Mary couldn't believe Her eyes, what She saw, simply couldn't be.

"Grandmother, is everything alright?" The woman asked with concern.

Not answering, Mary walked over to Jisung's table half in a daze. The face was exactly as She remembered it from all those years ago.

"J-Jisung? It can't be..."

The Korean rebel smiled, "Hello Mary, it's been a while hasn't it?"

"It can't be..." Mary repeated.

"Do you remember what I told you that night?"

Mary thought and tilted Her head, "You were from the future."

Jisung nodded, "Well, you caught up to me. From your perspective, it's been something like 70 years. From mine, it's only been a few months."

Mary suddenly flashed back to that night and all of it came back. The music, everything. "It is you!"

The young woman who accompanies Her grandmother came up, She then looked to Jisung and then back to Mary.

"Grandmother, what's going on?"

Mary looked at Her granddaughter and smiled, "Lorraine, do you remember the story I told you about the night I got lost during the blitz?"

Lorraine thought for a moment then answered, "Yes, you were with great grandmother and when the air raid siren sounded, you got lost. But this odd man found you at the tube station. He took care of you and played strange music for you. Then He took you home the next day. You told me once He played Dreamies' N-CiTy for you which was amazing and was from the future."

"Lorraine, this is Jisung, the man that took care of me that night."

Lorraine looked at Her grandmother as if She'd turned purple, "You must be mistaken grandmother, that man would have to be more than a hundred years old. That part about the future is just a story."

Jisung smiled mischievously and pulled out His phone, "It's not a story and I can prove it."

After fiddling with His Phone for a moment, He held out a picture for Mary and Lorraine to see. It was a selfie with a 6-year-old Mary and Jisung, "I took that picture on October 9th, 1940 when I was with your grandmother."

Lorraine looked at it in disbelief, "No, it can't be. It looks like pictures of my grandmum at that age, but that just can't be."

Mary just looked at the picture with a happy reminiscing smile.
