"Jeon Mirae.. she's right behind you" Myungsoo said
Chaeyoung then laughed out loud surprising him while Y/n kept a poker face as if she saw it coming
"Stop bullshiting me, Myungsoo. If Y/n is Jeon Mirae then I'm Irene Bae" Chaeyoung said, he grabbed his right ear
Y/n was right, Chaeyoung wouldn't believe his words
"Just tell me wherever the fuck she is so both of our lives will be at peace!" Chaeyoung pinches his ear
"Calm down, I found a way" Y/n said, Chaeyoung let go of him and looks at her
"He obviously doesn't know where she's hiding but he knows what she looks like. For both of your lives to be at peace, I suggest that you Kim to describe Jeon Mirae's facial features and you Chaeyoung to sketch it" Y/n said
If he would describe Jeon Mirae's facial features then it'll result to Moon Y/n. So why would she suggest that? It got Myungsoo confused, wondering what's going on in Y/n's mind
"As expected from you, Y/n. That is such a brilliant idea!" Chaeyoung happily said
"How come I didn't think of that?"
"You're an idiot" Y/n said to Chaeyoung
"My bad! I'll be back, I'll get my sketchbook in my room" Chaeyoung said and left the room leaving the two of them
"I know how Chaeyoung's brain works, everything will be alright as long as you do everything I say.. your sister will be safe. I knew she'd use your sister against yours so I planned ahead and took your sister out from Ryujin's sight" Y/n said
"And what you're gonna do, you'll say the opposite things from what I look like. She didn't believed you when you told her than I'm Jeon Mirae so you got no choice but to do this or things will get more complicated" Y/n added
"This is the safety you wanted to be guaranteed, now do your part" Y/n moved away from him
A little later, Chaeyoung comes back. She took a chair and sat in front of him
"So.. what does she look like?" Chaeyoung asked
He looks at Y/n, she gave him a nod to do what she told him earlier
"She doesn't have double eyelids.."
"Okay, what else?"
While Myungsoo continues to describe Y/n's opposite facial features, Y/n never looks away from Myungsoo and only looks him straight in the eyes. Then Chaeyoung finished drawing and looked at what she drew
"This is what she looks like, huh?" Chaeyoung mutters
Some time …
"Let him go"
"What? Why would I?" Chaeyoung asked
"He's on the police's watchlist and so are you, the two of you shouldn't be seen together. We cannot take that risk, it's not like he's helpful on finding who Jeon Mirae is"
"But he's the only one who can recognize Jeon Mirae! If I ever found her then I need him for verification"
"This sketch is your verification. The best option for us is to let him go" Y/n said
"Myungsoo will snitch us!"
"I won't let that happen, I'll keep an eye on him while he's out there. I know people who can watch others without being obvious" Y/n said
"But.."
"Don't you trust me?" Y/n asked
"Of course I trust you" Chaeyoung said
"Then, let me handle this"
"Okay, if it's you.. I can't say no..."
"Thank you for the trust" Y/n gave Chaeyoung a fake smile
Just like that, Y/n has already her full control on Chaeyoung
_____
After Chaeyoung let Myungsoo go, he immediately went to his sister's house. Y/n went to the apartment while wearing her disguise, she stops at the door and leans her head to the door but she can't hear a thing. Y/n decided to come down at the parking lot and saw the truck she rented, she opens the door and look at the handle above the door
The handle is actually broken, so if Myungsoo gets into it and holds the handle, he will fall to the ground. Of course, Y/n won't just let him fall, she placed a rock at the ground. She measured it first if Myungsoo's head will perfectly land on the rock
Y/n looks at the handle then to the rock, she's confident that her plan will succeed. She took out her phone and dialed Myungsoo's number, it took a while for him to answer her
"You're keeping me waiting, I'm impatient... You don't wanna get on my bad side" Y/n said as she closed the door and walk away
"I'm sorry, it's just I'm catching up with my sister and her son because it's been months since I last saw them. What made you call?" He asked through the phone
"The police will go to your sister's apartment at any minute, better run. I have no idea why but you better leave before they get there"
That's true, Jisoo actually believed what Y/n had given to her that time. It was believable so Jisoo asked the chief for it and he let it open for a month
"What?!"
"I rented a truck for you, it's already parked in the parking lot and its keys are inside. Remember, you better not get caught or it'll be the end of us" Y/n said
"..Thank you, Mirae"
Y/n ended the call. She hid in the building next to the apartment where she could see the perfect view of the apartment, then Y/n saw Myungsoo fastly running on the way to the Parking lot. She then looks at her wristwatch
"They'll arrive at ten.. nine.. eight.. seven-"
Y/n stopped counting when she heard the police siren, she averted her eyes to the parking lot and saw Myungsoo run even faster. He saw the truck and went there, he opened the door and held the handle but he fall and his head hits the rock and knocked himself out. Didn't show any reactions by what just happened
There the police arrived at the apartment and saw him laying down on the ground. While Y/n casually walks away going to where she parked her car
Some time …
Y/n went to the New Hope Hospital for her weekly appointment with Dr Jung who's now her therapist. She really didn't like the idea of her talking out her problems with someone but she needs professional help
"How was your week, Y/n-ssi?" Chaeyeon asked
"Still the same"
"Still forgetting things?"
