Myungsoo decided to go to school with Sungyeol and the boys just to keep an eye on his son mood and then have a little chat with Dongwoo about him. He explained to the teacher that due to Woohyun family circumstances, the boy was a bit insecure but asked the teacher to keep an eye on the boy and call him if anything happened, even if it was after school hours or something.

The couple then went back home, and after Myungsoo sent some files to Hoya, he and Sungyeol cuddled until they slept for a couple hours, that, of course, weren't enough to make up for the amount of time he didn't sleep but the quality was enough for him to feel rested. When Myungsoo finally woke up he was hugging Sungyeol waist and the taller was tapping furiously on his phone; the taller explained he was half arguing Hoya over him and half organizing Sungjong birthday party for Saturday.

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday passed in a blink of the eye and when they least expected they were already sitting on a restaurant with all the Lees, all the Kims, Dongwoo and another twenty teenagers at least. Yes, Sungjong was very popular, and these twenty people were his closest friends, he was sad he didn't invite more.

Myungsoo's parents were kind of impressed on how social Sungjong was, how that contrasted with Sungyeol and, since they befriended Hoya's parents, they kept a lively conversation with them about the good old days. As Dongwoo and Myungsoo talked quietly about Woohyun, Hoya distributed some autographs and talked about plans for a new webtoon to a bunch of Sungjong male friends.

The twelve girls that were present divided themselves into two groups. The first one consisted of girls that were almost puking rainbows as they tried to talk to the kids but they were somehow overbearing. That made Woohyun (despite communicative) try to snuggle up to his father at some point and Sunggyu try to bite their fingers (which got him scolded by Sungyeol), but the girls found it amusing and pointed that Sungjong often did that too.

The second and larger group were amazed by the number of good-looking boys that came to Sungjong birthday and, because the teenager didn't exactly explain their relationships, most of the girls hit on them.

“Sorry, you are a kid to me. Yes, I'm thirty, no, I'm not lying.” Dongwoo replied as the polite being that he was.

“I'm taken.” It was Hoya simply but grumpy statement, as he glared at the girls hitting on Dongwoo.

“The patience to deal with these kinds of simplistic brains...” Sungyeol sighed and rubbed his temples before he lost his patience. “Back off, we like the same things.” He ended up barking which made the parents laugh and the girls starting to complain and then move to their next victim: Myungsoo.

“Oppaaa, is it true you're that you play basketball?” “This oppa is so handsome.” “Oppa do you want to go on a date? The night is young, you know?” The girls cornered Myungsoo and before he could even reply them he felt the weight of heavy stares throw at him.

Not only Sungyeol had his left eye twitching in anger and he was almost breaking his chopsticks while waiting, and daring, Myungsoo to reply those girls, Woohyun seemed ready to kill. “HE IS MARRIED, HE IS MARRIED, HE IS MY FATHER AND MARRIED TO MY MOOOOOM!” The boy left the place where he was sitting beside his grandmother to round the table and try to push the girls away. “GO AWAY.”

“Woohyun!” Myungsoo scolded his son, trying to contain him, as Sungyeol thought something along the lines of 'you tell them, Namu.' “We can be well mannered as we explain that, you know?” He reprimanded the boy as the girls dispersed displeased and while the boy listened to his father scolding while pouting, he could see Sungyeol raising a discreet thumbs up for him.

Once it was established that Moonjong friends couldn't flirt with the older male guests, the night ran smoothly and rather lively until Sungjong said he'd like to have his first alcoholic drink. The teenager took the first one just fine, but after the first sip on the second one he started to blabber things in weird Korean and when he started pointing fingers at Myungsoo and Sungyeol the older brother was sure to end the party, at least for the kids.

The next week also passed smoothly, the kids were getting excited about the festival and had all kinds of crazy ideas on what to sing together - though Dongwoo insisted their classroom would do a play - while Hoya finally approached Myungsoo and told him he could work from home as long as he handed the work done.

