PLUTO English Translation

01 (MAY)

Before the accident, Aobe Aum and I secretly talked in the bathroom about Aobe Aum's ex, May. Aobe Aum wanted me to break up with her ex in her place. I didn't get many details because my younger twin didn't have the time to give me any, as she had to go to her wedding ceremony according to the auspicious time. So, the only thing I got was the name, without any other information.

Right now, I have Aobe Aum's mobile phone in my hand. The screen has a picture of my twin, who looks exactly like me but has a different hairstyle. I've had the phone in my possession for an hour, but because I'm on the fence about whether or not I should help my twin, I haven't looked up any information... What should I do?...

I've never been good to my younger twin because our parents always compare us, and it's like how others see us, Aobe Aum is better than me in every way. If you've watched the series 'Shadow, the mother and father have different favourites because each stands out differently. But for me, aside from a beautiful face, I have nothing. I'm like the black hole in this family... Yes... even if we are visually identical, there are startlingly large gaps in our beauty.

Maybe it's because when we were younger, Aobe Aum studied hard while I, who am not good at school, learned how to take good care of myself and have only my looks as my strength. Everyone at school would call us the 'polar opposite twins. I have more aura, while Aobe Aum was quite tan and wore eyeglasses. But when we grew up, my younger twin realized that... if we look alike, why can't she be beautiful too? So Aobe Aum started to take care of herself. And when she became beautiful, in addition to having a big brain, she easily became an air hostess.

Furthermore, when she got a good job, she had money to buy good clothes. She looked better and got a new haircut. Her lead eventually widened because she was now both attractive and capable. As for me... I'm in the same place. I'm just beautiful, but I haven't done anything by myself.

In the end, I decided to open Aobe Aum's phone. Because we look the same, the face recognition allowed me to open it easily. It's such an expensive yet dumb phone. The first thing I look for is my younger twin's best friend's number. It's typical to have a best friend with whom you can share your dirty laundry. And 'Jan', who's been Aobe Aum's friend since junior high school, is my first target.

[How's it, Aum? Why are you calling me so early in the morning after your wedding night? Aren't you tired?]

"This is Ai, not Aum."

[Oh? But this is Aum's number.)

"She's not free, so she asked me to call you for her."

The other end of the line goes quiet, not quite believing what she was told. Well... Aum's best friend knows the relationship between the owner of this phone and me. So, there's no way she believes what I just told her.

"Fine... Aum didn't tell me to call you. I wanted to call you myself. I have something to ask you."

[Why do you have to talk to me in Aum's place? It's really weird.]

"Aum was in a car accident."

[Don't...]

"Don't be annoying! I'll make it quick. Aum asked me to break up with her ex May, for her. Tell me where I can find May."

When I get to this topic, Jan pauses to think and starts to believe that Aum was really in a car accident. The voice on the other end of the line sounds anxious. She starts to get hysterical. I bite back the urge to yell at her as I ask her to answer my question and stop rambling.

"Get a hold of yourself and tell me how I can get hold of May, so I can do what I have to and get it over with. Talk!"

[I went to her house once. It's around the Sathorn area...]
