The Lost Twin
Description
Kwon Ji Hae grew up believing she was an only child. She played alone at the park, played video games on her own and found bliss watching her best friend Soo Jin, pull and tug at her younger brother's arms. SHe too, wished she had a sister or brother she could argue and fight with over petty things. It was certainly better than being lonely, or having a room full of toys with no one to share with or left at home alone for hours when her parents went to work. There was no way they could have afforded a babysitter back then, not when her father had just started out his business.
Now, things were different. Mr Kwon's business blossomed into success and Ji Hae finally got the one thing she had been wishing for her whole life, a sister - a twin to be precise.
But will the return of her lost sister be everything Ji Hae expected her to be? Especially when the lost twin is back to seek revenge.
Foreword
A pale looking girl stood on the steps of their home one stormy night, hair dripping wet and clothes drenched from the pouring rain. She was shivering, her teeth were chattering and she could barely maintain her balance. Yet no one dared approach her.
Slowly, the girl lifted her head and parted her chapped lips.
“Mom…”she whispered with tears in her eyes. A small gasp escaped Mrs Kwon’s lips as their eyes met. Mr Kwon took a step back as the girl’s features came into light, startled by her striking resemblance to his own daughter.
Ji Hae grabbed her father’s arm. “Who is she? Why did she call my mother, mom?” she asked her father, confused by the girl’s sudden addressing.
Silence reigned.
“Omo, saesanghae” Mrs Kwon’s voice broke the stillness. “You - you’re alive? Hee Joo is that you?” her voice was shaky, broken almost. The young girl gave a small nod, confirming that she was indeed Hee Joo. Clasping a hand over , Mrs Kwon ran over and enveloped the young girl in a tight hug. “Yeobo, hurry up and open the door or our Hee Joo is going to catch a cold".
“Our Hee Joo?” Ji Hae’s voice broke out.
Mrs Kwon turned around and smiled. “Yes, Ji Hae. She’s your sister. You have a twin sister.”
