*Minutes later*
-Hwiyoung's POV-
Everything was ready for the departure. I have the equipment on, the watch on my right wrist, and everybody is behind the glass wall while looking at me. I'm feeling my heartbeat going crazy, my hands are sweating, and my knees are shaking slightly. There are things, people, dreams, and hopes that I'm sacrificing for an experiment. I'm giving up many valuable aspects in my life only to understand my father's vision; after all, I don't want to believe that he's a wicked man like many others.
A few moments ago, Dr. Yong gave me his sincere wishes and told me to live a happy life in the other timeline. And right now, my father is standing in front of me, looking like if it was the last time we see each other. He took my shoulders and smiled, but his eyes, not hiding what he honestly feels.
-Dad, do you want me to go? – I asked while looking at him.
-Is there another option for me, son? – My father questioned as an answer, making me shook my head in response.
-Dad, I have a question before I go then. – I pointed out.
-Tell me. – My father looked at me.
-In the other timeline, am I going to have the same life? – I asked curiously.
-Once you get to the timeline you want, you won't travel to the past; instead, you're going to enter another interface that doesn't have any connection with your original space. – My father explained.
-And when I want to get back, what should I do? – I asked, confused.
-Change the year, the number of the day, and the hour. And to get back to this timeline, adjust the clock hands to the line of the center. It represents the space you came from, and the rest are the number of timelines you can use with this watch. – My father said while showing me the way to modify the different settings on the gadget.
I nodded before my father patted my shoulder, and then he hugged me. I smiled at the sensation of having him close to me, not fearing the man that has protected me all my life. But then, he got apart from me and started to walk away.
-We are ready, young man! – Dr. Yong said through the mic.
I took a deep breath before looking around the place, remembering the last seconds before I enter another dimension, another time.
-I'm ready! – I answered back before looking at the watch, and then I modified the settings.
Hour: 09:00 a.m. Day: 6. Year: 2018. Interspace: 2. Let's see where it takes us.
Briefly, I pressed the button on the top part of the watch. I closed my eyes before doing so, and then I felt a cooling sensation over my body. My head felt dizzy, my muscles relaxed as the air began to lack, and the sensitivity on my hands disappeared.
October 06, 2018.
Hour: 09:00 am.
[Seoul, South Korea]
I felt slight pain over my body as I blinked my eyes a few times. The sunlight hit my face as I'm touching my head and briefly focused my sight on the surroundings. Somehow, I'm inside a bedroom with white walls and a wooden floor. The windows open, a desk with multiple art supplies, cameras on the shelves, and an easel against the other window.
Is this my room?
Eventually, I stood up from the bed and started to walk around the room. I want to find any clues of who I am or what's going on with my life. I got towards the desk, noticing a few photos on the wall. So, I took a look at them, seeing that I know all of my friends from SF9.
Inseong-hyung.
I stared at a picture I have with him, and it seems that we are behind the scenes of some photoshoot. And then, I watched the rest of the photos on the surface, most of them were with my friends, and others were only landscapes. Briefly, I noticed the laptop on the desk, so I opened it to turn it on. I waited for it to load while thinking about the things I know, trying to deduce what's my current life. But suddenly, the home screen popped. It didn't ask me for a password, which was slightly odd; however, I didn't care about it and started to search my friends' names online.
"Kim Youngbin. A famous rapper, host, and model. Owner of YB label, a front-runner company inside the entertainment industry.
Kim Inseong. The charming Seoul singer, famous among fans due to his voice and acting skills. He holds a strong bond with famous actor Kim Young Kyun."
I'm an actor like my father wanted me to be, but how do I know all of these guys?
"Lee Jaeyoon. Model, host, singer, and actor. A close friend of singer Kim Inseong.
Lee Sanghyuk, Dawon. Actor and singer, widely known for his plays as an antagonist in drama films.
Baek Juho, Zuho. Rapper, songwriter, and host. Famous for his rapping program along with Chani.
Kim Seokwoo, Rowoon. Singer, actor, and model. Famous for his multiple films and series.
Kang Chanhee, Chani. Rapper, host, and model. Part of the music program for rappers along with Zuho.
Yoo Taeyang. Dancer, singer, actor, and model. Multitalented sensation under YB's label.
Kim Young Kyun, Hwiyoung. Actor and model. New star under YB's label, who got inside the entertainment industry by accident. A graduated student from the school of arts, and master of photography according to his fans."
Taeyang and I; are under the same company. Youngbin-hyung is the CEO, and all of my friends got divided in the entertainment industry.
I took a deep breath before resting my hands on the table, trying to take all the information in without freaking out. Suddenly, my phone rang, making me look back at the bed. I held the phone and saw a text from Taeyang.
I know you!
My relief was beyond the roof when I saw Taeyang's name on my phone, but then I read the texts that continued to come my way.
"Hwiyoung, are you ready? I'm already waiting for you outside. Come, hurry, I want to see you!" – Taeyang.
I shook my head gently before placing my phone in my pocket; I took the keys I saw on the desk and looked at myself in front of the mirror. I'm wearing a light cream-colored sweater with a white shirt underneath, light blue jeans, and a pair of dark brown shoes. My hair is longer than before, and it's a pretty vivid brown color.
Whatever, Hwiyoung. Hurry up!
Shortly, I got out of the room and realized that I didn't see the rest of the house. So, when I closed the door behind me, I noticed it's an apartment with a great view of the city and modern decorations. Everything looked so neat, but I didn't distract myself more with the place since I wanted to see Taeyang. So, I hurried to get out of there and walk my way to the street.
I went downstairs and reached the entrance of the apartment block. The guard greeted me politely, to which I replied kindly. And then, I got out of the building, looking at the sidewalk from all angles, and there's when I saw Taeyang. He's sitting on a stone bard while moving his feet playfully. I chuckled at the way he looks but soon approached him.
-Hwiyoung! – Taeyang smiled happily, getting up and coming my way.
You are here.
-Taeyang! – I said before hugging him, feeling an emotional wave streaming through my body.
-I didn't know you wanted to see me this much. But I'm glad that I wasn't the only one. – Taeyang sincerely said before holding me back.
