She knocked and slowly opened the door.  "Hello!" she bowed. "My name is...." her feet froze. Actually her whole body froze. Even the four boys just stared at her. Silence filled the air for few seconds. She got back to her sense and acted professional. "Good afternoon.  My name is Shen Lu Tan. I will be your translator/ interpreter for tonight. So this is the question screened to be asked." She handed each boys a copy. "If you have any question please don't hesitate to ask before we go on air. This will be live coverage,"

The four boys scanned the paper and didn't say anything.

"I'll see you later," she bowed and left.

"Hyung," it was Jung Shin who got up first.

"It's... You're split image," Min Hyuk said.

"Jong Hyun-ah...did you see that?" Yong Hwa asked.

"oh..uhm.." Jong Hyun haven't recovered from the shock yet. "Was it only me? Am I dreaming?"

"Nope. I know. We all had the same reaction and so was her," Jung Shin said. "Hyung, she really looks like you,"

"I know. I know. I was like I was looking at the mirror except that she has the long hair." Jong Hyun said. "What did she say her name?"

"I didn't catch it," Jung Shin was disappointed.

"Me neither." Min Hyuk said.

"We'll ask her before we go on air." Yong Hwa said. "Let have a rest and freshen up later,"

 

She ran from the boys' hotel room to her suite. She was asked to be the band's translator since their resident translator went on an emergency leave. She wanted to reject it but she has no choice. The interview will be live and it is in her station. She cannot just cancel the interview, the station worked hard to find time for the band for an interview.

"Who the hell was that?" she was trembling and she don't know why. "It's like I'm looking in a mirror,"

She frantically her computer and browsed the internet. "CNBLUE. Lee Jong Hyun. Guitarist. Busan boy. Fluent in Japanese. And so on. "Okay. There's no connection," she breathed in relief. "But why do we look like each other?" She turned off her computer and prepared to leave. She has to go home and see her mother before her evening shift.

 

"Good evening. Did you have a good rest?" she greeted the four as they entered the waiting room.

"Ah, yes." Yong Hwa answered. "Ahm, we didn't catch your name earlier,"

"Shen Lu Tan," she answered. "So, have you reviewed the questions?"

Yong Hwa nodded. "What if someone asks unscreened questions,"

"It's up to you to answer. Is there something on my face?" she turned to the 3 guys who were quiet.

They snapped back.

"Oh.. nothing," Jung Shin waved his hand. "It's that you and Jong Hyun Hyung are very much alike."

"I realized that earlier but there's no connection. Trust me," she was confident on her answer.

"You look like twins," Min Hyuk commented.

"You're on in 2 mins," Shen Lu said as she glanced at her watch.

The interview went smoothly. There were just few question that Shen Lu herself had to glare at the production team. As always, Yong Hwa handled it perfectly.

Shen Lu thanked the boys and bid goodbye. "Good luck,"

"Well, hope to see you again," Yong Hwa winked at her.

"Why not? I'll always be in Singapore," she flirted back.

 

Jong Hyun was all disturbed with the girl that looks exactly like him. He flew all the way to Busan and talked to his parents if there is a possibility of her being his twins or sibling.

His father sighed. "When we moved to Japan, your mom was pregnant. I don't know if you can still remember. Your younger sister was born in Japan. You and your mom were at the mall when an earthquake occurred. It was chaos. People were all running. Your mom was holding the stroller but with all the people running, the stroller was bumped."

"I just turned around to look for you and grabbed you by hand. When I checked the stroller your sister's gone. We reported it to the police but there was no result. Months. years passed by. We gave up. We just prayed that she was taken and raised by nice people,"

"I think I found her," Jong Hyun blurted.

"What?" his mom grabbed his shoulder. "Honey... where is.. how.." his mom started crying. Jong Hyun ran down the incident with the girl they met in Singapore. "I just have to confirm. I am going back and do everything I can to find out if she's my lost sister,"

His mom won't stop crying. "Is she doing well?"

"She is. She speaks korean fluently. I don't know why." Jong Hyun answered.

"Please, son. Find out." his mom turned to his dad and clung to him.

"I will. Come to Seoul once in a while. I really miss you. Shiro and Tan miss you too,"

"We will," his dad promised.

 

Shen Lu Tan. Her mom is a half chinese, quarter Japanese and quarter korean. His father, she never had an idea. Her mom said it's the best not to know. She studied mandarin, English, Japanese, Korean and French as insisted by her moth
