Hayoung opened the box slowly and carefully. It was old and brittle. One wrong move and it would totally break

Creak!

The rusted hinge creaked. The box had finally gaped open. Inside, there was a bundle of polaroid photos

Hayoung's hands were shaking, beads of sweats trickled down her forehead

She took a piece of polaroid into her hand and took a closer look

Hayoung-Mom?

She could not believe her eyes. The woman who was hugging young Sehun looked exactly like Yeonsoo

Hayoung-It can't be...

Hayoung flipped through the photos. The necklace. To make sure the woman was really Yeonsoo was by looking for the necklace

Hayoung tossed the pictures clumsily until she found a surprising piece of old photo

Sehyeong, Sehun and Yeonsoo were in one photo. And Yeonsoo had the necklace around her neck

Hayoung-It's mom

Hayoung dropped the box from her grip. The photos scattered on the floor

A shiny, white-gold necklace fell in front of Hayoung. She picked it up

The locket was round, and carved with a key shape in the middle

She knew it right away. Another half of the locket was with her mom

Hayoung-Stephen. Sehun. Stephen Oh Sehun

Flashback

Yeonsoo-Stephen, look. It's your baby sister
Stephen-She is so cute! What is her name?
Yeonsoo-Oh Hayoung
Stephen-She will grow up into a pretty girl

Yeonsoo pinched Stephen's cheek

Yeonsoo-She will

Stephen kissed baby Hayoung's cheek. She was only two years old when they first met and she was sleeping in her mom's arms

Stephen-Hi baby Hayoung. Call me Sehun oppa. You're cute. I wish you to grow up into a beautiful lady

Hayoung-Hmmm *purred

Sehyeong-*chuckled* I think she heard you
Stephen-Nice to meet you Hayoung. Let's meet again in the future

End flashback

Hayoung-No *sobbed* He recognised me all these time? It's impossible. It cannot be true

Knock! Knock!

Sehun-Hayoung?

Hayoung quickly removed her tears and kept back all the photos in rush. She shoved back the box under the cabinet

Sehun-Hey
Hayoung-Hey

She forced herself to smile. Her emotion was not stable but she didn't want to scream at Sehun out of sudden. She needed a proper explanation

Sehun-What's wrong with your eyes? Did you cry?
Hayoung-A little
Sehun-Why? Is it because I left you alone yesterday? I am sorry about that okay? I slept at Jinho's place last night
Hayoung-Oh

Hayoung crumpled the photo in her hand behind her back

Hayoung-Sehun? Sorry, I mean Stephen

Sehun lifted up his head and looked straight at Hayoung. He only smiled casually, did not seem surprise yet
