Min-Sun woke up the next morning staring at the creme colored ceiling. She yawned looking around trying to recall where she was and the events of the previous night. She looked down at the blanket wrapped around her and realized she must have fell asleep on the couch after the movie.

She felt sluggish as she got up from the couch and decided to head towards the kitchen for a glass of water. She had no idea what time it was, only knowing that she had class today. She internally groaned at the thought.

She maneuvered over to the cabinets and reached up grabbing a glass before heading to the fridge pulling the water pitcher out. She poured herself a glass, setting the pitcher back in the fridge before leaning back on the counter. Min-Sun took a drink of water before she sensed footsteps and saw Felix at the door of the kitchen. He had the most incredible bed head and his presence startled her enough to cause her to accidentally choke on the water she was drinking.

"What the heck Felix!" She yelled at him in-between coughing fits. Felix stared at her startled before coming over to pat her back trying to was help her. "Sorry, sorry I was just coming to get some water."

Min-Sun started to wave her hand over at him signaling that she was okay, when in reality her lungs and body were on fire from the surprise attack on her system. She took one breathe in, her throat burning, before looking down and seeing water on the floor. Min-Sun groaned realizing she must have spilled some of her water when she was startled.

She walked over to the cabinets and drawers and began to open them left and right to try and look for anything to clean up the mess.

"Felix where are your towels?" She turned towards Felix who went over to the one drawer she had not checked and pulled out a towel for her to use. She got down and was cleaning the mess on the floor before Jeongin ran in panting.

"What happened? I heard yelling!" He came in in a panic, and Min-Sun had to stifle a laugh.

She tried to explain but couldn't stop the giggles that left her at the thought of the situation. That and the fact that Jeongins sleep pants were bright pink with bunnies on them and his hair was like Felix's at the moment.

"She's lost her mind." Felix said to Jeongin as Min-Sun tried to get a hold of herself. She nodded along with him because in all honestly she really thought she had. She had been in this world almost a month and there was no sign this was a dream and she still had no clue as to how she even got here. She didn't really have any idea where to begin, she had no leads or anything. It wasn't like she had the time to anyways, her life was constantly filled with something.

Min-Sun finished wiping up the water and watched Felix grab a glass for him and Jeongin before pulling out the water pitcher and pouring them both a glass. "What time is it anyways? I forgot to plug my phone up last night." Min-Sun asked putting the towel down on the table, going to the counter grabbing her glass and taking another sip.

She looked over to Felix and his bed head and he shrugged and she looked over to Jeongin who looked about ready to topple over. She went over to Jeongin and tugged his arm to motion him to follow her into the living room. She picked up her phone and stared at the time.

She glanced at Jeongin who sat down on the couch and wrapped up in the blanket that she was using to sleep with. "Hey Jeongin?" He hummed to show he was listening but Min-Sun was pretty sure he wasn't.

"What time do you have class today?" She looked through her messages, responding to Haewon and So-hee. They must have heard from the guys what happened yesterday because they spammed her phone to try and make sure she was okay. After responding to them both, she looked to see if she received anything from the one person she wanted to hear from and saw no message.

"9. I'm so sleepy." He started to close his eyes and Min-Sun laughed lightly. She brought her hand up to brush the hair out from in front of his face. "Go back to bed then, you have time."

He hummed, pulling the blanket tighter around him. "Mmmm sleepy." Min-Sun stiffled another laugh before getting up from her position beside him. "Okay I get it. At least move down and actually lay on the couch so you don't hurt your neck." She tugged his arms and he shuffled around until he was laying on his side facing away from her. She laughed again grabbing her phone taking a photo of Jeongin sleeping, deciding she might use it as his new contact profile. She moved into the kitchen to talk with Felix more and saw that he was busy cooking.

"Hey Felix what time do you have to be on campus today?" He looked up from the frying pan and thought. "Today is Thursday right? I think this is the only day I go in by 8." She thought about it realized he was right because they shared Mr.Kim for literature at 8. "Cool, can I walk with you today?" She sent a text message to So-Hee and heard Felix talking. "Yeah normally on Thursdays Han, Changbin, Chan, and I walk to campus together so you can definitely join."

She felt her chest tighten at the mention of Han. She didn't know how to feel about him at the moment. They had been getting closer as friends ever since the study group two weeks ago, so she thought they were okay. She never received a call back or a message from him, so now she didn't know what to think. She felt stupid for wanting their friendship to mean more than his relationship in that moment.

"Min?" Min-Sun looked towards Felix as he put some of the food he made on a plate and placed it in front of an empty seat before putting the remaining food on another plate for himself. He motioned for her to take the empty seat and she took it glancing over to Felix showing she was listening to him. "Do you think you need to be going to campus today? I mean you did have a shocking day yesterday." He spoke carefully taking a forkful of food in his mouth waiting for her to answer. She looked to the food in front of her before picking up her fork and giving him a truthful answer.

"I'm not completely over yesterday by any means, but if I sit here by myself all day I will just dwell on it. I would rather do something productive than sit here and think about yesterday over and over. Plus you guys are on campus, it would be way better than being by myself." She took a forkful of her food chewing slowly waiting for Felix's response. She was waiting for the look of concern or at least his voice of reason. Instead he nodded getting up putting his dishes in the sink.

"Okay then, do you want to take a shower first or..?" Felix paused waiting for her response.  She thought about it for a second before answering.

"You can go ahead first. I need to make sure I got everything for class today anyways."

He nodded heading out of the small kitchen. Min-Sun got up a few seconds later setting her dishes in the sink and heading into the living room. She walked by the couch where Jeongin was fast asleep towards her suitcase. She opened it pulling out some clothes for the day and before she closed it she noticed a piece of paper sticking out from a pocket in her suitcase. She reached for the paper noticing that her hands were shaking. She pulled out the piece of paper which turned out be an envelop. 

Opening the envelop and unfolding the letter, she began reading feeling the familiar chill racing up her spine.

"This is just the beginning."

Min-Sun placed her hand over her mouth reading the same sentence over and over. Who is doing this? Why did everything else in her room go untouched except her suitcase? This was getting ridiculous. Did she do something so bad that someone decided to terrorize her?

She was pulled out of her endless thoughts with Jeongin mumbling before turning over in his sleep. She looked from the letter to him and then back to the letter not knowing what to do with it.  

She didn't have much time to decide as she heard Felix's door open. She quickly folded the letter before tucking it back in her suitcase as Felix came over letting her know she could go and take a shower.

She decided what she probably needed was a nice shower to clear her thoughts to avoid the swell of nerves that were threatening to take over her body.
