Mizuki?" Saaya said, "Nothing, but I don't know, I hope I can soon" Saaya was muted as well as she listens to Mizuki. "I hope you'll recover soon Mizu-Chan" said Saaya, Mizuki looked at her mom then back to Saaya, "Please tell Aiko and Ai I miss them"

"No problem Mizuki, still I never lose hope that we will reunite once again"

Saaya and Mizuki say goodbye to one another after a session of discussion about their friendship's matters. The call has ended, and Saaya in the laptop's screen disappeared and then she turn off the laptop and close it.

Mizuki went to the balcony and look at the dark sky which was populated by multitude of stars, and she remember the time when she was with Saaya, they're in the vacant lot sitting and gazing above the same sky she currently saw. They're eyes twinkle with the star, wishing that the moment they had will be forever only if it's possible. As they gaze upon the stars, a shooting star appeared, "look! a shooting star" Mizuki said, Saaya shared about her knowledge of a shooting star where people made wishes on it, so on Mizuki know about the tale of the shooting star that a lot of people knows. The scene ends and Mizuki return to the current time. She smiled at the stars, and turn her back on them to go inside the house and close the door. After the door closed, a shooting star show up.

One day, exactly the sun rises to light up the whole world and to wake up all the living beings of the day, in the house, Mizuki's dad is putting on his neck tie. Mizuki on the other hand, raise up from her bed, stretching her arms in the air, she opens her mouth and turn into a vacuum absorbing air inside but stops and she hold her neck, as she show up her teeth and close her eyes forcefully and lend on the wall, "Ouch!" she hisses after saying the word. After she become fine, she move on and brush her teeth. Mr. Jae, is ready to leave, exactly Mizuki show up, "good morning dad"

"Good morning darling, come here"

Mizuki move towards him and he hug her, "I need to go, see you later Hon, see you later Mizuki"

"Take care Jae-hwa hon" Akiko said.

"Take care dad"

As Jae-hwa took twenty steps away from them, he turn back to see the two and he smile then went on. As he reach his destination, inside the building where he always spend his time in a whole day acting as a machine to do what was programmed him to do as long as he was maintained of having the amount he needs for him to continue his function in the field where he was assigned. Each of them have their own functions and tasks everyday according to the program assigned to them, from small to huge objectives. Mr. Jae was a machine programmed to maintain order and organization of the building with someone under his command to act as his eyes to survey and walk around the field as people around doing their job as a living machine with their own tasks and program to do everyday. As the one who act as Mr. Jae's eyes done doing his task he'll return to him to tell everything as he and Mr. Jae record it. He also told him about one of the worker that was so sick but he still going on, and he ask his acting eye to call him in his office. He brought the man in his office, he was almost pale having less energy, but he insisted that he can still do the job. Mr. Jae keep convincing him to go home and have a rest for awhile, still he keep insisting because he badly need a money, Mr. Jae sigh, "Here, take it, please this time don't disobey me, please take a rest" the man shut his mouth and slowly receive the money that Mr. Jae giving him. "Thank you so much Sir," his eyes started to release tears as he bow his head again and again,

"Your health is more important for now" Mr. Jae-hwa said.

"Thank you so much again sir, anneoyong"

"Accompany him"

Mr. Jae-hwa's acting eye escorted him out of his office, Mr. Jae look at him and nodded then he resume scanning all that was written in a thick notebook.

Ae-cha, Hwan and Hwa-Young was seen by Mizuki outside their house from the window, she went to the balcony and wave on them. She then move outside to meet them. The three bring Mizuki a news about a coming concert in Seoul that will be performed by the famous idol group. Ae-cha act insane as she fantasize the group of a well known personality that was a prince charming of the girls around the world. A group of stars twinkle in the sky that was so hard to be achieved without going to their bedtime sweet dreams. But shooting stars still part of the star's society, but shooting stars that was dropped in front anyone is so rare and few. Ae-cha keeps dreaming while her eyes are open, so on Hwa-young. "Mizuki I brought one ticket for you as well, please come with us" Ae-cha said, "Bong cha and uncle Hak-kun will be there too"

"Eh! really?" Mizuki's eyes widen,

"Yes, because Bong Cha is a fan of Boy's Town Stars too, please Mizuki come with us" Hwa-young turn into a puppy eyes,

Mizuki take a deep breathe then exhales, "Ok, I'll come"

Ae-cha jumped out of joy and wrap her arms around Mizuki, "Ouch!" Mizuki place her hand in her arm that has a bandage on it, "Oops, sorry, I'm really really sorry" Ae-cha returns to her normal self and woke up from her day dreaming. Hwan, Ae-cha, and Hwa-young fix their schedule about the said concert.

The idol group, spend the time preparing themselves for the coming concert, giving all their lives to perfection as they keep dancing day and night in the presence of the one who has authority almost of their entire life as long as they're under the domain of their rules. Sometimes he scream at them just to reach the perfection he wants them to have.

