Bittersweet Life

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? ~~~

'Prime Suspect'

"Found it!" Harry smiled as he showed the bracelet to Heidi.

Heidi flinched and her eyes widened. Her sweat turned cold as her body gradually shook. "T-That's yours?"

"Yes," Harry closely watched her reaction. No doubt, she was familiar with the bracelet.

"I-It's beautiful. May I see it?" Heidi formed a nervous smile.

"Sure," Harry responded then, handed the bracelet to her.

Heidi smoothly tilted the bracelet to read the engraved words behind it— she froze.

'T-This... Wait. No. Maybe just the same?', Heidi thought, restless.

She lifted her gaze and looked at Harry.

"Is this perhaps... Your mother's own handwriting?"

Harry paused. "Yes. How did you know?"

Heidi couldn't take her eyes off Harry's cold stares. She couldn't tell whether he was telling the truth or not.

'What the hell is this feeling?', Heidi thought as she felt her chest tighten even more.
