"Excuse me, where is Kim Soyoon's urn?"
"It is on the 3rd floor on the left wing"
"Thank you"

Yuna walked up the stairs to her mother's urn. She hasn't visited in years, the memory of her mother pained her too much. She arrived in front of her mother's urn container.

Tears started pricking at her eyes as she touched the glass box, containing her mother's urn. She read her mother's name as tears fell. Tears that said the words she wanted to say.

'Mom, I miss you so much. Why didn't you tell me, mom? I've been living my life clueless. I thought you were gone because of a freak accident, never did I think it was a planned murder, mom'

Tears streamed down her face as she started sobbing softly.

'Who's my brother, mom? I'm sorry that I didn't find out sooner and chose this path. Please show me, mom. I'm at a crossroad that I don't want to choose from'

"Excuse me, are you by perhaps Miss Yuna?"
Yuna stopped crying as she looked at the man that had asked her, offering a handkerchief to which Yuna accepted gratefully. Wiping her tears, she nodded her head.

"Yes, I am"
"Let me introduce myself. I am the manager of Limitless Morgue. The lady at a counter had informed me of a young woman wanting to visit Madam Soyoon's urn. I must tell you something, how about we take a seat?"

Yuna just agreed, eyes still teary and red as she followed the man to a long chair in a waiting area. The man pulled out an envelope and a letter, handing it to Yuna.

"First of all, I want to thank you on behalf of your mother's donations through out her lifetime. She was a huge sponsor to this morgue. This letter here is from a young man that had visited your mother's urn a week ago. He asked to give this to Kim Yuna if she ever comes. He visits monthly ever since your mother's death but this was the first time he had asked for something like this so I assumed it is important"

Yuna nodded, slipping the envelope and letter into her coat before turning back to the man.

"By any chance, do you know who he is?"
"He once said he was her son"
"I'm sorry but do you know his name?"
"He fills his name as Jung Sungchan, miss"

Yuna nodded her head, taking in the new information, grateful that her wishes and questions to her mother were answered.

"I'm sorry, miss but I must go attend some business at the moment"
"Ah yes, okay. Thank you for this and telling me this"
"Yes, Miss Yuna. Visit your mother more often, child. I'm sure she misses you"
"I will"

The manager then took his leave, walking away as Yuna sat back down on the bench. She knew Jung Sungchan was familiar as she tried to recall when and where she had encountered him when she remembered the boy she had bumped into during the mission at the school.

Yuna got up and started walking out of the morgue, not forgetting to thank the lady at the front counter. She got on her bike, going back to her own house.

'Mom probably left some other clues on who Sungchan is'

She arrived at the house, running inside to her mom's old room. She took a deep breath before opening the door, finding the room the same as it was the last time she checked, untouched.

Everything was dusty as she walked in, remembering the happy memories of her mother as they played. Her mother knew she didn't have all her life to dote on her so she spent almost every second with her.

Yuna refocused herself with the task at hand. She checked under the matress, inside and under the drawers of her vanity table. She straightened herself as she continued to think of where her mother would hide things when the words above the wall mirror caught her attention.

The mirror shows the truth and the beauty as it hides it's dark side.

Yuna then looked at the mirror which reflected herself, arms outstretched. She lifted the mirror slightly off the wall as a notebook fell out. Yuna placed the mirror back on the wall as she grabbed the notebook from the table.

She exited her mother's room, going to the living room. She flipped through the first few pages, it being filled with memorable moments of her mother with herself, the top of the pages written 'Yuna'.

She then flipped to other pages and found a few pages with 'Sungchan' written at the top. She started reading the first page.

Today was such a miracle. The world really is giving me chances. I found my baby boy at Yuna's school. I introduced myself to him. Of course he didn't believe me😂.

It took a few other 'coincidental' meetings until he finally believed me. He kept telling me Chunmyung said his mother was dead. Pesky old man 😒.

He told me about his life. He wasn't quite happy but at least, her sister made life a bit better. So the old man replaced our daughter? Poor child dragged into a life of this.

I also met his adopted sister, Seiko. She is quite a sweet child but she is so introverted. Oh, how Yuna could get along with her well. It is a shame that I have to keep it a secret from my baby girl.

Seiko said Sungchan and her were living in a separate house from their father, not wanting enemies to sabotage the heirs. It is so tormenting to see these kids having to go into this life despite their young age.

Yuna continued reading the rest, not noticing time had passed as it was almost 9:00PM when a knock was heard from her front door. Yuna's eyes widened. No one knew she was here. She peeked through her window, seeing Jisung and Chenle, who were slightly shivering from the cold.

She hid the book before running to the front door, opening it and pulling the two inside.

