The Name You Whisper In Dreams
THE JEON FAMILY – Y CITY
Jeon Residence – Late Evening
The Jeon household is filled with soft lights and warmth, but it’s all carefully maintained. Behind the smiles, there is a constant silence no one dares speak of.
Yoongi sits in his study, eyes scanning a decoded file glowing on a hologram screen. His fingers twitch slightly when the image sharpens:
Subject 0317 – Enigma Strain Omega – Status: Active
Visual: A teenage boy in a dark cell, eyes cold but alive. His name is not listed. But his face… it’s familiar.
Mrs. Jeon
Footsteps approach. she enters, wearing her usual soft smile, holding a tray with tea.
“You haven’t eaten again, Yoongi.”
Yoongi
(not looking up):
“Have you… ever wondered what he’d look like now?”
Mrs. Jeon
(pause, then softly):
“Every day. In every child I see. But hoping hurts, Yoongi. Sometimes it breaks you.”
Yoongi
“But this… this looks like him.”
He taps the screen. She walks closer, and the moment her eyes land on the image — her smile falters. Her breath catches.
Mrs. Jeon
“… No one else has those eyes.”
Suddenly, the tray clatters to the ground. Mr. Jeon storms into the room, eyes sharp, phone in hand.
Mr. Jeon
“I just got the alert from our firewall. Someone leaked classified biotech lab footage to your terminal. Is this what I think it is?”
Yoongi
“It’s not just some leak. It’s him. Jungkook is alive.”
Mrs. Jeon
(tears falling):
“My baby... My Kookie…”
Rose
(from behind the door, confused):
“…Kookie? Who’s Kookie?”
Everyone freezes. Rose walks in, eyes wide. She looks at the screen, sees the boy. She blinks. Her own face reflected in his.
“…He looks similar especially his eyes looks like me.”
Mr. Jeon
(quietly, for the first time showing emotion):
“Because he’s your twin brother. Taken from us before you even knew how to speak.”
Rose
“But why didn’t you tell me?”
Mrs. Jeon
(kneeling in front of her):
“Because we wanted to protect you from our pain. But maybe… maybe it’s time to stop pretending.”
Mrs. Jeon
Yoongi closes the screen, breathing heavily.
Yoongi
“That image came from Sector X-9. That’s not just a lab. That’s a prison.”
Mr. Jeon
(commanding tone):
“Then we burn it down. And we bring our son home.”
Mr. Jeon
(deadly calm): On Call
“Activate Protocol Zero. Get the search units to Sector X-9. Send drones, tech scans, everything. I want the location of that lab and a full lockdown on all exits.”
Yoongi
(Eager to Save his younger brother as now he knows where is now)
“I’ll hack into their servers before they even blink.”
Mr. Jeon
He stares at the screen again — her son, grown, older, with bruises and blood but alive.
(placing a hand on the glass):
“Kookie… hold on. We’re coming.”
