The story began with people walking along the road they believed in.

Taeyeon sat down beside Tiffany's bed. Tiffany was drifting off to sleep. Taeyeon smiled and she pulled the blanket up to her chin. She flinched as she

touched the key necklace.

It was a horrible night. Tiffany got shot at her throat and she died. Tiffany died.

Taeyeon sighed.

"What have I done?" she asked herself.

Her padlock necklace dangled on her neck. Again, she flinched.

Taeyeon turned to the hanging wall clock. The sun should be rising soon, she thought. So she stood up. She walked out the room and went down the

stairs. She slowly passed the living room, the kitchen and she opened the back door.

Taeyeon walked pass the gazebo. And then she stopped in front of a guy she knew so well at the prairie, Eeteuk.

"Oppa," she said.

Eeteuk was angry, disappointed.

"You crossed the line. Even as a Potential you don't have the right to play God," he said.

"I know. I understand," Taeyeon nodded.

"What's dead should stay dead, Taeyeon."

Taeyeon swallowed her saliva.

"Now look what happened. You're no longer human," Eeteuk stared at the padlock necklace.

"I'm human," Taeyeon said.

"Humans don't have their lives in that little jewelry!" Eeteuk snapped, causing Taeyeon to step back.

"What do you want me to do, Oppa?"

"You should've let her go!" Eeteuk threw a lightning to the ground next to Taeyeon, "I've told you so many times that you can't overuse your power!"

"If you hate what I did so much then kill me!" Taeyeon screamed, "you have what it takes to kill me, Oppa! So do it! I won't fight! Kill me! Unlock me!"

Eeteuk shot a lightning to Taeyeon's stomach, lifted her off the ground and she fell down hard.

"I'll kill you!" Eeteuk roared. He raised his hand, lightning in his body was ready to blow but he stopped. He stopped when he sees Taeyeon crying.

"Kill me," she said, "unlock me if that's what you want to do, Oppa. You've been pushing that agenda since you knew I'm a Potential. So do it now."

Eeteuk clenched his teeth.

"I don't care if I die now but I want her to live," Taeyeon sobbed, "I'd give my life for her and I did, so kill me. But I just can't let her die."

Eeteuk took a step back, he was hurting. Taeyeon never cry, never. But now she was like a child.

"Why, Taengoo?" Eeteuk softened, "why did you have to go so far?"

"I love her," Taeyeon lost her voice, "I love her."

"I can't let her die. I was holding her in my hand, she was gasping for air, struggling to stay alive. What would you do, Oppa?"

Eeteuk sighed and a tear dropped from his eyes. It was only because he had to see his precious junior went down to hell and came back with her life

inside a frail necklace, he was angry. Eeteuk was always feels that he has to protect everyone but he failed protecting Taeyeon and Tiffany.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, "I'm really sorry."

Each one chose a different road.

Sunny was pointing a gun to a guy, her best friend.

"I'm sorry it had to come down to this," she said.

"I can't let you take her," the guy said.

"It's my job to take her," Sunny was firm with her words, "and yours too, Oppa."

The guy looked down to the floor, "she's like my sister. I can't let you take her to the facility."

"Oppa, don't make it harder," Sunny pleaded, "I came alone because I don't want to put you in trouble, please."

"You can't."

"They'll cure her at the facility."

"No."

"Oppa!"

"No!"

The guy jumped at Sunny, they fell on the floor, struggling. The guy punched her at her face and successfully stripped Sunny from her gun.

"She's my sister!"

"Wake up, Oppa! She's a Gifted!"

The guy swung his elbow across Sunny's face and planted a kick on her stomach. Sunny lost her balance.

"She's raw! She doesn't even know what she is yet!"

A hard blow landed on Sunny's head. She was disoriented by the blow and in her confusion, a cable wrapped on her neck, choking her.

"You're not taking her!"

Sunny struggled to break free but it was futile. "Oppa."

She almost lost her breath when her hand touched her gun. Desperately, she grabbed the gun and shot her friend.

The guy stumbled back and fell. Sunny gasped for air, her gun still at the ready.

