A New Identity

The few months they've lived together was peaceful. To Kim it was the perfect home, she didn't want things to change and at the same time she wanted Carl to see her as a woman and not just his 'sister'. She was conflicted and wasn't sure of her feelings. She didn't know if she was just bored and needed a companion or she had started developing feelings for him.

Carl on the other hand saw Kim as his little sister, nothing more, nothing less. He enjoyed her company. These few months had brought them closer, however, at the same time, they knew nothing about each other. He was comfortable with his life. Sometimes he wondered why he didn't have a younger sister to bug him just like Kim did.

She would complain about the customers and colleagues at the restaurant, sometimes she would cry when she watched romantic movies. He enjoyed every side of her. But sometimes she would scare him. When she got her period after he first moved in, she fainted. He panicked and took her to the hospital. He didn't know it could be that bad. She would roll on the floor, move to the bed, go back to the floor, throw up, complain of cold and heat at the same time. He decided he wasn't going to have a daughter, if he ever got married. He didn't want her to suffer like Kim.

When he got home, she was watching Korean drama. She was lying on the couch, popcorn in her hands. He liked how relaxed she was, like she had no problem.

"Welcome home. Your food is in the kitchen." She said.

"Thank you."

"By the way, my birthday is coming up soon." Kim followed behind him.

"When?" He questioned nonchalantly.

"4th of next month."

He sat down and opened the food.

"What do you want to do? You have no friends too."

"Well, I was hoping to spend it with you, maybe watch a couple of movies, at home." She said waiting for a response.

"Sure, I'll make time."

"Gift?" He asked.

"I'm fine with anything." She replied.

While Carl was thinking of what to gift her, she was thinking of ways to make Carl acknowledge her as a woman. However, she did not know how to go about it. She wondered if she should seduce him, dress seductively or simply tell him.

Still, she did not want to confuse him, after all she wasn't sure of her own feelings, so she chose not to do anything yet. It was still too early to make a move, it might be because she's bored or she's just craving attention or she just wants a companion, after all, she's been watching a lot of romance drama as of late.

But if she ever falls for him, and he still sees her as nothing more than a sister, then if she has to walk around naked for him to see her as a woman and not just a sister, she would.. if she has enough courage. Now she regrets asking him to treat her as a sister.

...

At noon the next day, at the designated restaurant he was to meet the brothers, he had already made provisions for their new identities earlier. But they were running late, he wondered if they backed out or they were caught by the police. He decided he'd wait for an hour, if they don't show up within the set time he would leave.

Forty-five minutes later, two young men looking very haggard walked into the restaurant, he recognized them as the H-brothers. They were looking around for him so he waved at them.

"You're late." Carl simply stated.

"Sorry boss, the police came in when we were trying to clear our base, we were lucky enough to have taken all the documents but some of us were caught." Hugo, the muscular man said then he handed over the documents to Carl.

"I see. Place an order then." Carl said in reply.

Hugo then signaled for the waiter to come take their order. After he ordered, Carl began speaking.

"I was able to break into the police database and cleared your records, I also changed your names." He then handed them two national ID's. Hugo became Allan Mike and Hunter became Allen Mike.

"Your national security number is still the same, I only made a little change to the information on the database. So go over them just to be safe. From today you're no longer Hugo and Hunter but Allan and Allen, my men, and you'll conduct yourself as such, starting from your appearance, no more leather jackets and ripped jeans." He paused to see if they were listening. "You'll learn to dress formally and not like the hoodlums you formerly were, understood?" He asked.

"Yes boss! We'll do as you say." They said in unison.

"Good."
