Realtime Odyssey 2

Chapter 1 - Under the ivy - Episode 1

(1) Nightmare

"Take a look at this."

Sungchan, who discovered ivy climbing the exterior wall of the dorm, gathered the members' attention.

Anton compared his height to the tall plant as if it were fascinating, and Shotaro and Eunseok who were nearby also looked up at the wall with curious faces.

"Is it the same as the one at school?"

Sohee, who was smoothing the end of the stem, called out to Wonbin. Wonbin nodded at Sohee's understanding.

The wall of the school Wonbin and Sohee attended was covered with ivy. The vines hung down their green leaves to fill the wall in the summer, but dropped their red leaves in the fall, and prepared for the next spring under a blanket of snow in the winter.

And when spring came, fresh light green buds sprouted from every dry stem.

Every time Wonbin went around the track in the playground, he would run close to the long wall. The reason he didn't feel lonely even though he was running alone was because it seemed like countless leaves were waving their hands towards him.

Even after all the members entered the dormitory, Wonbin remained alone to look at the plant.

The times when he passed through the leaves came to mind one by one.

The rain started early in the morning and continued until late at night when I returned to the dorms after finishing my schedule.

"Is it because it rained all day? I feel more tired somehow."

In response to Shotaro's words, Sungchan, who was usually full of energy, trudged up the stairs.

All the members were tired because they spent a whole day learning the changed choreography.

Since additional recording and content filming are scheduled for tomorrow, we decided to take a shower and go to bed right away, but were busy deciding the shower order.

"I'll shower last"

Wonbin decided to be the last one and headed to his room to change first. And when he opened the door, he noticed that the room was immersed in a deeper darkness.

Wonbin's room was always softly lit by street lamps, and even with all the lights off, there was enough light to distinguish objects.

Because of that, he always had to wear a blindfold when he went to bed, but he had a good time getting immersed in contemplation in the adapted darkness, so he left the curtains open......

The room was now at a point where you couldn't see anything unless you turned on the light.

Is it because it rained? Wonbin looked puzzled and turned on the lights.

The brightness of the room was still one level lower than usual.

It seemed strange, so I put my bag down and looked around the room closely before I realized it.

Wonbin went to the window and looked at the leaves of the lush plant. The ivy growing along the exterior wall of the dormitory was already covering the room window.
