KNEW

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Bang. It's an honor to join you for dinner," Hyunjin said with a warm smile as he gracefully took his seat. Turning toward me, he extended his hand with a gentle invitation. I placed my hand in his, and he guided me to the chair beside him, his touch light yet reassuring.

Changbin, Hyunjin, and I were the first to arrive, but just as I settled into my seat, the sound of the front door opening drew my attention. Felix strolled in, his movements as graceful as ever, and took a seat directly across from me at the massive table. One by one, the rest of Stray Kids began to filter into the room.

And then she walked in—Hannah Bahng.

Seeing her in person stirred something deep within me, a fragment of a memory I hadn't even realized I'd lost. It was unsettling. Hannah felt... younger in my mind, like a little girl frozen in time. The memory flashed vividly: the two of us sitting on a blanket spread across the floor. She'd been talking excitedly about her brother, who had left to go to Seoul.

The sudden clarity hit me like a tidal wave. I gasped audibly. Hyunjin's concerned eyes darted to mine. "What's wrong?" he whispered.

"I-I need to talk to someone," I stammered, my voice unsteady as I rose from my seat. Without hesitation, I turned to Hannah. "Can we talk outside for a moment?"

Hannah nodded and walked outside with me.

"Hannah... do you remember someone named Eva Kang?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly.

She furrowed her brow, thinking for a moment before responding. "Isn't that your name?"

"Yeah, yeah—" I stammered, "but do you remember someone else with that name? From your past? Like... did you have an older sister? I-I lost my childhood memories, so things are blurry. But I keep seeing flashes of a kid who looked just like you, sitting with me, talking—" I paused to catch my breath.

Hannah's expression softened, and a slow smile spread across her face. "I knew it."

"What?" I blinked, caught off guard.

"I knew you were my sister," she said, her smile turning radiant. "I recognized you the moment I saw you. You haven't changed much—you still look the same."

Her words hit me like a tidal wave, and before I could respond, another voice spoke up behind me.

"So, it's true."

I spun around to see Aera, tears brimming in her eyes. She stepped closer, her face a mix of disbelief and joy. "You're my daughter. I knew it," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion, before pulling me into a tight embrace. "This is the best Thanksgiving gift we've ever received. We got you back. Eva Bang."

"I told you," a familiar voice chimed in. Mr. Bang approached, a smug grin on his face as he nudged Aera lightly. "Honey, I was right. As usual."

Aera laughed through her tears, and I couldn't help but feel the warmth of belonging.

"Mom? Dad?" I heard Chan call out. Aera released me from the hug and looked at him - "We found her Chris"

And Bangchan's face visibly dulled - "Oh"

And Felix- his smile widened again. He ran to me and hugged me - "Ah yes you are Chan's sister. You'd never know how happy i am now."
