"i can't believe you arrived here first !" donghyuck exclaimed. "how come ? you're usually so late !"

"are you done ? you've been saying that for days !"

"it's just the fifth time i say it." donghyuck mumbled, shrinking in his seat.

"and you've been here for," he took up his phone, intending to see the time, then put it back on the table, "four minutes. not even five, so you said it more than once per minute."

"so what ?"

"well, it's not like i hadn't told you i would."

"yeah, that's right, be satisfied with yourself."

"oh, but i am." he raised his brows at him. "anyway," he leaned over the table, opening his eyes widely, "you will never guess what just happened to me !"

"what is it ?"

"it was so so weird ! like, what the fuck ? i think you wouldn't even believe me !"

"how about you tell me ? i mean, it's not like i can even try to believe it, when i don't have a single clue of what you're talking about." he rolled his eyes.

"hey, there's no need to get mad." renjun pouted. "i'll obviously explain, tsk."

"quickly, i'm curious."

"yeah, yeah, shut up, then." he rolled his eyes too. "so, you see, while i was walking to get here, someone bumped into me." he said then stopped, to make sure this small information had sinked in donghyuck's little brain.

"yeah, so what ? that's it ? someone bumped into you ? well, i believe you, i even highly believe you."

"yah ! did i say it was all ? i'm not done."

"then why did you stop ?"

"because. you need to assimilate. anyway, as i was saying, someone bumped into me. yeah, then he helped me get up, and all, but that's not important. after that, he told me his name, he's jeno, and i told him mine ; until here, everything's normal."

"you giving your name to strangers isn't normal." donhyuck crossed his arms.

"yah, it's just my name, thousands of people probably have the same. but listen, i'm not done ! after that, he said something like, 'nice meeting you, we'll probably meet again', and that's where it becomes weird."

"why ?"

"after that, he ran off, and i just turned around to see him, but he wasn't there anymore, he had just disappeared ! yet there was nothing he could hide behind, so it's really weird ; the nearer turn was like meters away, he couldn't have the time to run until there, while i was just turning around !"

donhyuck rose his eyebrows. "are you sure there was nothing to hide behind ?"

"i am ! if there was, i wouldn't be so surprised, but i looked everywhere around me ; nothing, there was nothing. it's true that he was running, before percuting me, so it's possible to assume he was running away from x, but if he had the time to stop and chat a bit with me, then it's certainly not the case, so why would he even hide ? beside, it's not all. after that, i realized that... i wasn't hearing anything anymore, but the sound suddenly came back, and... i don't know, nothing had changed. there were people walking in front of me, before i fell, but they hadn't moved a step, during all that time."

"where are you trying to get ?"

"it was like time had stopped." he blurted out.

donghyuck fowned. "i'm sorry, but what ? are you being serious ?"
