XXXI: Wilted Flower
The Other Side | Unseen realm that influences the familiar world, hinting at hidden forces or dimensions that shape reality.
The sun hung high in the sky, casting warm rays over the school grounds as Iris and Minho strolled hand in hand, their faces lit up with joy.
They exchanged playful glances, the kind that made the world around them fade into a blur.
"Following us to school is a bit insane," Iris chuckled, turning her head slightly to glance back at the police car creeping along behind them.
"Seriously, such dicks," Minho scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief. "I could be making out with you, and they'd still be watching like it's some twisted reality show."
Iris pouted in annoyance. "I wonder when they'll leave me alone," she said, glancing back at the tall male beside her.
"I don't know, but it better be soon," he replied, his voice low and serious. "We don't know how much time we have left before you shift back to the parallel realm. If you disappear suddenly, it'll just raise more suspicion."
"Yeah, you're right," she replied, wrapping her arms around herself as a shiver of unease ran through her.

Minho shot Riki a look, narrowing his eyes.
"Riki. You look like you just rolled out of bed, again. Maybe I should lend you my hair gel. It's the least I could do for your tragic situation."Riki flipped his hair dramatically, pretending to consider the offer. "Please, this is called 'effortless charm.' You wouldn't understand because you're too busy chasing after Iris to pay attention to your appearance."
Iris giggled at their banter, feeling a warmth spread through her as they fell back into their familiar routine.
"You're both so busy trying to roast each other that you're forgetting I'm right here!" she laughed, shaking her head.
