Present time Luna's pov I was 21 years old and my sister Lily was 19 years old, my sister and I are in a group called sirens, we are living in a beautiful luxury house. it's 5:00 In the morning I wake up sweating from my nightmare I keep on having the same nightmare about my past I got up and opened my door, and went downstairs and went to the kitchen I open the fridge and grab pure leaf tea. I grabbed a chocolate frosted donut for a midnight snack and went back upstairs and went to my room. I started eating my donut and I got a lot of notifications from my phone, I got done eating my donut and I grabbed my phone and saw a lot of missing text messages from Byung cheol from RK3 group, I was confused why he is texting me this late so I start texting him back. in texts. Byung cheol: Luna are you up?...Luna?, hey Byung cheol why are you texting me this late? Byung cheol: I couldn't sleep. what about you?, I woke up from the same nightmare again, Byung cheol: oh damn since we both couldn't sleep do you want to go out?, of course but where to? Byung cheol: probably the beach so we can watch the sunrise if you want, okay I am okay with that, Byung cheol: okay then see you later I am going to pick you up. Out of the texts I got up again and got ready, I got new notifications from him by saying he is here, I grabbed my house keys and went downstairs and left. I see him and smile at him, he opens the car door for me and I get into the car, he shuts the door and gets into the car and shuts his own door he is starting driving. he put music on Bluetooth car radio hours later we made it to the beach he got out of the car and shut his door, and he came on my side and he opened the door for me. thank you Byung, Byung cheol: you're welcome, he smiles at me and I smile back at him we start walking and we found a spot to sit down I look at my phone and it's 6:02 in the morning the sunrise coming up and the wind was blowing my hair I got up and take my shoes off and starting play in the water with my feet while byung cheol taking pictures of me with the sunrise in the background I started giggling, byung cheol: you should smile more you look pretty when you smile. I look at him and just smile at him. It's now 7:00 in the morning, and we start walking back to the car He opens the door for me and shuts it and he opens his side door and shuts it. Byung? Why can't you sleep?, Byung cheol: Because I have a dream about your sister, why? I said while looking at him in confusion, Byung cheol: it's not a good dream but in my dream she was arguing with someone then right after that she went missing and I saw the news that she was killed usually my dreams always comes true, please don't let it come true Byung cheol: I will try Luna. The car stopped at the mall he got out of the car and shut his door and came on my side and he opened the door for me and he shut it. We enter the mall, what are we doing here Byung? Byung cheol: to get new clothes for the both of us. We went separate ways to look at stuff, I was by the clothes section I was looking at this pretty red side slit dress with spaghetti straps, I look at the price it's $19.11 I was thinking in my head should I buy it or get it next time I keep on standing there thinking then someone came up to me and touched my shoulder I turn around and look at that person when I look up at him it was my brother Elijah who was in prison before but recently he got out (the reason why he was in prison is because he Almost killed my rapist, my cousin Joo-won the one who abuse me and rape me when I was 17 years old and I got beaten by his mom and her friends. The last time I saw my brother was on my birthday when the cops came over at my house during my party and asked him if his name is Elijah he got arrested at 16 Elijah and Lily are twins but Elijah is older then Lily, Elijah Is a bit tall then me he is 6'1 tall. )Elijah?....I didn't give him enough time to answer I hugged him with tears going down on my face and he hugged me back ....I can feel he is crying....Elijah: I miss you Luna so fucking much, I miss you too....I whipe my tears away with the bottom of my sleeve. When did you get out of prison? Elijah: Last summer in 2024, That long and you haven't called me because why? I pulled back a little, still holding his arms. Elijah...you stopped giving me letters when you were in prison I didn't eat for almost a month because you stopped giving me letters I didn't know if you were okay or not I was worried sick about you, my voice started cracking like I am about to cry again and I keep calling mom to see if she knows where the hell you at but she didn't she never told me anything but on the phone she sound like she is crying that time then ever since we stopped talking our dad don't talk to me anymore I don't know why, I raised my voice a little (with mix emotions, crying and getting angry)....Elijah didn't say anything he just stood there feeling guilty, Elijah: they didn't let me send you letters, because I keep on talking about joo-won so I was banned sending you guys letters but I'm here now and I promise I won't leave you again. I stopped crying my eyes are puffy from crying. should I buy this dress? Elijah: yes but let's try it on first,I went to the fitting room and closed the curtain, the lighting is slightly too white, I take my clothes off and glances in the mirror I gaze at my scar from my gallbladder surgery I pokes it lightly, (inner thoughts: still weird looking...whatever) I put the dress on and checks myself from the side
