“Nice to see you alive and well, Kyuhyun.” Hangeng commented from his position in a booth, seeing the hacker walk out of the hallway and into the main area of the VIP area.

Kyuhyun half-heartedly glared at his elder before plopping down in front of the bar, “Yeah, well… it’s the second day and we still haven’t found anything on anyone.”

Victoria smiled softly before making her friend a drink. “We’ll find them…” She thought for a few seconds, “Yoochun told me he’d see us later…”

Kyuhyun frowned before putting his head on the counter. “He told you that? We need to…”

“Yeah… He called me during their mission to help a girl who was bleeding out… I did what I was told… but…” Victoria trailed off, frowning at the memory.

“It’s going to be fine, Victoria… Kyuhyun. Once we find them, our scouting team can find out what the place is like, and we’ll take it from there.” Heechul commented, frowning slightly. He was sitting on a stool on the inside of the bar, watching Victoria make the drink.

“Where’s Leeteuk-hyung? And Minwoo?” The hacker switched conversations, turning around to look around the room.

“They’re downstairs with Key. I heard Leeteuk was able to get the company to let that kid’s brother and another friend of his come here to reunite.” Heechul responded, taking note of the slight sadness in his dongsaeng’s eyes. He watched as Victoria handed him the drink then stand up.

“Thanks, queen… I’m going downstairs too.” Kyuhyun mentioned before heading towards the stairs and disappearing from sight.

Victoria smiled softly then shifted her gaze to where Sora and Zhou-mi walked out of the kitchen with some food they were preparing. She looked to see Sungmin and Onew talking to Hangeng in a booth. “Come on, guys… give us a clue…” She muttered before her and Heechul shared the same look then started to relax behind the bar.

Kyuhyun walked out of the back hallway with his drink to see Minwoo happily talking with Key and Leeteuk at the bar. He smiled before making his way over to them, having Key notice him first.

“What’s up?”

The hacker laughed when Minwoo got up from his chair and ran over to hug him. He patted his head, “Nothing much. Decided to take a break for once. How’s everything so far? It’s 4 right?”

Leeteuk nodded before asking Minwoo to stay with Key for a few minutes while they walked off to another part of the floor. “Kyu… Minwoo’s brother is coming by in an hour with a friend… I just thought you should know…” The elder looked to the younger for any emotion.

Kyuhyun nodded slowly, “Okay, Leeteuk…” He looked to his elder with concern in his eyes.

“It’ll be fine… Hopefully… Minwoo won’t be too shocked with the news. We can always get Zhou-mi to come down here.” Leeteuk added before turning back to go to Key and Minwoo. Kyuhyun nodded again before following his hyung back to Minwoo’s smiling face.

“You’re too cute!” Sunny exclaimed, pinching the young boy’s cheek.

“Sunny-noona! Sto~p!” Minwoo exclaimed, giggling in response.

“Yah~ Minwoo-ah, you shouldn’t giggle if you want her to stop,” Key laughed out, enjoying the company.

“Hey, Key, someone wants another house special,” Amber came up to the laughing group to finally meet Minwoo. “Minwoo? You’re popular around here. I’m Amber.”

“Again?” Key said exasperatedly, getting the familiar ingredients out once again.

“What?? Really? Hi!” Minwoo responded back with a smile.

“Yeah, pretty much. Everybody who’s met you talks about you.” Amber explained with a smile while getting the drink that Key just finished. “I’ll be back later.” She informed them before walking away to deliver the drink.

Key watched as Kibum and Donghae sat in their regular booths just talking to each other. The girls sure are later than usual… Ah well. He turned his attention back to see Kyuhyun, Leeteuk, and Sunny happily talking to Minwoo about various things. He tuned into his earpiece to hear their boss talking to one of the information specialists.

“Nothing, Boa.” Nichkhun said. Key could instantly tell that the other was tired. It took 5 minutes for Boa to respond back.

“Give me the name of the company that man works for and the blueprints of the entire building. We’re sending out the scouting team right now.”

Key could hear another man sigh, “Okay, boss. We’re getting that right now.” It was Henry. He must be awake again from staying up all night.

“There’s an actual big business meeting and gathering being held in the building within the hour.” Chansung informed them.

“Great. Our agents will just go in there and find any clues to our other agents.” Boa said, happy to be getting some kind of progress on this whole case.

“We’ll get ready.” Seohyun said, signaling to Hyoyeon, Hangeng, and Kibum to hurry up and meet with the boss ASAP.

Key watched as Kibum nodded to Donghae and stood up from his position in the booth. “Stay safe everyone.” He told Kibum as he walked a few feet away from the bar to go straight to the back hallway. He smiled at his younger friend before disappearing in the hall.

“Key-umma?” Minwoo questioned, hearing his umma speak suddenly.

Key looked down to Minwoo and smiled, “Oh, sorry, Min-ah. It’s nothing.” He looked to Sunny, Kyuhyun, and Leeteuk who smiled back at him. He stared a little longer at Leeteuk and Kyuhyun trying to ask a question without speaking. They both nodded at him looking at the time on their watches. “Minwoo… You’re going to meet somebody you haven’t seen in a while… are you going to be okay with that?” He gauged the reaction in the younger’s eyes.

“Who, Key-umma?” Minwoo asked curiously, tilting his head a little to the side.

