"It's going to be mom's birthday." Seokjung said, I nodded. "Really? Is she going back?" I asked pretending I didn't know. "She is, I guess, now that you're here. I know you're good at making Ideas how to plan something for birthdays." He smiled. "I do? I didn't know that." I chuckled. "If Jin couldn't make it to come, maybe mom and dad will go to Seoul with you going back." He added. "How about you?" I look at him. "I can't, like Jin... I'm busy at work too, I can't ask permission to leave." I nodded. "Okay." I forced a smile. "And it's auntie's death anniversary, right?" We both keep quiet for a while. "Y-yeah, right. Oh! I remember, gosh I totally forgot." I rubbed my forehead. "Don't tell me you came here just for us and forgot about your mom." He pouted. "Hahaha, I'm sorry. Yeah, I remembered when I was still in Seoul. But I was just too nervous and excited to see you and dad... I'll just buy flowers and visit her." I grinned. I am really not a good actor.

The next day I woke up early, I don't want to over sleep. I didn't get enough sleep either. It's just my first night in here, I want to make breakfast for my brother. I look around the house, It's a lot different now. Bigger than before, now that dad is a CEO. This family is crazy rich. I heard something from the kitchen and walked going there. "Seokjung." I was surprised to see him up early. "Good morning my beautiful sister." He greeted. "You're already cooking. I set my alarm to 6 am but here you are waking up earlier than me." I pouted. "That's okay, I'm always waking up early. I have work at eight." He said while busy going back and forth to the sink and to the stove. "Oh... Is that so." I rub my nape. "Yeah, so I will be leaving you here alone. Feel at home, this is your home. Dad will be home soon, I'm just not sure what time."

"That's okay, leave your house. I won't steal anything." I laughed. "Aish, come and eat breakfast with me. I made your favorite." He smiled. "Oh, really? Let's eat then, leave the dishes to me and go to work after eating. It's better to be early than to leave rushing with the others. I mean, rush hour." I said and helped him prepare the table. "Wait, is it your birthday or mine? This is a lot. And I need to do an intense exercise after eating these." I said while looking at the food he cooked. "It's all for you." He chuckled.

I'm used to being alone and I could stay with people too. Because TWICE members are always with me, it's been so long since I was left alone... Same place, here. I looked around, it became different. More beautiful, a house of a rich family. Comfy. My eyes drove to the shelves. There are frames, it's their family. Seokjung, dad, their mom... and Jin. They were too young at the picture, very happy. Not until I came, I shook the thought again. I'm just dragging myself down to guilt. I took a picture of it, and look into the table at the corner near the couch. I walked to see it closely, it's my picture... With mom. I smiled looking at it, maybe Seokjung placed it here. It looks beautiful, I don't have any picture of my mom with me since I left our hometown. I don't want to let others know what my mom looks like, I'm just telling them to look at me and imagine that I aged and that's my mom.

*Ding Dong!*

I turned around and look at the door. I went to open it.

"Who—" It's dad. "Dad!" I smiled widely seeing him home. "Dahyun??" I approached him with a hug. "My princess is here!" He chuckled and I felt his arms hugging me back. "I missed you, dad." I said, "Me too, Dahyun. I'm surprised that you're here." I look at him. "I surprised Seokjung too. I'm glad you're happy to see me." I smiled. "Of course I am. Do you talk with Seokjin?" He asked. "Uh, sometimes?" I grinned. I only talked to him once, jeez. "Oh, that's good. It's good that you're here. Is he coming home?" He questioned. "Uh, I don't think so... He's busier than I am, let's just understand him. I am here because I am not busy, dad." I laughed. "Oh, that's good. If ever, Seokjung and Seokjin's mom will be coming home. The thing is..." I want him to continue, I don't want to interrupt him that Seokjung and Jin already told me. "We are getting back together." He finally added. I smiled and raised my brows up while pursing my lips. "Oh! Yeah. Jin and Seokjung told me~" I acted cute to him and chuckled. "Oh really? And my only princess is happy for her dad." Dad opened his arms, I wrapped my arms around him. "Of course. I know you waited for a long time, but I am happy for you." I said. He rubbed my back. "That's right, my princess. But I'm not sure if she's coming back, her birthday is coming too. We still don't know if we will be preparing for it or not, or just celebrate it by going out for dinner... If she'll come or not to be sure." I looked up to him. "Isn't she going back here with you or you're going to her for good?" I asked, he looks at me. "I do not have a plan on leaving my house here, I want to still see you like this. I am not really expecting you to come, I am still encouraging her to stay with me... With us here." He explained. I separated from the hug, thinking she will never come home if I am here... She'll remember what my mom did to her and to dad, why am I here? Maybe I need to make it up to them and help them no matter what. I am the only one who remembers mom's anniversary, Seokjung counts.
