Hyeseol's classroom | 5: 30 pm | 2019


Beep Beep!

The sharp tiny sound brings her back on her feet. Both of them glance, their giggles buried by silence. Her wrist emphasizes for a second by the sources. She never wears one before but, she needs to now for the program.

That high technology watch attaches to her like a piece of gum. She won't be able to pull off even for a fresh shower. Only her and Taehyung can see it and owned it.

"15 percent... 85 percent left," Taehyung low voice, sending Hyeseol a reminder in his deep natural tone and Hoseok, who reminds her through those magnetic waves.

The watch, the only boundary to reconnect between two alternate universes, Hoseok guides her behind the screen with Taehyung's help, the only satellite, who revolves between two colliding worlds. Those watches are their time limit. It's a ticking bomb for them.

"Will I be able to finish this? Before the limit?" she asked herself. Just monologue in analog alongside her guider voice in her head.


"why you're so sure he gonna be mine?" Hyeseol mumbled underneath her throat.

"I don't know... at least give yourself a chance," Hoseok whispered.


Hyeseol stares away from the open window, the appealing scenarios that bring back old memories. From afar, she could capture most of the students with their excited face after the gigantic school bell rang a couple of minutes ago.

Probably, planning on hanging out with friends or family members at the high-class restaurant with a wondrous view of the night sky or at an affordable and crowded place with mouth-watering smoky portions of beef.

Some may be dreaming on their cozy cushion or comfy mattress with accompanying slow jazzy music on their headphone, effortlessly, jamming to the slow track, or maybe setting their room into karaoke room with the dark theme of music.

Some might rush home to do their home-study, doing some revision on the topics they had learned in school or self-teaching themselves with new topics in advance.

Whatever the reason is, they don't have uncertainty about what their future would look like. Is the naughty one truly the lowest loser in life? Is the calmy one that will be stuck in the middle cluster forever? Is the brainy one truly a successful product society ever made?

The answer is, no one knows...

Neither Hyeseol nor Taehyung -- who had experienced their 'future'.
