I swear I remember closing my curtains before going to sleep last night, so why is the sun blinding me right now?

It's way too early to wake up, especially on a Sunday and I'm ready to bet it's only seven in the morning. Ah, the joys of being unlucky.

I still stayed in bed with my eyes closed for a moment, I really didn't want to see the sun right in my eyes but I knew I had to eventually get up, even if it was only to close those damn curtains.

I sat up, rubbing my eyes and getting mentally prepared for this day. I was still tired, after all I went to sleep late last night but that's my problem.

Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw when I opened my eyes, though.

"Why is J-Hope all over my walls?" I yelled, seeing that all of my Stray Kids merch was no longer in my bedroom, replaced with BTS.

Well now I was really up and ready to run into Ajax's room. This was certainly one of his pranks, knowing that he thinks I'm annoying with my Stray Kids obsession.

I walked in without knocking and I hurriedly took his headphones off, as he was playing online with some of his friends.

"The fuck do you want?

- Where did you put my Stray Kids merch?

- Stray what now?

- You know who I'm talking about, don't play dumb. I know you're the one who replaced it all with BTS stuff. Now give them back!

- Bro, I actually don't know what you're talking about and I'd never touch your disgusting K-Pop stuff anyway," he made a disgusted face as he said the last half of his sentence.

I grunted and unplugged his computer, if that was what it took to get him to speak about what he did. I mean, I'd do anything to get my Han photocards back.

"What is your problem for real Gab? I said I don't know what you're talking about you've always been a BTS fan why are you acting so weird all of a sudden?

- Stop gaslighting me!

- I'm not!"

I was really getting mad so before I did something I would have regretted, I went away and walked back to my newly decorated bedroom.

J-Hope was actually a pretty good decoration on my walls, but I still wanted my other things back and it angered me that Ajax was playing that game with me.

I took my phone from my bedside table and even my wallpapers were changed to J-Hope and Suga! I don't know what he had against me but he was gonna pay for it. I had deleted those pictures I had of Han as my wallpapers. Ìt'll take me years to find them again.

I decided I would search Stray Kids up on Google and go back to my brother so he could stop pretending to not know them, but when I hit research there were no results found. Weird. Now no one wanted to cooperate with me today for real.

Then, I went to Instagram, but still no trace of my favorite group. All the others were there, but not them. I really started to get worried about this, because I knew deep down that Ajax wouldn't have been capable of erasing them from everywhere.

I went to the kitchen and saw him there sitting at the table and when he noticed me he gave me one of his usual death stares.

"Do you actually not know Stray Kids? The ones I saw in concert two years ago?

- Two years ago you went to a TXT concert. I remember you were annoying as fuck with your Taehyun. Did you take something last night?

- I did not! I swear they exist it's just weird because I see no trace of them anywhere I search for them!

- Maybe you just had a really vivid dream. It happens sometimes," he shrugged and took a bite of his toast.

I don't know what's going on and I also don't like where this is going. Why does it look like they don't exist anymore?

"I gotta go to dance practice this morning, I'll come back around four," Ajax got up from his chair, he rinsed his plate and picked his gym bag up. I noticed he already had his shoes on, which made me cringe since he probably made the floor dirty, but what concerned me the most was what he said about dance practice.

"Since when do you dance? Why didn't I know that?

"Gab, please check if you have a fever, you're really worrying me."

And just like that he left me alone. I cannot believe my ears. I don't have a fever, I already know that but I'm also starting to get worried, because if I'm only having a dream right now, it feels real, like too much.

But as I winced in pain from the pinch I gave myself, I soon found out I wasn't dreaming at all and I didn't know if I should have been relieved or even more stressed out. Did I just wake up in another reality or something?

That could have explained the opened curtains too, after all that's why I had to wake up this early.

Well, if I did believe that Stray Kids didn't exist anymore and that I am in another reality, I should explore it. Do I even have a job here? Why is Ajax a dancer now? Where are the members right now? Are they dead? Why am I seriously starting to think J-Hope is hot as fuck? I mean, he was always hot but now it's even more.

Questions were all over the place in my head and I got the urge to go out in the city. I just really had to go breathe some air. I grabbed my shoes and put them on before taking my bag along with my keys and I locked the door after closing it behind me when I got out.

At least it was sunny and everyone outside seemed to be living normally. Another weird thing I saw, though, was that the usual homeless man that hung out not so far from our apartment was no longer a man, but a woman. She still seemed to be in great misery, unfortunately.

I relaxed a bit when I took a deep breath in of fresh air and I looked up to the sky as I exhaled. I could easily avoid the people I encountered on the sidewalk but one person decided to bump into me I guess, because soon after, my butt hit the ground and my peace was abruplty replaced with annoyance.

"I'm so sorry miss, I was in a hurry and didn't see you," I saw a hand in front of my eyes. "Are you alright?"

I think I'm hallucinating. I must be hallucinating, because why the hell was I hearing the exact same deep voice as Felix's?

I knew I was too scared to look up, so for the time being I only accepted his offer to help me up and once I was back on my feet, that's when I met his eyes. There was no doubt, I bumped right into Felix.

He had a mask on and his hoodie was hiding all of his hair, but only by his eyes and his voice I could recognize him, anyone could recognize him.

"Felix?"

I saw how his eyes lit up with hope as he quickly removed the hood from his head.

"Do you perhaps know me?"
