I love you.

It took her moments to realize where she was. She stared at her reflection through the glass. Her hair was a mess, bags under her eyes, her cheeks sunken in slightly, and her lips chapped. Her face was drained of color.

She looked like a zombie.

It's been a couple of days since she last spoke to Felix, but she had found a way to visit their world on will. She just needed to focus hard enough until she saw the weird elevator. Every time she did so, she would be tired after or she would forget a lot of things.

"Blythe? What are you doing here? What happened to you?"

Blythe looked at the owner of the voice and saw Kiya. In her hand was a leash that was attached to Soonie. It had been a while since the two last saw each other.

"You look like shit what happened to you? What are you doing in front of the JYP building?" Kiya asked.

"I don't know. I just woke up and the next thing I knew I was here." Blythe answered. It was the truth. It has been the fourth time she came here today but forgetting what she came for. "How have things been?"

"It feels weird without you. When are you coming back to school?" Kiya asked. Blythe shrugged.

"Can we talk for a moment?" Blythe asked. There's a cafe nearby that allows pets to play in a designated area. Blythe ordered a hot chocolate while Kiya ordered an iced americano.

"So what's up?" Kiya asked.

"I met Stray Kids." Blythe bluntly said. "I somehow got into the game and met them and now Felix confessed and I don't know how to feel."

"Did you hit your head? I think the barista here put something in your drink." Kiya started to feel the girl's forehead. "You don't seem sick."

"Kiya I'm serious."

"How, Blythe? How can you prove to me that it's real?" Kiya asked. "Because that is impossible. It's impossible for a program to love and it's impossible for you to even enter the game."

"I'll prove it to you then." Blythe grumbled. She took her phone out and opened the game. She texted Minho to come over to her place while she removed the tape on the camera.

"What are you doing?" Kiya asked scared.

Minho
I'm here. What's wrong?

Blythe took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She focused and saw the image of the elevator in her head. Alarms went off in Kiya's head as she saw the girl go limp, barely catching her friend's head before it hit the table.

"Blythe? What the hell?" Kiya was beyond panicked. Just as she was about to call an ambulance, a notification from Blythe's phone caught her attention.

Blythe
Calm down! I'm safe and in the game. There's an option for us to communicate.

Minho 
You must be Blythe's friend right? You took the robot's body wow. What a cutie.

"This really can't be happening." Kiya mumbled, dumbfounded. She took Blythe's phone and typed.

Kiya
Are you fucking with me right now Park Eunbi?

Minho
Who's Park Eunbi?

Blythe
It's my Korean name.

Kiya
How can I believe that this isn't a trick? You've always played pranks on me.

Blythe
You were walking Soonie when we met in front of the JYP building. You're wearing jeans and a sweater that says 'babygirl' so what's up
