Hyunjin's POV:

I woke up slowly, afraid I'd wake up again in Incheon and not in my body. Luckily, I was still me.

I got out of bed and to the bathroom. On my way, I noticed a box on top of my desk. I remembered Eunbi insisted on coming to "give me something.", maybe it was hers.

After showering, I got ready to leave to office.

"Oh Hyunjin, good morning." My uncle greeted me.

"Good morning!"

"Today's nothing much to do, so you can relax a bit." He smiled and handed me some papers. I bowed and turned to leave.

"Ah Hyunjin, one more thing."

"Yes?" I turned back to him.

"Your father wants to discuss some things with you, so we've arranged a meeting next Wednesday."

"What things?"

"I'm not aware of that, I'm just following orders."

"Do I really have to meet with him?"

"Correct."

"Okay."

Since I left I've only seen my father twice, gladly. I didn't really want to see him, but there's nothing I could do about it.

Aeri's POV:

3 days and nothing, we didn't switch again. However, I couldn't just chill about it. We could switch back anytime, apparently, and the fact that there were so many obstacles frustrated me significantly.

The sun was almost setting - I decided to go for a walk to the beach. Maybe that'd help clear my head a bit, or even find a way to bring the shell back.

The sky was painted with orange and purple - today's sun's choice. I really enjoyed walking barefoot on the sand and water, also the sea breeze made it a perfect combo.

As I walked, my phone buzzed. I didn't really want to take it out - but since I didn't know if it was important, I really didn't have a choice.

Minho
I haven't been able to give you the present. Can we meet tomorrow? I want to see you.

Me
You bought me something?

Minho
I told you the day we arrived, did you forget already? I'm hurt.

Shoot, that was the day I switched with Hyunjin. Maybe he read those messages.

Me
Oh right! Sorry! Sure we can meet tomorrow!

Walking as I typed back, I didn't bother to watch my steps. As I eventually put my phone away, I stopped at the sudden realization.

I was near the cliff. The same cliff where everything happened, and I didn't even know. I felt so confused, because as far as I knew, although I was living in Incheon, my apartment wasn't that close to that section of the beach -or that's what I thought. Maybe I'm that clueless.

Without thinking, I kept walking to get closer. No reason, I just felt like I had to.

I noticed I was kind of alone, there wasn't many people at the beach; there was only a small family by the tree side, and a woman straight ahead of them with her feet in the water, probably the mom.

As I got closer, the woman stared at me- even making me feel uncomfortable. I thought of walking past her without looking making eye contact, you don't know people nowadays.
