"so you found a door in your dorm and it led you here?" yeri questioned. "yep. that is exactly what happened." jungkook said as he placed his hands into his pockets. "are you sure? like you didn't wish for it or something? usually people from earth are brought here upon wishes, that's what i heard at least." yeri said as she shrugged her shoulders. jungkook retraced his thoughts in his mind. he thought back to the moment when he wished he could be away from his hyungs for a day during dance practice. "ah shit. i did wish for it!" jungkook said as he face-palmed himself causing yeri to chuckle.

"oh yeah, can i ask you something?" jungkook asked. yeri hummed in agreement. "what the hell does this mean?" jungkook asked as he showed her the numbers on his wrist which now read "45:45:13". "that is how much time you have here in the Lost Universe of Paratime." yeri said, as she showed him her wrist.

she had way more time than he did. compared to her time, his time was like a grain of rice. "um, i have one more question." jungkook said. "go for it." yeri said. "do you know the song Ice Cream Cake?" jungkook asked, genuinely curious. "oh, the one by the girl group Green Unsmooth? i love that song!" yeri said.

jungkook checked his wrist. it read "20:01:58" he sighed as he leaned back onto yeri's couch. he closed his eyes as he rubbed his temples and started to think of how he even was going to explain his disappearance to the hyungs when he got back. his thoughts were interrupted as yeri's front door opened, revealing a familiar looking face. "NAMJOON HYUNG!" jungkook said as he got up from the couch and jumped onto his hyung.

"what the fuck?" the guy who he assumed was his hyung asked. "hyung, it's me! jungkook!" jungkook said. "doesn't ring a bell to me." namjoon said. "what bell? i'm not ringing a bell?" jungkook asked confused. "pabo. i meant it doesn't sound familiar!" "ohhh..wait how can you not know me?!" jungkook replied. "i don't know, maybe cause i've never met you." namjoon said shrugging. "come on, you've got to know me. maybe this will ring a doorknob to yo-" "doorbell, kid, doorbell. not doorknob." namjoon cut him off. "right right doormat, whatever. i'm sure you'll know me after this." jungkook began. "IREUMEUN JUNGKOOK, SEUKEIREUN JEONGUK!" jungkook sang while dancing. "what the fuck was that?"

"nochu~ come tr-" jungkook said as he was cut off by namjoon. "just quit it kid, i don't know you." jungkook sighed deeply at the older one's words. "i guess he really doesn't know me." jungkook thought to himself.

"oh, oppa, you're back?" yeri said as she closed her bedroom door. "oppa?" jungkook asked. "yeah, this is my brother, namjoon." yeri introduced.
