"But I have never met you. I don't understand...", Jungwon said.

"Me either. But you are our Jungwon."

It was after school and Niki was sitting with Jungwon, waiting for his brothers.

"My brain can't comprehend this...", Jungwon sighed.

Niki smiled at him.

"So, your brothers, are they nice?", Niki asked.

"Oh we're all nice. We have something in common."

"What is it?"

"We all have the same neurological disorder. I have the least severe form of it. Taehyun and Seonwoo have the more severe form."

"Oh..."

"Don't worry. The only thing is that they rarely talk. I do most of the talking for us. Also, Seonwoo has occasional fainting spells. He has a service dog."

Jungwon saw out of the corner of his eye, two people running towards them.

"There they are."

Niki and Jungwon stood as the two ran up the them. They hugged Jungwon.

Seonwoo's dog, a German shepherd puppy he called "MaiMai" sniffed on Niki.

"Oh sorry about her. She likes people.", Jungwon said, "She's making sure you're not a danger."

"Well hello puppy."

The dog went back to Seonwoo.

Niki waved at the pair of boys.

They waved back.

"I'm Niki.", he said.

Taehyun did sign language, saying "My name is Taehyun."

"Nice to meet you."

Taehyun again did a sign, pointing to Seonwoo. He said, "This is Seonwoo, my little brother."

"He's adorable. I'm Jungwon's friend. My friends invited you all over to our house. Is it okay if you come over?"

Taehyun looked at Jungwon.

"It's okay Hyun. He's nice."

Taehyun nodded, looking back to Niki.

"Good. They should be here soon."

The boys sat down together, waiting for their ride to arrive.

Seonwoo kept laughing at his dog, who was just laying on the ground. He and Taehyun held hands the entire time.

"Do they always hold hands?", Niki asked.

"Yeah. Hyun is like a protector for Seonwoo. He helps him do a lot and never separates from him. We all share a room at home."

"How sweet."

A car pulled up, and Jay hopped out, running up to them.

Jungwon stood up.

"Wonie?", Jay asked.

Jungwon smiled.

"Jay?"

They ran to each other, hugging tightly.

Taehyun looked at Niki and signed "Who is that?".

"Someone who Jungwon remembers.", Niki replied.

"You're here. You're alive.", Jay said.

"I'm alive, yes. What happened to me?"

"Something terrible."

Jay saw Seonwoo and Taehyun, who very obviously didn't recognize him.

"Let's get you all home.", Jay said, "We need to have a long talk."

"But wait! We need to tell mom and sister where we are going.", Jungwon said.

"That's okay. I'll wait."

Jungwon took out his phone and dialed the number of his sister.

"Hi. We're going with friends tonight."

Jay listened to him.

"Yes I'll make sure Seonwoo takes his medicine. I know, I know."

Jay was watching Seonwoo pet his dog, and smile at it.

"I got it. I'll call you back when we're headed home. Love you Lily. Save me some cookies too. Yes all of them."

Jay could swear he almost lost it when he heard that name.

Niki did the same, standing up and walking to Jungwon.

"I'm sorry, what's your sister's name?"

"Lily. She's a sweetheart. She takes care of us when mom is sick. She gets sick a lot."

"Huh-, sure. Okay let's go home before I stop functioning.", Jay said.

All of the boys, and MaiMai got into the car.

"So, those two don't speak?", Jay asked.

"No they don't. Uh..we have a neuro disorder. Our mom adopted us because no one else wanted us due to how much care we would need."

"I'm sorry about that Jungwon. But, you remember me, so, what else do you know?"

"Oh, I know Niki apparently. He showed me photos. I just don't know how I know him."

"What about Seonwoo and Taehyun?"

"They don't know Niki, I think. At least, they didn't seem like it."

"So we have a lot of work to do."

They heard a whining sound, and turned around to see Seonwoo holding his stomach.

Taehyun signed to him, and he nodded back.

Jungwon interpreted for Jay.

"He's hungry. He doesn't eat much, he didn't even eat breakfast. That's why he's always under supervision. We have to keep an eye on him."

"I see. What does he eat?"

"Depending on his mood, anything. He seems to be happy today, so whatever we can find."

Before Jay pulled off, Niki reminded him of Kai and Beomgyu.

They waited a bit and saw the boys come running from their campus.

They stopped when they saw the three in the car.

Taehyun stared at them.

He knew these boys.

Kai looked at him. His boyfriend, who he hadn't seen, and never got the chance to see again, since the events 19 months ago, was there.

"Hop in. We have a long night ahead."

