Chapter 2:
If You Really Love Me, Then You Should Love Yourself First!
This is bad. I’ve got confessed by Sou-chan. I love him too, but why did I say that!?
I’m sorry, Sou-chan. I didn’t mean it.
And exactly when I was going to say sorry, there was a light bright enough to blind me, maybe to Sou-chan as well.
Sleepy.
I don’t know about Sou-chan, but I feel like I had the best sleep than I ever had.
When I wake up, I look up the clock on Sou-chan room.
“Oh, it’s already this hour.”
But I realize, it’s just a half hour had passed.
When I want to check Sou-chan, “Sou-chan, wake-“
I was shocked, that beside him, there is a girl. I don’t know her, but for some reason her face is very similar to Sou-chan.
“Who…… is she?”
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I opened my eyes to wake.
Why my vision is doubled. It’s because of that flash?
I woke myself to sit, it’s hard, but I managed.
I see Rina, but because of my doubled vision, I almost feel sick by it.
I close my eye to ease my vision.
When I open my eyes again, I see Rina very close to one of my visions.
“Who are you!”
“Wah!” “Wah!”
I immediately backed up a little to get a distance from Rina.
“Rina, what do-“ “Rina, what do-“
Wait, why my voice is a little weird?
When I turn my face, I looking someone I didn’t know, wearing a short and a t-shirt, if it’s like she’s belong here, in my apartment.
Ok, even with doubled visions, I can clearly see, whoever she is.
Rina, who’s curious confront her, by getting close to her
“Who are you? How you can be here?” say Rina while pointing at one of my visions.
“Whoa, too close, Rina!” “Whoa, too close, Rina!” I say that instinctively, because Rina is really too close.
Hold on, why I can see Rina very close while Rina getting close to that girl?
And that girl seems to be mimicking me every single word I speak without any delay.
Can it be….
As I raising my own right hand, and sure enough, that girl also do the same.
Rina sees her with confusion, but when Rina sees me, she’s more confused.
“Hold on, Sou-chan. Why do you,….. and why she-“
I raised my other hand; she does the same.
As I thought.
“So, she’s mimicking you. But why?” Say Rina confused.
“Maybe,…. Because she is my clone?” “Maybe,…. Because she is my clone?”
Oh my god, hearing my own voice and that girl voice at the same time is overwhelming.
“Hm????”
I put both my hand down and start to close my eyes.
“Now, what are you-“
“Shh. Quiet, let me focused.” “Shh. Quiet, let me focused.”
To be honest, I don’t even know how to focused on this situation. But I did.
I open my eyes again, it’s indeed still had double visions, but….
“Ah, testing.” As I thought, I can do a total control of her without depend on my own body.
“See, Rina, I can control her. That’s why I said she is my clone.”
When I took a glance of her, she’s still mimicking my body movement, but not my voice this time.
“Ok, you’ve proved your point. But how she came here, and, where she’s came from?”
“I don’t know. But right now, I’m trying to control both of this body, simultaneously.”
“Ok, this is…… I’m gonna take a cold drink in your kitchen.”
“Alright.”
Rina half-sprint to the kitchen. I know this is much for her. But what about me!?
Alright let’s take a practice.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“I can’t believe it. Why he’s still calm at that situation. I panicked inside you know.”
But, that coolness, also, the reason I really like you Sou-chan.
I grabbed a nice cold tea out of his fridge, take a cup and drink it.
“Oh, that was nice.”
When I compose myself, I look to my right, to the room that I remember, used as a storage room.
But instead of a blank door, now that door has a placard on it. On that placard, it says “Touka”.
I open that door, and I greeted by a really girly room. I mean, it’s like Sou-chan’s room but more girly.
It has everything. Bed, wardrobe, full size mirror, desk, PC, console game, there’s a lot.
I come inside, and walk through the table. I saw a student ID.
I grabbed it, and saw who has this ID.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I get used to it already.
