Jihyo's POV

Where did manager Unnie went? Dahyun asked me.

She told she's just gonna buy a souvenir somewhere here. I said while scanning the place.

She's not answering her phone. Jeongyeon butts in.

Let's just wait for her before going to Café Kor. Nayeon said.

Meanwhile, their manager Unnie is walking in hurry in the crowded road when an incident caught her attention.

Manager Unnie's POV

Geez. Why this street suddenly got crowded the girls are waiting for me.

Oh! What's happening over there?

Yah! Why you bump me? Are you a thief?! A old man shouted to the little girl.

No. I'm just searching for my sister. I lost her. I'm so sorry Mister for bumping you.

No! You are lying. That's what you thieves use to say! The old man yelled making the little girl flinched.

I'm telling the truth Sir. I just want to find my sister. The little girl reasoned out  as her tears start to form on her eyes.

Tsk! I said stop ly- the old man raise her hand to hurt the kid but luckily someone wearing a hoodie block him.

What do you think you're doing?! The long pretty lady angrily asked the old man while checking the little girl if she's okay.

Who are you?! That girl is a thief!  He yelled.

Thief? She's my sister. She said while caressing the little girl head.

Your what?! The old man asked in surprise.

She's her sister. Gotta problem?! The hoodie girl said still holding the hand of the old man.

That voice.. that familiar voice..

The old man forcefully pulled his hand out of the girls hold. The girl in hoodie sighs and face the little girl and pretty lady.

How is she? She worriedly asked.

My body trembles and froze as I saw her face. The face we miss so much and the voice I want to hear two years ago. What the actual fuck is happening here. Am I hallucinating?! What's wrong with me?!

She's fine. I think we should help her out. The pretty lady said.

Sure. Let's go. She calmly said while extending her hand to hold the little girl.

No! I think I'm not. I should take a photo. I'll ask someone to confirm. I hurriedly got my phone in my pocket. I saw missed calls from Jeong in my screen. I shrug it off. Luckily, I took one photo before they walk away from the scene. I intensely look at the photo and holding my tears anytime ready to fall.

Unnie! I heard someone called me.

I look around and saw the girl walking towards me. I wipe the tears forming in my eyes as I face them.

Are you okay? You look pale? Mina asked me in concern.

Something happened? Nayeon asked.

I can't utter any words because I'm still shock to what I just saw. I know she's dead but who's the girl I just saw. I look around to find where they are but I can't see them anymore.

Unnie? Jihyo worriedly asked me.

I tried to compose myself but deep inside I'm still processing what I happened to saw and my knees are shaking.

I-Im fine. Where are the others? I asked.

Oh! They are already in the Cafe. They are waiting for us. Dahyun replied.

I see. I said while scanning the place.

Are you sure okay? You're shaking. Mina asked eyeing me from head to toe.

Yeah! It's just I run fast. I lied. I need to see Momo as soon as possible.

Are you searching for someone? Jihyo asked me.

No. Let's go. I said.

All them nodded.

Café Kor
Momo's POV

After thirty minutes, the other members and manager Unnie already arrived in the Cafe. Guess what?! All of us are thinking the same! They also commented that the place suits Chaeyoung's taste. By the way, we ate a lot because the food taste good except for Manager Unnie who's been looking at me time to time. I don't know what's happening to her but she's suspicious same to the girls I saw earlier. I thought they already left the Cafe. And, there are only two of them.

Momo Unnie.. Tzuyu called in whisper.

Yes? I asked her.

Do you know those two? They kept looking in our direction. She worriedly said.

As expected to our observant Tzu.

No. Don't worry. I think they are harmless. I reasoned out.

Tzu just nodded and continue to eat her food.

The girls are busy chatting with each other planning where to go next when I felt someone tap my shoulder.

Wanna go in restroom? Manager Unnie asked me.

She's acting weird.

Ok-ay. I said then stand up. She's walking ahead of me and I can sense she's tense.

Momo. She called me.

Yes Unnie. Any problem? You look so tense. I said as check on her.

I- I'm fine. It's just. She stuttered.

What is it? I worriedly asked her.

She took her phone out of her pocket and show me a photo.

Chaeyoungie?! I asked her. She suddenly drop her phone and cry making me startled.

You're acting weird! I exclaimed.

Unnie? What's happening? Why are your crying? What's wrong? It's Chaeyoungie! I pick up her phone then look at the photo again. I'm sure it's Chae- I stop and look at her. No way!! My hands starts to shake as I try to find the details of the photo. I gasped and drop the phone as I saw that the photo was taken today! It's fucking today?!  My knees felt weak and my breathing began to be unstable. I tried my best to get my breathing normal.

How?! Where?! Who the hell is that?! I started asking her.

I don't know. I just saw that person before meeting the girls. I thought I'm just hallucinating. That's why I took photo. Unnie explained while wiping her tears.

You know wh--at shocked me the most?! They have the same voice... Unnie added.

How about the tattoos?! I curiously asked her.

She's wearing a hoodie. Unnie said.

Ugh! Who is she?! Does Chaeyoung have a twin sister? I asked Unnie.

I-I'm not sure. As far as I know, she's an only child but- knowing her family background. There's a chance. It's possible. Unnie said as she tries to compose herself.

The rest room door suddenly opened. I and Unnie look who's coming inside.

Yah! We've been waiting for you two. Let's go but let me pee first.  Nayeon said then went inside the empty cubicle.

Don't tell yet to others especially Mina. Let me know this person first. Unnie whispered then left the room.
