TSD DIARIES: Lucky One

Chapter 001

Running like a madman, avoiding obstacles as if they were transparent, she had been running from her chasers for some time now.
"Hei! Stop right there you little thief!"
She just smiled and tossed a grin over her shoulder, passing through a park and swiftly grabbing someone's oversized black hoodie and managing to hide herself into the crowd, waiting to cross the road. It was red light and there was single motorcycle among the cars, and that gave her an idea. Pulling the sweater over her own clothes, she managed to steal someone's leather gloves from nearby and manouvered herself to the guy on a motorcycle and hopped behind him.

As the light turned green, the girl had wrapped her arms around his waist and mumbled to him: "Drive. Don't panic. Make it seem natural."
Pressing her cheek against his warm back, she eyed the five men trying to find her from among the crowd, but unable to find her. She had been successful fooling them yet again.
"Where to?" The young man in front of her asked and she replied simply: "Gangnam."

---------------------------------------------------------
Dressed in simple jeans, sneakers, some band shirt and leather jacket, the black haired beauty was waiting for her sister to meet her in that cafeteria, which was close to their home and which they frequented. Nervously checking the time, she was on her third coffee and started to have the nagging feeling that something was wrong. It was time for Hye-Bin to finally come home already and maybe this time around it would actually happen. Their father was devastated to know that one of his heirs was out and about, doing whatever they wanted and not giving a damn about their family company and heritage.

Hye-Bin and So-Mi were adopted, sisters of a businessman that had died in a car accident along with his wife and left behind a promise by one of his closest friends to adopt them and love them as if his own. Although their adoptive father had a son of his own, younger than the girls, he still took both of the girls as his rightful heiresses. Thus So-Mi had been working hard in their father'company, while the older sister Hye-Bin had left home five years ago, she sometimes showed her face to So-Mi, but never came home. However, it might have a chance for change soon enough.

Checking her phone again, So-Mi was getting more anxious than ever before. Wasn't Hye-Bin suppose to be in Europe? How was it that she was suddenly back? Was there something that was being not told and was kept from her by Hye-Bin and their father?

"Where are you?" A soft, yet irritated mumble under her breath.

----------------------------------------------------

"Stop there," she spoke and pointed at a small park nearby Gangnam.
As the motorcycle stopped, the female swiftly hopped off and saluted the guy, who had pulled off his helmet, and questioned her with angry stare.
"Thanks for saving my ass back there!" She simply spoke and grinned, dark brown strands of her bob-cut glued to her sweaty cheeks and forehead.
"Who the hell are you anyhow? What was that just now?"
"Hey... calm down, man. It is all good. If it wasn't for you, there would have been news in the morning for a body floating in Han River with a gunshot..."
Hia face had a shock on it and then he shook his head: "You are crazy, girl."
She laughed and nodded: "Is not the first time to hear that."
"But you will have to pay back to me for this, though. I missed an important meeting because of you!"
The girl rose her hand and waved it in non-caring movement: "Meh. I don't care about that. Meetings can be redone and rescheduled, while one's life can't. You'll get over it, baby."

With a wink, she turned around and started to head towards the cafeteria beyond the park and across the street nearby.
"Tell me your name at least! I want to know whom to blame!"
She turned around and pressed index finger on her pink lips. Hell no she was going to let him know of whom she was. They wouldn't have met anymore anyhow, although she felt it differently, but put the feeling aside.
That young man was about to call after her again, but answered to his phone instead: "Junmyeon, I am sorry. A reason? Something strange just happened to me... Yes, I will come to the office right now. Yes, hyung."
Shaking his head, the man pulled his helmet on and drove off, passing a girl with same blue eyes as before, but her long hair were blonde and instead of a hoodie, there was a tight, long sleeved shirt on.

Hye-Bin had managed to hide herself from his view, eliminate the stolen hoodie, wig and dark brown contact lenses and get rid of them in the park. As she had exited, someone else picked up the things she had left behind. It was all going according to the plan.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"HYE-BIN!"
So-Mi had stood up from her table as the blondie walked into the cafeteria, but instead of the smiles, she was greeted with anger and disappointment.
"Jeez," the older sibling spoke, "sit your ass down and calm down."

So-Mi finally sat and started to raise her hand to call for the server, but Hye-Bin stopped her quickly: "I won't stay for long. I just came to see you quickly."
Disappointed, her sister placed the hand back on table and then asked: "How long have you been back?"
A shrug. "About three weeks."
"But you contacted me just now. Why?"
"That is a reason I can't tell you right now. Be patient. I will tell you soon."
A question in light blue eyes just like her own.
"Look, I understand you are disappointed, angry and probably feel betrayed, but I have my own reasons."
"So..."
"Yes, So-Mi?"
"Are you going to come back home now? Omma is sick, you know... your absence..."
"Yes, I will be coming back home and I know... Soo has pestered me more than you."
"Are you going to come back with me?"
"Right now? Nah... I will have to go and see our father first. Why aren't you at the company anyhow?"
"I have my own reasons, just like you have yours."
"Fine," Hye-Bin checked her phone and nodded, "see you later tonight. Let's have a drink or two. Bring KiKi, I shall find Minji."
"What about mom?"
"Don't worry about it. I will meet with her in the morning. After all... she should be more worried about you than me. You are her real daughter after all."
Ending their meeting with harsh truth, she stood up, winked and left the cafeteria to catch a cab, leaving shocked So-Mi staring into her own reflection on opposite wall, shocked by the fact that Hye-Bin knew about this. How long had she known?