As for Myungsoo and Sungyeol, they went on with their respective routines, of course, sparing time for each other when the kids weren't home which included some more heated moments as well. Now that they had gone all the way both of them found hard to hold themselves, though Sungyeol was the one to take the lead and that didn't happen because Myungsoo didn't want to, no. Myungsoo thought it would be better if Sungyeol was the one to do it so because he didn't want his lover to feel pressured to have with him just because now they knew he could.

Up till now that wasn't a problem for Sungyeol, it had barely been a week they have gone all the way and they hadn't tried a second time yet, but all of their moments were surely pleasurable for both of them. He also started to test some waters with Myungsoo, the younger said he would want to try to bottom once and Sungyeol was being more daring with his hands, placing them, and playing, where he wasn't sure he could play before and up till now the younger didn't reject him.

On Saturday they took the boys to play in the park, and while Myungsoo and Woohyun played soccer, Sungyeol struggled to try. As for Sunggyu, he had a cast on his arm so he was plainly bored watching the others until he spotted two older boys playing chess not too far from where he was. When the couple and the youngest boy moved to prepare for their picnic, Sunggyu took a lot of courage and approached the boys to ask if he could play.

The two boys, Jaejoong and Heechul - a pair of eleven year old cousins - were trying to figure out the rules of the game while their grandfather bought them food, but then Sunggyu offered to explain and then somehow they befriended over that.

“Who are those?” Woohyun stopped in his tracks once he noticed Sunggyu playing with older boys in the distance and squinted his eyes in his friend direction.

Sungyeol turned to see what Woohyun was talking about and spotted Sunggyu talking animatedly with the other two kids and, if he was a little more on the emotional side, he would have cried in joy. He knew Sunggyu had two new friends in school (that befriended him out of insistence) but this was the first time he had witnessed Sunggyu approach other kids, though a bit older than him, and get along with them.

He was taking a picture and sending it to Sungjong when Myungsoo talked beside him. “I don't know how he was last year but isn't that a huge improvement? He is making friends on his own.”

Sungyeol turned to his boyfriend smiling brightly but before he could utter any word of agreement Woohyun gritted his teeth. “I don't like it.”

“But Woohyunnie, Sunggyu...” Myungsoo chuckled and was ready to explain but Woohyun was very upset.

“He was supposed to play with me, but he is playing with those two, and I'm left behind, I don't like it, I want to go home.” With that being said Woohyun stomped his foot on the ground, looking a bit defiantly at his dad and Myungsoo actually shivered.

“Huh, is everything ok?” Sungyeol asked carefully, looking from father to son and Woohyun just got tired of the eye contest with his father then picked up his bag and started walking towards where Sungyeol had parked his car. “What was that?”

“I don't know, it was like I was seeing Jihyun in front of me in a tiny boy body.” Myungsoo said kind of dumbfounded as he followed his son with his eyes, Sungyeol car was not that far from their view.

“Oh an inherited trait, was she bratty?” Sungyeol asked purely curious.

“No, but this is how she acted when I met you, doesn't it feel like dejá vù?” Myungsoo asked as he slowly started to walk towards his son.

“Sorry, I barely remember meeting you, I guess she didn't cause that much of an impression back then.” Sungyeol shrugged.

“But if he continues behaving the same then Sunggyu will have to apologize for a week.” Myungsoo explained over his shoulder before he actually ran to go to his son that was a few meters away.

Once Myungsoo approached Woohyun, the boy was crying so he tried to comfort him and explain things but, just like his mother, Woohyun was upset, he was definitely ignored by his most precious friend and that hurt, it was the second time too!

With that, the mood was over. As their picked things to go, Sungyeol and Myungsoo tried to fill Sunggyu in the situation while Woohyun stood in a corner glaring at him. Unfortunately, Sunggyu was not as malleable as Myungsoo had been, in his head he had done nothing wrong and he didn't want to apologize, so the way back home was difficult, and later Woohyun didn't even let him be lured out his room with promises of food.

By night Sunggyu was already pulling his hair out, he didn't understand why Woohyun was being difficult like this just because he met some hyungs, everybody told him he had to make new friends, and he did, it was not like Woohyun would stop being his best friend.