(something like that and this picture don't belong to me). I am still standing in front of the mirror then after hours of looking at myself in the mirror I came out of the room and showed my brother. does this look good on me? Elijah: it looks beautiful on you Luna, you should get it. I ended up getting it and more stuff then I saw Byung cheol, he was holding bags of stuff, Byung cheol! I yell for him and he looks at me then he sees my brother Elijah behind me he started walking up to us, Byung cheol: hey Luna and Luna who's this Guy?, Oh that's my brother Elijah Byung cheol: Nice to meet you, They shake hands and smiles at each other, Byung cheol: You should sign up for a idol and plus you're good looking there's plenty of boys group that you can join, he showed some pictures to Elijah of the groups and what he interests in, Elijah: Just send me the group names and the company phone number, He smiles at him, Elijah have you text our sister Lily that you're back? Elijah: Yes I did about an hour ago. after hours we went to the food court I sat down and put my bags down right next to me the boys were ordering food for us I went on my phone while waiting for them to come back a text popped up on my phone it was from unknown number though the text it says " Luna~" then the picture came up there was me sitting down in the food court in the mall my heart drop but I didn't get scared I look around for that person but there was nobody so I got confused the boys came back with trays loaded with food they sat down and passing the food I put my phone back into my butt pocket, Perfect timing I was starving, Elijah: Luna you look pale. Is everything okay? Yeah just...tired Elijah: are you sure?, yes Elijah, we started eating our food, After eating we clean up our mess then we went to escalator stairs but my phone buzzed again from the unknown number though the text it says "Luna you think they forgot I didn't. I remember everything. I remember the screams",I put my phone away again this time I was feeling uncomfortable and confused about how they know me. I went to a bath & body works store and I went to the perfume section the boys went to the games store so I am alone again I was looking at the warm vanilla sugar perfume and lotion which it was my favorite perfume and lotion I hear my phone buzz I take my phone out and read the text from the unknown number through the text it says "Luna you look beautiful when you're alone. just like before Elijah and Byung cheol can't save you. they're gone. you're mine now"I grabbed my phone and started calling Dean (my guy best friend since high school) he answers my calls in the call Dean: Luna?, Dean can you pick me up please? Dean: yeah of course but are you okay?, yes she hung up on him then she started texting the unknown number, in texts who are you? and why are you doing this to me?, I started staring at my phone waiting for a reply, the response came instantly, Unknown number: i'm the only one who remembers the real you. The version you buried. You don't know me, unknown number: I know what you did, what you didn't say and what you let happen, You're wrong I didn't let anything happen, Unknown number: you stayed silent that's the same as permission, You don't get to twist my story, Unknown number: it's not twisted it's just unfinished and I'm here to finish it.out of texts Dean came in and noticed me he came up to me, Dean: Luna, you sounded off on the phone. what's going on?, I forced a small smile slipping my phone deeper into my pocket, i'm fine really I just ....need to see you I am not feeling good so can you take me home..Dean: yeah of course. I texted the boys that I am not feeling good, we exited the mall and we started walking to his car and I opened my door I sat down and shut my door he did the same I look at the time it is now 11:00 am, I took a nap after hours I woke up and stares out the window, after a few hours Dean pulled into the driveway, the tires crunching soft against the gravel, I got out of the car and shut it, thank you for the ride, Dean: you're welcome, he smiles at me before leaving my driveway he drives away as I was standing in my driveway, I started walking to my door and unlock it I went inside and shut my door I took my shoes off and went to the kitchen I put my phone down on the counter and put my hands on my forehead and start rubbing it because I have a huge headache coming in, I look at my epilepsy medicine bottle and I noticed my bottle is almost gone I look up and there was people in the living room I didn't know we have company over my sister Lily came up to me, Lily: where have you been?, I've been out and also good news your twin brother Elijah he's out of jail now I just found today I didn't know he was at the mall so that's surprised me and I asked him when he got out he said last summer that's when he got out and also he might be joining a group, did our manager refill my medicine,Lily freezes her eyes widen in shock and happy, Lily still doesn't speak she just stands there, smiling so big it almost looks unreal her eyes are glossy and overwhelmed, Lily... say something I start laughing a little softly Lily: I...I