After the incident, the people in Quirix wasn't much that surprised at Junhwa's death. He was cruel, unloving and terrible. The only person who cried for him was his wife who just returned from a far town.

His wife, Shim Haein is the new ruler of Quirix. Surprsingly, she was kind, loving and generous. Everyone in Quirix immediately loved her.

In the Raven's head quarter, the ravenlites were having fun. They were celebrating the peace that they have been craving for the past few years.

Hongjoong decided not to join them and visit his siblings, lover, butler and the guards. He decided to retrieve their bodies after they died.

"How are you all? I hope you're doing well." He uttered, placing a flower beside each tomb. Thanks to Wooyoung and Yeosang, he was able to put a tomb for each one of them.

"Noona, hyungs... I avenged you.. Seonghwa.. Jongho, Mingi, Yunho.. Thank you." Hongjoong added, smiling now looking up to the sky. "Seonghwa, the starless are under Joshua-hyung and Seokmin-hyung's control. While Yeosang, Wooyoung and San decided to join Raven Elites." He informed as if he was really talking to Seonghwa.

The young Kim sat and sighed.

"Jimin-hyung, Chanyeol-hyung, Baekhyun-hyung, Hoseok-hyung and Hyungwon-hyung was shock when they knew you were gone. I saw how it broke Jimin-hyung." Hongjoong shared, frowning as he remember how Jimin cried that day. He opened the beer he was bringing and drunk it.

"It was heartbreaking. It hurts me so much that I couldn't protect all of you. In the end, I was selfish and weak." Hongjoong spoke as his tears started to form in his eyes again. It was indeed heartbreaking to lose everyone at one day. Everything just vanished that time.

"Noona and hyung, Jungwoo-hyung and Yukhei-hyung had already left the Raven Elites. A lot of them actually left to live peacefully." Now talking to his siblings, he wiped his tears and chug the beer he was holding.

"Seonghwa, love, I'm sorry for not looking after the Starless villagers. Joshua-hyung volunteered that he will now take care of them." He added once again, inhaling and exhaling deeply.

"And for you, Sehun-hyung, I wish that you are with Jongin-hyung now. Same for Yunho and Mingi." The last statement he said, then proceeded to drink the other canned beer.

It was dark when Hongjoong came home. He decided to live with the raven elites since he doesn't want to go back at Quirix.

"Hongjoong, welcome home!" Jeonghan greeted him, the Yoon hugged him tightly in which he hugged back. Jeonghan was shocked that Hongjoong's hug were so tight but doesn't suffocate him.

Jeonghan just let the young Kim hug him, he knew that he is still sad due to the event that happend three years ago.

"I'll sleep now, hyung. Tell the others to sleep well and rest well," Hongjoong parted from the older and smiled. Jeonghan just nodded and waved at him good bye as he went upstairs.

In the room he was staying, it was the same room as he and Seonghwa that used to stay. As he entered the room, the flashbacks became so vivid, everything was so realistic for him.

"I miss you so much. Please visit me in my dreams." Said he, who was walking towards the bed. He threw himself to bed and wandered a little bit before drifting to sleep.

In Seoul, there's a popular bakery. A lot of people were going to that bakery to see the handsome baker and his boyfriend. Everyone is in awe, observing how sweet they are while working.

"Are you finished cleaning the tables?" Yunho questioned, walking closer to a taller guy who is wiping a round table.

The other turned to him and smiled.

"Yeah, I'm done babe." Mingi replied, pulling Yunho close to him. Yunho placed his hand around Mingi's waist and smiled at him.

"You are very pretty." Yunho suddenly uttered, making Mingi smile. "Thank you, sir." The Song replied, smiling cheekily.

Yunho buried himself at the other's neck.

"Save that for later, let's close the shop first." Mingi spoke, pushing away the other. Yunho didn't budge to move, instead he tighten his hands around the man's waist.

"Just a little more time." Yunho stated, Mingi just giggled and caressed his lover's hair.

Lisa and Jennie were at the foot of Eiffel tower. They were spending their time together as a reward for working hard.

Jennie is a celebrity and a model in France while Lisa is her stylist and a popular designer also in France.

"I feel peace and freedom." Jennie suddenly uttered, inhaling. Lisa smiled and nodded in agreement.

"It has been years since I felt this kind of freedom and peace." The lady Kim added, looking at Lisa who is busy admiring the stars.

Jennie smiled, it was comforting seeing Lisa smile.

"The moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it?" Lisa sweetly spoke, not sparing a glance at Jennie, "it is indeed," The young Kim giggled and rested on her lover's shoulder.

Jongho is silently walking down the street when he sighted the café he used to go.

The owner of the café is close to him, reason why he gets free coffee after work.

"Sehun-hyung, Jongin-hyung! Good afternoon!" Jongho called, smiling.

"Jongho! You're back early. Here's a coffee. It's an american latte made by Jongin." Sehun informed, handing the cup to Jongho.

"Thank you so much, hyung. How are you two doing now?" Jongho questioned, "doing well." Jongin suddenly replied, popping out of nowhere.

Jongin's a possessive alpha male, reason why Jongho has to back up a little bit from Sehun.

"How is your search for an omega?" Sehun asked, making Jongho frown. It's been a year since he started to search for an omega but he hadn't found his mate yet.

"Remove that frowning face, I'll get you a strawberry shortcake," Sehun insisted, walking towards the counter.

"Don't give up, Jongho. Your omega will come soon too," Jongin smiled at the other, lightening up his mood a little.

Hongjoong woke up, he was lying in the field of tulips.

"Feels familiar, I've seen this.."

Then realization hit him.

It was the tulips field where him and Seonghwa used to go when they were staying at the Starless.

Hongjoong got up immediately and walked towards a familiar place. He is in Starless.

There were no people around, it was quiet.

"Am I dreaming..? Or it was all just a dream?"

He asked himself as he walked and walked to the captain's mansion, in hopes that he can see Seonghwa after three years.

As he reached the place, he didn't hesitate to enter the house. And there he saw Seonghwa who was waiting for him.

"Welcome home, love." Seonghwa greeted him. The captain walked closer to him. Everything feels so real.

"Please don't wake me up."

"Let's go?" Seonghwa questioned which made him confused. He was visibly confused, making the captain giggle.

"Silly, we are going to roam. Don't you want that?" The captain added, smiling at him sweetly.

"Oh god, I missed the smile."

Seonghwa offered his palm, inviting him to place where the two of them only knows. Hongjoong, waiting for this day to come, he happily accepted his lover's hand and left the house.

"I love you."

"I love you more."
