"We meet again Kim GoEun or should I say  Lee Eunjeong," Marco said.

The real Kim GoEun was Lee Eunjeong, we can conclude that Jiyeon was right about the fake one. GoEun ignored Marco like he was a voice in her head. She refused to look at him, who knows what he could possibly do to her.

"I am not the one who is doing this to you, I know you want to escape but you can't do it alone." He says approaching here. GoEun opens her eyes and turns to him, she was interested in what he had to say about escaping.

"I can help you escape but it can only be tomorrow." He says as he squats in front of her.

"What do I need to do?" GoEun voiced out but it was more of a whisper.

"We are going to make you a maid. You see, above this deadly place is a nice mansion. When there is a nice mansion they need people to do the work they don't feel like doing. I am going to knock out one of the maids and you are going to switch clothes with her. Since I am allowed to make maids to errands, I'll just send you to do one. You have to stay hidden once we get out of the mansion, or before you even go to see anyone close to you." Marco explained the plan but there was something she couldn't get of her mind.

"Will they do the same things they do to me to her?" GoEun seemed so concerned, she didn't want anyone to go through what she went through.

"Don't worry the guards won't do anything." He reassures her but she didn't buy it.

THE NEXT DAY

GoEun was sleeping lightly as she never knew what those horrible people could do while she's sleeping. The door creaked quietly which woke up GoEun. She curled up into a ball moving to the side of the corner, close to her bed. It was Marco carrying an unconscious maid.

"I deactivated your ankle bracelet for a small amount of time, come closer so I can remove it and put it on her quickly." GoEun hesitated but soon followed what he said. Marco puts the ankle bracelet on the maid very quickly.

"You might want to change your clothes with hers, I would like to respect both of you guys' privacy," Marco says and turns around. GoEun changed into the maid's outfit while she put her clothes on the maid. She didn't forget to grab the ring she left in the whole as it was the very one Mark have her.

"Hurry up GoEun we don't have enough time right now!" Marco exclaims quietly. She was finally leaving the room, her last attempt wasn't successful but now it can. Luckily there weren't any guards passing around. They finally made it to the mansion. GoEun was amazed as she only saw this stuff on tv.

"Go to the library, go straight down that hallway and make a right it is the first door to the left. I'll come and get you." Marco whispers before going to his destination.

GoEun did as she was told, on her way she spotted a glass behind a vase. Since she thought it would be a good idea to take it and put it on. Once she got into the library she saw a duster on the coffee table. GoEun took the duster and started to dust off books in one section. All of a sudden the door opened, GoEun turned to see who it was.  It was another maid who had a mop and bucket in her hands.

"Oh! Are you the new maid?" She asked and GoEun nodded.

"Well, hello my name is Lee Doyeon, the libraries are usually my section of cleaning. What's your name?" Doyeon introduces and asks.

"I'm Lee Eun— Lee Eunha, it's nice to meet you," GoEun says. Of course, she gave a fake name, as she was not staying in this place for long. She dazed out a bit, she couldn't believe she almost introduced herself as Lee Eunjeong. It was like she didn't even know herself as Kim GoEun.

"Lee Eunha come and run an errand for me, I already told Mrs.Lee. Doyeon finish her part because she won't be back to complete it." They turned facing the door to see Marco speaking to them. GoEun bowed at Doyeon and followed Marco.

"I see you took my prop, did you know you look very different with glasses?" Marco whispered.

"Yes, I know that." GoEun whispered back, they got out the front door, the sunlight hit GoEun. As much as she didn't like the sunlight, this was the first time she was happy to see it. Marco led GoEun to his car, she was finally out of that miserable place. All she needed was Marco's help in order for it to be successful.

"You are going to stay at my house for a while, it won't be safe for you to go back to your family or apartment. The fake you is going to realize your gone and might do something more dangerous if they get you. I am only saying this once; you can't leave the house or make phone calls at any circumstances. Here is a phone that only has my number, use it for emergencies only."  Marco explained to GoEun as they were on their way to his house.

