☆SEUNGMIN

I realized that he wasn't that different from the Jeongin that I know. He was funny, sweet and absolutely adorable. But I felt guilty. It's like I'm replacing him. To be honest, I didn't know what the hell to do. Either continue talking with him and ignore my guilty feeling or stop being friendly to him and give in to the guilt. He makes it so difficult to stop liking him. I really wish I didn't meet him. Then I wouldn't know what this struggle is.

My head hurt for thinking too much. Or so I thought. It was the same pain as last time. I held my head in pain. "Are you okay!?" Jeongin asked, worry stamped on his features. "I-I'm fine," I said, which wasn't exactly a lie because the headache was slowly disappearing.

I saw Hyunjin and Jeongin exchange looks from the corner of my eye. I had this eery feeling that they knew something, however, I couldn't figure anything out. I decided to just ignore it.

"So...how long has it been happening?" the nurse asked me. "Uh...since yesterday..." I replied, my eyes on the floor. "Have there been any other symptoms other than fainting and headaches?" the nurse asked, writing something on her checkboard. 

I ended up fainting and was sent to the nurse along with Jeongin at my side. He was currently sitting down in a chair beside my bed in the nurse's office.

"No," I replied. "Hmmm...ok. I think you're free to go for now." the nurse said. I gladly got out of bed, fighting the dizziness. "...After you take some pills," the nurse said, stopping me from taking another step. Jeongin helped me lay down again, his body close to mine.

The nurse went to a tiny table in the corner of the room and prepared the pills. "Would you like to take it with water?" she asked. "I don't want to take any," I said. "Ok, no water it is!" the nurse said, misunderstanding what I had said. "No, I meant I don't want to take any pills." I said firmly. She turned to look at me.

"Don't be stupid, you need to take pills!" she scolded, bringing the tablet and a glass of water to me. "I really can't," I said, panicking now. "May I ask why?" she asked. "Uh...they don't do well to my stomach!" I lied. She paused for a minute. "V-very well," she said, taking the pills and glass of water away. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Why did you lie?" Jeongin asked, breaking the silence. We were walking back from the nurse's office. I looked up at him in surprise. How did he know I was lying? "I-it was obvious," he said, as if he could read my mind. "I didn't," I lied, even though I knew it was no use to try to lie. "Suuure," he said. However, he didn't pursue the topic any longer, which I was definitely thankful for. 

"Should we head to our first class?" Jeongin asked. "Do we have the same?" I asked. "Roommates always have the same," Jeongin said. "Oh, that's cool!" I said. "Yep,"

We headed to our dorms to check out the timetable. Jeongin was right, roommates do have the same classes, along with another set of roommates. Basically, each grade is split into four groups. Each group has 16 students, which is equivalent to four sets of roommates (a/n: don't ask me what the hell im doing cuz i don't know)

Our first class is science, so Jeongin and I headed out of the dorm to our class.

☆JEONGIN

He thinks I don't know why he lied. He thinks I don't know anything about him. 

He's wrong.

The truth is, I can read minds. Everyone has their own special talent here. For example, Hyunjin can run faster than lighting, Felix can manipulate the sun (however very limited access since each time he does that he can't do it again for another year or so and every time he is absolutely drained of energy), and I can read minds.

He doesn't know that I know everything he has been thinking. 

I try my best to control myself since it's not nice to look into someone's mind and know their private stuff. But I can't help it. Sometimes I want to take a little 'peek' but end up knowing more than I should have.

Like Felix, I do have limitations. Actually, everybody's powers have limitations. The more dangerous the more limitations. An example is Changbin. He has the power of great strength (like lifting up a whole house kinda strength). He can only use it every five years. I can only use my power two times a week. Not bad. But I'm kinda disappointed cuz I already used up my two times. Although I should be grateful that I can use it that frequently. However, Hyunjin can use his once every day. Twice if he's lucky.

Also, everyone here has some of the same powers. They're basic, but it's the normality here. Everyone here is super smart (if you have the power of wits, you are smarter than the 'normal' here), super strong (again, the power of super strength allows you to be stronger), and super fast (same thing again).

When I found out that people from the other dimension are weak I was surprised. This is normal to me. But our dimensions are different so it is not a surprise.

I found out that a portal to go to and from the other dimension was opened from the news. I didn't think much of it until I met Seungmin. I realized he is different from looking at him closely. Reading his mind made me find out that the alternate dimension 'me' died. When I saw the news I had a small hope that I would meet my other 'me'. I think everyone here did.

But he died.

And he was Seungmin's best friend. I was able to understand that the other me was Seungmin's best friend. I pity him.

But that still isn't a reason for him to hate me. I'm not him. I'm a different person and I didn't choose to be his alternate dimension self. I wish I wasn't 

Then I could really be his friend.
