It seemed I didn't kiss the wrong person.

I looked at Howard and back at the man on the bed, sighing in relief. "You two are identical. Even your voices are alike…"

The man on the bed finally stood up. He extended his hand for a handshake.

"Ms. Yvette Quince, my name is Hector Webb…" He paused, looking at Howard and me meaningfully. Then, he continued, "Howard and I are twins. I'm sorry. I was just fooling around."

It turned out Howard and Hector were twins, born barely a minute apart. Aside from the slight difference in personality, they were practically peas from the same pod.

Staring at them, who even had moles at the same spot, I couldn't help but ponder. No one would've known who was who if they never clarified. Likewise, I wouldn't even know if I were going to bed with the wrong person.

"Babe, will you get mad because I brought Hector along without your permission?"

Howard pinched my cheek. His fingers seemed to hold the power to ease my awkwardness with a mere touch.

The date I expected was interrupted. However, seeing as how Hector was as striking as Howard, I naturally told Howard not to worry.

After what happened, I no longer had the desire to do anything. Just then, I felt hungry, so I suggested we eat dinner together.

I said, "There's a place nearby that sells splendid stews. Let's have dinner and come back to have a good rest—"

Before I could finish, Hector, who'd been staring at me, said, "I heard there's a countdown event at Amesville's Sky Palace. Why don't we join in the fun after dinner? I think you'd like it, Yvette."

Upon hearing that, I subconsciously looked at him.

Sky Palace was the best place to be for the New Year's Eve countdown event every year. It was a particularly suitable place to hang out for couples, as many of the activities held there could help increase intimacy.

I originally planned to visit the theme park with Howard. It was a romantic place and a good choice to meet up for the first time.

Besides, couples would give in to their inner desires in secluded spots around the theme park. Under the influence of the atmosphere, I believed Howard and I would go along with the flow.

However, with Hector tagging along, that plan was no longer a priority.

I mentioned that theme park to Howard once, but right then, he seemed baffled, as though he'd never heard about it.

I was puzzled, but I put that feeling behind me soon enough as he started groping me around the waist.

Although I really wanted to be intimate with him, we still had to figure out a way to kick Hector, that third-wheeler, out of the picture.

However, Hector was staring intently at us as Howard and I made eye contact. It was truly very awkward.

There was a brief moment when I even saw a flicker of intense passion burn in Hector's eyes. He was staring at me as though I were prey. My chest tightened, and I couldn't refrain from taking a step back.

As expected of the largest theme park in Amesville, Sky Palace was crowded. It was fortunate that the theme park covered an extensive area and could hold a great number of patrons.

Many activities were being held tonight. Shouts of joy could be heard all over. We chose to visit a booth with less crowd—the haunted house. It was huge. 30 people were allowed to enter each time.

The moment I stepped into the facility, I screamed at the sight of a female ghost with long hair. Howard and Hector immediately shielded me behind them.

Standing on either side of me, they protected me like my guardian angels.

"Don't be scared."

I instantly felt secure with two handsome men almost six feet tall protecting me.

It could be that they had such strong presences that I could sense the envy in the gazes of the women around me.

"Wow, those hunks are protecting the same woman!"

"Good lord, she must be so happy… They are twins!"

"I wonder which one is her boyfriend. But if I were to choose, I'd have them both," someone said, laughing.

Another giggled. "In your dreams!"

Shrieks sounded throughout the haunted house. Those women must've thought I couldn't hear them when they'd lowered their voices.

I calmed down and glanced at the man on my left. Then, I looked at the one on my right, who was closer to me. Tentatively, I called out, "Howard?"

I thought the one on my right was Howard, but a voice answered me from the left, "What's wrong?"

The moment he answered, his face stiffened for a second. Then, he tilted his head at the other man. "She's calling for you, Howard."

Finally realizing we were in an odd position, they adjusted their standing positions.

Unexpectedly, a large, screaming crowd flocked toward us the moment they stepped further away. The crowd separated us.

Before I could look around for them, a headless ghost covered in blood staggered toward me.

At that moment, large hands wrapped around mine. "Run, babe!"

Without hesitation, I ran after him.

We ran for at least three minutes and only stopped when we were sure nobody was around.

Howard found a secluded room around the corner and took me inside. I tried to calm down my pounding heart. Only after a while did I realize Hector wasn't with us.

"Where's Hector?"

"Forget about him. He's a grown man. He can't get lost in here now, can he?"

Howard might've thought that Hector had interrupted our date, too. Looking aggrieved, he bent forward and rested his head on my shoulder.

"Oh, babe, I finally get to spend time alone with you."

I gently punched his chest with a smile. "Why would you bring him along, then? Otherwise, we would've still been in the hotel room…"

I was straightforward, so he naturally understood. Something seemed to play in his mind as his gaze dulled for a second. Then, he hugged me.

"It's all his fault, that third wheel. He interrupted our date. But it's fine. We can pick up where we left off…"

    The next moment, Howard kissed me. I was giggling, not taking him seriously. However, it turned out he was serious about it. He wanted to do it right there and then!"Howard, what are you doing?"I couldn't help but feel anxious at that thought. Stuttering, I stopped him. "Don't scare me. We're in a haunted house. If someone—""What are you afraid of? I looked around. This is a blind spot with no surveillance cameras."Things started to get steamy.Somehow, Howard seemed rushed.

"Babe, what are you thinking about? It's a great opportunity right here. So many people are out there being chased by ghosts, yet inside here…"I couldn't bring myself to listen to him.

    I didn't know how I ended up back in my bedroom. As I sat on the bed, I was still dazed.At that moment, I snapped out of my joy in finally meeting Howard. Calmly, I went through the events of the night. I had the feeling that I'd been in a weird situation ever since I met Howard.Be it the kiss at the door or the intimacy we shared in the haunted house, I never knew who I really was with.Howard and Hector had been trying to keep their identities ambiguous.Could it be that the one I kissed before was Hector? That was why they exchanged identities to avoid embarrassment. That seemed reasonable as Howard was behaving very differently in the haunted house.What did their conversation mean? Questions emerged in my mind.Before I could make sense of it all, there came a knock on my door."Babe, are you asleep? I ordered supper.

    As Hector's voice trailed off, he followed with a slap to my face. Not satisfied with that, he tilted my chin upward and grabbed my neck hard."We're going to do this. Don't worry. There's more. I'll get the things ready."I inched backward, staring at Howard, who'd done nothing and was merely watching us."Why? Why would you do this to me?" I demanded.Right then, his face was void of the warmth it had when he told me he liked me. In its place was a look of indifference.It was as though whatever was going on had nothing to do with him. He even handed a tool to Hector."Don't look at him. Look at me," said Hector.He turned my face toward him and slapped me again. He glanced at Howard, saying, "See? I told you she'd like it, but you didn't believe me. Do you believe me now?"I was only reacting that way because of the beer! The beer was spiked, so I couldn't even put up a fight. Yet the way he put it was as though I were being compliant.Hector seemed pleased to have me under
