Joshua's POV

Left out.

That was the only thing in my mind.

It was what I'm going through right now...

Everyone were hudled up into a circle in the practice room, they decided to use their personal practice time to discuss on the disappearance of Jungah, my dearest little sister.

The three maknaes took Dongjae out for a walk, Dongjae still looked gloomy but nevertheless he kept a smile for everyone's sake so the attention will still be fully on his missing noona.

In anger and frustration, I drag my guitar with me to a room where we practice our vocals, I actually didn't have any intention to practice my vocals nor do I know why I brought my guitar along, I ended up staring at the music sheet in front of me soulessly, not actually wanting to play anything but desperately wanting to find away to lent out my anger on.

Suddenly the door was opened, "don't disturb me when I-" "ooh, sorry! Geez, you've grown some fangs haven't 'ya Josh?"

I look behind and quickly stood up and bowed, "o-oh, Aron Sunbae-nim! I'm so sorry I snapped at you like t-that, I-I thought you were one of the boys a-a-a-" "yo, chiiiill! Dude, I'm not mad!" He chuckled and then pat my shoulder down to sit on the chair I sat before, he then took a seat on the chair next to mine, "why are those boys hudled up like a bunch of politicians in a meeting like that?" He asked as he jab his thumb to the door, pointing at it, "we... are kinda in a trouble..." "We? All of you together?? Wow, that's new" he chuckled again.

I bit my lips and slump my head down, looking at the floor beneath me, "actually... I was the cause of the problem... now everyone's mad at me..." I muttered bitterly, I look up and saw Aron hyung raising an eyebrow at me, "everyone's mad at you? I don't think so Jisoo-yah..." "no, but it's true!!" "Okay, what's the proof?" "I'm not with them right now? Isn't that proof enough?" I nearly scoff at him, but remembering that he's 2 years older than me and is a sunbae, I held it back into a gulp.

Aron hyung then shrugged his shoulder, "well, have you tried joining in their talk?"

That caught me off guard.

My eyes widened and I stammered a little, "w-well... I would, but they seem like they won't accept me into the conversation..." I muttered, "that's just your assumption... before we go any further... mind telling me what's the problem here? Because I'm kinda lost" he said, grinning sheepishly while ruffling his hair slightly.

I was reluctant at first, I didn't want anyone else aside from SEVENTEEN to know about what's going on, but seeing him as a friend that I could receive useful advice from, I gave in and told him.

"So... to start off... I began imagining I have sisters-2 sisters to be prescise, a noona and a baby sister-when I was around 6 years old-ish... and it went on until I was 11-ish? I grew out of it but I'd still her remember the younger girl's voice and her vague face... it was until yesterday that the news broke out... our caretaker that have been working for us for over half a year is actually my younger sister, I really have a younger sister... half of Seventeen knew this but neither of them told me anything, not even a hint! They seem ignorant about this... she too didn't reveal it until my mom eventually did... that was infact by accident... now I really don't know how to handle the news or should I accept her as my sister or not..." my words trailed off.

There were silence, I look at Aron hyung confusedly, he was scrunching his eyebrows in confusion, "w-wait... so... the point of your story is... you actually have a sister? A younger sister?" "Yes, that's what I knew" "and... you don't know whether to accept her as your sister or not?" "Well, that's what I said... I mean it's just that-" "DUDE, ARE YOU CRAZY!? OF COURSE YOU SHOULD ACCEPT HER, SHE'S YOUR BLOOD-RELATED SISTER!!! SHE'S WHAT YOU NEED!! WHAT EVERY BOY NEEDS! A LITTLE SISTER TO PROTECT!" He suddenly exclaimed, jumping up from his seat and gripping onto my shoulders.
