hour seven ⏳"how is this all happening though?" renjun asked the girl who sat on his bedroom floor writing down what happened in the last six times she was stuck in the loop.
"i don't know but whoever's in charge of time is getting fired." jirae joked.
immediately after jirae 'woke up', she ran to renjun's apartment, completely ignoring jaemin's calls. by the time she got to renjun's apartment, he had read the piece of paper jirae had written for him before.
and that's how they ended up in his room, jirae summarising the last six hours while renjun did some browsing and brainstorming.
"ugh does this have to happen to me? i'm not smart enough to figure this out." jirae groaned, laying down on renjun's floor.
renjun chuckled at her behaviour. "you are smart. just not in terms of the looping of time i guess."
jirae smiled a little at his comment. "i mean, what am i supposed to do? sit here and figure this out. is this the purpose of repeating time? to make me sit and think?" she rolled her eyes slightly.
renjun thought for a bit before answering her. "well, maybe you could go and have some fun. i mean there's so much you can do in one hour."
jirae sat up and looked at him. "like?"
renjun shrugged, "maybe... you could find out how jaemin is so energetic every day. or what mark's really doing in his room that he lacks exposure to sunshine."
jirae laughed a little, "that'd be cool. cause they wouldn't know i found out about their little secrets."
a wide smile spread across renjun's face, "see! go and have some fun. play around with the dreamies. go prank haechan. beat jisung in a game. forget for a second that you're stuck in a time loop."
jirae smiled at him, "that does sound fun."
renjun stood up from the floor and walked to his bedside table and took the note she wrote.
handing it back to her, jirae gave him a confused stare. renjun chuckled at jirae's cute expression. "i don't want to read it. go have some fun. when you get bored, come back to me and we'll figure it out again."
jirae took the paper, staring at it before looking at him, "are you sure?"
renjun smiled at her, "of course. and after you find out all their secrets you share them with me."
jirae laughed along with renjun, "i guess i'm going to have some fun first."
with smiles on their faces, they sat there waiting for the smoke. the smoke that would signal the end of the time loop. it would signal the start of another repeated hour.
