"What about noona?" Jihoon asked.

"She's not coming." I finally let it out. I said it, I had to.

"What do you mean oppa? Where are you going?" Sihyun asked, tears threatening to come out of her eyes.

"You can't come with us Sihyun."

"I'm sorry!" My heart aches after I said it. I'm going away from my one and only sister in this lifetime, my only sister, my only biological sister.

"Noona!" Jihoon ran to hug Sihyun. They both hugged each other tightly, not wanting to let go.

"Jihoon, it's time to go!" I said, trying not to cry.

I pulled Jihoon from Sihyun's embrace, lifted him up and carried him on my shoulder.

"NOONA!" Jihoon screamed for her, making my heart ache more.

"Noona! don't leave me!" He said, tears were flowing out of my eyes rapidly, not being able to control.

"Jihoon, Oppa!" She was screaming and crying at the same time.

I wanted to look back to see Sihyun's face one last time but I know I won't be able to walk out of here if I looked back.

We finally arrived at the car, looking like a mess.

"looks like you guys had a hard time leaving your friends." The keeper says, worried.

"Noona." Jihoon's last faint scream and fell asleep cause of tiredness from screaming and crying for 5 minutes straight.

"I'm sorry but it has to be this way honey" I sent a glare to my "mother".

"It is your fault not wanting a daughter. Don't act like you want a daughter when you only adopted son."

"I wanted to adopt the three of you but your father didn't agree so I had no choice but to follow his opinion." She explained, not wanting to break us apart too.

I felt bad saying all of that towards her when I didn't know the real reason.

"But why us? There is a lot of brothers without sisters in the orphanage. Why did dad want to break us apart?" I ask since there were at least 10 brothers without a sister in the orphanage.

"Your dad only wanted the both of you and not others." Mom explained.

"It's okay mom. I understand. I will try to forget her."

"No, don't. Remembering will make you have a hard time but it is better than forgetting her."

"Thank you mom." I thanked her, glad she would understand.

"But I'm not sure about this guy." I said, pointing to Jihoon, sleeping peacefully and soundly on my shoulder.

"He is still young so he might forget her when he slowly grew up."

"Mom, you better buy him a race car like you promised or it is tickling time for him." I said, making mother laughed a little.

We walked into the car and dad took us home.

Sihyun POV ~

I cried all day long. I just lost my parents parents 2 years ago and now my brothers. Where is the world trying to take me to? Heaven?

I noticed the necklace was getting wet because of the tears so I took it off and put it somewhere in the room.

I was tired after 20 minutes of crying and screaming and dosed off to sleep.

At night ~

I woke up in my room feeling empty and blank. I rubbed my eyes so that I could be fully awake. It was 11:32am when I checked my alarm clock.

(WoKe uP iN mA RoOoOoOm)

"I miss you!" I screamed to release the pain of breaking apart from my family.

Suddenly at the corner of my eyes, something black was glowing so I got up to check it.

It was the necklace Jihyun oppa gave to me before we part. I took it off before I took a nap, scared my tears would ruin it.

I wore it again and there was a message underneath the necklace charm. It's okay was written at the bottom of the charm.

You were confused why the necklace was glowing but it was really beautiful and made you feel his warmth even though he was not there anymore.

I was feeling a lot more better because the thought of my brothers finally had a home and a family to take care of.

I smiled at the thought of Jihoon running around his room for others to catch him and put him to bed.

I smiled at the thought of Jihoon acting like a warrior protecting me when I'm in trouble.

I smiled at the thought of Jihyun oppa clearing all the food at the dining room.

I smiled at the thought of Jihyun oppa tickling both of us.

I smiled at the thought of Jihyun oppa telling jokes to our parents.

You were mad at the thought your soon to be parents didn't want to adopt a daughter and only wanted sons. Breaking biological siblings apart is not right. It's wrong. It's unfair. The world is unfair. This world is unfair.

You sobbed harder as you thought about the happy moments you made with them.

Playing hide and seek together, starting a food fight in the dining room, making a mess and Mom blamed it all on Jihyun oppa.

Jihyun oppa trying to catch you and tickle you.

Jihoon running, screaming like he saw a ghost when he just saw a cockroach running across the house. He looked so ridiculous at that time.

Jihyun chasing me around the house with a slipper when I didn't know how to do fractions.

The slipper hurts but that was the reason I knew how to do fractions.

I smiled at the thought of them. But the smile soon faded away and the only thing was seen and heard were my tears and sobs.

It hurts, it really hurts. Losing my parents and now my beloved brothers. God will make a path for us to meet again right? Right? Please god. Please.

After a few hours of crying, begging for them to come back, I got tired and went to bed.

"Oppa! Can you sing us to sleep?" I closed my eyes, waiting for him to sing for both of us.

"Oppa?"

I opened my eyes slowly after realising that he wasn't here nor my younger brother. It became a habit for me waiting for him to sing for me when he was still here.

I already miss his soft, angelic voice and warmth even though we just part from each other 5 hours ago.

I miss you. And I will never forget you.

I bend down to look at the necklace. I smiled seeing it. I could feel his warmth close to me even he isn't.
