The Look-a-like
The snow outside has gotten melted by the spring sun.
Seonghwa and his girlfriend are standing outside the clothing store looking at some of the clothes.
She looks at a black, sparkly dress.
"This dress is so beautiful." she says.
"It reminds me of the night sky." he says.
"But I don't know if I can afford it."
"We'll see tomorrow."
"I hope I'll look pretty in that dress."
"You do look pretty right now." he says, making a smile appear on her lips.
"Well... let's meet here tomorrow at 1 PM." she says.
"Alright, see you."
Then both of the go home.
The sky has darkened outside.
He is sitting in the office room in his house, where he usually sits down by the table and writes things down in his journal.
The journal that has a photo of her as a bookmark.
The photo, he took of her in the Pink Rose café when they started dating.
He starts writing down about the day today on the blank page.
His heart flutters as he writes about how she smiled when he called her pretty.
Then he finishes writing.
His stomach feels empty, so he decides to go to the kitchen and get something to eat.
He gets shocked, when he see a stranger sitting there at the kitchen table.
Two wine glasses with dark red liquid are standing on the table in front of that mysterious person.
The stranger is wearing black clothes, a hat and some long necklaces.
"Who... who are you?" he asks.
The stranger looks at him.
He notices that this person's nose and lips are covered by a black mask.
The stranger then removes the mask, showing his entire face.
His face looks familiar to him, but he isn't sure where he has seen it.
Then he realizes that he has seen it in the mirror.
Then this person takes the glass, swirling the liquid around, like a person usually does before drinking a glass of wine.
The stranger whispers to him: "have a drink too."
Seonghwa doesn't know if he should trust him, but takes the glass and looks at the liquid.
He puts it close to the nose, smelling the alcohol.
"Cheers" the man whispers.
Both of them take a sip of the glass at the same time.
Seonghwa feels the sweet wine taste.
He empties the glass and puts it back on the table.
"What kind of red wine is this?" he asks.
The stranger sits there silent, while a smile is slowly forming on his face.
Then out of a sudden Seonghwa gets dizzy and falls down on the floor.
He wakes up, realizing that he isn't in the kitchen anymore.
He gets up from the ground.
Then he notices that he is a cage made out of glass.
A cage in a dark and empty room.
His heart is fluttering from fear.
He knocks on the wall, saying "Is anyone here? Can you hear me?"
She is standing outside the clothing store, looking at her watch.
Her heart is fluttering as she thinks about his handsome face and his lovely voice.
She can't wait to try the dress.
The look-a-like walks over to her, wearing blue jeans and a white button down shirt.
A smile appears on her face when she sees him.
He takes her hand, making her blush.
"Hello, my pretty."