They arrived at Marco's house, GoEun followed as she didn't know what to do. Marco led GoEun to a room which was on the second floor.

"This is where you'll be staying at the moment if there is a dangerous situation you will hear a bell ring three times. When you hear that move this box. I built an escape route, this will lead you to the garage. At all costs, you must leave the house don't go anywhere too far. I call you for your location so I can come and get you." Marco explains, "You had a tough day today you might want to rest." Marco was about to leave but GoEun stopped him with voice.

"Thank you so much." Marco just smiled at her before leaving the room. GoEun went into the bathroom to take a shower. This was a good time for her to think about what had happened to her for the past month. Tears fell from her eyes, when she was in that place she was scared. She was scared that she'll never see the sunlight again, never be able to see her family and friends, never being able to see Mark.

LATER THAT EVENING

"WHAT?!! SHE ESCAPED?!! YOU LOW-LIFES ARE HORRIBLE AT EVERYTHING YOU DO!! YOU ONLY HAD ONE JOB, ONE JOB!! NOW EVERYTHING IS RUINED AND YOU BETTER FIND HER OR JUST KILL YOURSELVES. I'LL BE GLAD TO ATTEND YOUR FUNERAL!!!" GoEun yelled in anger.

GoEun went to the hair salon as it wasn't closed yet. GoEun dyed her hair black to cancel out the highlights. Next, she went to go and get some blue contacts, it was just in case of a sudden encounter. Once GoEun got home she marked something on her calendar. She wrote a memo on a certain day, as it was going to be the most important day of her life.

"𝓞𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓭𝓪𝔂 𝓘'𝓵𝓵 𝓶𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝓼𝓾𝓻𝓮 𝓱𝓮'𝓼 𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓲𝓯 𝓪𝓷𝔂𝓸𝓷𝓮 𝓰𝓮𝓽𝓼 𝓲𝓷 𝓶𝔂 𝔀𝓪𝔂, 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝔂'𝓵𝓵 𝓫𝓮 𝓪 𝓬𝓸𝓻𝓹𝓼𝓮 𝓲𝓷 𝓪 𝓬𝓻𝓪𝓭𝓵𝓮."

(GoEun in bold means it is the fake one)

A FEW DAYS LATER

GoEun was currently watching tv as she was indeed joying not doing anything related to school. On the other hand, Marco was in his office trying to piece a new clothing design. There was a big and loud knock on the front door which startled GoEun. Marco comes out of his office and checks who it is through the peephole.

"Go through the escape route," Marco says and GoEun didn't hesitate to move. She quickly grabbed the cell phone and an umbrella as the news said it was going to rain. GoEun went down the escape route which led to the garage. She slowly walked to the back door but heard a voice which caused her to be curious.

"We saw you on the camera in the basement, did you have anything to do with Lee Eunjeong?" Someone asked.

"Yes indeed I went there but I was only checking on her. With all those pills she could've died. I mean don't I have the right to see her? Don't forget I constructed the plan." Marco says, and GoEun silently gasped. Just who is Marco? Why is he doing this?

GoEun went out the back door still thinking about Marco said. GoEun walked to wherever her feet could take her. As they were on their way to Marco's house, she saw a subway station close by. GoEun used contact clues to find the subway station, it started to rain very hard. She was lucky enough to listen to the news today.

Once she went down the stairs, she sat down on the bench. All she was doing was waiting for Marco's call. As many people were in the subway station it would be hard for those people to try and get her. An hour has already passed and Marco still hasn't called yet. GoEun decided to go out and browse the neighborhood, even though it was raining. The rain helps her thoughts and makes her calm.

GoEun observed her surroundings, she took a good look at everything in her view range. Until she came across someone, in particular, someone who looks very familiar. That person was on the phone but the face was covered by that person's cell phone. She wanted to know who that person was and why her brain made her stop. Just as that person glanced at his side, it was Mark. GoEun felt like crying but she kept it in, GoEun was happy to see him but he can't know that this is the real GoEun. She turned around walking to wherever her feet could take her.

