"EDEN!"
Daeho pushed past Myunggi who looked up with guilt, his eyes softening.
"Eden? Why did you say Eden?" He asked Daeho whose eyes desperately looked for the girl's. He spun around and grabbed Myunggi by the collar as he slammed him against the wall with full force.
"It's your fault!" He shouted to his face, shaking with rage, "what did you do?" He asked with a much harder grip.
"I—" Myunggi looked at him with guilt, his eyes tearing. "I didn't know it was her...I—I thought I was doing the right thing, but Eden—" he stuttered, letting Daeho push him over and over again. "I thought she was here already!"
Daeho let go of him and spun around to meet the door, slamming his fist against it, breaking into sins as he fell to his knees. The others stayed quiet, Jun-hee covering her mouth to keep herself from crying.
Hyun-ju held Young-mi's hand when she saw her shed a tear, "I'm sorry, Daeho...I slowed her down, it's...it's my fault." She told him.
Daeho paused, holding his breath as he stood up. He shook his head at her and wiped his tears, "no...it's—it's okay," he paused, turning to Myunggi with teary eyes. "Man, I..." he choked into tears, making him grab him and let Daeho fall into his short statue to comfort him.
Myunggi closed his eyes, trying not to shed a tear. He didn't know it was Eden, he thought she was already inside, if he knew she was inside, he would've let her go in instead of her, he would've let her live instead of her.
"Daeho..." he started with a small whisper, "If I had known it was her I'd— I wouldn't have done what I did, I'm sorry." He apologized, "I wouldn't have done that, I care for her, I swear. You have to believe me." He begged. Daeho cried on his shoulder, making the others' eyes soften.
Player 007 let go of his mother, stepping forward the the pair and patted his hands on both boy's shoulders, "maybe she's still alive." He said with hope.
Both turned to him, "did you see her?" Player 007 asked, making Daeho shake his head. "Then she could've found a room, maybe someone got to her in the last second." He raised his eyebrows with a small hint of hope.
The man in the bun looked back to the open space, his eyes roaming around the room to see if he could see the brunette. When he didn't, he sighed and looked back to the others.
"She better be."

"Ten seconds remaining."
Eden grabbed Young-mi and ruffly yanked her up to her feet. "Come on, young-mi!" She shouted, quickly shoving her into the room with the others.
Before she could enter, not noticing who it was, Myunggi shut the door close, leaving Eden outside.
