SHE

Who had fair and glowing skin... Thick, long, and shiny black wavy hair... A pair of aqua-colored, sparkling eyes. And the one who'd been loved by elders, admired by children, and the pride of the family.

SHE is my sister...

My sister, who had everything that I don't, who got all that I want and received all that I've longed for.

I hate her, but I want to be like her.

Despite being a boy, I strived to be an equal to her. I've grown my hair and taken good care of my skin. I achieved the perfect replica of her.

But just being only a copycat has never been enough.
I lived as a living picture of her image and became the scenery of my family who misses her. I'm still not equal.

Then one day, no one saw it coming...

A circumstance occurred that twisted the cycle of our world which I did not expect would change everything that we used to and opened the door to the next chapter of my bittersweet life.

The circumstance that crossed my path to the girl I never thought would play a huge part in my life...

That one girl who spoiled me with attention and filled my empty existence with genuine affection.

But... In just a blink of an eye, death took her from me.

Her sudden death caused dubiety to all of us...

Suicidal? No... Someone surely murdered her...


But... Our only question is...
.
.
.
Who?

Bittersweet Life

She didn't hesitate to answer her call. "Heidi. What is it?"


[I'll explain it to you later, just now. Listen to me. I'm coming over, wait for me.]


Summer clenched her fist and then her tears streamed from the corners of her eyes. "Heidi. Did Reign do it?"


Heidi's line became quiet for a moment. From that silence, Summer didn't need to wait for her answer as she already knew what it was.


Now, instead of the headache, she felt agony and tightening on her chest. Her mind became blank— sobs slowly escaped from her mouth.


Summer slumped on the floor as she whimpered. She couldn't utter a single word while gripping her phone down.


That night she left, she was certain that she felt uneasy but, she ignored it. If... If she ceased her, would she still be alive? If only she listened to her instincts, would she be able to save her?
