My father.

My father was an exuberant enigma, an inspirational figure, a non-stop joker.

He smiled and rejoiced when my sister and I walked into the house once returning from school. He whistled when my mother wore a flowy sundress to the zoo. He hugged our shoulders when we were so stressed, we bawled for hours.

He was Hyun (L/N), and he disappeared when I was only twelve years old.

It was on the news one night. I saw his portait on the television screen, with the word "Missing" in big, bold letters. It was my favorite picture of him. His eyes crinkled at the corners with a smile plastered on his face. He looked so old and so happy, like, he was fully satisfied with his life.

That was last photo taken of him.

I don't usually talk about my father. In fact, I try to forget he ever existed. But, it's hard to forget when you look in the mirror and see his face where yours is.

It's hard to forget the consistent sobbing that came from my sister and mother.

And I'll never forget the night Vivian broke one of my guitars because she thought it was my fault he disappeared.

I never really understood why she thought that.

She apologized, though, for everything she said. She even saved up enough money from selling candy at school to buy me a new guitar. But I still think she blamed me.

After his disappearance, Matt would always walk me home from school, making sure that I was alright. He knew the vulnerable state my family was in, so he chipped in as much as he could.

He'd bring food his mother made for us, he'd baby-sit Vivian, he clung to my side like a leech to an ankle.

Soon, he was a big part of our family. He was a big part of my life.

So whenever I look at Pidge's face, I can't help but see Matt. My heart ached as I yearned to see him again. I never heard from Matt after he was accepted into the Garrison. He wrote me emails every week but, I never opened them.

I was too caught up in my sister death to even look at them. In fact, I don't think Matt knows that Vivian's dead.

Maybe Pidge would know something about Matt. He could dig up stuff about him with his fancy tech.

-

"Hey, Pidge." I knocked on the dreary looking door, making my presence known.

"Yeah?" He was too busy typing away to even look at the doorway.

"Can you help me find someone?"

"I can try. Come here." He patted the space next to him.

I walked inside his room, being greeted with a mess that felt weirdly homely.

Dropping to the ground, I sat next to him. I admired his dedication to this technology and I envied his intellect. I was glad to have him our team.

"So who did you want to look for?"

"Matt Holt." I stared at the complex screen in front of me, waiting Pidge's typing.

When no typing occurred, I furrowed my eyebrows at Pidge's delay.

"W-why?" He croaked.

"He was one of my best friends when I was younger. I lost contact with him and I just want to know what happened to him and his sister."

Soon, a series of sniffles came from Pidge.

"How did I not recognize you?" Pidge mumbled.

I looked at him and saw him shaking slightly.

"Oh god, are you alright? You don't have to if it's too mu-"

"No, that's...that's not it" He managed to throw out.

"Then what is it?"

He didn't speak, but only wept.

Soon, I wrapped an arm around his shoulders, hugging him closer to my body. I hated seeing people cry. It made any situation awkward.

He calmed down just tad before speaking up.

"(Y/N)," He wiped his eyes with the side of his hand. "Matt was my brother." He looked up at me with solemn eyes that we're glossed over.

I let my grip on tighten and slightly pushed him away from me. I took a look at his face and studied it.

A face that I had seen sometime ago was now sitting in front of me once again.

"...Katie?" I choked.

She began to nod vigorously, tears running down her cheeks.

"Oh my god." My eyes began to water, tears spilling at this revelation that gave me some type of closure.

I engulfed her, her head resting on my chest. She quickly wrapped her arms around me, a feeling a familiarity surrounding me once more.

After a few moments of being reunited with one of my loved ones, a question etched it's way into my head.

"What happened to Matt?" I blurted.

It took Pidge a couple of seconds to fully admit what happened without breaking down. She took a few deep breaths before answering me.

"He was one of the people who went missing on the Kerberos mission."

The Kerberos Mission. I remember the day I heard of the three men that disappeared, but I wasn't really invested on who went missing. I was busy trying to find somewhere else to live.

However, my heart collapsed once Pidge finished speaking, my body reacting at this sudden yet upsetting news. I threw a hand over my mouth to suppress the guilt ridden sobs that we're escaping my throat.

"He'd always write to you, but you'd never respond. It broke his heart." Her voice cracked.

"I...I know. But I couldn't open them. It hurts too much Katie. I couldn't speak to him. Not when my sister was sick." I wiped my nose to get rid of the tearful snot.

Katie nodded sadly though, falling into me.

I grabbed her shoulders and forced her to look at me with eyes full of melancholy.

"Katie, listen. I promise we will find Matt. I don't care if it kills me. You'll get to see your brother again.

She smiled at me with her warm eyes that made me feel Matt was sitting right front of me once again.