“Tell him that, do you think he wants to think logically when he is angry? Do you think I was reasonable when I was angry at you last year?” Sungyeol asked and Sunggyu bit his lips - no, the answer to those questions was obviously 'no' – before looking at his hyung with puppy eyes. “Don't make this face to me, I'm the last person you should ask advice from, you know how hard it was for me to apologize to Myungsoo.”

“But...”

“Sunggyu, honestly, I'm as lost as you, because if I ever went through a situation like that, I probably didn't notice and lost a friend.” Sungyeol said helpless then approached his brother and patted his head for comfort (it worked between Myungsoo and Woohyun, right?). “Look, in a way you're right, you didn't do nothing wrong, you just made new friends, something that I am happy and proud of you for. But maybe you should have tried to include Woohyun? I mean, he does that for you right?”

Sunggyu cast his eyes down and thought for a bit before raising his eyes to his brother.

“Can we cook for Woohyunnie?” Sunggyu pleaded. Cook was often Sungyeol tactic to apologize (maybe because he knew he cooked well and people usually couldn't resist), and the elder agreed to help, even though a little annoyed Sunggyu was imitating him.

Sunggyu wanted to bake cupcakes because Woohyun liked, but remembering that Myungsoo didn't like Woohyun eating sugary treats at night and the mess in the kitchen they made last time, Sungyeol decided to make Woohyun favorite real-food dish. Once they finished they crossed two doors and entered Myungsoo's apartment like they have done countless times before.

“He didn't leave his room yet?” Sungyeol asked as he spotted Myungsoo on his couch reading an e-mail on his laptop.

“He did, to get water and go to the bathroom.” Myungsoo offered helplessly, it was not like Woohyun locked himself up because Myungsoo kept the key for his son room hidden, but he usually let the boy have some space to cool himself down. “Try talking to him Gyu.” Myungsoo encouraged as he moved his eyes to Sunggyu before shuffling to get on his feet. “I'll let you try while I cook something.”

“You don't need to, we cooked Woohyun's favorite.” Sungyeol said as he followed Myungsoo to the kitchen and there was not much Sunggyu could do but to go to his friend room and knock on his door.

“Woohyunnie?” He called but no words were heard. “Woohyunnie, this is Sunggyu. I think you already know.” He mumbled the last part to himself. “Woohyunnie, I'm sorry if I hurt you, please talk to me.”

“Don't wanna!” Woohyun finally replied.

“Please, Woohyunnie, I know you wanted to play together, but I can't run with this cast, it weights and I get tired faster.” The boy reasoned. “I approached the hyungs because everyone was busy but I was left alone so I was bored....” The door immediately opened and Woohyun hugged him tightly much to his surprise.

“You should've told us you were bored; if I knew I wouldn't have let hyung alone so hyung wouldn't leave me behind later.” The boy said hugging his friend and Sunggyu returned his hug with his good arm.

“I'm really sorry you felt this way, but everyone tells me I have to make other friends.” Sunggyu said carefully.

The boy's head snapped up and he leaned back to look at his hyung. “But... you can't have another best friend hyung, I'm here.” He said with the saddest face Sunggyu had ever seen him.

“I know, next time we'll make new friends together, ok?” He offered. “Besides, Woohyunnie will be my best friend forever.” Sunggyu assured and Woohyun looked at him with squinted eyes.

“Promise?”

“I promise to be best friends forever and ever, just like Buzz and Woody.” Sunggyu said and once Woohyun started to smile he made sure to add something more just to be sure he would get Woohyun forgiveness. “To infinity and beyond.”

“To infinity and beyond.” The younger beamed.

“Sunggyu, did you tell him we cooked his favorite dish as an apology gift?” Sungyeol asked as he came from the kitchen with two bowls as Myungsoo came behind him with two more bowls, only for Woohyun to beam even more and pull Sunggyu towards the table so they could sit close to each other.

