Omen - [EDITING]

[ Encounter ]

I shrug the arm off my shoulders in mere annoyance before clearing my throat.

Both pairs of eyes of our visitors were directed to me, considering how I'm the only female out of all. The man in front taps his hat once more before placing it back on his head. I was expecting for a special badge for him to draw out from his coat, but my thoughts didn't fully predict what might happen.

"Good day to you, Miss Jang. We're staffs from the Black Snow Co. company. My name is Roy Jung and this is my secretary Park Sungwon." 

I frown at his statement. The thought that these men knew my surname when I didn't tell them freaks me out. They may have done their research, but it's still too upfront for anyone to casually say your name when it's their first time meeting you. If they've done some background research on me, I'll assume that I'm in the middle zone of being safe and in danger. 

Moreover, it is rather strange for these men to straight up reveal their identities, but they have no idea what I've found out about their motives. It is all thanks to SeokJin's abilities and I'm sure they're still trying to find leads. 

That's why they're here. 

They want to extract something and bring it back to their CEO and those names may not be their actual names 

I nod, which usually happens when I have nothing to say. I don't attempt to shake their hands, displaying fully how doubtful I am towards their introduction. In this case, I just don't want to waste my energy talking since I have SeokJin to deal with. 

"We've sent one of our men to confront you in regards to your Father, but unfortunately, we haven't gotten any responses from him. Did our man happen to approach you face-to-face?"

I don't take his words into account and force myself to rub my temples, displaying irritation once more. I sigh and completely forgot the person standing beside me this whole time. 

"Look, I have no idea what you're talking about. I have classes in a few more hours and you've arrived at the wrong time. Plus, I've never witnessed anyone coming to my home and what has my Father got to do with this? He's never told me that he's associated with your company." 

I raise my head up to face the two men who have a placid expression on their faces. 

SeokJin slings one arm around the shoulders Roy and by instinct I frown at his demeanor. The man doesn't budge or even question SeokJin's behaviour and in return gawks at me in an unfazed manner. It feels as if SeokJin's presence is nothing but mere, light particles.  

"Because this is only a dream, princess. Wake up." SeokJin mutters with a sly grin on his lips. 

My stomach churns once more and dizziness drops its weight on me. 

My eyes jerk open and I breathe out slowly to grasp what had just happened. 

I have no idea what's roaming in my head other than confusion and irritation. Had I been dreaming this whole time after passing out from SeokJin's harsh behaviour? Have I been unconscious this whole time? How long has it been since that occurred? Why didn't I notice anything obvious from before?

The faces of the two men had disappeared in the blink of an eye and I realised that it's only just a dream. The thought that frightens me is how I know what these two men look like. It was so clear, as if I knew them before. Their features painted in my mind were so clear that it surprises me. One looked young as the other looked old. They resembled those of the authority.

It was only supposed to be a dream. 

How did I grasp such a clear image in my mind without even grasping who they were at first glance? Why does it feel as if I've known them before, but I actually don't?
