  "So you mean to tell me there's barely any trace of a portal?" Irene, shocked at Joy's lack of a discovery. Sooyoung pouted at her failure. 

  "Barely any. Even so," The red head pauses, bending down and swiping her finger on the asphalt. "Mr. Park doesn't ALWAYS cover his tracks." Sooyoung grins with satisfaction, revealing the blue syrupy-like substance slowly oozing off her finger. The group cheers for Sooyoung, running in for a group hug with smiles and laughs plastered on their faces. Seulgi was happy too of course, but something seemed a bit strange to her. The blue substance didn't seem to be put in random order; it was spattered to form symbols of some strange sort. He knows we're coming, the bear thought, holding in her breathe.

  "Guys I really don't think this is a good idea." Seulgi exhaled, the others just looking at her with blank stares. 

  "And so what is your plan Ms. Seulgi? Are we going to kidnap every one of us in this dimension and interrogate each one? They have no idea who Mr. Park is in the first place." Joohyun wrapped her arms around Yeri to calm her a bit, muttering something in her ear to soothe her a bit.

  "I'm afraid this is the best trail we have. Even if Mr. Park does know we're coming, he doesn't have the utilities we have." 

  Seulgi bit her lip and nodded in understanding. She nervously ran her fingers through her hair as she watched the JoyRi duo work on the portal to the new dimension Mr. Park has traveled to. Irene as their dominant leader lead the two through construction; their fingers fitting and bolting parts together as if they've done this a million times (and then again, they probably have). The petite leader looked over her shoulder at Seulgi, giving a soft smile.

  "It'll be okay; even when we're separated in this new dimension we'll eventually find our way back to each other." Seulgi smiled back at Joohyun; getting lost in her eyes as if it was another dimension that the bear was craving to explore.

  "It's finished." The red head coughed, exaggerating it to get the duos attention. The pair snapped their heads towards JoyRi's direction and with no surprise the portal looked fully functional and stable. The leader carefully wrapped her fingers around Seulgi's hand and squeezed it. At this point the bear was completely starstruck; she was ready to give anything to be with Irene.

  "Hold hands everyone. It'll be more likely that we be in closer proximity to each other when the spread happens if we're like this." The other quickly obeyed the Bae's instruction wrapping their fingers around each other in a circle.

  "3,"

  "2,"

  "1,"

  The group all jumped into the portal; the blinding light taking over Seulgi's vision.

Seulgi woke up in a classroom; meeting the glare of the sun shining into the room. Her hair was put in a low ponytail and her round glasses were not present. She wore a typical school uniform and her desk was covered in notes and books (one of the notes were not legible due to the fact Seulgi slept on it and therefore drooled on it). The classroom was filled with teenagers and the scent of-

  a fart?

  The bear scrunched up her nose, putting her nose into the handkerchief conveniently put in the breast pocket of her outfit. The boy in front of her snickered, glancing back towards the mono-lid girl to take a glimpse at her reaction. He was a handsome boy, he had striking eyes and had a beautiful smile. Seulgi glared at him for the rude gesture, kicking his chair into his desk resulting in a painful blow to the stomach. The boy moaned dramatically in pain, holding his stomach as if it were bleeding. The teacher sharply turned his neck towards the origin of sound. The boy pointed his finger behind him to Seulgi.
