Day 32

"Lay?" Xiumin raised a brow. He was with Haeri, at the school rooftop. "You asked me who's Lay?"

"Yeah. Don't tell me you don't know him too. The others don't know him as if he never exist," Haeri stated with anxiety in her eyes.

"He's - How come they don't know?"

Haeri feel relief when he asked that question. It means that he still do know who Lay is and know that he existed.

"If you ever meet him again, don't fall for any of his word. I'm telling you who Lay is. Keep it from anyone," Haeri warned.

She told him about Lay that she knows with all of the details. She told him about what had happened the other day. Xiumin was surprised and speechless.

"T-Then what are you going to do? Hurt Sena?" He widened his eyes. "I'm not allowing that."

Haeri looked at him, priceless. She has this 'duh' face. "I'm not even allowing myself to do that, okay? She's my twin sister."

"Who knows," Xiumin grinned. "You should apologize to them."

"I don't think I can even face them. It feels wrong. Very wrong," Haeri covered her face with both palm to calm down.

Xiumin wasn't really sure what to do. He put a hand on her shoulder. "I'll be there to help you. Don't worry. Let's go."

Haeri feel grateful and relieved that she has Xiumin. Meanwhile, Chanyeol and Tao haven't know the whole story about Lay. They're just assuming things.

"Maybe someone was in his body?" Tao suggested.

"Someone? He's possessed?" Chanyeol widened his eyes. "Or maybe the others are just fooling around or have short term memories."

"What short term memories? They still remember you very well," Tao raised a brow.

Chanyeol gaped as his eyes blink. Tao's right. Chanyeol couldn't really think wisely. Somehow, he feel like something wrong is about to happen. But he ignore it.

"Hey," Tao called out as he examined Chanyeol from head to toe. "Why does it feels so different - oh my gosh!"

"What?" Chanyeol panicked. "Is there something on my handsome face?"

"T-Tell me what day is it today?" Tao stuttered.

"Thurs -"

"Not that!"

"Oh. 32nd. Why?" He raised a brow as he take a look of himself at the window nearby that show his reflection. But he didn't see anything wrong. "What are you so shocked about?"

Tao's eyebrows furrowed in concern. He doesn't know how to explain it or how to tell him. He wasn't ready for this moment.

"Yah. I have 18 more days, okay? You don't need to worry or miss me," he joked followed with a laugh.

"It doesn't look like you have 18 more days. It looks more like you only have one hour left," Tao blurted.

"What?"

"We need to go and find Haeri wherever she is. Hurry!"

----

Xiumin keep on pushing Haeri, asking her to approach their first target. Baekhyun.

"Can't I just greet him like I normally does and said that I remember nothing about yesterday -"

"That's gibberish," Xiumin stopped her.

"Geez, you sounded like Sena. A lot," she emphasized.

"Just go. If he doesn't believe you, explain everything to him. Go," he pushed.
