by Lee Hyeon-Sook
In public it seems as if Se-joon is embarrassed by his sister. He keeps her secluded from others, so she won't meet friends other than himself. Se-wa succumbs to Se-joon. When Se-joon gets a girlfriend, Su-in, Se-wa's jealous.
Se-joon and Se-wa meet a boy who introduces himself as an old friend, Sung-chan, but who turns out to be Gi-hoon. Se-wa becomes friends with Sung-chan, and gradually opens up throughout the manwha. Se-joon's girlfriend discovers Se-joon's true feelings for Se-wa, and breaks up with him. Jealous, Se-joon starts harboring a deep hatred towards Se-wa who he feels has betrayed him, and towards Sung-chan who's stealing what Se-joon believes is his.
During a class reunion, Se-joon meets the real Sung-chan who resembles Gi-hoon superficially. Gi-hoon's sibling and mother died, and Gi-hoon claims that Se-wa stole his little brother's heart for her transplant. His mother committed suicide after Gi-joon's brother's death. He also says that although he initially approached her because of the transplant, he started to develop feelings towards her as their relationship progressed. Se-joon chases Gi-hoon out of the house.
In pent up frustration, Se-joon commits the sin which he feared the most: making love with his twin sister Se-wa. The next day he goes to church to confess. Gi-hoon follows Se-joon and finds out about Se-joon's sin. He confronts Se-joon, who clubs him on the head and leaves him for dead, although Gi-hoon was brought to the hospital by a witness to the attack. Se-joon's fear that someone would take Se-wa away from him caused him to commit his second sin.
Se-joon flees with Se-wa to the old, run down house of their grandmother in the country. Se-wa tried to call Gi-hoon, as she distrusts Se-joon, after what he did to Gi-hoon. Her unstable heart is acting up, without her anti-rejection medications. Se-joon doesn't realize the seriousness of the situation and dismisses Se-wa's concerns. Se-wa starts to cough blood.
