oonoh walk in the dining room only to be welcome by a cold atmosphere. After leaving Korea, he return to USA where his family is living. The day he returned, the sight he sees was his parents adopting some kind of man 2 years younger than him. "The food is getting cold, eat" His Mom did not spare him a glance. "Leave" He slightly kick the chair he owns where his so-called brother is sitting.

"There's a chair beside, just sit there" His Mom finally look at him. "I refuse. Hey, whatever the fuck is your name, leave" He kick the chair again. "Taeyoon, just sit on the other one" The younger boy nods standing up from the chair. As for Yoonoh, he sat down on his chair lying the napkin on his lap.

"Hyung" Yoonoh close his eyes in frustration. Yoon Taeyoon or now biologically Jung Taeyoon's annoying voice were always calling him that. "Leave" He sighs flipping the page on the book he's reading. "Hyung, can we just be brothers? Like what siblings are?" The man almost begs him. Yoonoh face the guy still sitting in his swivel chair. "I'm an only child, I don't have a sibling" He rolls his eyes. "I know but Hyung, I heard from Mom how you treat your friend Jisung as your brother, how about me?"

"Jisung and you are different. So different. Don't even try to be him cause you'll never be him. Now, before I lose my patience, leave and don't show up in front of me. You're the last thing I want to see" He glare at the man. "And for your information, Jisung and mine's relationship won't be and will never be the same as yours"

"What do you mean we're going home to Korea?!" Yoonoh shouts slamming his hand on the table. "We've been here for almost all your life, we should head back" His Mom answers. "I just arrived here!" He even flew to USA as soon as he can so he could run away from Jiyoon and others and now, without even a week he arrive, they're coming back home?

"Are you running away from someone?! Did you do some crime there that you're so against us coming back there?!" His Mom shouts. "Mom, I'm your son. What makes you think I would do such a thing?! Did you forget that I'm your son after adopting that trash?!" He points at Taeyoon who's standing at the corners quietly. "Jung Jaehyun!" His Mom yells. "Yoonoh!! I'm Jung Yoonoh! Even my name..." He sighs. "Don't even start with me regarding your name, you are biologically born Jung Jaehyun"

"I'm not coming back to Korea" He states. "You are coming back with us whether you like it or not. You sleep under my roof? You follow my rules" His Mom replies. "Your roof? Mom, I was the one paying for everything here. While that trash you adopt was nothing but another burdensome of mine. How old is he? 20? And what's he doing? Lying around like some rag! Why—" He was cut off by a slap across his cheek.

"Jung Jaehyun! Why are you like this? You're not like this when I'm taking care of you, what exactly happened in Korea while you're living alone?" His Mom question. "It doesn't matter if something happened there, we're not coming back to Korea" He declares. "Oh we are. No buts or even a word from you Jung Jaehyun"

Jiyoon sighs washing the probably hundredth plate she washed this day. After dropping out of school and parting ways with everyone, she work nonstop by multiple part time job. As of now, she's waiting for the result of the interview she had last week.

She applied to work as an administrative officer at a company. She got lucky since they're accepting worker without experience or degree. "Miss! One more soju here!" She heard one customer call. "Yes! Wait a minute!" She removes the pink gloves going to the fridge. She grab one bottle delivering it to the desire table.

Jiyoon wore her gray jacket on exiting the now close store. She put on her hood beginning to walk home. The night breeze did not help her tired body, it only adds more pain to her aching body.

It's been 10 days, since everything happened. She won't deny that she somehow had peace for herself. Even after all the things happened, her family's death and Yoonoh. Before the guy bid his farewell to her, he said all the things he want to tell her.

"I didn't know I was the toxic one, sorry, Yoonoh" She mumbles out of nowhere. She wanted to apologize to Yoonoh but she don't know where to begin. Is this a foreshadowing? When the time comes that Yoonoh returns, it's her time to chase him. It is indeed foreshadowing.

"Mister, give me one" She hands the older man a coins as payment. She accepts the paper and pen writing what she desires on it.

𝓘'𝓶 𝓼𝓸 𝓼𝓸𝓻𝓻𝔂 𝓨𝓸𝓸𝓷𝓸𝓱, 𝓯𝓸𝓻𝓰𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓶𝓮

She fold the paper giving it back to the older man. It was a festival where she pass through. She walk to the other side of the bridge waiting for her letter to be sent on the water. It took a few minutes until she saw it floating on a DIY paper boat. Her letter stands as the mainsail. She cross her arm watching the paper boat sail.

That's when she realized what she's done. She immediately run after the boat which ends up on the other side of the bridge. She run pass the people going to the location of her boat. "Mister, that's mine" She calls as a man in black shirt and jeans. "Yoonoh? Do you know who is Yoonoh?" The man face her. "What do you mean?" she replies. "My brother is name Yoonoh" No, this can't be Yoonoh's brother, Yoonoh is an only child. She snatch the paper on the man's hand.

"It's none of your business"
