The Twins' Twisted Fate

Suspicions Arising

Eunji nodded as she peered at him with teary eyes, more than glad to feel that his heartbeat eased his worries. "Come here, Jagi." Jae beamed as he opened his arms, he grinned proudly when she jumped into his arms. As Jae's arms tightened around her, she released the breath that she didn't know she had been holding. His arms just provided her that much comfort.

"I missed the way your arms felt around me," Eunji confessed, her face buried in his broad chest. However, this hug differed from the hugs Jin used to share with her, Jae pecked her head and rested his hands on her shoulder while Jin would sneakily steal a kiss and leave his hands to rest on her waist.

'His body feels different...' She mused to herself as she wrapped her arms around him, Jin's shoulders were definitely much broader and wider when he left. Eunji contemplated questioning him but she was afraid of finding out the truth, along with that, his quiet sigh of pleasure with her figure in his arms weakened her.

Jae knew he was risking her hatred towards him for the deceit, but in the end, his heart decided for him that even just a little time for him to have her to himself was worth the risk. He didn't know, however, that Eunji had begun to hold suspicions of his identity.

Suspicious as to whether he's the Jin that she fell in love with or that he was a completely different person. "Come on, let's get to bed." Eunji urged as he smiled and walked to their shared bedroom, hand in hand. She couldn't just drop her skepticism but she also couldn't bring herself to question who the man holding her hand truly was. However, she was scared of no longer having a nightmare about Jin, what was it supposed to signify?

Jae's slight hesitance to hold her only added to her suspicions, as they slept facing each other. Eunji instinctively reached out and interlocked their fingers as she slept. Jae admired her peaceful state until sleep made itself known, however, right then his phone rang for a call from an unknown number.

Jae slipped out of the bedroom swiftly and silently to answer the phone, annoyance, and anger filled him up along the way. "Hello?" He whispered, his eyebrows furrowed when the person began to speak. "I know what you did in New York. So sad that your brother couldn't make it back to see his girlfriend, oh wait, they broke up! Silly me."

Jae's fists clenched as he cleared his throat to answer the mysterious caller. "Who is this? Answer me this instant or we could just go straight to the police!" Jae threatened as the other person laughed mockingly. "You want to send me to jail, Hyung?" The person challenged, further fueling Jae's anger as he gripped the phone tightly.

"Don't fucking joke around about my brother. He's dead!" Jae snapped loudly and carelessly, as soon as the sentence spilled out, he clamped a hand over his mouth, hoping Eunji hadn't heard a word. "Dead? Are you sure?" The nerve to question Jin's death led to the trail of tears down Jae's cheeks, as he cracked. "What do you want?!" Jae breathed shakily as he hurriedly swiped at his tears, he couldn't show his weak side to this cruel stranger.

"I want to take back what's rightfully mines! My degree, my job, my girlfriend, my house, and my damn life!" How could this person have the heart to act like he's Jin when he knows fully well that Jin had passed away. "You can't be Jin" Jae muttered adamantly as the other person chuckled bitterly. "You're living an awfully good life in my shadow, I see. Even my girlfriend ran into your arms, I should've known from long ago how you felt about her."

Was this person really Jin? How else could he perfectly describe the feelings and the situation? But Jae had witnessed his brother's accident and cried over his corpse!

Meanwhile, Eunji tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep without the body heat that Jae's body provided and his phone conversation had kept her up. "Who is he talking to so loudly on the phone?" She murmured to herself, whilst creeping out to take a peek at what Jae was doing.

She ended up eavesdropping on Jae's conversation with the mystery person. "Jin?" She mouthed to herself, why would he address someone else as Jin? Isn't he Jin, her boyfriend that she had been dating for years? "If he isn't Jin, then who is he?" She murmured silently, the thoughts that rose terrified her.

Sleep was impossible after the conversation that she inevitably listened in on last night. 'I must find out who he is.' Eunji thought, determined although she was also horrified. Who knew what the man that shared a bed with her last night had done before coming back to Korea?

She waited until Jae had gone to take a shower before she checked his phone for the number that called him last night. "This is such a weird number? Is it from New York?" She mumbled to herself but jotted down the number to check later. 'I can't do much else.' She thought in despair when suddenly a light bulb switched on in her head.

She pulled up Jin's profile on FB as she scrolled through his friend list and her jaw dropped. "Kim Seokjae" The picture was eerily similar to the man that called her through FaceTime, all this time, she had believed he was Jin. After some investigation on Jae's profile, she gathered enough info to conclude that Jae was Jin's infamous twin brother.

Only one question remained, why was he here with Eunji instead of Jin and why is he pretending to be Jin?