Mizuki prepare herself for the said concert, she keep gazing upon the ticket that Ae-cha gave her, she put on her good clothes like she's going to a grand party exclusive to showbiz personalities and dress herself like a celebrity as she always do even if she wear a simple clothes she still looks like a showbiz personality.

On their way to the venue, Ae-cha almost turn wild like a zoo animals wrangling just to escape the cage, Bong cha and Hwa-young discuss about the group all the time that it becomes the topic they talk about until they reach their destination. The place is so populated, like ants in a war against huge insect to be devoured. Sea of people flooded the place mostly young people who have the same fantasy and daydream of the idols. They go inside the venue to see them performing the perfection they keep maintaining daily. As the stars appeared in the sky, all gazer's spirits awaken in a full charge energy to shout at the top of their voice as they saw the guys of their fantasy. Mizuki covers her ears as the explosion of screams erupted. Mizuki watch the guys performing at the stage, and a scenery has flash in her mental vision, she is on the stage performing together with Saaya and two other girls, wearing elegant clothes that catches the attention of all men in front of them even the middle aged individuals cheering for the girls. As Mizuki returns to the present, she sighs and look on the ground then she look away, gazing on a far direction.

After the performance, the group have a minute of meet and greet so that the fantasizing fans will have a chance to meet and greet them. Ae-Cha and Hwa-young become more wild that no chains and cage can stop the two even a huge dog catcher's net with a strong man using it. Horde of young people crowded the place, they meet the group one by one in a short period of time buying merchandises with their faces printed on it. As Mizuki watching meters away, another scenery flash inside her mental vision that she herself did the same thing the idols did, in the scene where she has her bright smile as bright as sunshine in a beautiful cloudy day together with the blue sky. "Arigato gozaimasu" Bowing to her fans who have their day complete and stresses wipeout. The scenery flash out, and in the present, Mizuki's pearl like eyes started to become wet like soaked sponge being squeeze. Tears fall and flow in Mizuki's cheek, and she walk away, "Mizuki is there something wrong?" Hak-Kun try to chase her but Bong Cha stopped him, "Let me do it" Bong cha follows her. She stumble upon the people around who started to block her vision and finally lost sight of her. Bong Cha keep looking until she found her in an isolated area looking away, sniffing and breathing deeply. She stops, "Mizuki, are you ok?" Bong Cha said as she stands behind her. Mizuki faces Bong cha, her eyes moist again, Bong Cha say no word but she hugged her and rubbing her back. Hak-kun, Ae-cha, Hwan and Hwa-young notice them, Ae-cha and Hwa-young who was dancing and celebrating switch into requiem as they saw it. Hak-kun, Ae-cha, Hwan and Hwa-young stare on each other without saying any words and then they come to Mizuki who was finally relieved after Bong Cha talked to her.

They went to Bong Cha's house and enjoy each other's company looking up the sky that was filled with stars. Hwan preaching about his scientific knowledge about stars while Hwa-young and Ae-cha still have the last song syndrome of the idols and still can't move on about their dream guys whom they finally touched for the first time makes Hwan talk only to himself, "Are you guys listening to Me?" Hwan said, Hak-kun and Bong cha forced to say yes just to avoid humiliating him, "That's good, listen to the genius" He gain his confidence even more after knowing he have two audiences, "Right Mizuki? Mizuki do you hear me?" Mizuki is gazing away and was not with them mentally but Hwan awakens her and she quickly turn to him, "Eh?" She said, "Ah, y-yes, I'm with you" She smile then look up to the sky, telling them about how beautiful the stars and how she and her best friend way back used to gaze upon the stars usually. She pause and turn mute for a second and slightly bowing her head down, her bangs hang like a curtain and makes a shadow to shade her eyes and take a deep breathe. She slowly lift her head to gaze far away exactly shooting star appear that catch her attention and she quickly look at it with her eyes turns bright as star, she smile as the scene of her and her best friend seeing the same shooting star flash in her mind. Mizuki celebrates her birthday a month later with her mom and dad, uncle and cousins, most of all, with Bong Cha. Like riding a vehicle and walking on the way to own destination, the time is moving forward as the clock's arm counting the numbers.