"Actually, yes. Something happened yesterday"
Yesterday …
Y/n was awoken up when she kept hearing her phone rings continuously, she answered it out of annoyance
"Good morning, is this Jeon Mirae?" The caller asked that made her speechless
"Who is this?"
"Uh I'm a waitress at a restaurant you went to last night, ma'am. You forgot your credit card and shopping bags here, you should take it home, ma'am"
"I think you got the wrong number, I didn't go out last night" Y/n ended the call
Again, Someone called her 'Ms Jeon'. Y/n prefers to stay at home if she has no work, she rarely goes to restaurants or go shopping, but why would someone tell her that she went out last night when she could remember she slept early?
Time skip …
Eating her lunch, Y/n is still troubled by it. Why has this kept on happening for the past months?
"It must just be someone with the same name as mine and they kept in mistaking that it was me" Y/n convincing herself
But to be honest, that's far from it. Because if that's the case then they wouldn't know her personal number, right? That phone number only belongs to Y/n, she knows she couldn't keep on convincing herself that isn't the case but none of this is a coincidence
Some time …
"Ms Jeon" the waitress bows
"This is your card and the shopping bags" She said but Y/n isn't interested in it
"Can I look through your cctv?" Y/n asked
"For what reason, ma'am?"
"I just wanna see what I looked like yesterday.. I forgot what happened because I was drunk" Y/n lied
It's half true though, she wanna know if it's really her that was in here last night
"Okay then, follow me, ma'am"
A little later …
"Did the camera capture the table where I'm at?" Y/n asked
"Let's see, ma'am" The waitress looks
"Yes it did. Here you are, ma'am" The waitress pointed it out
Her jaw dropped, it was really her who's having dinner at this fine dining restaurant. But how come she couldn't recall going out last night? The last memory of hers was when she fell asleep
None of these makes sense! Just why?
The question that is also the answer she had been dying to know has finally been answered. People calling her dead name was no coincidence nor mistake
"Is there a problem, ma'am?" The waitress asked after noticing Y/n's facial expressions
"Is that really.. me?" Y/n asked in disbelief
"Well, yes. It is you, ma'am"
Present time …
"Ohh, well I guess you wouldn't be surprised to what I'll say then because you got your answer yesterday" Chaeyeon said
"What is it?" Y/n curiously asked
"I hate to inform you this but, you have Dissociative identity disorder, Y/n-ssi"
Dissociative identity disorder?
Is this the reason why all of these confusions had been happening because she has a split personality? There is another person living inside of her not having any idea about it
"I don't believe you.."
"How can I lie? It's my job, Y/n-ssi. I know it can be a lot to handle but I promise-"
"No" Y/n stood up
Her body couldn't function normally the way it does after this news that she got. She couldn't move her body at all, she wanted to leave but she just couldn't and her hands were trembling as well. Y/n looked at the door, thinking of leaving and approaching but she bumped to the side of the bookshelf
"I'm not crazy!" Y/n exclaimed as she turn around and face Dr Jung
"Y/n-ssi, calm down. I know it's overwhelming but it's the truth and we'll do everything that we can to cure you no matter what. All you gotta do now is to trust yourself for now.. please"
"No, this can't be happening!"
Y/n is already cursed to be born just like her cold-blooded psychopath father, why would she be diagnosed with Dissociative identity disorder this time? Does the world and gods hate her so much?
Just no. Y/n refuses to believe this and she'll keep on being stubborn about this as long as she can't accept the fact. Because if this is the case then, she is the copycat
Trying to find out who it is, suspecting everyone around her but it turned out that it was her all along. Even if you say that it might be her other identity who's doing those killings, they still did it by using Y/n's body so technically, it's still Y/n
"I won't.. I'm not"
"The only way for us to have more insight about your other half is for you to communicate with them. They must have a reason for why they're doing these things, why they're doing stuff you'd never do. That's the only way that I could find a solution and help you"
"How?! How can I do that?! How can there be two of me?!" Y/n yelled
"It can be caused by trauma, you shared to me that you had a tough childhood-"
Y/n furiously comes to Dr Jung, she grabbed her shoulders
"I can't have this.. This shouldn't happen!"
