MINHO: 

Me and Jisung go downstairs, where we can smell the tea and toast Sooah made. Jisung cried for quite a while, but he seems a little better now. 

We sit at the table, and Sooah eyes him carefully, passing him the tea, and buttering toast. Jisung looks kind of green, but eats anyway. 

Me and Sooah talk quietly, and suddenly Jisung starts crying again. We stare at him, shocked. 

"What's wrong?" 

He starts signing at Sooah, which makes sense. He can't speak to her, and he's crying too hard to even manage a syllable. I hug him, and he sobs into my shirt. 

"A nightmare.." Sooah murmurs, and starts flicking on lights, and shutting cupboard and closet doors. 

"Do you wanna tell me about it?" I ask him, and I notice Mina on the stairs, in the same place as when we met Sooah. I raise my eyebrows at her. She puts up a finger, signaling 1 minute. 

She runs back up the stairs, careful to not wake Dad, who has work early in the morning. I roll my eyes. 

He cuddles into me even more, and clutches my shirt with an iron grip. I bury my face in his hair. Sooah turns away to give us a moment. 

Mina rushes back down the stairs holding a chest with chipped red paint, and cobwebs, which she quickly brushes off. I go red as the paint once was when I recognize it. 

She places it on the counter, sitting next to it, and Jisung looks up in curiosity, his eyes puffy and red. She opens it with a small key, attatched to a keychain. On the keychain is a card, made about 10 years ago, worn out with age, but well loved. On it is a drawing of 2 kids, a girl and a boy, stick figures, pink and blue. The girl has a hockey stick, and the boy has a camera. Their favorite things then, their favorite things now. Under it, it says "Minho and Mina - Bro and Sis!"

She pulls out a teddy bear, well worn out, wearing pajamas decorated with bows, and holding a little pink heart. She passes it to him. "Her name is Yejin. Minho got her when he was about 3. She helped him when Mom and Dad fought, when he was sad, and even when he was struggling with his sexuality. I just hit stuff with a hockey stick, but she is a pretty nice cuddle buddy. Maybe she can help you now." Mina's smile could have lit up the Earth, which isn't something I'm used to from her. 

Jisung lets my shirt go, and takes Yejin gently, like he'll break her. He looks at me, as though for permission. I nod, and smile. He pulls her to his chest, and whispers, "Yejin..."
