Silence filled the front porch as the rest of the family looked at the scene.

"He's no one" Jin said, turning serious as he faced Sunoo. "We don't talk about him"

"But hyung—"

"We don't talk about Lee Hyun" Jin said clearly, walking back in past the family.

"But hyung, who is he that we can't talk about hi—"

"We don't talk about Lee Hyun" Jimin cut off Heesung's sentence.

The rest of the family went back to the dining room without any more noise, leaving the Enhypen brothers outside.

"They're hiding something" Jay said.

"Definitely"

The 7 jumped as they turned around to see Beomgyu, Taehyun and HeuningKai.

"Hyungs? You don't know who he is either?"

The three shook their head. "We don't know, but Soobin and Yeonjun do" Taehyun said.

"They refused to tell us who he is when we entered the family" HeuningKai said, shaking his head. "You should've seen Soobin hyung's state before" He added.

They just sighed and followed back in.

"The house seems pretty quiet" Jisoo said. "What happened?" He looked at Sunoo who's mindlessly playing with the pendants on his bracelet.

"H-Huh?"

Jisoo chuckled, setting down his cleaning supplies (as he was making sure no dust touched his masterpieces). "It's the 6th time you've been spacing out Sunoo. What's wrong?"

Sunoo sighed, wearing the necklace as he faced the toy maker.

"You know that lantern that's permanently at the front porch at home?"

"Oh yeah, I've seen it a couple of times. Why?"

"They were new names there. Before there were only three; BTS, TXT and us, Enhypen"

Jisoo raised an eyebrow. "So?"

"Above BTS hyungs' was a name “Lee Hyun”. Then, between their and TXT hyungs' was a name “SVT”"

Jisoo nodded. "I see......Maybe a new group will join the family?"

"I'm not sure hyung" Sunoo said.

🌱

Niki paced around their room, thoughts and more thoughts were filling his mind.

"He lied........." He mumbled. "He said he had no other relatives. Not even dead ones" He looked up at the windows, the bright view seen before his eyes. "Then why does he have a dead brother with unfinished business?"

🌱

Things were going according to plan for the first day of Seoul Festival.

Until someone had decided to ruin the streamers.

"Blasted crystals" Taehyun muttered, looking at the streamers teared apart.

"Who would do such a thing?" HeuningKai frowned. It took them almost a day to finish the decorations and someone had just teared it down in one night.

"Did you see who did this?" Yeonjun asked the old lady who lived nearby.

The old lady shook her head. "The others guessed it happened when it's dark, when everyone was asleep"

Yeonjun pursed his lips, before thanking the old lady as he approached his brothers.

"Anything?"

"It's definitely done on purpose" Beomgyu said.

"A kid said she heard noises on the roof last night. It could have been the culprit" Soobin said.

"We're lucky they didn't trashed everything" Taehyung said.

"Guess we need to fix this mess"

The 5 looked around. Yes, the mess wasn't that big but it's literally 4 streets. Not to mention one street is already long enough.

"Ughhh" The groaned as they got to work.

🌱

"Sunoo hyung, I need to talk to you"

Sunoo was at the gardens of El Casa De Mahika, finishing shooting his video for his 4th episode of his vlog when Niki came out from the backdoor.

"Oh, hey Niki" He greeted, putting his tripod on the boulder table. "What's up?"

"Do you have a brother?" He asked right away.

Sunoo tilted his head. "Didn't you ask that question before?"

"I'm asking again"

"No. I don't" Sunoo answered, standing up. "Why are you asking the question?"

"Are you sure hyung you don't have a brother?" Niki crossed his arms. "Because yesterday the soul that I talked to said he was your older brother"

Sunoo furrowed his eyebrows. "Niki, you know I came from an orphanage. You asked the nuns there, I don't have a sibling let alone a brother"

Niki's mind was even more confused. 'Then why did he claim he was your brother?'

🌱

A man in his 30's sighed as he entered his secret room, looking around the small place.

"So someone did came here" He muttered, looking at the photo frames facing the wrong direction from what he seen earlier before he left.

"The house finally calls me huh?"

He looked at the photo frame.

"I just need to delay the party, just as I have enough courage to show up"

🌱

The night came in pretty fast than unexpected, as the village lights turned off, except for the street lights that's faintly shining.

Sunoo was up at the rooftop, laying his back on the brick roof while gazing up at the twinkling stars.

"Sunoo"

The boy sat up and turned around to see Yoongi being placed by a vine, just as the green plant retracted back to wherever it grew from.

"Why are you awake hyung?" Sunoo asked.

Yoongi chuckled. "I could ask you the same thing"

Sunoo sighed, lying back down. "Can't sleep. Something's been bothering me" He said.

"Mind telling Hyung?" Yoongi layed beside the younger.

Sunoo pursed his lips. "Yesterday, we went to Jeonghan hyung's bakery. Niki said he saw a soul and talked to him. He mentioned my name, but at first I just shrugged it off. It was until this afternoon that Niki approached me and asked me if I had a brother. I said no, because I never had a brother" Sunoo paused. "But why do I feel I did have one?"

Yoongi smiled sadly. "There will be an answer for that in the future Sunoo. But you need to focus on your present, not your past, nor your future" He ruffled Sunoo's hair. "Now let's go inside" He said, just as Sunoo let out a yawn.
