"Her name was Mia."

The words circled in her mind, around and around on a carousel of disbelief.

Celine ran outside the cafe, breathless and lightheaded. She didn't feel the cold as she plopped down on a bench, grabbing the ends of her hair.

Jimin ran after her with the same flushed look, his eyes narrowing at her with utmost focus.

"Mia." She repeated, the name cement, sticking to the roof of her mouth.

She'd been dead for two years now, a little more. No one else dared to utter the name aloud.

Jeongguk didn't even know she had a sister.

Jimin, knew her sister. He had talked with her. Seen her with his own eyes. Probably laughed with her, listened to the soft way she spoke. Fell in love with her art.

He knew her.

Suddenly the world she kept so secret felt dangerously exposed.

"Mia El Gallab?" Her sister never went by Kim. They only started abbreviating their last name after Celine was born.

Jimin's expression crumpled with confusion,"Yes, how did you-"

"She's my sister Jimin. That's why I have her painting."

Pulled out of the air, letters melting like snowflakes on her tongue. But she finally said it, and Jimin heard every word of it.

First he was in disbelief. Then shock. Then more confused than ever.

Then it clicked.

He took her cold face into his hands, bringing her closer to him. Celine watched the way his tongue traced his lips in thought, eyes taking in every feature she possessed.

Realizing her and Mia were sisters, and that they favored each other, if not in the smallest of ways.

Little did she know, he'd seen her face before.