"I know it's hard to expect but it's the truth, we can't do anything about it"
This really can't happen, she better not be the one who killed those people. From the looks of it, the villain in her own life was herself, She was chasing herself
This is just so unfair and cruel
That night …
Y/n stares at her reflection in the mirror
"If you're really in there.. I want you to know that I won't let you take over my body"
"You hear me?! I'm the true identity, there's no place for you here!!" Y/n punched the mirror causing her knuckles to bleed
Y/n punches the mirror again and kicks it dropping it to the floor, she stomped it again and again
Next day …
Y/n wakes up. She stood up seeing the doorknob broken, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She hears someone doorbell so Y/n went there seeing Jennie
"You look like shit" Jennie jokes
"I think I may have found the copycat" Y/n said
"Really? Who?" curious Jennie asked
"It's me. No, more like my other personality that can't move on and still goes by the name 'Jeon Mirae'"
Jennie was speechless and can't find the words to say
"I have D.I.D. and this identity was the one who's behind it, I was actually going after myself. But this other identity of mine is careless and reckless, I hate it"
"But your personality is always the same when you're with me.." Jennie said
"I guess it only becomes alive at night, especially when I sleep. That's when it'll woke up and make a mess" Y/n said
"Y/n.."
"I need time to process this" Y/n said and closed the door
That night …
Y/n is looking at the article of the killing timeline of the copycat in her laptop, quietly reading it all. Can't believe to herself that it was her
She then hears the doorbell, Y/n stands up and goes there. When she opened the door, no one was there but a mysterious black box by the doorstep. Y/n took it and get inside and went back in her room, her eyes grew upon opening it and seeing what's inside
Countless of her childhood pictures are inside, then a letter saying 'If you want to know more, come to this address. I'll be waiting until tonight'
Y/n then calls Jennie's number
"Hey.. are you okay?" Jennie asked
"Can you keep an eye on my father right now? I think he's still in the hospital"
"Why?"
"I think he sent this box containing my past, I have to make sure that it wasn't him"
Time skip …
Y/n has arrived at the location. She stopped and looked to her front seeing high walls and a gate, she looked up above the gate seeing a cctv. She took the paper and showed it to the camera, then the gate opened. Going inside, Y/n got extreme déjà vu
It's like a town studio of Hunsan, the town where she grew up as Jeon Mirae. The establishments are the same replica as if she's in Jeju Island, the high school she went to. Y/n continued to walk further until she got to the house that she lived in, Tzuyu's father's house.
"What is this place?" Y/n mumbles as she walks to the center
Looking to her right, Gigi's store was also there. Y/n is confused yet surprised, she gets to the center of this so-called town then hears classical music plays. Y/n looked around and the street lamps had speakers where the sound was coming from. Her phone vibrates, Y/n answered Jennie's call
"Is he with you?" Y/n asked
"He's by the cafeteria talking to someone, I think she's a celebrity" Jennie said
If Mr Jeon is still in the hospital then who is this person who made her come here? She unconsciously dropped her phone to the ground
"Who are you? Show yourself!" Y/n shouted
Then a giant screen then comes down in front of her, a video starts playing. It's someone wearing a scream mask and suit, surrounded by darkness
"Finally, I have seen you face to face.. Jeon Mirae" The distorted voice said
"Why can't you show yourself? Don't be a coward"
"I bet you're dying to know who I am after seeing this, right? I mean, what the fuck is happening?!" They chuckled
"I heard you were recently diagnosed to have two or maybe more personalities. That is shocking news. Didn't expect Jeon Mirae to have a weakness.. though it was fun to know you went crazy after finding it out"
It made Y/n surprised, how did this person know about it? Who told this person? Jennie? Or was it Dr Jung?
"About this place, isn't it cool? Doesn't it remind you of home?" The distorted voice asked but Y/n didn't said anything and look at the screen
"Fun fact, This is where I live. Having to live the same life you did, being your shadow"
Y/n doesn't care about them telling stories
"You've come this far, Chaeyoung. I'm impressed" Y/n said
"Chaeyoung? I'm clearly not Chaeyoung!" It laughs
"Acting dumb is a piece of cake for you and pretending to be clueless about everything. But you actually knew so can you stop now, Chaeyoung? Face me yourself instead of hiding behind a screen like a child"
"I told you, I'm not Chaeyoung! Who even is this girl?"
If this is not Chaeyoung.. then who?
"You think it's fun toying me? I'm not stupid, You can't get in my head-"
"Oh.. I already have, you might actually become insane once you find out about it!!" The person with a scream mask laughed out loud
"Enough with this chit-chatting, let's get down to business. Now are you ready?" The distorted voice asked
"Why don't we play hide and seek? I hide and you find who am I"
"I'm not interested playing games with you" Y/n said
Then a lamp light exploded after being shot that caught Y/n by surprise
"What are you doing?" Y/n asked
"What do you think? Shooting you, genius. Now, brace yourself"
Y/n looks around to look for the possible place where the snipers are, trying to find red light dots but the next thing she knows, she was shot in her right shoulder. And before Y/n could react to it, another bullet comes inside her body but this time it's in her abdomen, she placed her hand to where she was shot
She dropped her knees to the ground. Kneeling as she looked at the screen in front of her while blood comes out of her mouth
"You must be wondering why I'm doing this. Let me tell you, it's revenge.. just revenge"
Trying to fight even if her body is giving up, Y/n wouldn't let this person win. But unfortunately, Her body gave up and lost its consciousness
