"Time heals nothing, it just replaces memories . . ."

They want Wang Jie, not Wang Yibo. 

I stared at the reflection the mirror showed; I looked just like my brother; we were twins, after all. 

People always say there are two of one kind when it comes to twins, one will be the obedient one, and the other will cause you headaches all the time; in my case, I somehow ended up being the latter. 

I squeezed my cheeks, trying to gain some colour in my cheeks as I blinked, the reflection of the mirror mirroring my movements. 

It wasn't the fact I was a troublesome kid or anything. It was just that my parent's personalities couldn't get along with mine; I had always thought I was in someday defect, seeing how my brother, Wang Jie, would be able to make my parents so proud, in a way, I could never. 

Only after growing up did I realize I wasn't a 'defect', and nothing was wrong with me; my parents were just more dominating about their sense of justice, which suffocated me. 

The thought squeezed my heart tight as I let out an inaudible sigh, putting up the defences around my heart. 

I didn't blame Wang Jie or my parents. 

I'm actually in no position to even complain about having Wang Jie as a younger brother by a few seconds because he was always the one who helped me when I fell. 

But on another note, he was also the one who stood in the spotlight. Wang Jie has the brains and the charms to talk while I tend to be more introverted and artistic, something my parents never seemed to understand. 

I let my hands fall to my sides as my cheeks had turned rosy, I tried to put up a tiny smile, but it looked so forced that I gave up. 

Once again, I recited my speech for this afternoon, reminding myself that they wanted to see Wang Jie, not me. 

No one had ever been interested in me, except for two people. 

Lily and Daytoy. 

"You spend all your time on him while you're only a mere toy to him, Wang Yibo!" I pushed my mother's icy voice out of my head, taking an unsteady breath as my heart thumped inside my ears. 

My hands unconsciously trembled a bit as I shook my head; she was wrong, and I would prove it someday. 

If only I had my phone. 

Daytoy. 

I pushed his name to the back of my mind, starting to pace around the room, feeling too confined. 

Nothing seemed to distract me as I took a deep breath, turning to the door as I threw it open without hesitation and walking into the long and empty of people hallway. 

I was midway walking through the hallway with the dining room as the destination in my mind when a lady suddenly appeared in front of me. 

She gave me a sweet smile, "good morning, Sir, I don't know if you have seen a male, about your height though he is a little shorter, handsome and expensive-looking?" The lady rambled, her cheeks turning red with every word as she just stopped. 

I stared at her, not knowing whether to respond or not as I racked my brain for signs to see if she might have been a wandering ghost since there was no one else in the hallway to give me that indication to whether I was the only person to see her or not.