As she was so close to turning the corner, "KIM GOEUN!!" A loud voice made her freeze up and turned to the owner of the voice, of course, the owner of the voice was Mark. Her heartbeat increased, GoEun started running. She couldn't let Mark catch her yet, or discover the truth. GoEun dropped her umbrella as she couldn't keep up withholding it while running with it. She glanced back to see Mark standing next to the umbrella she dropped. GoEun saw an alleyway up close so she quickly entered it. She was soaking wet but at least she got away from him. Shortly after her cellphone rang and she picked it up immediately. Since she didn't know this place she couldn't give an exact location, but she told him the shops and places around her. It only took about a few minutes for Marco to find her. She quickly got in the car and they drove off. GoEun didn't mention anything about Mark, even though Marco has helped her a lot. He doesn't seem trustable anymore.

1 WEEK LATER

Throughout this week Marco and GoEun have been planning to find out the person impersonating her. Now on this very day, the truth will be told.

"You remember how the plan goes right?" Marco was currently talking to GoEun on the phone.

"Yes, how many times are you going to ask?" GoEun says, she was in the area of the apartment she lived in, "But what if that person is in there?"

"Don't worry I am pretty sure she's occupied with something," Marco says and they end the call. GoEun goes into the apartment building, she remembers leaving her spare key in a plant which was in a hidden corner on her floor. Once she opened her door, everything was in place, the suspicious thing was it was too perfect. GoEun's part of the plan was to find something that seemed out of the ordinary, then tell Marco as soon as possible, and take pictures. She was a little bit unfamiliar as she hasn't seen her own apartment for so long. When she got into the bedroom, she looked at the desk. GoEun picked up a random notebook and flipped through it. At first, it had blank pages but later on, it was just pictures of Mark. The more she flipped through the more pictures of him. It was like this person was stalking him.

This caused GoEun to look at more objects, she came across a flip board which the title was written in bold, "♥️All about Mark Tuan♥️" It literally had his daily schedule, his dislikes, and likes, personal contacts, including his families, blood type, everything that was personal. This disgusted GoEun, this person probably stole strands of his hair or maybe his underwear. GoEun placed everything across the desk and took pictures of everything related to Mark. Then, she found the diary of that person, the book was in good condition like it hasn't been touched at all. GoEun was scanning through the book as she didn't have the time to read all of it, but only a few entries got her attention.

Dear diary,

I hate Kim GoEun so much, so much to the point, I could kill her. I don't understand why she won't stay away from Mark, I know he doesn't like her at all. She is so desperate and she acts like a slut. It's time for her to taste her own medicine, I'll make sure that I will make her life a living hell.

Dear Diary,

I love the way Mark sings while he's in the shower. He sounds like an angel from above. Today I had to switch out the cameras I placed in his apartment. Since I know his schedule, changing it wasn't hard for me. I am just waiting for the day he'll ask me for my hand. Anyways, I saved all the footage from the old camera and saved it on my laptop. I gotta go, Mark is about to go to Jyp ent. building to practice.

Dear Diary,

My plan was finally been accomplished, that slut will pay for stealing my man. Since she wants his attention, she gets all the attention from me. I just don't understand why she was so stupid not to listen to Dawon. People these days don't listen to warnings. Dawon is also a slut too, always seeking for anyone's attention. She's a disgrace to my family, sometimes I wish she wasn't my half-sister. I could care less if she died.

— 𝔂

Dear Diary,

Today Mark kissed me! I was so shocked, I think he likes me now. I think I might just confess my love for him. He promised that he'll always be with me and protect me. He also said I'm unique and I should love myself. That's what I like about him, he so kind and funny. I can just imagine what our family would look like with our children. Anyways, if he doesn't keep his promise I might as well kill myself, but he'll die with me. So we can be in the afterlife with each other.

