DAHYUN'S POV

The buzzer rang, signaling that it's time for dinner, so I quickly stood up and headed to the dining area of our house. I saw dad glancing at me for a second and then Jin oppa's gaze turned to me. I'm smelling something fishy about the two of them. Maybe Jin oppa told dad what is his plan for the Christmas. I'm actually hesitating and I'm not yet deciding what to do. I'm so confused.

We all sat down and the maids starting serving our appetizers. I noticed Jin oppa looking at me again, so I just tried to shrug off the awkward feeling and continued eating.

"Dahyun-ah," dad called me, so I faced him right away and swallowed my food. "You mentioned to your older brother that you wanted to celebrate Christmas with Jimin, too." My eyelids widened a bit. I felt like my food didn't go down smoothly, so I grabbed the wine glass and drank my water. "Is it true?" His tone is very serious, so my heart started pounding really fast and loud. I think he's going to start preaching because he's clearly against the idea of celebrating with Jimin in the prison.

I lowered my head, "Yes." I said, almost whispering because of how low my voice is.

"Okay, then." I faced him right away just to see him smiling widely. "Let's celebrate with my future son-in-law." I am shocked, like I can't move--I can't even breathe! I felt like I just hit a jackpot! Actually, the feeling is very overwhelming that I can't even explain how am I specifically feeling.

I stood up because of excitement and hugged dad from his back. "Thanks a lot, dad." I heard him chuckle. "Thank you." I kissed his cheek.

"Anything for my lovely daughter." I noticed my brothers smiling as well. My eyes went to Taehyung oppa all of a sudden. His birthday is coming soon! What should I do for him? What is the family going to do for him? Is there a celebration like Jin oppa's?

I went back to my seat as I smilingly eat. I feel like everything's going on my way right now. I feel so overwhelmed by dad's decision. I really thought he will not approve of it because his tone earlier is scary and serious at the same time. I sighed because of relief.

We continued eating dinner until we finished. I went straight back to my room and took out my diary that is hidden inside my dresser. This is a diary consisting of my everyday life. It's actually been a while since I last wrote here. I became really busy since I went with dad. He took me in and I almost forgot to write something in here.

I opened it and smiled at the first thing I saw. It's a printed picture of me and my mom when she gave birth to me. I don't know how did the doctor keep it because he just gave it to me when I went there. How did he know me? I look completely different when I was still a baby. Maybe it's just destiny or fate.

The first time I wrote something here is when I was in 6th grade.

Dear diary,

My crush didn't notice me :(
It became a bad day because of that :(
I don't want to eat right now :(
I won't be able to sleep :(
I hate it </3

~ Dahyun

I cringed after reading that. Oh my god, that's so weird! No wonder my crush ignored me as always! It's because I'm a strange woman!

I flipped the pages and read them one by one. I didn't know that I was already crying because I wrote something in here that involves my mom. I miss her. I wish I can visit her soon. Oh wait, I can visit her by tomorrow. I'm free for tomorrow. I'll just go there by myself of ask one of my brothers to accompany me.

At last, I arrived at the blank pages. I looked for a pen and started narrating what happened to me throughout my stay here. I smiling as I write down everything, especially about Jimin. I wish mom didn't die when she gave birth to me. I wish she's still here with me, with us.

I heard two knocks on the door, so I looked at it and it revealed Jin oppa. His hands are inside his pockets and he's walking towards my direction.

"Thinking of something deep?" He asked, so I closed the diary and sat properly. He glanced at it for a second. "Is that a diary?" I nodded and he chuckled. Maybe he's amused of the fact that his little sister is keeping a diary.

"What about it?"

"I find it cute." We both chuckled. He walked nearer and patted my head. "I'm free tomorrow. Wanna hang out?"

"Ah, I'm planning to visit mom." I said hesitantly. I'm sure he's missing his mom as well since both us lost our mothers. "Do you want to see your mom as well?"

"That's a great idea. Let's go tomorrow." I nodded and then he just said a few words before saying good night. I softly smiled at him and watched him go. Once he's gone, I decided to keep that diary and go to bed.  I stretched my arms since my body aches a little.

I did my evening ritual before sleeping. After doing all of those, I decided to read a book until I fall asleep.

"Where are you going?" Dad asked when he saw me and Jin oppa walking downstairs. He stopped from reading the newspaper and looked at the two of us.

"We'll just hang out." Jin oppa answered with a smile. Dad gave us his permission and sent us off to wherever we'll go. I looked at the car's clock and saw that it's just 2 PM. If we finish visiting them early, then I can visit Jimin to tell him my good news.

"Oppa," I called Jin oppa once we arrived the memorial park where his mom is buried. Wow, just wow. My mom is buried in a public cemetery, while his mom is laying on a memorial park. "Do you mind if I ask what's going on between you and Mina? How is your relationship going?"

He suddenly smiled as if he just saw her, as if Mina is infront of him. Aigoo, my brother is in love with Mina! "We're okay. Getting stronger, I guess?" We laughed and entered a flower shop nearby the area. He brought two bouquets of flowers which made me wonder. Why did he buy two bouquets anyway?

We went back to the memorial park and headed towards his mom's niche. I don't know why my heart is pumping abnormally fast. Maybe because this is the first time I'm seeing my brother's mother. Will she accept me or will she haunt me? Ah, I'm nervous!

"Here she is." He smiled as we stopped at a niche.

🕇 Kim Jin Hee🕇

"Annyeonghashimnika." I bowed formally and smiled at her. Jin oppa laughed and put the flowers on her niche.

"Mom, this is Kim Dahyun, our half-sister." Jin oppa put his arm around my shoulder. I waved at her and grinned widely. "She's been wanting to see you even before we were still young. She really wanted to take you in, but she can't find you." I froze when I heard his statement. Jin oppa's mom is kind. "But I think she found you even before she dies."

"W-What do you mean by that, Jin oppa?" He glanced at the niche and glanced back at me. He smiled very sincerely, but my heart keeps pounding really fast.

"She kept a photo of you and your mom. Eventually, she gave it to you." Goosebumps. Goosebumps all over my body. I can't believe that she's my mom's surgeon. "She's pretty, right?"

"Y-Yes, she is." I nodded and gazed at her niche. I suddenly smiled.

Thank you, ahjumma, for giving me that photo. If you didn't take that, maybe I won't have any clue what would my mother look like. Thanks a lot. Because of you, I saw my mom even before she dies and I have a souvenir.
