Cutting some vegetables while listening to music, she flinched when her phone's music suddenly changed into her ringtone.

Washing her hands immediately, she wipes it with a towel before answering the call after knowing who it is.

"Miss Kang Hyeon Ju?"

"Yes, it's me." nodding even though the man in the other line can't see.

"We searched anywhere for any possible person that has the name Chae Gunlim, we did find some people but it didn't match the pictures you sent." He said.

She frowns, "Is there any way to solve this officer?"

The man thinks for a while, "I remember you giving the fingerprints of your friend when you came to test if she and Chae Gunlim will match."

"Yes sir."

"We tried to find people that will match it even though they're not Chae Gunlim, nothing came out." The man let out a sigh.

"Okay thanks." Hyeon Ju ends the call, a frown printed on her face as she continues to slice the vegetables.

"Who was that?" Gunlim who just came, asks. She heard the younger calling someone a while ago.

"The police." She answers, "They found nothing."

Gunlim is supposed to be happy that she can finally prove herself to Hyeon Ju but she was also curious to meet herself. "I kinda expected a 'present' Gunlim though."

"Okay so let's say that you are you." The younger says, still uncomfortable that the woman she looked up as a mom is in front of her, "Where did you go when you and dad broke up?"

"How did we break up?" The older innocently asks, a series of imagination flashing in her head, like her slapping Hyeon Ju's father.

"There was this time when you and dad had a fight, then you left and never came back."

Gunlim thinks for a while, where did she go when that happened? Recalling all connections she had, someone appeared in her mind.

"Hyungwon."

Hyeon Ju gives her a look, "Who's that?"

"My brother."

"You have a brother?"

"Yes." Her face suddenly lights up. "If we can find him, we will know what really happened!" she smiles upon reminiscing some moments of them both, "My brother knows a lot. That boy is an intellectual."

Realizing what the other girl meant, Hyeon Ju nods deeply as well, "We can ask the police to find Hyungwon as well." She claps her hands, reaching for her phone once again, completely forgetting the sliced veggies that are ready to be cooked.