They got into the very cramped car.

Kai was right next to Taehyun and Seonwoo, and looked his boyfriend in the eyes.

Taehyun smiled at him, using sign language to tell him something.

Kai smiled back, understanding what he said.

"What did he say?", Jay asked.

"He said...I love you."

Jay smiled.

Taehyun leaned on Kai, sighing.

"He knows me?", Kai asked.

"Seems like it. Huh, everyone remembers their boyfriends. Interesting."

"Ah so you admit you were my boyfriend.", Jay said.

"Ahem-...yes."

"You're still so cute."

Jay drove on home. Niki took the time to text Yeonjun and alert him to what happened.

He also messaged Shota, who he had become really good friends with.

They often talked about things like getting Jiung and Taeyang to take their own microchips out because he didn't want to be responsible for any dying.

Kai and Beomgyu would come home with Niki and Jay, until Yeonjun and Soobin speedily drove over there.

When they reached home, they all walked inside. Heeseung was playing video games, in his black hoodie and shorts, when he saw them.

He dropped the controller, standing up.

"No way...", he said.

Seonwoo, Jungwon, and Taehyun waved at him.

Heeseung came up to them, hugging them all.

Taehyun signed "You have nice eyes." to him.

"Thank you.", Heeseung replied.

"Okay does everyone understand sign language except for me?", Jay asked.

"Yes.", Jungwon said.

Jake came downstairs.

"Hey I broke the mini fridge. Boys?"

The three waved at Jake.

"They're...alive."

Jake ran to them and hugged them.

"Yeah, and so is Lily.", Jay said.

"Burn her.", Heeseung said, "Alive."

"What-", Jungwon said.

"I mean...*fake cough*...hi. Are you guys alright?"

"We're okay.", Jungwon responded, "I'm just confused as to how I know Niki, Jay, and how Taehyun remembers that cute guy."

Kai smirked.

"Sit down. We'll explain."

They all sat down in the living room.

Sunghoon came downstairs, seeing the group, and joined them. Of course he hugged the boys.

Heeseung began to explain the entire series of events that occurred two weeks ago.

Jungwon had his mouth open in shock as he listened to the story.

Taehyun and Seonwoo would look at each other on occasion.

When Heeseung was done, they all waited for a response from the three.

"Wow...um...I did not expect that.", Jungwon said.

Taehyun signed "So Lily did this to us?".

"She did.", Jake said.

Taehyun seemed sad. Kai put an arm on him, which made him smile again.

Seonwoo pouted, reaching hands out to Heeseung.

"Aww, cute."

Heeseung picked him up, sitting the boy on his lap.

Seonwoo snuggled into him, still holding a hand on his stomach.

"I'll make them some food.", Jay said.

"Thank you Jay.", Heeseung replied.

"Of course."

Jungwon sat back, trying to comprehend his life up to this point. All of this information was pretty crazy to him.

To think that his own sister, who wasn't actually his sister, would do this to them, really hurt him.

Kai and Beomgyu were having a full conversation with Taehyun in sign language, catching up with one another.

They had a lot to adjust too.

The fact that the three now had to deal with this issue, because of what happened to them, was so much to worry about.

Seonwoo's dog got up, going to him and tapping his nose on his leg.

"What is she doing?", Heeseung asked.

"MaiMai is Seonwoo's service dog. She alerts like that before one of his fainting spells."

"Oh, oh! What do I do?"

"Nothing. It's okay. Just hold him."

In a few seconds, Heeseung felt the boy on him completely relax.

He looked down to see his eyes closed. To say Heeseung was nervous was an understatement. But at least he knew Seonwoo was okay.

"So Hyun doesn't need a service dog?", Beomgyu asked.

"He actually does, but for a different reason. His dog is still in training.", Jungwon responded.

"Oh really? What's his reason?"

"Seizures. They aren't as frequent as Seonwoo's spells but they are happening enough to warrant a constant protection in the form of a dog."

"My poor baby! I'll kill her again for hurting you.", Kai said.

"I haven't heard your voice in weeks. I forgot how you sounded.", Beomgyu said.

"You missed my sweet voice?"

"I actually did. As much as you deeply trouble me, I did."

"That's sweet. I knew you loved me."

Taehyun signed "Stop flirting with him like that. Now I'm sad." to Kai.

"I'm sorry baby. Hehehe, love youuuu."

Kai planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Anyone against pizza?", Jay asked, "I broke the stove."

"Again?", Jake asked.

"Again?", Heeseung asked.

"How many times has this happened?", Jungwon asked.

"Three."
