"You lied to me. You said you didn' know me!" Hae Jin yelled out angrily. 

Feeling guilty, Chae Joon lowered down his head.

He had nothing to say to that.

However! His boyfriend did.

"Is not his fault" Se Jong said, defending him.

Now, this made him (Hae Jin) even more angry!

"Yes hyung, please relax. I'm sure he has a good reason" Tae Jin said, about to touch his shoulder but Hae Jin avoided his touch, hurting him (Tae Jin)

Disappointed, angry, he (Hae Jin) looked at Tae Jin, saying, "You knew about this"

"No, hyung, I....." Tae Jin stammered, desperate, hand extended to touch him (Hae Jin)

"Don't touch me! You all knew!!" He said angrily, pointing finger at them.

Heartbroken, Tae Jin dropped down his hand.

He (Tae Jin) did not know they (Chae Joon and Hae Jin) were brothers.

"I did not know. And maybe I should let my brother know he can't come here next week" Hyun Seo said,

"Shut up!" Shin Hye and Se Jong yelled at him, making him annoyed.

Hands folded on his (Hyun Seo) he had one of that look.

"How.....how could you do this to me? I trusted you" Hae Jin said, tears streaming down as he stared at Chae Joon.

Now, he (Chae Joon) felt worst.

Maybe he should have told the truth.

"What?! What did you talk about when you two went out?" Hae Jin asked, looking at Tae Jin who looked down.

Tae Jin was in a horrible mood.

Has not thought about anything.

What his father told him.

What Chae Joon told him.

He has not fixed the pieces together.

"There's a lot more to this Hae Jin. More than you know" Se Jong said, gaining his (Hae Jin) attention.

"Then tell me!!" He said to Se Jong.

Looking at Chae Joon, he (Hae Jin) said, "Why did you keep everything to yourself?! Everything you said about your brother! You were talking about me! You! You are bunny! You are the brother I love so much! The most important person in my life! And you did this to me?! Who can I trust now?!"

"Hyung" Tae Jin called out to him, taking his arm.

"Let go of me!!" Hae Jin yelled at him (Tae Jin), shaking off his hand.

"Stay away from me! You're a traitor! Just like them!" He said to Tae Jin.

"Hyung" Tae Jin called out to him, sad, tears in his eyes.

"Park Hae Jin" A familiar voice called out to him (Hae Jin) gaining their attentions.

Looking behind Tae Jin, Hae Jin saw those two.

The two people in his memories.

And this time, he saw their faces.

Though they looked older, he could tell it was them.

Every episode he had and they were in, their faces became clear and he finally remembered who they were.

What they were to him.

"L......Lee Sun.........Kim Hee Young. You....." He stammered, suddenly feeling sick.

His head began to hurt.

He (Hae Jin).......did not feel good.

"Mom, dad" Tae Jin called out to his parents, surprised.

And he wasn't the only one.

Sun and Hee Young were surprised as well.

Surprised to see Hae Jin.

"What?!" Hae Jin yelled out in shock. Feeling worst.

Tae Jin,.......Tae Jin was the baby he saw in his episode?

He.......he was their son?

What?........

He.....he can't stand........

And he fainted, falling onto the cold ground

"Hyung!!" Tae Jin screamed out.

                  ********👻*****👻*****

Time (Around 10am)

Recovered and feeling a lot better, Hae Jin was in the living room with the others.

He remembered everything now.

Everything.

On the single couch, Hae Jin sat, quiet, angry, heartbroken.

Chae Joon, Se Jong and Tae Jin shared the same couch.

The double couch (Well, just found out there's enough space for one more)

Shin Hye, Sun and Hee Young shared the triple couch.

Hyun Seo on the left arm of the triple couch.

Hae Jin did not look okay.

Everyone could see that.

However, they decided not to comment on that.

This must be a lot for him (Hae Jin)

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you the truth Hae Jin. You are my brother. My younger brother, the one I've been searching for. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to hurt you with the truth. I didn't want you to hate me after you find out the truth" Chae Joon said, breaking the quietness and awkwardness in the room.

