Doppelganger

"Stop acting like cupid bitch. She's an adult. She can handle it."

TP nagged after hearing Tia's proposal. Tia pouted and poured out her worries.

"But... But she's been" sheltered" I'm just worried that she might not be able to have a life outside the Lee mansion's walls. You see she's - oh shit he's here.... "

Tia couldn't finish her argument. She hurriedly put the menu over her face to hide. TP got curious and was about to turn around to check but Tia stopped her.

"Don't... It's Tony. He's here."

"Oh..."

"..."

Tia peeked at the menu, while Tony walked in together with Cole. He was in a trance so he didn't notice Tia and TP sitting at the corner of the shop.

"Mr. Shin. Let's have a seat here."

"...."

Tony just mechanically followed Cole but his eyes was fixed on the girl who looks like Rin Chan.

He thought that he was just seeing things. His mind can't process what's going on.

He knew that Rin Chan was suppose to be at the Lee's guarding their young miss so there's no reason for her to be working at the tea shop.

'Am I hallucinating.. No... A doppelganger?'

He was in deep thought, trying to figure out what's happening. Then he heard a very familiar voice.

"May I take your or.... der."

"...."

Rin Chan flinched as soon as she realized who her customer is. Tony intently looked at her. After he heard her voice, he was sure that it was indeed Rin Chan.

"Ms." Jade" I'll have my regular tea. How about you Mr. Shin."

"I'm not thirsty..."

"...."

Tony said as his eyes still locked on Rin. Rin Chan avoided his gaze, bowed and walked out of their table.

Meanwhile the ladies were intently watching the exchange between Rin Chan and Tony as Rin Chan takes their orders.

"Oh, there's definitely something.."

TP commented. She and Tony were kinda close since they both love giving Charlie a hard time and it was a first time that she saw Tony getting all agitated.

"I know right.... So will you help me?"

"Bitch count me in.."

TP said. She had decided to help since she feels like the two only needs a little nudge.

"She's pretty right. She's my muse."

Cole said after he noticed that Tony seemed also entranced with Rin Chan's beauty.

"Muse?"

"Yes. My inspiration for my character. I wanted to show her to you...I based my character on her."

"Do you know each other? How long have you known her? From where? Does she know that you use her face for your webtoon? "

"...."

Tony's barrage of question startled the little kid.

"No... Not exactly. I... I... Only saw her everytime I went home from work. She looks lonely that's why I got inspired to make a webtoon out of her."

Cole explained. He usually comes home the same time as Rin Chan and he would often notice that she looks tired and sad while holding a bag filled of beers and cup noodles.

He felt pity for her. He thought she must've had a lonely life if she spends her night drowning herself in alcohol.