To the adults surprise the kids made up rather fast and Woohyun insisted to help his hyung to eat by feeding him. At first, Sungyeol and Myungsoo didn't believe much Woohyun could do it without making a mess but the boy had better coordination than Sunggyu and was nailing it. The adults were still a bit tense with their situation and Sunggyu was a bit surprised but Woohyun was all kinds of happy and everything was normal again until Myungsoo's phone rang loudly.

“Daddy, it's your phone.” Woohyun kindly pointed as he shoved more food into Sunggyu mouth and the poor boy looked like a hamster with puffed cheeks.

Myungsoo didn't reply his son, he just frowned, because people usually didn't call him much, and got on his feet to look for his phone in between the couch pillows.

“Did you forget to send Hoya hyung your paintings or something?” Sungyeol asked curiously as Myungsoo finally found his phone. “Or maybe you'll have a real MT this time?”

“No, I don't think an MT will..” Myungsoo halted his reply when he finally looked at the caller. “It's Moonsoo.” He said a bit surprised then a second later he was worried. “Guys, if Moonsoo is calling then it's urgent, maybe he got himself in some trouble.”

“Trouble?” Sungyeol asked while the kids made worried faces as Myungsoo shrugged and took the call.

“Hey Moonsoo, what happen-.” Myungsoo halted his words as he heard his brother talk for a few minutes and color sort of drained from his face.

“Is uncle ok?” Woohyun dared to ask in worry.

“Myungsoo, did he get in some accident? Is Sungjong ok too?” Sungyeol asked worriedly a second later as Sunggyu looked from his brother to Myungsoo in worry but the young father just raised his hand for

“Ok, ok, see you in a bit.” Myungsoo replied with an apprehensive tone and then looked at Woohyun for a couple seconds before he moved his eyes to his boyfriend. “Moonsoo is coming to pick me up to go to Incheon, can you keep an eye on Woohyun overnight?”

“Sure, why?” Sungyeol asked frowning.

“We have a family emergency and...” He was about to explain when Woohyun became super worried.

“Is anybody hurt? Is grandpa ok? Is grandma ok? Is uncle Moonsoo ok?” Woohyun eyes were desperate and his little heart was beating fast in fear and Sunggyu eyes were already filling up with tears, he had gone through this already the previous year.

“They're... they're fine, ok, you don't have to worry.” Myungsoo forced a smile to calm his son. “We just need to take some decisions together to make everyone happier and I'll take the chance to tell them to free their schedules to come see you perform ok? So don't worry about a thing.”

As soon as Myungsoo got an ok from his son he immediately ran to his room to throw some jeans on then ran back to the living room, where Woohyun was happily feeding his hyung again, to go out but once he was waiting for the elevator Sungyeol appeared to talk to him, he was not easily fooled like Woohyun.

“Myungsoo, what really happened? You seemed like you've seen a ghost.” Sungyeol said in a low tone.

“Everything was found hyung.” Myungsoo replied as low as he could.

“Everything?” Sungyeol lifted a brown, not understanding.

“Everything... Jihyun mother, the DVD, everything.” Myungsoo hissed. “Moonsoo found the DVD after your birthday but he couldn't open the file so he asked a friend to help and he just received the DVD sort of recovered, I couldn't understand much. My parents took the opportunity to announce they found Jihyun mother too... it seems my parents asked Moonsoo to drag me back home so we could talk and...” He stopped to take some air. “Just, take care of Woohyun tonight, ok? I don't know which time I'll come back and he shouldn't know anything before we have a strategy.”

“Ok, I understand....” Sungyeol nodded as the door of the lift opened and the younger entered into it, but before the door could close Sungyeol leaned his body inside to get Myungsoo hand. “Everything will be ok, if you need anything call me, don't hesitate, I'm here for you in everything ok?” He said and Myungsoo let out a tired smile before nodding in agreement so Sungyeol gave him a quick peck then came out of the lift completely.

“Thank you hyung, you're the sole reason I'm not completely freaking out and this means a lot to me.”

Sungyeol just shrugged with a smile on his face as if it saying it was inevitable. “Myungsoo fighting.”He ended up saying as the door closed between them.

