- namjoo pov.

Yesterday I said I was going to check on Hayoung after what happened yesterday. I am not like my other sisters thinking it's okay to just mind everyone else's feelings and not address them when they are clearly not okay. Today is going to change, I am going to talk to Hayoung and have some heart to heart, maybe get emotional but at least she will open up.

I knocked on Hayoung's room door. "Hayoung-ah? It's me Namjoo. Can we talk?" I ask putting my ear to the door to listen in.

Hayoung hears Namjoo and gulps as she gets up from bed. "Coming..." She says in a sad mood after what she did yesterday. She opens the door with messy hair and a pale face.

Namjoo gulps. "Hey...Can we talk about yesterday?" She asks, tucking a hair behind her ear.

Hayoung steps aside letting Namjoo into her room for the first time in a very long time. Her room was a hot mess, looked absolutely horrible. Which made Namjoo turn her nose up a little.

"Hayoung-ah? Why is your room so messy?" Namjoo asks, turning to face her after Hayoung closed the door.

Hayoung shrugged. "I've had my bad days." She says in a monotone, then goes and sits on her bed. Her throne.

Namjoo found a clear spot on the floor and sat there criss cross. "Ok...Hayoung? I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to tell me the truth." She says. "Are you depressed...because you miss Mom?"

Hayoung's heart stopped for a second. "Huh. I...think so." She says, fumbling with her fingers starting to feel a wave of uncomfort because she hasn't spoken about their Mom to her sisters before. "I mean. I loved Mom. She was my motivation for everything and made me happy."

Namjoo nods her head understanding. "Hayoung. She made all of us happy." She says. "You're not alone you see-"

"No Namjoo. I am alone." Hayoung corrects her.

Namjoo gulps. "What do you mean..?"

"Everyone got over Mom in a couple months after it happened. But I am still coping. Because I am coping so much I don't have the time to go out and find a job and a relationship." She rolls her eyes. "That and...no one likes me or wants to hire me."

"Hayoung that's not true. You're beautiful." Namjoo says. "Nothing about you is ugly. Who cares what others say, as long as you think you're beautiful people will see that."

Hayoung's heart starts to beat. "You know...you sound just like Mom, Unnie." She sniffles.

Namjoo stands up and walks over to Hayoung, giving her a hug. "I know..." She says. "I miss her too."

For the first time in a long time, Hayoung hugs Namjoo back. It felt nice and relaxing, she liked the warmth that her older sister gave her in the hug.

"Now. Can you tell me what happened yesterday? You can tell me anything you know." Namjoo says as she starts to caress Hayoung's back, that being her super power to help her sisters feel better.

Hayoung takes a deep breath and starts explaining...

- flashback; yesterday.

Hayoung knocks on the door of an apartment with the number '287' engraved on the front. She is wearing Naeun's leather jumpsuit and her hair is straightened with some bangs in the front. The red lipstick and semi high heels make it look like she's going on a date.

Baekhyun answers the door. "Oh hello! Yeona is it?" He asks, talking to Hayoung.

"That's me. Choi Yeona. I'm here to clean your apartment." Hayoung says.
