But how?

Yeri can't get Seulgi out of her mind. She's still under shock on what happened.

How can Seulgi-unnie...

Oh damn. I forgot.

She casually stood up and and faced them. And there they are, sitting like nothing happened. Or should I say, nothing will happen?

"Good morning Yerim!" Seulgi was about to stand up when Irene immediately held Yeri's hand and brought her to the balcony.

"So you're here, the Kim Yerim from the future." Yeri nodded. "I guess you already know what parallel world is."

"Yes but, if I am here, where is the young Kim Yerim?" Irene crossed her arms. "It's still you."

Yeri sighed in confusion. "Okay okay, let's pretend that I get it. So what am I going to do?"

"You have to change the past.You have to stop Seulgi's plan for her birthday. We are not living in the original timeline."

"Then where are we now?"

"The new timeline. The original timeline was supposed to be Seulgi and Yeri, preparing for the out of town travel. But since you came, the past has already began changing." Yeri let out a heavy sigh, slowly processing those informations in her mind.

"You need to succeed Yerim. If you made this happen, you saved our lives as well-"

"Unnie!" Seulgi came from living room, resting her hand on Yeri's shoulder. "I'm going to mall with Yerimmie! Do you wanna come?"

They are watching Seulgi who is happily choosing clothes. "Unnie."

"What do you mean about "saving our lives" huh?" Yeri suddenly asked.

"I visited your timeline last week. I found out that you died in a car accident along with Seulgi. Polices from the 2047 arrested me, and I died in jail. Sooyoung disappeared. Wendy told me these and day after, she committed suicide." Yeri got froze. She literally can't move.

Just because of my failure, we all died.

"That's why I want you to save her."

"Wait, I-I don't get it? I mean, why did they arrested you? Why did Sooyoung-unnie disappeared?" Irene looked at her. "Seulgi is already done, I'll tell you everything later."

Today was so fun for Yeri. She played at the arcade house with Seulgi, bought a lot of stuffs, took a lot of pictures and ate at a famous restaurant with the couple. The came back at their home, tired and happy.

"I'll go sleep now. Yerim-ah, don't forget our trip tomorrow! Goodnight!"

"Are you sure you won't eat for dinner?"

Seulgi shook her head. "Ani, I'm still full."

"Geuraeseo? Goodnight, then. Sleep well."

"So tell me everything, unnie."

Irene sighed, "Are you sure you want to know everything?" Yeri nodded in response.

"I made this watch to save myself from my abusive husband named Park Bogum. He is a celebrity, while I am an inventor. I invented this watch to change my past, and there I met the poor Park Sooyoung."

"She was supposed to be dead because of the Korean War, but fortunately, I saved her. That caused me live shorter than what I am supposed to last. Every time I do travelling, it decreases my lifespan." Yeri didn't muttered any single word.

"I didn't mean to change your past too, especially Seulgi and Wendy. Seulgi was a famous artist in my time while Wendy became an international singer. Our plan is totally illegal in my time. My life became shorter and shorter because Sooyoung keeps on saving others from the other timeline. Months after you died with Seulgi, they arrested me. I didn't know that I only have 2 years to protect Sooyoung. I told her to hide, but I failed. We failed. I died after 2 years of being prisoned in jail and she came back in her time. She died because that was supposed to happen to her. Wendy committed suicide because of what happened." Yeri ended up crying. She can't believe what she just heard.

Irene hugged her and patted her back. "It's okay to cry, baby. Unnie is here."

"U-Unnie.. I'm s-sorry.." Yeri said between her sobs. "I-I'll promise to save her t-tomorrow.." Irene just sighed and nodded her head.

I promise unnie, I will save us from death.