_________________________________________________________

The one-hour long ride back to the Kim's place in Incheon was long in Moonsoo opinion. At first, Myungsoo threw a bunch of questions that his brother did his best to answer though he was not able to do it completely. Yes, Moonsoo was aware their parents knew Woohyun grandma address for some time, they all agreed to hold that information for a bit because they thought Myungsoo needed a good phase with Sungyeol, besides Moonsoo found the DVD two weeks ago but some files were corrupted, so he asked a sunbae of the IT Department to help him and he had just received the DVD recovered and hadn't watch everything yet.

Only when Moonsoo answered all the questions Myungsoo finally got quiet in the passenger seat and became pensive, which made everything more weird and tense than before. The younger Kim wanted to make small talk to distract his brother a bit but the elder was barely indulging so the drive felt loooonger than it really was.

Once they arrived in Incheon, the two brothers entered their house only to find their parents in the kitchen, preparing some late night snacks and some wine and they seemed quite surprised to see those two there.

“Huh, kids, what are you doing here?” His mother asked stiffly.

“Mom, you called a meeting, so I picked hyung up and came right away.” Moonsoo said surprised and Myungsoo just made some hands gestures to somehow agree with his brother.

“She didn't call a meeting, she suggested one, but she didn't say it should be today.” Bumsoo retorted and stepped in their son's direction to talk to them in a whisper. “Boys, you're kinda interrupting something here...” He gave a look as pretty much telling his sons he was about to get laid and they were interrupting, and while Myungsoo chocked in his saliva, Moonsoo felt completely horrified to imagine his parents doing the dirty.

“Oppa!” The matriarch scolded her husband with a little red in her cheeks. “You don't need to... Gosh.” She sighed deeply and then beckoned her sons to come close. “Since you already came over here, let's get this over it.”

Moonsoo approached his mom to give her a hug while his father whined and Myungsoo could only pat his shoulder to comfort him.

“As I told you guys, I just got the DVD content recovered.” Moonsoo started showing the DVD in his hand. “My friend said he couldn't recover everything but he said most of the files are here, there are some videos we can watch partially.”

“I'll get my laptop then.” Bumsoo sighed and stomped out of the kitchen to get his laptop as Myungsoo came close to greet his mother properly.

“Why you didn't tell me everything before?” The young dad asked and his mother sighed deeply before explaining.

“I know I always traveled a lot for work but I've done my best to have a good relationship and actually know each of you. Since you were fifteen you wear this poker face but you can't fool your mother, I know when you're sad, I know when you're happy as well and on Sungyeol birthday...” She stopped a bit to caress Myungsoo face. “ I know you were containing yourself because of the kids, but you were so happy, I saw your eyes twinkle for the first time since Woohyun birth, so how could we break that?”

Myungsoo looked kind of embarrassed for a moment. “Still mom, you should have told me if you know things for two weeks already.” Myungsoo complained. “Where she is? Did you talk to her? Did she say anything about wanting to meet Woohyun? Did she tell you if she wanted to take him?” He asked impatiently.

“No, we didn't do anything.” She said much for Myungsoo relief.

“How could we have done anything before talking to you? Besides, I think she would try to hide again if we approached her without thinking things through.” Bumsoo added once he came back with his laptop to set on the kitchen table so everyone's could watch the DVD.

“She wouldn't hide... she has a small café to run now.” Sonmi disagreed rolling her eyes. “But I kind of agree with the part that we have to think this through to make things less.... traumatic.”

Myungsoo pulled a bench and sat on it that inhaled and exhaled before he spoke to his parents again. “So, before we start with the DVD, is there anything I should know?” He finally asked and his parents briefly looked at each other pondering for a minute.

“There's nothing much to know about her.” Sunmi added.

“Her business is kinda near you, beware of the places you take Sungyeol to dates...” Bumsoo trailed as Moonsoo tapped away on the laptop.

“We don't have time for outside dates, we...” Myungsoo was about to justify himself when his father interrupted.

