?IDENTICAL?
(Kind, cr@zy & cold-hearted)
Episode 25
By: Faith Lucky.
Rebecca’s Pov:
“Rebecca?” She called in shock and I felt my head spinning.
“K…Kira?” I also called in shock.
“Wow” she smiled a little
“Tell me this is a dream. Is this you? I never thought I’d be seeing you anytime soon”
“Yeah – and you look good yourself” I said, trying to sound warmly.
“Hm. So, how’s the family? I mean, the last I heard…you were married to Mr Gabriel…with a son” she said and I forced a smile.
“Well, yeah..I’m married and living happily. And you? Have you settled down as well?”,
“Of course”
“Oh! That’s great news. Well, its really nice getting to see you again, Rebecca. I…need to be on my way now. I hope we get to meet again” I smiled and started walking away.
“You didn’t even attend my brother’s burial” she gripped my attention and I turned to look at her.
For a second, I was speechless.
“Something came up…I’m sorry” I chewed my words
“You shouldn’t be apologizing to me. I’m not the corpse” she grinned and I stared at speechlessly for a while and finally walked away.

I got into my car and slammed the door hard as I got into the driver’s seat.
D@mn it!! What the f**k is she doing here? I thought she was in America??
And of all the places in Korea, why did she have to return to Seoul?
I hit my head on the sterling again. It was damn so frustrating! She might end up ruining things for me – something I’ve tried to build up my entire life.
No; I won’t let that happen. I won’t let her intrude. No matter what its gonna take, I’ll make sure she doesn’t ruin my life.

Kim nana (Cr@zy)
I groaned on the floor where I sat.
Aigo! My back was hurting a lot and my tied hands couldn’t help.
It was so h0rrible.
“I’m tasty” I mumbled with no one in the room.
“I’m tasty!!” I tried speaking a little louder, wishing someone would hear me from outside.
Immediately, the door opened and the grumpy walked in with three boys.
Oh, yes. More sh*t.
“You’re tasty?” He smirked and pulled my hair.
“Hey! Will you let me go!! I’ll kill you, I swear!” I queried.
“You’ll kill me?” He laughed.
“Well, I’m not surprise, Mi cha. That’s what you’ve always been – a murderer.”
I arched my brows in confusion.
Who’s Mi cha? And why do I have a feeling they’re mistaken me for someone Else?
“Anyway” he continued and stood up.
“I was thinking you’d want to say hi to your little boyfriend”.
I watched in awe as he brought out his phone and made a call.
I couldn’t tell what was going on but it seemed the person he was calling picked.
“Josh!!” He laughed on the phone, revealing his ugly teeth.
“What’s up, man?
“Yeah – just a little surprise.
“Oh, right! Your little baby’s here with me
“Awwn. I think she’s missing you”
He paused and laughed, then brought the phone to.me.
“Come on, baby; say hi to him” he jeered but I didn’t say a word.
Then, he slapped me and I was forced to wince.
“Mi cha?” The receiver called on the phone and I looked at it.
“I’m not Mi cha” I wanted to say, but quickly stopped myself.
“H…Hello?” I stuttered instead.
What the hell is this? What’s going on? Why am I in a mess that I know nothing about?
“Okay…I think that’ll be all for now” the grumpy man stood up and said.
He continued talking on the phone with the guy while I bent my head in anger and depression.
Finally, he ended the call and he turned to me, smiling.
“Get ready, pumpkin. You’ll be going to see your boy friend tomorrow morning. But the problem is…I’m not so sure both of you will stay alive” he smirked and walked away.

Mi cha (Cold-hearted)
“So, how do we get in?” Jeremy asked as we stood a little distance from the building.
I leaned on the car and stared intently at the big building.
“They’re armed guards all over” I told him, my eyes fixed on the building.
“It’ll be very difficult getting in. I’ll easily be spotted.”
“So…what do we do?” He asked and I cogitated.
“I’ll need to make the move tomorrow. I’ll disguise myself as a cleaner and that way, it’ll give me easy access to look for Kim” I told him.
“Okay…tomorrow morning?”
“Yeah”.
I just hope I won’t be too late by then.
That b@stard. I should’ve killed him when I had the chance.
“Um…So, what about you?” Jeremy asked and I looked at him as the thought also hit at me.
I couldn’t go back to the institute. Its possible that b@stard has already told them I’ve been kidnapped.
“I don’t know” I replied and took my eyes back to the building.
“Kim’s parents would be worried about her. If she doesn’t go home tonight, they’d have to alarm the police and according to you, things might go wrong, right?” He asked and I nodded.
“I…I think you’d have to come home as Kim” he said and my eyes beamed.
What?
I snapped and looked at him immediately.
“Yes. I mean, its just for tonight. First thing in the morning, you’ll set out on your mission to rescue Kim, but for now, you need to act like her. If she doesn’t come home, her dad will definitely alert the police”.
I stared at him for a while before taking my eyes to the floor.
The idea rang in my head. He was right; if Kim didn’t go home, her parents might have to involve the police.
But, going home as her…was it something I was ready to do?
“Please, its getting late. We need to arrive at a decision”, he broke into my thoughts and I looked at him.
So far…I guess I might have to agree.

Kim ji (Kind)
“Yes – over there” I directed with my finger as Koraine got closer to my house
Finally, he parked at the desired spot.
“Right!” He muttered and turned off the ignition.
Hah! At last.
“Thank you” I beamed.l and he smiled.
“You’re welcome. Make sure you’re early enough tomorrow so you can make us another nice meal”
“Of course…I’ll be on my way now. Goodnight”.
“Yeah – bye”
And I left the car.
I stood and watched him drive away before proceeding to the house and uncannily, a smile escaped my lips.
I opened the door and walked into the sitting room and there I met mum.
“Hi mum” I smiled and ran into her arms.
“Ahh. You stayed too long, Kim. You got me a little worried. What happened?” She asked with her hands on my waist.
“I’m sorry, but it was difficult getting a cab” I replied.
“Hm. So, you’re really working as a cook, huh? How was it?”
“Oh! It was excellent, mother”.
She looked at me and shook her head.
“Anyway, dinner’s set already. Hurry up and shower so we can eat” she said and started walking away.
“Okay mother” I replied happily and headed for my room.
When I passed through the dining, my eyes caught with mum’s phone on the table and I stopped to look at it
Kim!
I needed to call her. I couldn’t tell, but I just had a strange feeling.
Immediately, I grabbed the phone and walked away to my room.
As soon as I got in, I dropped my bag on the bed and dialed Kim’s line. I just hope everything’s fine and going as planned.
I called her line but it was switched off
Huh?
I tried it again but the same thing happened – it was switched off. Why’s her phone down? What’s wrong?
I tried it again, but there was no difference.
Then, I decided to call Gyeong if she’d have any idea at all.
Luckily, Gyeong picked up.
?Hello?
She called blearily on the phone.
?Hey! Gyeong, its me – it’s Kim ji
I told her and her voice brightened up.
?K…Kim?
?Y…Yes. Please, don’t try calling back. Its my mum’s line. I…I just wanna ask about my sister – Kim nana. I’ve been trying to reach her but it’s switched off and I’m worried. Would you have any idea about it?
Immediately, the door flung open and I turned in shock to see it was mum.
“Kim!” She called, almost screaming.
The phone dropped my ear.
“Who’re you speaking with? Who’s your sister? And…what do you mean Kim nana?” She asked in an alarming tone, her eyes almost bulging out.
Oh my God!
No!
