Twice one-shots :)

Then | Nahyo

A/N: I didn't think of this AU because I'm not creative enough.

Jihyo was waiting in line. She had been waiting in line for about an hour, contemplating if this decision would be worth anything to her. She supposed she should hurry with the contemplating part. There was only two people ahead of her in the line, undergoing the scanning in silence.

Jihyo thought about the scanning for a moment. She didn't think she had done anything in relation to a criminal record during her 22 years of life. Maybe nothing except for when she stole that chocolate bar from the store when she was 6. But she supposed that didn't count. If she had done anything, the scanner should pick it up any way, so she didn't need to think about it.

It was her turn. She walked up to the the machine and stepped inside. It was over in a second, the scanner's interface glowing green when it deemed her good enough to proceed.

There was no turning back now.

She turned a corner down a long white corridor into a room. It was plain with a small control panel inside splattered with a few wires and buttons.

Park Jihyo

The operating system's generic male voice greeted her as an electronic door slid shut behind her, sealing her inside.

Welcome to your one and only time travelling experience! Keep in mind, this is truely your one and only chance to travel backward in time. You cannot return after you continue. Do you still want to proceed?

Jihyo paused. Did she still want to proceed? Did she want to go back in time and NEVER return? But an image of a park bench floated to her mind. A park bench and a hand. A warm hand that she had held, so long ago.

"Yes." She said firmly, believing it truely.

Thank you for participating! Please step up to the control panel. You will see two wires. One blue and one green. Please connect each to your temples using the tape provided. The blue to your left, the green on your right. Alert me when you are ready to proceed.

Jihyo did as she was told. She felt a slight buzz as the wires touched her skin.

"I'm ready." 

When would you like to go?

The operating system asked. It was a funny question, but Jihyo had the answer already on her tongue.

"The 4th of September, 2133."

You would like to travel back to: The 4th of September, 2133. Is this correct?

"Yes."

Please stand by. Calibrating...

Jihyo sighed deeply. How many years had it been since that day? It might have been four or five, but Jihyo had lost count of the days long ago. She suddenly felt tired, the realisation hitting her that this was really happening and that it would be all over soon.

Calibration complete. Please keep in mind that it is forbidden to communicate with one's past self during your lifetime in the past as it may have the possibility of ripping an irreparable hole in the space time continuum. Do you wish to continue?

"Yes."

Please press the red button. Enjoy the times gone by!

Jihyo pressed it. Nothing happened for a few seconds.

Process complete.

The door slid open behind her. She looked at her watch. She had only a few minutes to make it to the park. She ran.