“But your father is right, I don't think it will help if she knows about you two so just... beware.” Sonmi said in a warning tone.

“Here.” Moonsoo interrupted to show on the laptop a list of files and the other three rushed to see. “Do I open file by file?”

“Of course.” Myungsoo immediately said.

“Hum... I think it is best to open the video files first because, if she appears in it, we might be able to use whatever she says in court.” Bumsoo suggested and Moonsoo opened the first one in full screen.

At first, the video had a lot of distorted pixels, though it showed basically a white wall, and it had no audio but, after the seconds passed, the image was becoming better and a person's feet appeared. The feet walked towards the wall and then the owner sat down showing a pregnant belly, the Kim family didn't see Jihyun face properly yet but once she sat, she leaned forwards and fixed up the camera and then sat back.

“Huh... I hope you can see me, I'm not as good with cameras as Myungsoo oppa...” She started and all of them looked at Myungsoo, to see if he was ok, but the elder son was apparently already fighting tears just seeing his friend.

“Ehr... hi.” Jihyun waited for a few seconds, she seemed at conflict with herself for a bit before she decided to talk. “I'm Nam Jihyun, I'm currently fifteen years old and I, as you can see, am pregnant.” She sighed. “I have been visiting all kinds of doctors because I am also very sick, so sick I can lose my babies... yes, it is two.” She smiled sadly and rubbed her belly. “At this point, I don't know their gender yet because they keep their legs closed....” She seemed a bit thoughtful for a little before she continued.

“Anyway, one of my doctors asked me if I wanted to see another one to take care of my mental health - because becoming a mother for two babies at fifteen might be overwhelming – and ...” The image became pixelated again, Jihyun pregnant silhouette could barely be seen and the audio was some weird distorted noise.

“What? What happened?” Sonmi asked.

“My friend said there would be times this would happen. I'll fast forward a bit so we see if the image and audio become normal again.” Moonsoo pressed the speed button and Jihyun started moving way faster and there were weird mechanical sounds that came every now and then, but it was kinds clear Jihyun recorded this video without much thought, or she was really indecisive on what she would say because there were long silent pauses.

At some point they heard something that seemed like Jihyun was talking at a fast pace, so Moonsoo moved the video back and played at normal speed.

“... what do I do?” Jihyun sighed on the screen. “It doesn't matter how much I discuss this with Myungsoo oppa, he won't listen... I don't have another choice... I know keeping this a secret is kind of essential in our situation but I'm sick and this is stressing me, but I can't get stressed so I decided to record my thoughts in video whenever the Kim's are away, so I can feel better to at least go through with the pregnancy smoothly and, who knows, if anything happens to me...” She looked down and played with her fingers nervously before she took courage to talk again. “... maybe this can explain a few things to everyone.”

The girl eyes then became a little too big and she stopped everything to listen better. “Myungsoo oppa came back from his game, I have to go.” She said in a haste at the same time she leaned close and turned off the camera.

A heavy silence fell between them once the video ended that it was only broke when they heard Myungsoo sobbing. “I miss her so much.”

“I do too.” Moonsoo agreed as he looked down at his lap, while Moonsoo patted his brother's knee.

“Awn, come here.” Sonmi pulled her eldest son into a hug. “I know you feel frustrated because you couldn't do more to save her, but.... there was nothing we could do.”

“I...When I think about her I just... I can't help but think how her life was so... unfair. She lived so little.... she could at least have been happier.”

Sunmi gently pushed her son back and looked into her son's eyes. “ I don't think Jihyun was completely unhappy. There is no state of complete happiness. We might have a good job, the person we love, a car, a house, everything and still we can spill food in our clothes and in a second you go from happy to annoyed.” She gave him a small sad smile and made a short pause before continuing. “She had happy moments... do you remember when we gave her a phone for her birthday? Do you remember her face? What about the flour fight you two had all over our house when you tried to bake a cake for your math teacher? She laughed so much she couldn't breathe. And what about the time she bought Woohyun and Soohyun first clothes? She bought onesies too big for them...”