"The reason why you had your first episode was because you met Tae Jin, your special one" he (Chae Joon) said.

"What a small world?" Hyun Seo blurt out.

Seeing the sad faces around, he decided to keep his stupid mouth shut.

That's good Hyun Seo.

"You shouldn't have had another episode unless you saw or heard something familiar. Unless you saw someone or something from your past life" Chae Joon continued.

"The second episode,.......because you slept in the master bedroom. Your room" he (Chae Joon) said.

Yes.

Hae Jin remembered now.

He used to live in this house.

The master bedroom was his room.

And for the longest time, he shared it with.........Sun.

"The third episode was on Tae Jin's fift birthday right? April 5. That day,......is also your birthday and the very day you died. Because you hadn't met Tae Jin, your special one, you never had an episode on this day. And......when he left for the states, you never had an episode on this day because he wasn't around and also because you saw, heard or felt nothing that triggered your memories" Chae Joon said.

After a heavy sigh, he (Chae Joon) continued,

"The fourth episode was on Tae Jin's 17th birthday right? That day, the process repeated itself. Believing it was the first time you were meeting your special one because you've been away from each other for so long"

"The fifth episode, you said it wasn't exactly an episode but...you remembered something. That's because......."

"You tasted something you have from your past" Se Jong completed.

"The sixth episode, you slept in the master bedroom again. And.......the second and sixth episode have something to do with this house, I believe" Chae Joon said.

"Ghosts like you Hae Jin, you get your first episode or remember something about your past life when you meet your special one. If you haven't remembered anything, that means you haven't met your special one" Se Jong said and Chae Joon continued,

"If you remember something about your past life without seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling something or someone familiar, that means, the special one is related to you. And if you recall something when your special one is not by your side and you didn't see anything familiar either, that means the place you're in is related to you. And once in a while, the place would trigger your memories"

Okay!

This was a lot for him (Hae Jin) but he was getting it.

"You recalled something again after you met Tae Jin because Tae Jin is related to you. Because you saw something familiar and.......... because this place is related to your past life" Chae Joon said.

Well, since he (Hae Jin) remembered everything now.

Maybe he should share this too.

"On the day I disappeared, went missing, whatever you like to call it,.......I...... you're the one I saw" Hae Jin said the last sentence, looking at Sun.

"Yes, I came around a year ago but I didn't come near the house" Sun said.

And he did not see him (Hae Jin).

He (Sun) thought.

"I......." And before Sun could complete his words, Hae Jin attacked him.

"You betrayed me Sun. I trusted you all, gave you my everything and you betrayed me" he said, angry.

Tae Jin, who has fixed the pieces together, could not lift up his head.

Tae Jin never saw Hae Jin in the picture his dad shown him.

It was only his dad, his mom and Chae Joon.

His hyung wasn't in it.

He (Tae Jin).........was devastated!

Anxious.

In disbelief.

His life.......was so damn complicated.

And Nancy was right.

His love life, was complicated.

What would happen to him and Hae Jin now?

"That's not it Hae Jin. I can explain " Sun said, dejected.

"There's no need! Tae Jin is the prove! Both of you went behind my back and you........."

"What's going on? What's Hae Jin saying?" Shin Hye asked, cutting him (Hae Jin) off

"I......." Sun began but couldn't continue.

And so, Hee Young took the lead, "We were all friends. We lived in this very house. Park Hae Jin......"

Park.......he (Tae Jin) remember, when his mother got drunk before, she.....she was about to tell him who his dad chose over her

Park......she was going say Park Hae Jin, right?

Everything! Everything was now a mess.

"Sun and Hae Jin loved each other and they were dating" Hee Young said, surprising Shin Hye and Hyun Seo.

Se Jong wasn't surprised cause he already knew it.

Chae Joon told him everything.

Tae Jin, wasn't surprised, he was hurting.