“You’ll see soon enough, Minwoo.” Key smiled softly before adding, “Promise me you’ll still be my son?” He stuck out his right pinky, which Minwoo instantly grabbed with his own.

“Of course, Key-umma!” The younger excitedly said before Leeteuk heard Yuri’s voice come in through the earpiece.

“I think I see them outside. They’re coming in.”

Leeteuk nodded to Kyuhyun and Key, the former smiling sadly while taking another sip of his drink and the latter holding onto Minwoo’s pinky. He got up from his chair causing Minwoo to turn his head to him and gave him a questioning look. He showed his dimple, “I’ll be right back, okay Minwoo-ah? I’m going to get the people you haven’t seen in a while.”

“Ah…” Minwoo frowned a little bit watching his hyung leave, “Okay…” He turned back to Key smiling sadly at him. “What’s wrong?” He looked to see Kyuhyun avoiding his gaze.

Key tightened his hold on his pinky, “It’s nothing Minwoo-ah.”

Sunny smiled, “These guys just love you too much!” She happily slung an arm around Key’s waist to hug him and smiled brightly at Kyuhyun. “It’s going to be okay!”

Minwoo smiled brightly at Sunny then at the other two guys in front of him and beside him. “I love you too!”

They all laughed and hugged each other, even across the bar when Sunny noticed Leeteuk coming up to them with two younger guys trailing behind him looking around at the club in awe.

“This is the first time I’ve been in a club… Zelo… You should’ve stayed at the company.” The young man turned to his friend who accompanied him to meet his brother. “You’re still too young.”

Leeteuk turned around, “So… I hope everything goes… okay…” He watched as the brother’s eyes widened upon seeing Minwoo happily talking to two other guys and a woman, still holding onto the pinky of the blonde male. The elder turned back to look at Key and Sunny looking at them and smiling softly.

Leeteuk walked up behind Minwoo and put his hand on the other’s back gently, signaling that he was back, “Minwoo-ah…”

Minwoo instantly turned around and smiled, “Hyung! You’re… back…” He looked behind him to see two new people he’s never seen before. He saw the boy with pink hair smile and wave at him. He waved back, “Your hair is pink…”

The other boy laughed, “Yup. My name is Choi Joon Hong, but you can call me Zelo. It’s nice to finally meet you Minwoo.”

Minwoo looked at the boy questioningly, wondering how he knew his name before looking to the other boy who looked vaguely familiar. “Minwoo-ah…” He looked up to his hyung who called him. “Deh, hyung?” Key noticed the other boy slightly wince at Minwoo’s simple question.

“You know this young man… a long time ago actually. He…” He looked to Kyuhyun and Key who nodded in reassurance. “…He saved you from your parents a long time ago.”

In the background, Amber came back up to Sunny for another few drinks while Onew came downstairs to help his friend since the other two waiters weren’t available anymore. “Really?” Minwoo questioned, looking to the man next to Zelo. He had brown hair a little lighter shade than Leeteuk’s.

“Yeah… he did, Minwoo…” Leeteuk didn’t know how to tell him the news. “Remember how I told you I became a singer?”

“Deh?” Minwoo questioned again, not knowing where his hyung was going. He looked to Kyuhyun who smiled at him then at Key who tightened his hold on his pinky again. He looked behind him to see Sunny and Amber busily talking about the incoming customers. “You did, right?” He looked back to Leeteuk.

“Ah… I… didn’t become a singer…” Leeteuk slowly said, turning to look at the brother for help. He got it.

“…I did, Minwoo.”

Minwoo turned to look at the other guy, still not knowing where he knew him from. He looked back to Leeteuk, “How do they know my name, hyung? I thought you became a singer like you always wanted?” He looked back to the unknown guy who was still staring at him. He watched as Zelo gave him a small push towards him.

“Ah…” The other guy bowed down 90 degrees in front of Minwoo. “My name is now Jung Daehyun, Minwoo-ah.” Minwoo still stared at him questioningly when Daehyun stood back up, “I did achieve my dream of becoming a singer. Actually… I’m still in training… but yeah…” He trailed off, looking at Minwoo, clearly nervous at this encounter.

“So… hyung didn’t become a singer but… you did?” Minwoo restated and asked, seeing the other nod.

“Minwoo… I’m not your brother…” Leeteuk said gently, still having his hand on the younger’s back. Kyuhyun and Key both nodded their heads at Daehyun.

“I’m Kyuhyun… I was the one who found you.”

“I’m Key. I’m his self-proclaimed umma.”

Daehyun looked to the two who introduced themselves and smiled back, bowing once again. “Thank you. Thank you for taking care of him for me…” He turned back to Minwoo. “Minwoo-ah? I’m your real big brother…”

Minwoo stared wide-eyed at Daehyun before looking back up to Leeteuk avoiding his gaze. “Leeteuk-hyung?” It was one of the few times he called him by his name. He frowned before looking back down to him.

“It’s true, Min-ah. He’s your brother. I had Kyuhyun find him for me… and for you. It’s only right that you two

Chapter 37: This is such an amazing story! Can't believe I just found it.. I've never read anything like this before, but I just loved the amount of detail you put in for every single member...it must have taken a long time and so much effort! I'm a Cassie, so the things about TVXQ and JYJ left a great impression. It was just...unbelievably amazing. I loved every single bit of it, and I guess not all stories have happy endings...especially with JYJ and Key :( but thank you for sharing this story, this was really good :) good luck with your future stories! <3
