I believed my life is of no significance to anybody but myself. Before I could even remember anything, I was already at an orphanage. Sunshine Kids Orphanage that was located just on the outskirts of Seoul.
Growing up amongst tens of siblings, I was used to all the noise and the crowd that it never annoys me. Though we were often looked down at pitifully, my childhood was filled with the warm company of a lot of other children and of course: Mrs Jo, Nurse Hwang and Teacher Jang. The luckier kids gets adopted and gets new family but I never wanted to do that. I wanted to stay here with everyone. This is home. The only home I ever knew of.
I never knew all the things I knew since birth would change. One day, a chaebol came to the orphanage looking for me. Knowing nobody outside of this tiny world of mine, I was intrigued. I was more intrigued when I first met him.
"Hello." He said softly.
He looked at me with similar looking pair of eyes I looked back at him with. Spoke with a pair of small lips that resembled mine. Dark jet black hair sitting on top of his head just like mine that falls to my shoulders. I unconsciously touched my nose because his' is the same middle-bridged nose that I constantly think of as ugly. It felt like I was looking into a mirror, only difference being him being about half a head taller than me, and his prominent jawline. Gender differences.
Mayhaps, gender is probably the only difference between us.
Odd. Very odd.
"You must Ha Eun-sshi."
I blinked at his statement. It wasn't even a question but a statement. Short and strong. I managed a nod at my name and he smiled, revealing a set of perfectly white teeth as his face lit up like the ray of sunshine at the break of dawn.
"I found you. Finally found you."

That was the day my life changed. Lee Ha Joon, the only heir of Lee Corps.. is my twin brother. Ha Joon found out about me years back but he didn't have the resources to look for me thoroughly and he didn't want our parents to know that he has found out.
As soon as he could, Ha Joon came to bring me 'home' with him. Ha Joon was the one who even went to get proper DNA tests to clarify my identity and brought me to our parents. The very two people who abandoned me just looked at me as if it doesn't matter that I was standing right in front of them. The very daughter they just left on the steps of the orphanage when I was a day old.
"We'll make space for her." Mum said as she studied her nails and looked at Dad. She was still wearing a glittery black formal dress that fell to her knees. They just came home from a social gathering, apparently.
Dad looked at me and said, "Of course we can. She is our daughter and she can stay here."
Just like that, our parents made their way into the house and it was just Ha Joon and I again. Ha Joon have prepared me prior to this meeting that our parents are cold by nature. He grew up in this huge mansion without much interaction with our parents.
Ha Joon helped me with everything back then; he barely let me leave his sights. He insisted that a room was reconstructed and custom-designed specifically for me. Meanwhile, he refused that I take one of the guest rooms and must reside in his room till it finishes. His room not only has it's own shower and walk-in closet but also his own study room and game room.
We spent countless nights staying up playing video games or just hanging out together in his game room. The sofas was big enough to sleep in, and Ha Joon usually just sleeps there with me. Even when my room finished constructing, we would still often hung out either at his room or mine; Ha Joon always wanted to be around and I honestly don't mind.