Myungsoo eyes filled with tears as he scanned all of his memories. Indeed when he and his parents took her out for dinner and gave her the tiny box that contained a phone she had been so ecstatic that she jumped on him and almost tackled him to the ground before going to give his parents a big hug in thank you. “I can't believe it, I can't believe it! Kyaaaaaah!” She kept repeating back then because she never imagined she would receive such expensive gift from them.

He then remembered they came up with the idea to bake a cake for their favorite teacher in the last year of middle school, but they couldn't get the recipe right and were so annoyed that they started to throw flour on each other from the kitchen to the backyard until they decided to jump in the pool to clean themselves later.

They had to clean everything and Jihyun went back home wearing male clothes too big for her and already sneezing her nose out, but she kept giggling and telling him how that was fun. If that flour fight had been in her home instead, they would never have gotten away with only a stupefied expression of his father and some cleaning. Myungsoo would definitely be kicked out and Jihyun would be prohibited to see him or go out of her house for a month at least.

He then thought about the onesies she bought for the babies. “Pink Panther for Soohyun and Stitch for Woohyun.” She said back then as she showed the onesies to Myungsoo but he couldn't understand such choice. “They are twins, they will look like each other but they will surely have different personalities. We have to encourage their individuality, oppa. I read somewhere that not all twins like to be matching in everything, and we have a boy and a girl... just imagine the chaos they'll make...” She started a long rant about the simplistic mind of Myungsoo and his inabilities to comprehend the world and blah, blah, blah, blah.... but her teasing s and scoldings had never a bad tone, she had been smiling all the time back then.

He ended up letting out a smile despite his tears, his mother was right: Jihyun had happy moments, a lot of them if he stopped to think about it. And most of them were in his presence, a thing that left him kind of honored. There were no romantic feelings from him and he was sure there was no romantic feelings from her too, but everything was good whenever they were together.

“Yeah, she had happy moments.” He ended up agreeing as he wiped his tears.

“And Woohyun looked so cute in those onesies.” Bumsoo let out a giggle. “To think he kinda liked so much we had to buy a bigger one for him...” Myungsoo also giggled at his father comment, his mood quickly going back to normal.

“Hyung, will you will be able to watch the rest? If you feel too overwhelmed we can watch this another time.” Moonsoo suggested and his brother had to take a deep breath in to calm himself before replying.

“No, I don't know when I will have the time to come here to watch again.” Myungsoo was ready to bite his nails when he noticed everyone looking worriedly at him and got a bit annoyed. “Just hit play, I don't think I'm gonna be ok, but we need to watch.”

“Ok.” Moonsoo nodded and looked back at the screen. “I don't know if noona recorded these videos in a particular order... and I think my friend renamed the videos...” He said and played another file.

The first image was a pattern that everyone could recognize as Myungsoo's bed sheets because they were checkered with black and dark gray. The camera was promptly moved right after and they saw Jihyun big belly before she finally appeared on camera. She was wearing a white pajama shirt and looked slightly pale and kinda sad but way better with the use of the camera than in the first video.

“Hi.” She said and looked down, seeming to be thinking about what to say and when she raised her eyes she seemed determined. “This is mommy. My name is Nam Jihyun...” She started differently from the last video which surprised the viewers. “...and you currently are here.” She moved the camera to her belly again and placed one hand on the left side. “Soohyunnie's on this side and Woohynnie's on this.” She said as she moved her hand to the other side and hen moved the camera to her face again. “Today is January 20, and I'm currently a bit over 7 months. Normally a baby doesn't come out before staying 9 months in the mommy's belly, but because you are twins, it is too cramped there and my doctor said you two will seem like you are fighting over space and will probably want to come out anytime now, so I have to rest in bed until then because I'm sick.”

