It's been 10 years and I am is still having the same dream over and over. 3 children, 1 girl and 2 boys are playing in the swing, then after a few seconds these 3 children are crying in a room filled with blood. Unconscious adults, but faces are unclear. **Alarm ringing**. 

In Ha wake up! Wake up we will be late. I heard In Ho's voice and woke up. I felt that my dream was so vivid and felt something throbbing in my chest but I cannot figure it out. I never told my dreams to In Ho, after telling him about this 5 years ago, he got mad at me so I swore not to tell him that I am still having the same dreams. 

I finished preparing and I am already in my school uniform and ready to eat so when I went down to eat breakfast, our father brought the cake from the fridge and lit the 2 candles and sang Happy birthday to In Ho and me Then I realized it's our 18th birthday and our last semester in High school. In Ho and I went to school and agreed to meet after school to go to our mother's grave for a quick visit. It has been our tradition to visit her every important occasions. We never got the chance to know her since she died when we were 3 years old.

When I got to our classroom and wen to my chair to seat I saw my friends' surprise gift for me which is a scrapbook and the first page says " August 25th is In Ha the Psychic's day" it was our inside joke actually my friends started calling me a Psychic because of some events that happened last summer. It was around June of 2008 when I started getting all these voices in my head like people are talking to me, it felt insane but I got migraines most of the time, my nose bled one time because I keep hearing voices, voices that as if they never wanted people to find out but I know their thoughts. I told my friends about it and they tried it and I was able to prove them right when I guessed their thoughts correctly. 

This is one of the secrets I kept to myself as well. I never told anyone in my family about this psychic thing because I have heard something from my father's thoughts. Something that should never be told. I have read his mind saying these lines "I am so sorry Fred for what happened, but I will make it up to you by being a real father to In Ha. I will make sure all your sacrifices will be of a good cause" He was holding this picture frame while thinking about those thoughts. I never knew what he meant though. But these words keep replaying on my mind "REAL FATHER". **bell buzzing**

Just like that the 1st day of my last year in school is done. In Ho and I was supposed to meet up but he is an hour late. He looks tired but well I didn't mind. He always love running in the soccer field anyway so maybe he just finished playing with his friends. I was supposed to get mad at him but I just brushed it off I didn't want my day to get ruined. So we went to our mother's grave and prayed, we gave her, her favorite bouquet of white rose and while praying I accidentally heard his thoughts "I wanted to tell her everything I know mom, but dad asked me not to, I don't want her to hate me. I love her so much that it will break my heart if she starts hating me" I thought it was for me but then a second thought maybe not. I just ignored it, it so rude of me to listen to all of this anyway.

It was around 8 pm when we got home. Mr. Park, our father's driver of 25 years was there and he just resigned. Well that was our father's official statement anyway but I read Mr. Park's thoughts saying " You should have told her already, I promised even if you fire me, I will make sure to tell her soon about who she is, and what you have done to her and  Watanabe's family." The tension in the room is so serious that I cannot catch my breath, this is the first time I saw my father so angry, maybe because he had to fire Mr. Park for whatever reason I don't understand. I went out and Mr. Park is still there still packing his stuff, he told me to be careful of everyone around me and don't trust people too much. He told me to remember every training we did behind my father's back. He hugged me and said his goodbyes. Then I read his mind "You will know your ability soon enough and you should discover your own roots, you should know that you have your family out there waiting for you to acknowledge them as your own. Be careful now, once your power is fully developed please use it in a good use, don't use it for power. Know your true roots."

I went straight in to my bedroom. I skipped dinner. What Mr. Park said keeps bugging in my head. I tried to remember everything I accidentally heard and the puzzles fit. I am someone not related to this family. I should have know when I look nothing like In ho or any of the Kim's. I am not my twin brother's sister and I am not my father's daughter because I am adopted.
