K: We're identical. I mean, we look exactly the same, but we

complete (opposites) when it comes to everything else!

J: Interesting. It must be great having a twin sister. Are you best

friends, too?

K: We used to be really close, but that all changed once she moved

to Shanghai. How about your family? You didn't (mention) to your

biological father.

J: I don't know much about him. He died when I was just a baby.

Even though I don't have a blood relationship with my step-father

and step-brother, I consider them to be my real family.

K: What about your step-brother's mother? Does he keep in touch

with her?

J: No, she also died when my step-brother was little. My mother and

my step-father met each other shortly after my father died and

became good friends. They ended up getting married a few years

later.

K: Sounds like it was ment to be.