“I made a lot of plans and promises for when you are born. I'll hold you in my arms and sing you lullaby's, I'll teach you how to walk, how to talk, how to eat and everything...” She seemed a bit emotional at this part but then she tried her best not to show. “With this video, I want to explain something important to you in case I can't do that in person. Knowing Myungsoo oppa like the back of my hand he might not want to tell you because he loves you two too much, but we need to always tell the truth at some point and I think you have the right to know, so I will leave this video with Moonsoo so he can give you when you are ten, earlier if you somehow discover by yourselves, if Myungsoo oppa decides to tell you or in case we divorce.”

“This will be very hard to understand, but I need you both to be strong and be each other comfort because probably no one will know how you two will feel about this.” At this point, Jihyun looked around to find some courage and Myungsoo was doing his best to keep watching things without spilling more tears. “If what I am imagining happens you'll grow up well and surrounded by love, and that's what matters. Remember that and know how lucky you are; not everyone is like that, up till now I wasn't, I mean, I was loved, but not by those who should love me the most.”

She gulped hard before continuing. “My father abandoned us before I was born and I think my mom blames me for that because during all my childhood she made sure to make me feel unwanted and a burden. She also abandoned me as soon as she heard I was pregnant, that's why you probably don't know her. Life as a single mom wasn't easy for her, but living by her side was hard, very hard, and I don't wish the same for you, so no matter what happens, please don't look for her and just stay near the people that will love you unconditionally and protect you: Myungsoo oppa and Moonsoonie. ”

“What about us?” Bumsoo voiced his surprised thoughts.

“Shhhhhh.” Sonmi hissed, Jihyun wasn't done, she just taking a deep breath to continue talking in the video

“You might be wondering why I haven't mentioned auntie Sonmi and uncle Bumsoo, but I have a reason for that. I have a lot to explain and I will do so later in this video but the first thing you should know is that the boy that married me, – he is a boy now but by the time you'll see this video he will probably be a man – Myungsoo oppa, is not your real father, therefore, auntie and uncle are not your grandparents....”

“Enough, enough with this one.” Myungsoo finally leaned over his brother and stopped the video.

“Are you ok?” Sonmi asked in soft but worried tone.

“She is telling them I am not their father.” Myungsoo pointed to the screen somehow frustrated.

“But son, I don't think this is a bad thing. It seems like she thought really ahead of everything and this video existence shows that she wanted the kids to know. And you are not their father if we are talking about blood, but you are the one raising Woohyun as if you were, besides she just said that they shouldn't search for his grandma and stay with you, isn't that what it matters?” Bumsoo asked.

“Yes, yes, you are right dad, it just.... it hurts to have to go through this explanation again...”Myungsoo explained. “Hearing this from her is like a torture for me, it breaks my heart and … Can we just... just watch another video and you finish watching this one when I'm not around?”

“I kinda agree with that.” Moonsoo spoke right after. “Besides searching for anything that can be useful for our situation, I also have to find something that I can give to Woohyun, and I don't think it would be prudent to put this video for him to watch, I think it is the best if hyung explains things first.”

“Then we will stop with the videos, for now, open another file.” Sonmi decided as she hugged her eldest looked for another random file to open.”

“There is an audio file here, I'm not sure what it is.” He said and pressed play but they heard nothing even though the program counted the seconds passing. “I'm gonna fast forward a bit.”

It took some seconds but they heard hushed high pitches voices that gave them some hope so Moonsoo rewind and played at normal speed.

“He doesn't pick up.” Jihyun said in a desperate tone.

“He probably blocked your number.” Myungsoo said with a sigh and Jihyun started to sob as they heard some movement noise until they heard Myungsoo again. “Here, try it from my landline and put on speaker.”

“Do you think he will pick it up?” Jihyun asked as she tried to control her sobs.

“Just try it, you have to tell him....” Myungsoo said with a firm tone in the video. “...it's the right thing to do.” The boy talking in the video added firmly but that was also repeated by him as an adult with a tone of disbelief. “That's it!” He pointed pleasingly surprised as they heard another male voice say 'hello' in the audio being played. “That's the conversation I thought I had recorded in one of my old phones, that is the phone call where she tells him...” He couldn't finish his explanation because Jihyun voice came out shaky and very fragile.

“...I'm pregnant with your child.”
