"So what you're saying is.... We've possibly traveled back in time to when the whole village went to shit?" Jungkook said running his fingers through his hair. "No offense or anything but that's fucking crazy" he finished his sentence off. "He's right, that doesn't make sense" Kidoh chimed in. "No I'm not saying we did, it's just a theory I have" I said crossing my arms over my chest. "Well what's your theory unnie??" Yuna said looking at choa. Choa shook her head "I don't know, we need answers"

"She's right, and those answers aren't gonna come to us, we've gotta go look for them" Yano said. He was right, but the only problem is, we had no idea where to look, but we had Chiyo, she would help us, there's no reason she wouldn't right? She sat across the room on a chair kicking her feet back and forth not paying attention to anything we were saying which wasn't surprising since she didn't understand korean at all. I walked to her and sat on my knees in front of her. "Chiyo, we need to know more about this place and what's happening, where can we go?" I asked her in a soft tone that I only used when talking to children.
She wasn't a child but she was still a young girl. "Probably the shrine, there are other people there, but they'll probably kill you, unless you're with me" she said, we all decided to take her with us, I don't think any of us planned to keep her for this long, but she was useful, she knew what was happening and how things worked.

We all headed to the shrine. It was the same one we found Chiyo at. "Who's there??" A raspy elderly female voice called out. "Obba-chan, it's me" Chiyo said stepping in front of everyone looking straight ahead into the darkness.

"Who are these foreigners you bring?" The voice called out again. I couldn't see anyone it was so dark. "My friends" she said placing her hands behind her back and leaning forward in a playful manner. "Stupid girl !! How many times have I told you not to bring people here, this is a sacred place, we can't have them contaminating it !!" she said raising her voice sounding angry, she stepped out holding a shotgun pointing it at us, she wore a plain dark grey kimono and her hair was tied back in a tight bun. Chiyo ran towards her, yelling at her to stop and put the gun away. We all put our hands up, no body said a word, kidoh stepped forward. "Please, we didn't come here to tarnish anything, we just want answers" the old woman didn't understand a thing he was saying.
So I translated nervously, I wasn't sure if I messed up a word or not. I don't perform well under pressure and well, having a gun pointed at you by an angry woman was a lot of pressure.
"Obba-chan stop !!" Chiyo begged and pleaded for her grandmother to stop.
Thankfully she listened to her. "Fine, come inside quick" she motioned us with her hand.

Once we were inside she offered us a seat on the floor covered by some sort of matt which made it comfortable.
"What do you want?" She said eyeing me, she knew I was the only one who spoke Japanese. "We want to know what's happening and how we got here, it's 1983 isn't it? We're not in our own time zone, if that makes sense? Long story short, we're from 2015" it took the old woman to process this. She must've thought we were crazy because she laughed at us.

"What kind of joke is this?" She said wiping the tears from her eyes from laughing too hard. We all looked at each other. "It's not a joke" once she saw how serious we all were she smile disappeared. "I can't help you, get out" she stood up.

I immediately got up "no please we need your help, we don't know what else to do" she shook her head and raised her hand. "No I cannot help" she protested. Just as I was about to give up she noticed something "wait... You, Japanese speaker come here" I turned my head and slowly walked towards her, she motioned me to hurry up "quickly !!" She said in a harsh tone.
I stood in front of her. Her hand moved along my neck grabbing the necklace the bus driver had given me. I had forgotten all about it. Once she got a better look at it her mouth dropped open and she looked at me, she shut her mouth and left the room. She was in the next room, she had the door open and we all heard her rummaging around for something. "Where did I put it" she said followed by the sound of something falling over. "Ah-ha !!" She said and came out of the room.

She held up a necklace in front of my face and took her other hand and grabbed my necklace, she put them side by side as if comparing the two.
Her eyes moved up "where did you get this necklace?" She questioned me with a serious tone. I explained to her before all this happened, the bus driver gave it to me and that he'd said I'd need it.

"What was his name?" She asked.
"I didn't know his full name but he called himself toshi" I said cautiously.
The woman looked like she saw a ghost. "Oh toshi !! My boy toshi !!" She cried out. "Where did you see him? Is he here?" I shook my head at her question. "He left us before we came here, he seemed well, did you know him?" I asked. "Know him? He's my son !!" She pulled out a picture from the chest of her kimono and showed me, the picture definitely looked like the bus driver, but younger, I passed the photo around to kidoh, choa, Jhope and the rest of them and gave it back to the woman.

She told us everything about him, about how he was born here, how he grew up here, how he was chiyo's father and how he left before everything went to shit. My words not hers. That was something else that didn't make sense, he gave me the necklace, knowing something was going to happen. Did he know what happened? And what was going to happen to us? If only we could ask him, but we were stuck here and he wasn't.
