Their father is Japanese but he studied in England and he taught them how to speak English since they we're young. Their mother is Korean who lives in London where she met their father. Their grandmother also lives with them in their mansion.
"It's fine. Everything will be fine. Let's go down now okay?" Jun assured his siblings who were very upset.
Jun helped his siblings go down the stairs and their parents were waiting for them there.
"It's your turn. Kota says that your grandpa had something separate for you. Don't cry. He's going to be sad up there to see you like that. Kota is waiting for you with your grandma there at your grandpa's meeting room." Their father said as their mother try to comfort them.
They went in the meeting room and met the assistant. They greeted him politely and sat down with their grandmother.
Kota is the same age as Jun and is quite young for his job but he is trusted by the family because he is their cousin and he does well in being their grandpa's assistant.
"Let's start with Mark. Mark please come and receive your gift." The assistant looks at Mark who was still wiping his tears.
He stood up and walked to Kota and they we're all surprised to see him give Mark a book.
"Mark. Your grandpa wants to give that book and it is a Hardy Boys book. He knows how you all love books about sleuths." Kota explained to him as he pats the younger's shoulder.
"Up next is Jun. Please get your gift." He gestures him to come closer.
Jun smiled but started to tear up when he saw the book.
"The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. He knows that you like him most of all sleuths so he picked that." Kota puts his hand on Jun's shoulder to comfort him as he spoke.
"Last but certainly not the least, Rian." Kota announced.
Rian wiped her tears and walked to Kota to get her book.
"Nancy Drew. He knows that you love and look up to Hermione the most but he knows your favorite sleuth is Nancy Drew." Kota explained again.
"That is all for now but if you're wondering, I want to tell you that he has something special prepared for you and you just have to find it. The clue is that it is in the book. Please give me a call in my room immediately if you solved it! Well, good luck!!!" Kota told them and winked at them before he left.
"Oh my God. I think grandpa wanted to test our sleuth skills!" Rian said and the three of them smiled as they look at each other.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go to the library to sort this out." Jun told his siblings as he stood.
They went upstairs to the library where their grandfather used to read them books when they we're young.
Rian touched the knob but she was hesitant and looked at her brothers.
"It's okay!" Jun told her, understanding that she just thought of their memories with their grandpa.
Mark just stared at his sister and was concerned that she'll cry again.
"No, it's fine. Grandpa wants us to solve this." She smiles and turns the knob to open the door.

The siblings sat at the sofa and started to open their books.
After an hour of reading, Rian closed hers. "Finished?" Her brothers asked at the same time.
"Yes! No clues or weird things written in the book. We know these books so well so I'm sure. We've read these a lot of times already. This is probably not it." Rian replied and sat back down.
She began reading the very last page and turned it and she sees a flap of paper shaped like a half of a circle connected to the back cover. She was so curious so she tried to pull the flap and so she found the secret compartment on the thick back hardcover of the book.
"Look what I've found!" Rian excitedly shouted to her brothers as she points to an envelope in the secret compartment.
The two boys did the same to their own books and found the same thing.
What could be in their envelopes? Stay tuned for the next chapter and please comment and give me a feedback!!! Thank you! 😇
