After a long 6 hours at school, the bell to leave finally rang. As I stepped out of the school compound for the final time, I smiled to myself; I'd never have to come back to this school. Ever.

As I made my way to the bus stop, I noticed there was hardly anyone there, except for a couple of people from lower years who I didn't really know. Leaning against the cold wall of the bus shelter, I took out my phone to see a text from Elena.
'Sorry...not getting the bus.. I'll see you on Monday!'
'Well, you won't but meh.' I thought to myself, typing out an 'okay no problem 😊❤️' in reply, and playing 'Cherry Bomb' by NCT, which had become my favourite song despite the fact that I didn't know NCT too well yet.

'Hey, tell me more about NCT?' I typed out a message to Claire on Instagram. Half an hour later, I got a reply.
'Hey, sorry I just got home, and sure. What do you want to know about them..?'

'Just about all the members in general I guess...but tell me about Yuta and Jaehyun first 😁😁'

'😂 Well.. Yuta's Japanese, his full name is Nakamoto Yuta.'

'Mhm ok.'
'What about Jaehyun?'

'But he knows Korean fluently btw'
'Oh Jaehyun?'
'Well his full name is Jung Jaehyun'
'And he's 20 years old'

'Lol 4 years older than me then'

'Yep'
'And he's a vocalist'
'Btw he recently changed his name to Jung YoonOh'

Upon seeing that message, I froze.
'YoonOh..?' I thought to myself. 'Isn't that... Wow, ok that's weird.'
I laughed out loud, earning looks from other people on the bus.

'Oh lol okay, why'd he change his name to YoonOh?'

'Just Google it' A voice in my head replied to my own question.
'Why did Jung Jaehyun change his name to Jung YoonOh?' I typed out on the Google search box, and endless articles came up on my phone screen. I decided to click on the second one, for the ridiculous reason that I found it convincing enough.

'Jung Jaehyun said that his name had no actual meaning in Hangul because his parents came up with the name, so he changed it to Jung YoonOh.'

'Hm.. how can a name have no meaning at all, I mean, Jae, like Jaemin, and Hyun like... Hakhyun? Wait no that's Hakyeon. Well there's...Hyuna?' I wondered, whilst going back onto instagram.

'Idk why don't u google it?'
Claire had replied.

'lol I just did.'
'Apparently it's cos Jaehyun doesn't have an actual meaning in Korean, so he changed it.'

'Damn'

As I scrolled through my Instagram feed, the name 'Jung YoonOh' kept repeating in my head in an endless cycle. Eventually I decided to look up everything about Jaehyun; I was going to Korea in a couple of days anyway, so maybe I could go to one of NCT's concerts and fan meets as well.
'Jung Jaehyun' I typed into the Google search box.
'Everything about Jung Jaehyun' I read out loud to myself. 'He can speak English and Korean fluently, he has a love of imitating other members talking in other languages.'
I then clicked on the play button on the video below the text, which showed multiple members of NCT speaking in different languages, all pre-debut I assumed, due to all of them having brown hair, unlike now. There was that one member which would reappear in every part of the video, who would repeat the words in the other language. His cute laugh after seeing the members' reactions brought a smile to my face; it reminded me of an adorable child who loved pranking people and would laugh a lot after.
'Jung Jaehyun changed his name to Jung YoonOh. He grew up in America..' I continued reading, but stopped after reading the word 'America'. I grew up in America. Up until I was 7, that is; I moved to England after that.
'Could it be...?' I wondered as I got off the bus, mumbling a quick 'thank you' to the driver. Without much further thought, I found the contact named 'Omma' on my phone; she was still living in America, but she was bound to know about any of my childhood friends.
'Yes?' I heard her sharp voice on the other end.
'Omma~ Choayo' I replied.
'Ah, Sook, kwaenchana, you don't often randomly phone me like this.' Her voice softened, followed by a light chuckle. I laughed nervously in reply.
'Yeah, ahahaha, well basically, you know before I moved to England?'
'Yes...'
'And you know my old friends back in America?'
'Mhm....'
'Well, did I have any friends called YoonOh..?'
Silence from the other end.
'...omma..?' I questioned again, and got a slight cough and nervous laughter in reply.
'Well, I...why do you ask this question now dear?' She finally replied.
'I just...basically had that name in my head for a while now... So did I?' I asked again.
'You...did, yes. But his name wasn't actually YoonOh, you always just called him that.' She told me, which made me freeze.
'Y..yes, and..?' I stuttered.
'Well...when you were six, he got into an accident while he was trying to get to you and he lost his memory...' She said quietly. I felt my eyes widen.
'Mwo..?' I whispered, my lips trembling.
'I..I shouldn't have told you this, I'm sorry, just ignore whatever I said.' She replied, and I could sense her regret through her shaky voice.
'No, no, I need to know more. You've told me this much anyway.' I continued. 'So what was his actual name?'
'His actual name? Er...I think it was...Jaehyun? Yes, Jung Jaehyun, that's it.'
