Chasing the spotlight
Nyongtory: Oneshot"Seungri, do you want to go watch some movies?" he asked me as he wrapped his left arm around my waist. I nodded and smiled at him. He looked at me and smiled back. "Shall we buy ourselves some snack first before we watch the movie?" "Sure, Jiyong. I would love to."
My name is Lee Seungji. Everyone calls me Seungri. Even my boyfriend calls me Seungri, not Seungji. But, I'm not Seungri. But I do look like Seungri. We're alike. Don't confuse yourself. Seungri is me. And I am Seungri. I am not his doppelganger or an imposter. I am his identical twin. Our hobby was the same, reading novels. Our favourite foods were ice-cream strawberry and fries. We love playing video games. We love Ironman. We are the same. The only difference between us was I had a small mole at the corner of my lip and I'm a shy boy unlike Seungri who was very talkative and social.
Except that my family loves Seungri a lot. Me? My parents hate me. They dislike me. What made me saying that? I will tell you. They treasured Seungri like he’s a gold or a rare diamond. But me? They never love me. They never treat me like the way they treated him. It's unfair, right? Seungri was a famous guy. Famous in school. Had a lot of friends. Teachers' pet. My parents adored him so much. What's so special about him? What about me? I am him, too.
When we were 5, our parents threw a birthday party for us both. But it looks like the party was meant for Seungri only. My dad hung up a birthday banner that says, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEUNGRI!!!! and Seungji”. When the party started, everyone was having so much fun! Even Jiyong was there, too. Playing with Seungri and gave him a huge birthday present. But me? I was sulking in my room, crying all alone. Not even my dad, my mom or my twin brother invited me to join them.
By the time we were 16, Seungri always getting good results. He always getting praised by teachers, friends and our parents. He was always good at sports. Especially in badminton. He never failed winning a medal. He always brought 5 or 7 medals back home, showing to my parents and they will tell all about Seungri’s achievement to our neighbours, relatives, grandparent yada yada yada. Me? I always got good grades too
