The next morning, after having breakfast alone, Jungkook and Namjoon arrived at the mansion to take me to 'someone' that could provide some insights to my time travel. How did they find this person, I had no idea. But if that special someone could help me, I would be more than glad.

When I woke up by the sound of Yoongi and Taehyung coming back, it was also when Jimin left. Now, when Yoongi and Taehyung were taking a rest after a long night of working, I went out with two other handsome men. Somehow, I was still upset over the serious chat between me and Jimin last night.

"Who is that person?" I was sitting in the back of the car, while Jungkook was driving and Namjoon was on the passenger seat.

"She is my great-grandmother's friend." Jungkook answered.

"How does she know about this time-travel stuff?"

"The last time I visited her, I told her about you. Then she told us she wanted to talk to you in-person."

Namjoon stayed quiet most of the time, but he still contributed to the conversation. "Koo Y/N, do you think your ex-boyfriend also jumped in with you?"

Blinking confusedly at Namjoon's question, I scratched my chin. "I'm not entirely sure."

Wait, Namjoon was right. What if my ex did jump into the lake with me? But shouldn't he be with me in Jimin's golf course? Or was it possible that he was teleported to another place?

I couldn't stop asking myself that question even when we reached our destination. My two 'bodyguards' were downstairs drinking some morning coffee, while Jungkook's great-grandmother's friend was upstairs with me in her library. She was surely a very old lady, but she walked even faster than me.

She sat down in front of me as she smiled kindly. "Let's not beat around the bush then. I heard from Jungkook that you're from 2020?"

"... Yes, but do you believe those kinds of stories?" I wouldn't trust me if I was her.

"Oh, honey, I didn't. Who would believe those things?" She laughed gently. "Until I met Jungkook's great-grandmother. She was my good friend."

"Jungkook's great-grandma also went back in time?" I uttered.

"Yeah, she also went back exactly 4 years, just like you, after jumping into the ocean." She sighed heavily.

I was still processing this new information. "So, did she go back to her original timeline?"

"No, she had to re-live her past four years."

"She didn't or couldn't find a way?"

The gentle old lady made a sad face. "Couldn't, obviously. Oh, and importantly, she told me that going back in time was a curse because she couldn't age and die."

I didn't quite get what she meant by that. A curse?

"It seemed like her original timeline had stopped when she went back in time, so that's why. I think your 2020 also stopped, unless you went back there." She said. "Do you understand?"

I shook my head truthfully.

She looked at me with the eyes 'do young people these days this slow?' before clearing her throat. "Jungkook's great-grandmother was stabbed in the heart during an attempt to assassinate her husband. When they removed the knife out of her chest, her wound healed by itself. The only thing she could feel was pain, but she couldn't die from it no matter how much she wanted to."

I opened my mouth in shock, almost dropping the cup of tea.

"Other than that, I really don't know much. I just want you to be careful, don't do something that can hurt you."
