7: The Bell Of Utter Confusion

"S-Stop! Please!"

What... What is happening?

"D-Don't push me! Please, don't!"

No way...

I was standing far away on a ground that I assumed was a school's field. My hair was in a mess and I had another uniform wrapped up on my body. Even though I was far away, I could still see what was happening on the rooftop.

The first girl was standing, safely within the boundaries of the rooftop while the other one was literally hanging down from the railing, just her hands and legs supporting her trembling figure. She gulped again and again when the wind blew over her while the other girl inside the boundaries just scoffed at her.

Who is she?

I walked closer only to get shocked at the glimpse... A girl was pushing me from the rooftop...
I kept looking, trying to get a clearer view of the girl who was standing safely but none... Her face was completely blurred. I couldn't get a vivid image of her face. All I could see was the girl who was trying not to fall. And... It was me...

"Please don't kill me!" She begged while crying her eyes out. If she could, she would've joined her hands infront of her.

"No... You deserve to die for what you've taken from me. A precious gem... My gem! How could you?!" The blurred girl shouted with a hint of anger and jealousy in her voice.

It was all like a movie before my eyes. As if the past memories were trying to alert me. Trying to let me know something... To know who the blurred girl was...

"I-I was just saving you, why hurt me?" The girl who looked like me spoke while tears escaped my eyes. It was now getting intense. As if I could feel every emotion she was feeling. All that fear, pounding of the heart, and most importantly, the feeling of hanging right between life and death.

"Go die. At least after that, I'll have peace to myself. And I'll redeem back every single piece you stole away from me!" The blurred girl spoke in vengeance before completely pushing off the girl from the railing. She screamed in fear before her legs twisted off of the building and she started to fall down with her red, blank eyes.

"N-No... NO!" I yelled in fear. I tried running towards her but my legs got stuck... They got stuck in a specific place... As if they couldn't walk any further. It made me feel helpless...

...

"STOP!" I woke up and started to breathe heavily with cold sweats forming on my forehead. My eyes started to droop repeatedly in weakness.

I soon sighed when noticed myself laying on a bed with purple curtains beside me.

What...

It was a dream...

But it felt real-

"Oh... So you're awake, huh?" I gasped and peered towards the owner of the arrogant voice.
He like always, had eyes void of any emotion and was holding a tray of food in the grips of his hands.

Without saying a word, he came near me and kept the tray of food on the nightstand. He soon regained back his posture and rolled his eyes.

Rude...

But wait.

How the hell did I reach here?! Wasn't I in Gam-Dong Street?

Is he...

No way!

"Y-You... How did I get here? I was in Gam-Dong street... How the hell did I reach here?!" I asked him with a scoff in shock. Actually, I was very nervous and scared. There was no one in the street and neither would anyone like to take such a big risk of going into the lion's den. Then, how did he...
