Incheon International Airport, SK

Han Katarina's POV

It's been ten minutes since our private plane landed. I am walking towards the exit when I realize the place is familiar with me.

Are you okay? You keep on looking around? Ari asked me.

I just nodded. I saw people camera flashing towards a certain person far away from us.

Ari, what are they doing? I curiously asked.

Oh! That? Maybe that girl over there is a celebrity you know like an idol. By the way, you need to wear your mask. Ari said as she put my mask in place.

I furrowed my eyes.

I mean your late twin sister is a celebrity, idol right?! The public might happen to know you as your sister. Ari explained.

She's right. Yeon told me that I have a twin sister here in Korea. When my dad and mom divorced, my mom had the custody of my twin sister while I'm with my Dad. He also told me that he is adopted by my father but I treat him as a real brother. Unfortunately, my sister died two years ago due to an accident. Is it a coincidence that I also had an accident two years ago? I don't know what happened because my dad and Yeon didn't bother to tell me the details. I don't know if it's just me thinking that they don't want me to know things about my mother and sister. I didn't bother to ask them because we ended up on misunderstanding things. I know they're hiding something from me. But, what can I do? They are the only person I know who knows my past.

I felt someone tap my shoulder.

Kat? Are you okay? Ari worriedly asked.

I look at her and nod my head. I guess I space out.

I'm asking you if you want to eat first or go to my house? Ari asked.

Let's just have a rest first. I answered while smiling.

You're beautiful  especially when you smile. I wish I always see that in you. She suddenly blurted out.

For some reason I got shy. I know I'm pretty when I smile because my favorite person used to tell me that.

I know. You're beautiful too. The guys around us kept looking at you. I said.

She looks at me and laughs.

I know. Let's go? My secretary already waiting for us. She happily said.

I guess my friend is happy.

I thought we are going to stay in their house but to my surprise she brought me to her solo apartment.

Are you surprised? We are staying here. Our house is far from the city. She said.

But- you told me you're going to visit your parents? I asked her.

We will visit them tomorrow. For now, let's take a rest first because eleven hours flight is no joke. She answered.

By the way, should we just order food?Korean food? She asked me.

I-Its okay. American dish will do. I said.

Come on! Let's eat authentic Korean food. Ari whined.

I don't remember eating Korean food. I reasoned out.

Ugh! Then, it's about time you eat. She said.

JYPE, South Korea

Mina's POV

We are now here in our designated practice room for the song choreography. Last week, we are done with the recording. Dahyun had a hard time with the rap verse but she completed it and we are proud of her. I can't help it not to remember when the nine of us smiling brightly even tired during our comeback practices. I felt lacking whenever I saw there were only eight of us standing in front of the mirror. I miss her loud laughs whenever we are randomly playing during our practice breaks. I miss the artist of Twice. By the way,  PD-nim didn't agreed yet about us studying to Budapest. I can still remember how his jaw dropped when Jihyo ask for his permission for them to accompany me. Am I asking too much from them? Am I risking our career for my curiosity? Am I hoping that the girl I we saw is Chaeyoungie?!! What if she is Chaeyoungie? What will I do? Why she didn't remember me? Ahh! Stop Mina! You're overthinking again..

Myoi Mina? Hello? Are you listening? Momo asked.

What? I asked her as I looked at her and around the practice room.

Where are they?! I asked.

Geez. You're not! They went to the cafeteria to grab some food. Momo answered.

Again, next week will be our MV shooting. Momo added.

So? I asked frowning.

See? You're frowning again. What I'm trying to say is focus! You need to focus so that we can finish our work to make our fans happy. Momo reasoned out.

I know. It's just I can't help it not to miss her. I sadly explained.

I know - because I miss her too. I mean the members also misses her. All of us even the staffs. But- we need to move on. Momo answered.

I just look at her and nod.

I am trying to move on but it wasn't easy. It's difficult not to miss her at a moment like this.

By the way, did you try to contact your parents? If not, it's about time you should Mitang. They are worried about you. Momo said with a hint of scolding me.

I-I didn't. They will just get me into another business arrange marriage. I reasoned out.

Tsk. How many times they should told you that they are sorry for what they did. You are also at fault when you didn't told them about your relationship with our Cub. Momo scolded me.

I-I know I'm at fault on that part. That's why I'm feeling guilty. I-I always thought that maybe if  I'm brave enough to tell them as soon as possible that accident might not have happened and she's with us today.

Tsk. And, how many times I tell you that it's not your fault that she got caught into an accident. I just want you to talk with your parents. As much as you miss the Cub, they also miss their daughter. Momo said smiling at me.

It's about time Mitang to forgive them and yourself. Momo added.
