My eyes widen when I see the new student's face.

No... my mind is just playing with me again...

He can't be Changbin.

Changbin isn't real.

So how does someone with the same name and same face even exist?

I lock eyes with the new student while he walks to his desk.

I hear him mutter something under his breath.

Changbin: Felix...

He knows me...

The teacher starts the lesson, but I can't focus on anything other than Changbin.

Teacher: Ok everyone, don't forget to finish tonight's homework. Nobody has an excuse except Changbin.

She dismisses the class and I immediately head outside, needing to tell Hyunjin and Seungmin about this.

Yes, they know about my lucid dreams, and my "feelings," so I'm hoping they'll be able to help.

Changbin: Lix, wait.

That voice is definitely Changbin's.

I walk faster, trying to avoid the situation.

Changbin: Felix, I said wait.

I'm about to turn to the corner, but someone harshly pulls me back and pins me to the locker.

I gasp as my back lightly stings in pain.

Changbin: Oh no, are you okay? Did I hurt-

I try to push him off, but his hands are freaking strong.

He sighs and looks me in the eye.

Changbin: You're... real. You're really my Felix...

Felix: Changbin, let go of me.

He doesn't let go.

Felix: Changbin, please.

He still doesn't move an inch.

Felix: Let go!

I push him with as much force as I can and he stumbles back, giving me the chance to hurry to the cafeteria.

I spot Hyunjin and Seungmin sitting at our usual table and I run over to them.

When I sit down, they turn to me, looking concerned.

Hyunjin: Lix, why are you panting?

Seungmin: Yeah, you look so sweaty.

Felix: Seo Changbin... is the new transfer student.

Hyunjin: The guy from your dreams? No way.

Seungmin: Are you sure? That's really unlikely.

Felix: I'm telling the truth-

Changbin: Lix, we need to talk.

I don't turn around, hoping he'll take the sign and leave.

Changbin: Felix, please stop ignoring me.

I turn around, thinking of what I could say that'll make him go away.

Before I get the chance to, though, a senior stands on one of the tables.

Hyunjin: Isn't that Kim Yonghee? The 23-year-old senior?

As if Changbin knows her personally, he quickly looks at her.

Yonghee: Hello everyone! Can I have your attention?!

The whole cafeteria goes silent.

Yonghee: I want to tell you all something very important, so please listen up! You guys know the new transfer student, Seo Changbin, right?

So they do know each other?

I started listening closer, curious about what she's gonna say.

Yonghee: Well, he and I are going to get engaged this week!

Everyone in the cafeteria starts screaming and cheering.

But all I can hear is the sound of something shattering into pieces.

I look around to see what broke, but then I realize...

It's my heart.