"Sunny?," the guy gritted his teeth, "spare her."

Sunny was shocked. She just shot her own best friend.

"Remember your own family," the guy said under his breath, "Yoona is my only family."

Sunny dropped to her knees, "damn it, Oppa. Why'd you have to do this?"

"Keep her safe? for me," then he stopped moving.

Sunny threw away her gun and her body trembled in fear.

"Oppa?"

Sunny turned around to see a girl, standing in horror, crying.

**

Some started at the same line.

Seunghyun watched his superior standing in the stairs looking down to a young guy.

"I want in!" the young guy shouted.

His shirt was covered in blood and his face showed a great terror.

"This is not child's play! Go back home!"

"I don't have a home anymore! Gaea destroyed it! I want in whatever you're in, Uncle!"

The older guy lost in his thought.

"Come on," the younger guy pleaded, "she killed my whole family. Your family."

Seunghyun watced his superior walked down the stairs and looked his niece in his eyes.

"Prove yourself worthy, Junsu."

"I will!"

"Not just your skill, but your loyalty."

"I will."

Seunghyun frowned. Back then he knew that this guy would bring only misfortune to organization.

**

And some crossed paths whether they realized it or not.

"What's your name, Unnie?" a little girl asked. She was sitting down in a park. Beside her, a woman with long hair was crying.

"Me?" the girl smiled, "my name is Shiyeon. What's yours?" she wiped her tears.

"My name is Sooyeon! We have a similar name," the little girl chirped.

"We are," Shiyeon laughed.

"Why are you crying, Unnie?" Sooyeon asked again.

"Hm?" Shiyeon put her finger on her chin, "I did some bad things, Sooyeon."

"What bad things?"

"I? hurt people."

"I once hurt my dog too, Ggul. And then I cried because Ggul won't play with me anymore."

"That is exactly how I feel right now."

"But I'm not sad. Mother said I can't cry."

"Mother?"

"Yes, my mother. I live in that orphanage right there."

Shiyeon fell silent.

"You're an orphan?"

"Yes."

"Just like her," Shiyeon thought to herself.

Shiyeon looked inside Sooyeon's eyes and she smiled, "Sooyeon. Now I will give you something that you can't lose, okay?"

"I also gave one to my friend in Jeju. Promise me you will take care of it."

"Yes."

Shiyeon smiled.

**

And some roads end at the same line.

"You what!?" Seunghyun couldn't believe his ears.

"I'll be the one who responsible for her," Hyoyeon said.

"But she's a Gifted, Hyoyeon!"

"I know."

"So why are you even asking me this?"

"Because Sunny asked me to."

Seunghyun, again, couldn't believe his ears, "what?"

"Sunny asked me."

"That's it? That's your reason?"

"Yes."

"And how did you know that she's not making a mistake? I mean, putting a Gifted in your unit?"

"I don't. I just trust her, that's all."

Seunghyun sighed. "You girls are crazy."

"Fine," Seunghyun nodded, "what's her name?"

"It's Princess."

Some roads end before reach its line. And the story begins again.

Jessica opened her eyes and she looked at her side. An empty space. On the small desk beside her bed, she found a set of clothes and glass of warm

milk.

She sat up and stared at the window.

It was just another day, ordinary day in a crazy world. The only difference Jessica felt inside her was that she lost half of her heart, soul and mind.

And there will be no use to cry and regret. She was dead the day she killed Yuri.

After getting ready, she climbed down the stairs and found her friends. Siwon was stretching, Taeyeon was preparing breakfast while Tiffany, half

asleep, lying helpless in front of the TV.

Then Eeteuk came in with his girl bicycle. As Jessica's eyes met his, her head stung by a sharp pain. She scrunched her eyes just to see the old theatre

hall, the piano and a gun.

The distorted of image of Eeteuk smiling weakly. He will be the death of her.

Jessica snapped her eyes open and she saw Eeteuk walked in front of her, going for the kitchen.

"Morning, Jessica," he smiled, an eerie one.

Jessica took a step back and nodded. And after all this time she was feeling serene and comfort, fear instill her heart.

"Morning, Oppa."
