09❄️ BELIEVING THE REALITY

"Why did you show your face all of sudden?"

"Why don't you get lost to where you were?"

"Get lost Hayoon"

"You are ruining my life. Get lost"

"No! I'm n-not. Plea..se hear me out one last time."

"I'm begging you!"

"Shh- Hayoon it's alright, girl. Get up! It's a nightmare you are seeing. Wake up, girl!" As Areum wakes her up, Hayoon opened her eyes. She was sweating as she swam in a pool. "Oh my god girl you are sweating as hell. C'mon drink this" Areum fetched her a glass of water. She drank the whole glass in one second. "Was it him again?" Asked Areum as she knows 'he' was the one who hunted her in her dreams always. Hayoon nodded no to her making Areum confusingly look at her.

"Then?"

"That sound was unfamiliar. Areum I'm scared"

"No one's going to hurt you, alright?" She hugged her. Hayoon felt safe and happy to have her.

After she arrived back at the apartment she continuously call her mother. She was sitting on the floor beside her bed. Her head is on the edge of the bed. She gave up calling her mom and threw away her phone. She was crying as much as she could. No one was there to comfort her. Yeh! That's what she wanted. Let go of all the pain she was hiding. Everything happened within a week. She felt like it was a nightmare that she wanted to face at the same time not. She was staring at the ceiling when she heard her phone ring. She immediately looked at the phone. As she was expecting it was her mom. "Oh my god! Skylar, what's happening? So many missed calls" her mom almost shouted in afraid.

"M-mom?"

"Yes, sweetheart!"

"Promise me to tell the truth"

"Sweetheart! What's gotten into you"

"Just promise me, mom!"

"Sure.. what's that?"

"D-do I ha-have a t-twin?

"H-how do-"

"How? How do I know?? That means it's true." She let her tears fall. "Sweeth-" she cut off her mom again. "Why? Why mom why? Why didn't you tell me? You know how much I suffered alone. You had to tell me before I see her. At least when we come here." She didn't want to stop but she took a break to breathe. "Sky! Mom is sorry sweetie. It's fault anyway." Even her mom didn't know what to tell. The secret that she was hiding for years was revealed. "Why mom why?? Is that why you didn't want us to come here? Is that why you wanted me to go back to the USA? Why mom?" Hayoon couldn't stop herself from crying. That scenario she was standing in front of her twin and the way she was looking at her emerged on the wall in front of her like a movie. "Yes!" That's the only thing her mom could tell. Hayoon declined the call and threw it away. her phone again. As she was staring at the ceiling she fell asleep until Areum woke her up.

"Where are you going?" Areum asked when she saw Hayoon was getting ready to go somewhere. "I have to go to the cafe. I still have left the evening shift." Hayoon answered. "Are you sure? I mean, you kno-" Hayoon cut off her. "Don't worry! I'll be fine. Nothing to worry about when I  have a friend like a mo- more than a mom" Hayoon smiled at her friend. "Don't say that girl. She's still your mother and there must be a reason to hide that. Don't hate her Hayoon" Areum said. "Whatever you say. Bye!" She left Areum alone.

"I can see someone's spacing out. What bothers you Hayoon?" Jaemin, one of her co-workers asked as he saw Hayoon was looking in the same direction for a long time. Actually, she was remembering every moment that she wished she had a sister in childhood. But now it turns out that she has a twin. A lost twin sister. "Oh! Nothing." She answered. "Jaemin, can you stay here for a while for me." She asked him and Jaemin hummed for a yes. She went to the staff restroom and washed her face to be refreshed.