can't believe he's really back (she knows, what happened what our cousin Joo-won did to me when I was 17 years because she was the first thing I told I didn't tell my parents about it and she knows about the fight between Elijah and joo-won)Anyways Lily who is those two guys in the living room and where's Aria, Yeon-ah, Yuna, Jae-i, He-ra, and hope?..Lily: oh um they went out with their guy friends for a little bit and for the guys they are soong-an and taehyun they are in the same group HYPEZONE, but why are they here? Lily: Oh because we are having a sleepover our manager and their manager are letting us but the rest of their group and our group are coming back soon though, don't forget to pull out the air mattress for them and I'm going to take a nap so don't come in my room, Lily just smile at me because she knows I have a headache. I went upstairs and went to my room and shut my door and lay down on my bed,I was looking at my red birthstone heart necklace with my ring on it they were on my nightstand, I turn on my TV and play soft sounds to fall asleep to, After hours I eventually went to sleep, it's now 5:00 in the Afternoon I was still asleep. my room was dim, the only light coming from the soft glow of the TV screen, after some time I woke up and grabbed my phone from my nightstand and looked at the time it was now 7:00 pm, I took my phone off the charger and I noticed I got a missed call from sung-ho, i sat up slowly the room still dim, the soft sounds from the TV looping in the background, my head felt lighter, but my body was still stiff from sleeping too long, I got up and went to my drawer picking my pajamas and I went to my bathroom holding my towel in my hand and shut my bathroom door I start taking my hair down while looking in the mirror, I start taking my clothes off and hop into my huge luxury master shower the warm water hit my back first the steam rose slowly curling around the edges of the glass, I closed my eyes and leaned my head back letting the water run through my hair, I start shaving everything then I put shampoo in my hair then after that I put conditioner in my hair then wash my body then eventually I got out of the shower, I wrapped my towel around me and went back to my room I grabbed my warm vanilla sugar lotion and putting it onto my body. Then after some time I put on soft pajama shorts and my blue oversized T-shirt that goes down to my knees, I brush my hair and start french braiding it, I grabbed my stuff and went downstairs I put my stuff down and grab the air mattress and started unfolding it next to taehyun's bed, the room was quiet except for the soft sounds from the TV, I plugged in the air pump and watched the mattress slowly rise, taehyun glanced over at me and smiled a little, then went back to scrolling on his phone, I unplug the air pump and I start making my bed I fluffed my pillow and laid it down at the top of the mattress then spread my blankets across the bed, I got done making my bed my sister Lily came back from the kitchen getting snacks and drinks then turn off the light everything is dark except for the TV I got comfortable in my bed I was under my blankets laying down watching TV with my sister and friends, Eventually the others went to their bed my phone start buzzing it says incoming call from sung-ho I got up and went to the bathroom to answer the call, in the call sung-ho: Luna? why are you calling me? sung-ho: I want to tell you that i'm sorry for what I did back then I didn't want to come with them but everybody thinks I'm toxic and hits my own partners everything was a lie everything was false a lot of people tells lies about me including you, you believe them they blackmail me if I didn't go with them they will share my personal stuff so I'm really sorry I think about you everyday and I understand why you break up with me back then technically we didn't really date we were just close friends and about to be in the talking stage before everything changed back then I am really really really sorry Luna, I can tell on your face you were forced the way you told me "I am so sorry please forgive me" and I know you didn't mean to hit me I forgive you a long time ago sung-ho...just be honest with me next time instead of hiding your emotions, sung-ho: You're too kind for me I don't deserve your kindness, he started breaking down crying i against my body on the cold freezing wall I listen to him crying he's been holding his pain for a long time Sung-ho: I didn't mean to hurt you I swear I didn't, I know...I know you didn't, sung-ho: I just wanted to protect myself but I ended up pushing you away I ruined everything, You didn't ruin everything you just didn't know how to hold on sung-ho: I miss you every day even when I laugh even when i'm with people it's you're still in the back of my mind, I don't know what we are now but I know what we were and I'll never forget that, sung-ho: I'll do better even if it's just from a distance, then start with being honest with yourself with everyone sung-ho: I will, I don't know if it's too early but i was wondering if you want to come over and spend the night with me and my friends we're having a sleepover, sung-ho: You want me to come over?, only if you want to no pressure, sung-ho: I do I mean yeah i'd like that , okay i'll send you the address, sung-ho: thank you for everything.