That feisty persona was still alive in GoEun, it was triggered by this person talking about her, Mark, and Dawon. She compressed her anger and looked for the laptop mentioned in the diary. She quickly put everything back to the way they were. Since it wasn't in the room GoEun grabbed one of her spare USB so she could have the evidence she was stalking Mark. It was on the coffee table in the living room. It needed a password to access it since it was a number password GoEun expected it to be his birthday. To her luck it was, that person wouldn't make it obvious about there being videos. It took a while for GoEun to find it but soon she did. She didn't dare click on any of the videos, all she did was move the whole file.

A sudden noise came from the laptop, it was a reminder but the shocking thing was the purpose of it.

"𝘿𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙠♥️ 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙛𝙩𝙤𝙥!"

She quickly closed the computer and put the USB in her pocket. She ran out of the door and headed to the elevator while dialing Marco's number.

"What did you fin--"

"She's been stalking him for a while, and I have the evidence, but that isn't the problem, she's on her way to confess to Mark on the rooftop! I can not absolutely let that happen!" GoEun spoke while changing her direction towards the stairs as the elevator wasn't coming to her floor.

"GoEun don't do anything irrational, just wait till I get there," Marco says.

"I sorry but I can't let that happen, he can't accept her!" GoEun yells as if tears could fall from her eyes.

"GoEun don't go just wait--" GoEun ended the call running her fastest to reach the rooftop. As she saw the rooftop door she kicked it open. There she saw Mark standing in front of the fake her.

"DON'T LISTEN TO A WORD SHE SAYS, SHE IS NOT KIM GOEUN!!" GoEun yells with all her might. The impostor had a nasty look on her face and defended herself.

"No Mark don't listen to her I'm the real GoEun!!" She says while walking towards the real GoEun. That impostor planned to mix up with her so he wouldn't be able to tell the difference, as they were next to each other. Mark couldn't believe his eyes, which was is the real one?

The looked exactly alike but with different clothing. All Mark could hear was them going back and forth about which one is GoEun. Then the truth was finally revealed,

"She isn't Kim GoEun because I am, remember this ring? You're the one who could've only put it on my finger!" The real Kim GoEun said. The truth just shocked Mark to another extension. The impostor pushed GoEun and slapped her across the face.

"Why are you always trying to ruin my life?!! I should've just killed you when I had the chance to, but guess what now is the perfect chance." All of a sudden the impostor pulled out a gun on GoEun, being scared GoEun slowly moved back. She was so close to touching the wall, the thing about the rooftop was there were no rails. Mark couldn't help GoEun as these men in black were preventing him from saving her.

"Have a good life! Oh, by the way, I mean in the afterlife." During this moment time slowed down, Mark was struggling to get out their grip, the impostor shot a bullet aiming at GoEun's right side of her stomach. Mark was so desperate to save her but he just couldn't. He started struggling more which led him to finally get out of their grip, just as the bullet hit GoEun it made her fall back, fall of the building. Mark was lucky enough to catch GoEun before she could've fallen to her death. Police cars approach the car building and those people who did very bad things disappeared into thin air. Mark finally pulled GoEun up but her blood was everywhere, he held her tightly not wanting to let her go.

"Don't close your eyes, okay?! The police are here and the ambulance is on their way. GoEun please stay with me!" Mark exclaimed while putting his hand where she got shot. Tears started to fall from his face on to GoEun. He felt like he was the cause of this situation.

"Mark... I'm sorry for bringing you into this problem. If we never met this wouldn't have happened, thank you for always being there for me when I felt like I had no one. Promise that you'll remember me when I'm gone." GoEun forces herself to say but she ended up coughing blood.

"GoEun don't say that! You're going to survive ok?! Please don't leave me, stay with me!" Mark yells and more tears fall from his face.

With the last energy, GoEun had she stretched her hand to touch Mark's face.

"I love you."