"What are you two doing here?"
"We were.. well, the whole NCT actually is out searching for you. You didn't bring your phone, any of your personal belongings as a matter of a fact. Kun ge also saw you running out of HQ, crying. Everyone got worried when you weren't back by dinner, thinking you ran away"

Yuna then glanced at the clock on the wall as it was indeed already 9:00PM. She saw Jisung pulling out his phone, probably to inform the other members.

"Don't. Don't tell them where I am just yet. I'll come back later when I'm done"
Jisung looked at Chenle warily, the older just nodding to Jisung to do what she says. He placed his phone back into his pocket.

It was silent for a second before Yuna told the two to take a seat. Both of them were probably still cold from staying outside so she turned on the heater.

"If I ask you two a question, will the both of you answer and not tell the other members?"
Chenle and Jisung looked at each other before nodding hesitatingly.

"Do you two know who Jung Sungchan is?"
At the question, the two widened their eyes. Just before they came here, Doyoung had told the members about Jung Sungchan, him being Yuna's brother.

"Your brother?"
Yuna's eyes widened, shock overwhelming as her emotions took control.

"How did you know that? No, when did you know that?"
"I..we don't.. Doyoung hyung said he found out today"
"What.."
"I found a letter in the shattered pieces of the lamp then I gave it to Kun ge. I didn't think he'd open it and read it"

This did not make any sense. She found only one letter. That being from her mother and it didn't even mention her brother's name once.

"Okay, okay but what I mean is, do you know anything about Jung Sungchan, at your school?"
"I didn't say this when Doyoung hyung asked but I guess you deserve to know since you're his sister"

Yuna nodded as she inched closer to Chenle.

"He's a nice kid, I guess. I did a project with him before. We had to do it at his house since I can't bring him to HQ"
"What was he like in general? Did you see his sister?"
"He's pretty chill and fun to be with but he's the quiet one at school, always hanging out with a 00 senior. And what did you mean by see his sister? Aren't you his sister?"

'Seiko isn't there? Mom's journal said they lived together. Is she in hiding?'

Yuna was deep in thought, forgetting Jisung and Chenle were there looking at her until Jisung's phone rang. He looked at the screen, seeing Doyoung's name, telling the other two to keep quiet while he talks. He answered the call, putting it on speaker.

Hyung?

Jisung, is she there? The others haven't
found her yet.

No, she's not at her house.
We're coming back to HQ now.

The three heard Doyoung mumble 'Where on earth is she?' on the other side of the call.

I'm sure noona will come back later.
Maybe she just needed some time?

I know, I know. She's grown enough to
take care of herself but she didn't
even bring her phone or said anything to anyone.

Okay, hyung. We're on our way back now.
I'm ending the call now. See you later.

Jisung ended the call before looking at Chenle, nodding. "We should go, noona. Come back please. The others are gonna start losing their minds"

"Yeah. Wait a sec, I'll just give you guys some hot packs. I saw you guys shivering earlier"
Yuna said as she went to the desk beside her secret door, taking out a few hot packs for the two. The trio went to the door, Yuna handing them the hot packs.

"Bye guys. Get back safe"
Yuna waved to the two as they left her house. Shutting her door, she went back to the sofa. Reading the little info and personality traits of Sungchan and just a few sentences mentioning Seiko. She then pulled out the letter from Sungchan in her coat.

She took a deep breath before opening the letter nervously.

Hi noona!

I don't know if you remember or know me but Seiko noona told me a lot about you. I just wanted to give this to you since I want to meet you personally.

I wish we weren't born under these conditions but father did say "Fate twists us in the worst way possible". You probably don't remember father though. Every month, I visit the morgue to maybe one day, meet you by chance but it never happened😔

I never got to properly know mom before she was gone but we met a few times secretly. She always talked about you, how proud she was and how she was sorry to me. I wasn't really upset since father is dead. I heard you did that.

I'm so grateful for it. Not that I wasn't properly fed or treated though. It's just he's always talking about the gang and how I'm gonna take over it one day. I didn't know Luna was my own sister until Seiko told me. You are a saviour.

Seiko noona has been busy so I got a little lonely these days. At least I have one friend. His name is Shotaro Osaki. I don't know if you know but Seiko noona actually has a twin brother. And yeah, we aren't blood related to Seiko noona in any way.

I feel like I'm going crazy by writing this letter like we've known for years. I hope I can meet you soon, noona. Stay safe as Luna.

P/s: I am more than happy if we even just accidentally meet each other.

From your younger brother that you
probably don't even know about,
Jung Sungchan.

Yuna was spilling happy tears as she read the letter, feeling the want to really meet and get to know him in real life. She folded the letter, placing it back into her coat.

She got up, getting her stuff before exiting the house. She looked up to the sky, feeling pumped up at the thought of her brother.

"Don't worry, mom. I'll come to him and protect him, just as you asked me to. Sungchan, I will go and find you"
