"How? You're—." She stopped me before I finished.
"I've only got a limited of time." She began as I stood and listened.
"Momo needs you, be with her."
"I can't, she won't let me. The others won't let me."
"She's scared and I know that you are too, but your times will collide." She continued, "Without you, she will be in danger."
"What kind of danger?" I asked. Still, I didn't want to know.
"The ones you've faced before."
Right... the near car accidents, the close assaults.

"What about my time? Wouldn't I... die?"
"Trust me, whatever you'll do benefits both of you."
I trusted her in some ways, if I go to Momo will this end?
Will our times be back to normal?

"Go to her. Save her." Mrs Hirai bowed and smiled once more before fading away.

"Dahyun?"
I felt something on my shoulder. I looked back and saw Chaeyoung with a worried expression on her face.
"Are you okay? You've been staring at the mirror." She paused, "And... you're tearing."
I looked back in the mirror and saw a single tear in down my face.
"I'm fine." I said as I wiped it away.
"Okay. Let's go to our lesson." Chaeyoung gestured to the door, she kept an eye on me. I could feel it.

When we arrived at our classroom, I knew that Chaeyoung and Tzuyu were watching me carefully ever since I heard the voices.
But I promised Mrs Hirai to go to Momo, not in school however. My friends won't let me, I should probably speak to her in private.

When the last bell rang I hurriedly exited the school and towards my house. I've already told Chaeyoung and Tzuyu that I have something to do.
Tzuyu was fine with it, but Chaeyoung almost saw through me. She knew that I was planning on something.
"Okay... fine." She said.

As soon as I reached my house I went upstairs to my bedroom that's when I was doubting myself.
Should I or should I not call Momo?
I stared at my phone, not wanting to touch it. To be honest, I was nervous. It was weird to think that I would get nervous to talk to my girlfriend, it must have been the situations.

Ah! Dammit! Have some courage, Dahyun!
I took a deep breath and pressed on Momo's contact. As it started to ring, I tried to rehearse what to say to her.
I didn't know what to say to her.
It's been weeks since I've had a proper conversation.

I looked back on my phone and there was a connection. Frantically, I grabbed my phone and held it close.
"H-Hey." I spoke.
"Dahyun... why are you calling me?" She replied.
"I know that my time is depleting and that's why you're avoiding me again."
"Dahyun, we should leave this—."
I cut her off instantly.
"No. Let me be there with you."
"You know what will happen if you get near me."
"It didn't stop me before, my time doesn't matter. Only yours does."

A sigh came from the other line.
"Telling you the truth was hard. Now putting you through more danger is bad enough, stop being a hero."
"But why can't I let you live?"
"Because I don't want you to die!"

The silence lingers for a moment.
Momo quietened her voice.
"Please, I want you to live a life where you're safe without me there will be no problems. I... Goodbye Dahyun."
"Wait." I jumped in.
"To answer your question to why I called you, is that I wanted to hear your voice again."
"It was nice to hear you again."
She hung up and left me in the silence once again.

Momo was scared, she was scared of losing me. I could hear her voice shake as she was speaking, but I promised Mrs Hirai. I trust her, I mustn't let her down, to let her daughter down.

If getting hurt in the process just to save you, it would always be my pleasure.
.
.
.
Dammit!
Why did I answer so awkwardly? I'm so stupid.
I laid on my bed, screaming at my pillow and scolding myself for this.
I absolutely felt embarrassed.

"Dahyun?" My door opened ajar and I could hear my mother's voice.
"Are you okay, we could hear you screaming."
"I-I'm fine." I lied.
"You can talk about it, I'll listen." She smiled.
That's what I said to Momo.
"It's complicated, I don't know how I'll confront her." It's not easy especially in this situation, at any given time whenever I see her something dangerous comes her way.
Was it all for some kind of test?
A test that only affects us two?
This is strange.

"I know you may not want to tell me, but you're scared. Momo maybe scared as well, but sometimes confronting your problems with each other will solve it." My mother placed her hand on my shoulder.
"It's easy face-to-face, it's more sincere."
I watched as she exited my room and closing the door ever so slowly.
Face-to-face... it would be easy if she wouldn't run away from me.

If my final seconds of my life was so near, I will pour my heart out for her.

-
It's short I know, I'm very sorry, but I want to update this book since I haven't for a month and I'm a bad author for that.
I'll get the last few chapters up at some time so I'll hope you'll wait for that.
