It was over.

Ming Yu was the only one in the room. The white walls reminded him of an hospital bed. He analyzed his clothes and surely they were strikingly similar to a patient's clothing so his concluded that he really was inside one.

Where was he? Was he really back home?

Or could this be ...

"No." How could it? That world was the last, this was reality. He's back.

There were no injuries in his body yet he felt heavily weak, sore and stiff. When he tried to pull himself up, the weight was too much for his arms to carry and he harshly fell back down.

The silence. He didn't like it.

With the room empty, Ming Yu's mind was taking him on a trip of memories. The silence was like a replay button that reminded him closely of a certain person that he would never forget. The years spent together with his significant other.

Tears slowly flew out but Ming Yu was smiling and patted his heart to calm it down. 

It was his right to wallow in his painful feelings for a bit. For a short while.

The door slid open and a man vaguely familiar to him came with a nervous grin on his face. The grin faded when their eyes met. He was crying and yet still Ming Yu didn't rush, gently wiping his own tears away.

"Ah ... Ming Yu ge, Yu ge you're awake?"

Who? Ming Yu was sure that he wasn't too familiar with this person to call him Brother.

The stranger handed him a card and Ming Yu suddenly had a fierce struck of realization of what the entirety was all about.

Shen Liangxi

Administrator and Subject Overseer

M.E.M.O.R.Y Project

Even after he was struck, it still confused him as his brain was only half convinced of the truth. Ming Yu's senses in that world were not false. Nothing felt unreal. Nothing at all ...

Yet his heart thumped as if it was telling him that this was in fact, the whole truth.

Shen Liangxi was nervous because he did not know how Ming Yu was gonna take this in.

A big part of the entire experiment was to check if the realism projected was close to reality. To make it so every second spent inside M.E.M.O.R.Y was true.

Now awake, Shen Liangxi was afraid if Ming Yu were to think of it as being lied to, swindled even.

A sophisticated lie.

Who could've thought that the contracted author and his own brother were to fall into a pink rose scented pit called romance making everything complicated?

"Ah, Ming Y- Yu ge. You might not recognized me since we've only met a few times before the project started but in  M.E.M.O.R.Y, It's actually me. Admin? ... how are you feeling?"

Ming Yu quietly stared at him after his introduction. His sight moved from his face down to his toes, slowly digesting the new information that just came out of his mouth. Admin. That damned admin was a real person.

"You don't sound like him."

"Ah that ... well it's a, bit awkward talking to you like this in person." And besides, Ming Yu was staring at him blankly. It was unsettling.

Brother-in-law, please stop staring at me like that. I actually want to curse and freely express myself in front of you but knowing how my brother is right beside this room...
