One single choice changes everything.
The beginning of the Tobot Pilot Time AU.
When Kim Nebok let Cha Duri's hand go that fateful night, everything fell out of place.
Filled with guilt, Kim Nebok left Korea to start afresh for a year in Japan wit...
"Alright, class, we have a new classmate joining us for the meanwhile," our teacher announced excitedly to us, as if expecting us to share her enthusiasm. Welp, sorry, Miss, but us Tobot Pilots don't share it at all. Not after the shock we had been given yesterday....
I inhaled softly as I leaned on my chair, noting Hana and Semo's similar reactions. It had hit us HARD, especially Hana. After all, Duri was his twin. They had been in the womb for the same amount of time, and they had been through so much together... So to be betrayed so publicly... I could tell that Hana was trying hard to move past that, but he was failing horribly.
But still, I had to wonder, who would join our class near the summer vacation? It didn't make sense at all....
That was enough to drag my attention to the newcomer as he stepped into the room.
And I nearly did a double take. He looked so... So...!
"Please introduce yourself," our teacher smiled at him, allowing him to relax his shoulders as he faced us.
His first sentence to us would forever stay in my mind.
"Annyeonghaseyo. I'm Kory Char. I hope we get along during the short time I am here!" he then bowed towards us, adjusting his glasses shyly.
We made eye contact for the briefest moment, emerald green orbs meeting brown eyes, and I thought for that certain millisecond that he- He had a familiar gaze.
I frowned in disbelief as I shook myself out of it. What was that? Why was I reminded of... Why was I reminded of someone...?
"Well, let's see. Maybe you can sit near the window, behind Hana," she suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Kory smiled, walking to the seat casually.
I blinked. Something about his posture was familiar too... What was this? This emotion in my heart.... Was it... Recognition?
He then bowed at Hana, a sign of his respect, before he sat on his seat, looking out the window.
"Yes, Seongsaengnim!" we all chorused. Hana, Semo and I had blank tones in our words, but I noticed that Kory seemed out of it as well. It seems like he wasn't the type to care much about lessons.
