The Hongs Reunite

Ch. 3

Jungah's POV

Me and mom ended up spending hours sitting on the couch, catching up with each other.

She remembered that I was taken when I was 2 years old, which means my sister was 7 and Joshua was 6.

Mom also explained that my aunt had actually left a letter saying that she took both me and my sister and went to a far away land. Bleh, how far is her 'far away land' aka New York to L.A? She's sure is a drama queen.

"How is she by the way?" Mom asked, refering to her sister, "she's good... she had a baby after some guy knocked her, her baby boy is now 4 years old cutie pie... she barely have time for him though, that's why he clings on me more than his own mother" I scoffed making mom chuckle a little, "well, that's your aunt! She wants something but after she owns it, she throws it away like a piece of trash!"

Me and mom chatted about almost the randomest things ever, we didn't even remember what we both were originally talking about.

"What was Joshua oppa like?" I asked, suddenly feeling curious, "Joshua, huh? We usually call him Jisoo in this house, he's a kind and nice kid, he loves his guitar more than anything! He even name his guitars!" The thought of him brought tears to my eyes and I suddenly cried again.

Once mom noticed my tears, she brought me in and hugged me, "hey... what's wrong? Aww, don't cry baby..." "no mom... I wanna see Joshua... I want him now... unnie, s-she wanted to meet him too... but she d-didn't get the chance to..." I cried in her arms while hugging her tightly.

Soon, we both were drowning in our own tears, crying over something that we didn't even know and for some reason, after letting those tears out, we both felt better.

A week later...

Mom and Dad took me around in L.A, and we had made a promise to not tell Joshua anything about me visiting them nor the fact that our sister had passed.

Joshua shouldn't be bothered by anything now, he had just debuted a couple months ago and I don't think drama will make him feel relaxed.

Just imagine if someone came knocking into your door and said 'oh hey! My name is ××× and I'm your sister! The one who is sepparated from you by our crazy aunt! And do you remember our sister? Yeah, she died a couple weeks ago... and now I'm going to live with you!' I bet he'll get a heart attack in a second.

"What time is your flight, honey?" Dad asked, we're eating breakfast together right now, "7.30 pm" I said while gulping down the homemade food mom had prepared, "can't you stay any longer? Your time here were so short..." Mom sighed while reaching to hold my hand.

I gave mom a small smile, "I've got to mom... unnie wants to see Joshua oppa and I need to do it for her... it'll only be fair... but! Remember, no words about this to Joshua oppa! Promise?" I said to the both of them and I received a nod and a gentle smile from the both of them.

We spent the rest of the day together and since it was Sunday, we went to the church after we ate breakfast, they introduced me to everyone they know, proudly saying that their baby girl had came back.

After that, they took me on a light stroll around the busy streets of L.A, they really spoiled me, they both bought me a silver necklace with a small diamond as a pendant, they bought two of it, "who's the other one's for?" I asked, "Your brother of course! We want you both to have some matching items now that you both will meet!" They squealed excitedly.

Wow, I never thought my parents would be this jiffy about me reuniting with my brother.

Sadly, night came sooner than I thought and they both drove me to the airport, "honey, are you sure you don't want to stay with us for a couple more days?" "Yeah dad, don't worry okay? I'll be fine!" I said while hugging the both of them.

"Promise us you'll contact us anytime you can! Call us if you need anything and please be safe there" Mom said while holding my hands, "okay mom, it's not like I'm going to war there... it's only korea and I know korean!" I chuckled, making them laugh a little.

After saying our goodbyes, I left them both and went into the waiting room.

As I was sitting in the waiting room, I suddenly got a kakao talk notification,

'Hey! This is Hyewon! Jin Hyewon! Eric said you'll be here tomorrow at 8, right?'
'Yes'
'Cool! I'll be picking you up tomorrow with my friend, okay?'
'Oh, okay! Thank you so much!'
'No problem! ^^'

With that, our chat ended and I soon entered the 12 hours long flight back to my grandma's hometown, Korea.

Long story short, the flight didn't seem that long, perhaps due to the fact that I was sleeping the whole way from L.A to Korea.

Incheon airport was amazing, it was very huge and it was more of a shopping mall rather than an airport...

After getting my bags, I went out to look for Hyewon and her friend. I didn't even need to look around as someone suddenly called my name, "Jungah!! Hong Jungah!!" I looked to the source of the voice to see a pretty looking girl, her hair was chest length and is light brown, she was wearing a very casual outfit, leggings and unbuttoned red checkered shirt with tight white tanktop inside.

I walked over to them, "are you Jin Hyewon?" I asked, "yes! Welcome to Korea! Wow, your korean is very good!" We then walked to the parking lot where her friend is waiting.

"Sungmin-ah! Yah, Choi Sungmin! Meet our new friend!" She squealed excitedly while banging on the driver's seat, "aish, no need to be so loud!" He groaned while opening his door, "hello! I'm Choi Sungmin! You must be Hong Jungah!" He smiled cutely and proceed to put my luggage into the trunk of the car.

They both brought me to Hyewon's appartment, her roomate is out of town for a couple of days and she said that it's better if I were to stay with her, "wow, my sister sure does have a lot of friends..." I chuckled while putting my bags in the living room, "yeah, she has a lot of connections between peoples, I'm curious about that too, though!" She laughed lightly.

"So, what's the plan? Or, do you have a plan?" Hyewon asked as we both sat on our own bed, well she sat in her bed and I sat on my mattress, "I think tomorrow I might need to visit Pledis entertainment" "why?" She asked.

And with that, we spent the night with me telling her about the story of how I ended up going to Korea all alone and stuff, along with us bonding together.
