Seoyoon's POV

"Oh nothing. I just wanted to tell you what really is going on here." She fakely smiled and took a step back away from me.
She leaned against the wall and started fiddling with her nails.

"I mean, you've been around for 3 years now and I cant believe no one has told you who you really are." She faked hurt.

"How does it feel anyway? To live as someone else?" She continued to ask.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, holding my tears back.

"Come on now Seoyoon. You're smarter than this. Take the hint." She chuckled.

"You know what? Let me help you. Im guessing you saw the tombstone with your name on it, right?" She asked.

"That wasnt me. It was someone I just look-"

"Looked like?" She interrupted and let out a laugh.

"Seoyoon do you seriously allow yourself to believe that? How can someone look so identical? A tombstone with your name and birth date on it? The day of your accident was also that seoyoon's death? Concidence or not?"

"Why do you think everyone reacted so weirdly when they all saw you? I mean who wouldnt react that way when the person you thought was dead is right infront of you." She chuckled.

I stood there frozen, hurt, confused with tears continuously falling.

"Dont be fucking stupid and take the damn hint!Dont you see it? People are playing you, they're all lying to you. Your family, your friends, Even JIHOON." She yelled.

"Stop.." I weakly said.

"I bet your father never told you that you're mom is still alive and well, huh?" She smirked again.

My..mom?...
I have a mom?

"I guess he didnt. There's so much more you dont know Seoyoon. So if I were you, i'd go back home and start finding things out." She said, her smile fading and all I could see was hate in her eyes.

Why?
Why does she hate me so much?
Why is she saying all these things?
Why is she doing this to me?
What have I done wrong?
Why is this happening to me?

I felt so weak that I leaned against the wall, tears falling.
I couldnt speak, think or process what the hell is going on.
My heart was hurting.

"Seoyoon? Whats taking so-SEOYOON?!" Hyunjae worriedly called out as she saw me bawling my eyes out on the toilet floor.

"oh my god what happened to you ??" She asked with a terrified look on her face.

"I-I wanna go home..please.." I said in between sobs.

***

I didnt have the energy to drive so Hyunjae had no choice but to drive me home and decided that she'll just take the cab home.
I felt bad having to make her spend so much money but I didnt have energy to even say sorry.
I've calmed down right before we reached home but I wasnt okay.
After hearing everything Chaeyoung said, I started to put everything together and somehow put some sense to it.

How can I be so stupid to not notice all of the signs?
Everyone was just somehow so connected to eachother.

As I reached home, the first thing I did was barge in my fathers room.
I know he has something to prove that I am that Seoyoon.
That i've been living in a lie all these years.
I noticed a box that was placed underneath his bed and quickly took it out and began searching through it.

It was nothing but papers and reciepts.
But I didnt give up.
I searched and searched until I found something.

Certificate of death.
Name of deceased: Kim Seoyoon.
Date and hour of death: 8:00 p.m May 24, 2020

I couldnt believe what I was reading.
Chaeyoung was right.
Everyone was lying to me.
Everyone played with me.
My own family.
My own family..killed me.
Tears aggressively fell as I held on the paper tight.
My heart, my head, my stomache, everything was in pain.
Emotionally, physically and mentally.
I was loss for words.
I felt so betrayed.
So angry.

"Seoyoon.." The person that I now started to hate appeared right infront of me.

"Why?" was all I said and held up the paper right in his face.

"Seoyoon..I did it for you." Everyone else began appearing behind my dad with a guilty and regretful look on their faces.

"You all lied to me! How can you do this?!" I angrily yelled out and tore the death certificate apart before throwing it on the ground.

"How can you kill your own daughter?! How can you make me live like this?!" I sobbed harder.

"Seoyoon im sorry." My dad apologized, crying as he took a step towards me.

"Dont touch me!" I pushed him away.
Just then, my head began hurting so much.
It was much worse than the ones I used to have.
I was yelling and crying in pain.
But no matter how much I screamed, I couldnt seem to hear a thing.
It was a pain full of memories.
The memories that I needed to get back.
