Cold wind sweep through my hairs,and the feeling was rather soothing. Wait,how can i be outside? I open my eyes,to see that i'm standing in a field of grass. Weird,I don't recognise any part of EverHill like this.

"We're not in EverHill. That place didn't even exist yet." Jin said,suprising me.

"So we're...in the past?"

"Kind of,just...watch and i'll explain"

I was about to ask another question, but suddenly, i saw three boys wrestling against each other on the grass,their laughter filled the air.

"That's my dad! I recognise him from his old photos."

Jin nod,and pointed to another boy,who was as old as my father at that time, 10 years the most i think."How about that boy?"

"Umm,i don't know"

"I knew him as J, that's what people called him anyway,actually a particular no one. "

"J?As in the alphabet,J?"

"Yup,okay how about the younger boy?"

"Umm,he look like he's two- no,three - years younger than my dad and J. But i really don't know him"

"Come on,you really do know him."

I stare longer at him and i gasp,
"Lead General Suga?! That's him?"

Jin quietly nod,
"Woah,what happened to him.He was so cute when he was little,look at him now,so serious."

Jin just laugh it off,shaking his head at my nonsense.

"Maxon! Stop tickling! Suga,help me!" the boy,J yell.

"J is in problem,Suga must help. Maxon, stop tickling" Suga said in his half baby voice, i had to stop myself from squealing by his cuteness.

"Okay,i understand, they're having fun,so?"

Jin sigh,"You're impatient,just like always" He take a few stepped forwards with me trailing behind him.

Then,i found myself in a castle,upon the throne with the three boys standing in the middle of it. They're a bit older now,maybe around 20?

"Maxon,as the only son of Zeddys, you are now,allowed to travel and open up your very own place to rule."

"Thanks dad,i appreciated that." Maxon,i mean, my dad said calmly,but deep down, he really wanted to do his weird celebration dance that he usually do with me when i was little.

"Is he the only one?" J suddenly said.

"Since he's from my bloodline,i'm giving him the power to"

"J,we can open the land together,Suga can also come along." my dad said,clearly didn't see the irritate on J's face.

"I wanna join" Suga said with his gummy smiles,i never see he smile like that though.

"No,i don't" J said in a monotone voice and leave.

I stare at them sadly,but it's just an argument,i know that they're too close to be broken apart by a simple misunderstanding.

"They would get together,eventually,right?"

"I'm afraid they won't" Jin said,sadness is dripping from his words.

"Huh? But why? They were so close,don't you see the way they were laughing?"

Jin just shook his head,"This is the turning point,my lady. Pay deep attention."

We walked for a few more steps ahead until we came across a hallway, the mansion hallway i realise. I was about to walk forward,but then the sound of girl laughing stopped me.

I stare at the girl with hair tied into a high ponytail who keep bouncing on a chair . There was another voice,older than her, with nicely braided hair,putting her arms out.

"Jump!" The older one said and both of them tumbled down when the younger girl jumped down.
Before any of them is even on their feet, the older one touch the younger girl by her shoulder.

"Tag,you're it!"

I blankly stare at both of them, still processing.
"Recognise anyone yet?"
Jin suddenly said as i stare deeper.

"That girl,with the ponytail...is me"

"Yeah."

"But if that's me,then who is...she?" I pointed to the older girl.

"That is,your sister"

I gasp, she's what? Sister?
"You're lying"

"I don't"

"I don't...have sister"

"That's what everyone wants you to think,to believe. Your memory of her,is...erased."
