Forget Me Not [ satzu ]

twenty-three

While Tzuyu was busy with Eunbi, her friends, on the other hand, were having another meeting in their private room.

"By now I think she already saw everything about Sana, should we interrogate her?" Nayeon asked, pertaining to Yiren.

Jihyo purposely handed her personal USB to Yiren to confirm that the Chinese girl knew something about the person they believed as the clumsy Sana.

"Why not just wait for the DNA result? We'll know it anyway." Momo said.

"Momo-unnie, the result will come out after a week and by that time, Sana-unnie's birthday already passed." Chaeyoung retorted.

"Actually, that is the point I gave Yiren my personal collection," Jihyo said.

"What will we do then?
Questioning Yiren is the fastest way possible to know what we want instead of waiting for her to admit it herself... If ever she knew," Jeongyeon said.

"What are we waiting for? Let's test her," Momo said and stood from her seat followed by the others.

Getting to the maknae's office, they then spotted Yiren, crying.

"Yiren," Nayeon called.

Wiping off her tears, Yiren quickly stood and greeted her superiors.

"Good evening, ma'am! I'm done with the files," Yiren said.

"I see. Actually..." Joengyeon paused as she walks over to Yiren. "That is not the only reason we are here."

"You knew something about Sana, don't you?" Nayeon asked.

"What about her? What are you talking about?" Yiren asked as if she has no idea what they were saying.

"Eunbi... She is Sana, isn't she?" Nayeon asked.

"I don't know," Yiren replied.

"Don't be so pretentious, Yiren. We knew you're searching about Sana and you are comparing her from Eunbi," Jihyo said.

With this, Yiren looks away avoiding to met their gazes.

"Yiren, if you have any information about my sister—if you knew something about Sana—please, I'm begging you to help us," Chaeyoung pleads.

"You...you're her sister?" Yiren asked.

"Yes, and Nayeon is our cousin. Yiren, please help us," Chaeyoung said.

'If Chaeyoung is her sister, she deserved to knew.' Yiren thought. A lone tear then fell on her cheek.

She's attached to Sana and that is what holding her from giving them some details.

Eventually, she did the right thing and told them what she knew knowing Sana's real family was been searching for her.

"You were right, Eunbi is Sana. When first saw her I was already doubting her identity because aside from her physical appearance, her voice, her action, and her personality changed. Eunbi was never a fan of kinship while the one in front of us now is completely different," Yiren started. "I thought that maybe... Maybe it was just the effect of the accident 'til I saw this."

Pulling an old newspaper and the crumpled paper she got from the Kwon's house, she then handed it to them and resumed talking.

"I was getting Eunbi's stuff for a sleepover then I heard her parents talking about their child. Out of curiosity, I checked that newspaper and the crumpled document only to find out they were replacing their deceased daughter with Sana. I'm sorry if I did not tell you any of this. I just want to make sure I am going to give it to her real family." Yiren said apologetically.

"Thank you," Chaeyoung said and abruptly pulled Yiren into a hug. Nayeon embraces her as well after Yiren tells them what she knew.

The other girls joined them as well and invited her to join their celebration for Sana's upcoming birthday the next day at Nayeon's old apartment near JYPU. They've been celebrating Sana's birthday every year even if she's not around for the past few years.