As time is passing by, Mizuki's cuts and slit closes and reattaches, no need for a string to stitch it. They have a picnic together, Mizuki, her parents, her uncle and cousins also Bong cha, they cherish each other and enjoy each moment. Mizuki tell them how much she loves them, and she bring something to them. Bong cha receive a stuff doll from Mizuki, "Is this.. Me?" Bong cha smile showing all her teeth, "Yes, because of you, I'm no longer afraid to go out now, because of you.." Mizuki stops and gasps as she turn emotional, "Are you ok?" Bong Cha said, Mizuki smiled , "Never mind, nothing I can say but thank you so much Bong Cha" Mizuki give her cousins gifts and even her uncle Hak-kun. "Only if I can bring you with me in my flight, but somehow, destiny separates us" Mizuki said, "But I know, our strong bond together won't be broken even by separation"

Mizuki's time to leave comes, they take Mizuki and her Mom to the airport, they group hug as they say farewell to her. "Please, have a vacation sometimes" Bong Cha said,

"Sure, one day I'll visit you again, have me as your guest to your wedding with uncle Hak"

"No problem dear," Bong Cha replied. "Anneoyong Mizuki"

"Anneoyong, all of you" Mizuki and her mother left, distance started to cover up each other until they lost sight of one another. Even distance and kilometers started to separate them. Mizuki is finally arrived on their destination, she walk around but she find herself alone, she notice the place is almost a ghost town, She goes inside the house scanning every area and found a girl lying without moving, she rush to pick her up, "Saaya, Saaya wake up" She shake the girl again and again, the door behind her opens and a hand holding a knife appears, a figure of a man slowly by slowly appear, "Die, die, die" Mizuki put the girl down and she ran away as fast as she could, she can still hear the voice saying the same word. The day is so strange that it quickly turns into a night, she almost reach even the edge of the world by running. She end up in a cliff in which below are all black and the bottom is total darkness. She turn around as she notice someone is approaching her, "Die," Mizuki was left with no choice but to sit flat on the ground, knees leveled together with her leg bended opposite sideways and feet pointing backwards, she use her palms to cover her face and started to weep, begging for her life to be spared. The man fall down in front of her, she take a look and remove her hands covering her sight and before him, a man with a katana, wearing an ancient clothes and having long ponytail hair that was waving together with the wind like flag in the pole is standing. The man put his katana back on the sheath and then the scene disappear and Mizuki open her eyes, finding herself in the plane, she look at the glass window and saw the land below where they're slowly landing. The plane finally touched the ground, when it stops, the passengers finally can walk in the ground after the life in the sky seeing nothing but only clouds. Mizuki looked around having mixed feelings. They take a ride on a train. While the train is going on, she look outside the window to witness the scenario that welcomes her without making sounds, like they're greeting her welcome back. After a long ride, they take a walk around the crowded place where tall buildings are standing and people are walking and crossing the street. They finally arrived at their destination, "I really miss these house so much," Mizuki ran inside and tour around the house like she's finally free from a long time being leash. Mizuki's mom calls her and inform her that somebody are looking for her, she go outside slowly to check who, she was relieved and ran to them, "Saaya? Ai? Aiko?"

"We miss you so much Mizu-Chan, how are you?" Saaya said,

"How's your wounds?" Ai added,

Mizuki show them her scar, a mark that will remind all of the previous events of her life, the tombstone of her dreams. "Only if I knew all those things will happen, I'll never leave the house instead" Mizuki's bangs hang like curtain with its shadow shaded her eyes. A thought came up in Ai's mind and she told them about the coming cherry blossom season, "We'll go together as usual, especially now we're finally complete" Ai's arms wrap around Mizuki. "Good idea," Aiko added.

Mizuki, Aiko, Ai and Saaya meet each other one day, completely gathered not later than minute. They went to the place where they agreed to go. All the people of the land was so fascinated in the cherry blossom scenery, two brown guys took picture of the cherry blossom, they speak differently from the people around, and the two of them only understand, "Sa pinas tuyong dahon lang meron tayo" the brown guy said, "Oo nga eh, at dami pa lilinisin pagkatapos" the other one replied. The brown guys started to laugh as they talk, sharing stories with one another, and the people around looked at them including Mizuki and her friends. "Naku pre pinagtitinginan na tayo oh, makaalis na nga" the brown guys left the location and move away.

The brown guys go home when the sun goes down. They talk about their experiences outdoor. They're living in an apartment, and inside the apartment, as they took of their shoes and change their clothes, exactly someone knocks the door, calling out names Jason and Billy, "Pre si Michael," they open the door for him, "Kumusta lakad nyo mga pre?" Michael said, they told Michael about everything including the moment of the cherry blossoms and then joke about the falling dry leaves falling from the tree because that's what they have in their hometown unlike the cherry blossoms that the place has. They ask Michael to come with them next time, but Michael refuse because he need to save money for his brother's college.

Not long after, the two fall asleep, Michael sat for awhile, with his head bowing down and hands in front of him touching each other while his eyes close.

Michael goes to sleep but interrupted by a voice saying the name of a girl, he turn on the light to find out who was it, he saw the other guy trying to touch his lips to the other guy's lips and cuddling him, he keep gazing upon them, the other guy opened his eyes and slowly slapping the guy multiple times who was trying to close the gap of his face to his, "Hoy, sira!" the other guy wake up and immediately push the other guy away and ask what happen as he notice them awake. Michael say the name of the girl the same way he says it previously, "Loko ka Billy, di ako si Shanaya" attempting to hit him with the pillow.