His hyung,.....was the very reason why his father left his mother even though she loved him so much............

"Hee Young was in love with Hae Jin as well" Chae Joon spoke the news, surprising everyone. Including Hee Young, Se Jong, Hae Jin, Tae Jin and Sun.

What?! Tae Jin exclaimed in mind, surprised.

'He chose him and he chose him'.

He did not choose me.

He.....his mother was talking about Hae Jin, his hyung!

She was not talking about his dad!

He, she meant Hae Jin chose his dad and his dad chose Hae Jin.

He did not choose me.

She meant, Hae Jin did not choose her.

"You knew?" Hee Young asked, surprised.

She never thought anyone would find out.

She tried her heart to hide her feelings for Hae Jin.

But then,..... Chae Joon knew.

"You did?" Hae Jin asked Hee Young, still surprised.

*Sigh, Hee Young sighed before answering,

"Yes, but I didn't want to ruin what we had so I said nothing. You guys loved each other very much and I....I knew I had no chance"

What?!

Hae Jin was still in shock.

Hee Young loved him?!

He never noticed it!

"Hae Jin went abroad to study for a year and when he came back, he called me. It was his birthday and the day of his arrival. He wanted to celebrate with the three most important people in his life" Chae Joon said.

A sad look on his face, Hae Jin continued, "I came home but none of you were here. The house looked abandoned. I later found out from auntie Yoon Ah, the old woman who knew me. The very one who still came around after my death. She visited once every year when she had time, hoping to see me once"

She told him when they met.

"She was my nanny and the only one whom I considered a mother after my mom died. She was my everything. Loved and cared for me so much.......until the very end" Hae Jin said, looking sad.

Auntie Yoon Ah was his mother after his mom died.

Chae Joon's mom, never measured up to her.

"She told me you were in the hospital. Gave me the address and I went there. I later found out that,........the place is actually Shin Joon's hospital"

Her dad's? Shin Hye asked, surprised. 

Did it mean her dad knew about this too?

Everything?

"I......I got the room you were in and.....I was about to enter when I heard your conversation" Hae Jin said, looking at Hee Young and Sun.

"You said I had to know the truth before anything else. The baby you had was both your son. Anger, heartbroken, feeling betrayed I stormed in"

"You named the baby 'Tae Jin' and then you left" Hee Young completed his (Hae Jin) words and he continued.

"I got into an accident and I died. Thinking about all the happy memories with you guys, I wished I was back in our place, where all the happy memories where"

"That's why" Chae Joon began but didn't get to finish.

"Yes, I know now, that's why I was trapped here. If I didn't wish for that, I wouldn't have been" Hae Jin said.

"Tae Jin became your special one to fix everything. The mistakes of his parents. He became your special one to fix them all and help you cross over" Chae Joon said and he (Hae Jin) looked at Tae Jin.

The boy had his head down, eyes widened in shock.

If so, then,.......what was he?

A fixer?

Why should he be the one to fix his parents mistakes?

Tae Jin was angry.

"I need some air" he announced and left.

Everyone watched him leave, feeling bad for him.

Hee Young felt guilty.

Her son did not deserve this.

"There's something you should know, Hae Jin" Chae Joon said, gaining their attentions.

"Your death wasn't an accident. You...... were murdered" Chae Joon announced, surprising Hae Jin, Shin Hye and Hyun Seo.

Se Jong, Sun and Hee Young were not surprised cause they already knew about this.

"I was murdered?" Hae Jin asked, surprised.

"My.......my mother did" Chae Joon said, feeling sorry, sad while Hae Jin, Shin Hye and Hyun Seo were surprised. 

Se Jong took Chae Joon's hand, trying to comfort him.

Same time, Tae Jin who went out for some air, was approached by someone.

Someone he knew.

Someone he did not want to meet right now.

"And she did not do it alone. Shin Joon was involved" Chae Joon said, surprising Hae Jin, Hyun Seo and Shin Hye.

"My father?" She (Shin Hye) said in disbelief.

In shock.
