Dahyun stayed only in her apartment for weeks, she didn't even think of going out or even cleaning and throwing her garbage and stuffs. She only eat, sleep, watch and repeat. Not caring about anything anymore. "Haha, fool." She laughed while watching a series from her phone and eating snacks. She stopped when she heard someone knocking on her door, she looked at the calendar and it's time to pay the rent. "Jeez." She got up from bed and went to the door and opened it. "Ms.—"
She thought it's the land lady but it's not.
"D-Dahyun?" Dahyun stared at her.
"Eom-Eomma?" She stuttered. "Dahyun, you know me." She hugged her. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." The woman sobbed while rubbing her back. Dahyun let her in and gave her a cup of coffee. "H-How—" Her mom cupped her cheeks. "It doesn't matter how I found you, I'm just really sorry. I-I didn't know Ms. Min is dead, I'm sorry for giving you away." Her mom held both of her hands tight. "What happened? Why are you living in a small space?" Dahyun just stared at her, it is her first time talking and looking at her real mom this close. "I am your real mother." Dahyun nodded. "I know, she told me. Not exactly who my parents are but— I found you too." Dahyun looked down. "I did it my own to find out who are my real family, I saw where you live. Eomma, appa, Y-Yeonhee." Dahyun looked at her again and her mom looked so surprised. "Y-Yeonhee? Y-You know your sister?" Dahyun nodded again. "I came to Gyeonggi, I saw your house, I saw the three of you living there."
"I'm really sorry, I just did that because we couldn't provide a beautiful life for you when you were only 5 months old. I didn't really want to give you to Ms. Min but she told me she'll provide a better life for you, she told me we'll get to see you whenever we want but we just heard that she brought you abroad with her son. We had no money to follow her, did she treated you right? How was she as a mother?" Her mom caressed her cheek. "She was nice to me. She told me I am adopted when I was still young, she only gave me your name and appa's name. She's apologizing to you and appa... For taking me away." Dahyun closed her eyes. "What happened? Why are you renting?"
"I left her house, I don't have the right to stay there and to have it all because I am not her real daughter. H-her son only has the right for all of it." Dahyun's mom rubbed her shoulder. "Shh, shh. What are you saying? Are you okay??? How are you? Why are you living alone? D-do you have a-a boyfriend? A hu-husband now??? What's happening? Why is your place like this?" Dahyun shook her head. "How did you find me?" Dahyun sobbed. "I came here with Yeonhee, I told her about you since she's growing. She knows that she has an older sister, she came here to audition hoping that we could find you because we heard 5 years ago from our home town that Ms. Min was back in Korea but we really do not have money to find you. Yeonhee will be happy because you're already here, I want to thank him for all he did..." Dahyun rested her cheek on her mom's shoulder. "Thank him?"

"Yeonhee." The girl turned around and saw her mom. "Ms. Dahyun!" Yeonhee approached them. "Y-Yeonhee." Dahyun smiled and saw Taehyung with her. "Oh, this is my mom." Yeonhee introduced her. Her mom chuckled and held Dahyun's hand. "You know each other? That's great, Ms. Dahyun works to the company where I am also working. She's very nice to me the first day I auditioned so I had the motivation to do my best."
"Yeonhee," Her mom also held Yeonhee's hand. "She is your sister." Yeonhee's eyes widened and looked at Dahyun. "S-sister?" Their mom nodded. "H-how— M-Ms. D-Dahyun?" Dahyun hugged her. "I'm sorry for not telling you, I just want to watch over you." Dahyun said. "Y-You know?" Dahyun looked at her. "I told you I am looking for my sister, why didn't you tell me you are who I am looking for?"