Now I can move separately, and do other stuff as well.
“Now I don’t have to worry about a synchronization anymore” I say it in my own body.
“And maybe I can do my own monologue. But Is that even a monologue anymore, because she’s still me?” I say it through the girl’s voice.
“Maybe.”
It’s surprisingly fun once you’ve mastered it.
I laughed, to myself. I hear my own laugh synchronize again, but that’s OK.
“Sorry to break your new hobby then, I’ve got something to ask.”
Rina came back from the kitchen, I didn’t realize Rina already came back.
But something telling me that Rina is gonna talk about something strange beside my ‘clone’ here.
“Sure, what is it?”
“Come.”
I follow her to the storage room, with my ‘clone’ too, of course, which, for some reason I still really attached to her.
When I see the storage room door, I confused.
“Wait, there no placard in here before.”
I examine that placard and read “Touka” on it.
“Touka, who is Touka?”
“You know once you come inside.” Said Rina with her arm crossed.
I opened the door, and I let my clone get inside first.
Wow, this is, girly for sure.
I look everything inside that room. Sure, there’s a lot of stuff inside. But I take notice is the student ID on the table.
I grabbed that ID and see what’s inside.
Our school ID? That’s strange, mine’s on the bag.
I flipped the ID showing that ID had full identity on it
‘Ichikawa Touka, 18 years old.’
Her birthdate is same as me.
Wait, her face, is same with my clone here.
I glanced at Rina with both bodies.
“This is my theory. Your ‘clone’ here is actually your twins. Yes, I saw it already, and because ‘she’ had the same birthdate to you, and her room is literally beside you, there is no mistake to ‘her’ to be your twins. Plus, both of you had a similar face.”
After Rina say that, I took a closer look at my clone. Rina had a point; she indeed looks like me.
“Ok, now I get it. But how!?”
“We don’t know yet. Maybe something is going on with the world itself.” Say Rina with confident.
“Anyway, I got to go back home now. Because I already promised my parents to back early. If you had anything to ask or assist, call me, Okay?”
I nod to her.
“OK, see you tomorrow.”
“See you.” Say us harmoniously.
Once Rina getting out from the apartment, I sat on the bed as ‘her’.
Hold on, this is getting confusing already. Uhhmm. ‘I sat on the bed as Touka, and see myself.’ That’s what I was gonna say.
“So, this is my room.”
“I see it.”
“What do you think? This is the first time you came to a girl’s room.” Say Touka proudly.
“Hey, Rina is also a girl you know.”
“She’s excluded because she is our childhood friend. Although, I’m not sure if I, myself, was included.”
“In this world, you are indeed included.”
I see a phone on the table, I grabbed it give it to Touka.
“Why you’re not see it for yourself?”
I grabbed the phone, and open it with my fingerprint.
“It worked.”
I open the messaging app, and I see a lot of conversation in there, but one message group is sticking out to me.
“Let’s see, BFF group.”
I scrolled up the conversation. There’s a lot to process for me.
In that message, Touka is also there, and there’s a bunch. I scroll to see more of the message sent both by me and Touka.
When I finished, I close my phone, or Touka’s phone and put it beside me.
“There’s a lot.” I say it as Touka.
Because of that message, I need to sit as myself.
Apparently, in this reality, Touka was indeed my twin sister. My younger twin sister to be precise.
Of course, thanks to that message, I was being able to know more about Touka, despite she is also myself at the same time.
“We need to investigate, how’s this going on.” Say myself as Touka.
“And don’t forget about something our situation first.”
“Yeah, agree. I need to get used to myself to be called both Touka and Souta at the same time.”
*sigh* We both sighed.
“OK, I need to sleep early. This is a lot.” I say it as myself.
“Good night, myself. But yes, today is indeed a lot.”
I get out from Touka’s room to my own.
Once I get to my own bed, I instantly plunged to myself to bed also, while Touka is already in bed in the beginning.
