"Where's IU- I meant my phone?" I asked with a worried voice.

"Your phone got taken care off." Said Mr. Jin

"I'm somehow relieved you are safe, Miss real." He added.

He sat down to a chair next to him.

"What are these all about?" I asked him.

"I just want my phone fixed and of course it really was fixed by you but I don't get what's happening." I said. I'm trying to keep my cool.

He looked at me like he's dropping something big.

"3 years ago, a phone was sent to my doorstep. I thought the packaged was sent wrongly to my house because I never ordered one. But it clearly states my full name and everything on it with a code; 'Revelation encounters accidental logic'. I'm never confused my whole life not until I received a call from an uknown number to the phone. A man's voice saying I should give it to 'you'." Saying "there's no time, activate project 'Year 3000'." He paused.

"You must be mistaken. Are you kidding me? I got it on my birthday! It was a gift from my father but nice try. You're making a joke." Aaaah, I hate surprises.

He talked again.

"I activated the app but there's missing. I need a confirmation number to fully activate the project. Your father managed to find a way to send me a message thru a fax machine saying he's in trouble but he forgot to include the needed numbers." He said.

"Inside the package box was a letter saying 'give it to Real on her birthday this coming Thursday. Wait for a call.' but he only called once." Mr. Jin added.

He was standing and started walking towards the table with lots of maps and papers.

"I tried opening the phone. It looks normal. Until somebody just talked and claimed she's from the future. She stated all of what she knows. I never doubted her since she have shown me proofs." He said as he was holding some papers with some writings on it.

"She told me since she's not fully activated, which is a problem since you won't be seeing the app itself. I should deliver her to you... and so I did. I made a letter telling it's from your father, but I made up the letter." He said.

"The nerved!" I was completely mad!

"Silence!" He shouted and looked at me.

"I needed numbers and one day someone just wrote something on my door. 1-8-5-1-1-2." He said.

"That was all I'm waiting for all the time. For almost a year! But that moment, I need the phone, I already gave the phone to you." He added.

I'm completely puzzled.

"I keep my eye on you by sending my people inside your house perimeters every night. IU and I communicated thru a device which connects your signal to our database." He said as he pinned one of the papers on the wall.

"That very moment, my son's turn to check on you, sun is going to set as you were taking a photo. I sent a message to IU to drop the phone on purpose on her will."

That's why my phone dropped! Acck.

"We planned everything. It was my son who picked it up and told you his father, me, fixes phones smoothly. We got your trust. And I immediately fixed the phone and entered the number codes to fully activate the app. And gave it back you immediately." He sighed deeply.
