                              2041

                          June 27th

I woke up to a dark alley. I got up. My body was hurting like hell. My head was hurting as well. It took some time to adjust to my surrounding. When my eyes finally adjusted to the darkness I suddenly remembered everything.

"Where the hell am I?" I rubbed my butt with my hands to wipe out the dirt. I looked around. My head almost spinning. I tried to walk but my legs were very sore. As if I had been walking or running for hours and hours. I remember me talking to Prof J or Time or whatever he was. I was in my balcony. Shit. Am I drugged? Was that all a bad dream? Well if that was a bad dream then what is this? Where the hell am I? I was suddenly so scared of everything.

I started sobbing. I had no idea where I was and the wind was so cold and crisp as if it's going to freeze the shit out of me. It was summer yet I was cold. I don't know how much time passed. I was very hungry. I had no money with me.

I had nowhere to go. I got up and started walking. As the alley ended I saw big buildings. The writings on the boards were not in English. It was some foreign language. It took me a few moments to realize that it was written in Korean. I guessed. Wait a second. Am I in korea? What am I doing here? I looked around. It was almost night. The sun was setting down. The time of twilight. With tears on my face I kept walking.

I got random stares on the street. Ofcourse. I looked so bad. My clothes were covered with dust. But the place it looked so advanced. It seems like everything is changed. I don't remember what happened the day I was thrown here. Was I getting ready for college? What is my roommate doing? Is Krish in class right now or he's in his home?

The scenery got more crowded as I reached towards the civilization more and more. My head was aching painfully as if I was going to faint any moment now. I was so thristy and in severe need for water. But I had no money. What should I do now?

I kept on walking and finally reached to what seemed like a bus stop. I didn't know anything. All the things were written in Korean. I sat down on the seat where no one was there and caught my breath.

I was breathing heavily and almost as if I was going to a deep sleep again. I closed my eyes and tried to focus on my breathing to calm my nerves.
It's not a dream. I know it's not. But how do I get home? My eyes started welling up. I started crying again. I hid my face in my palm and crouched myself. Why is this happening to me?

"Chogiyo?" I felt a voice next to me. I looked up to see an man. Probably in his early 40s or something. He had kind eyes and a pure smile. His face was painfully fimiliar. Where did I see him before? As if on cue he cleared his throat but I didn't avert my gaze. I was as if stuck by his presence. His kind aura.

"Gwaenchanh ni?" He asked. I looked at him as if he had grown three heads. What the hell was he saying. I looked down at my fingers. I Didn't know what to answer to him. What should I say?

I looked at him. "I'm sorry. I don't understand korean." My silent voice I guess finally reached him. He gently sat down next to me and touched my shoulder so delicately as if I'd break if he'd put a little pressure.

"Are you okay?" He said in English.

"No." I said shaking a bit. "I want to go home."

"Okay where is your home?"

"Bangalore, India." I said and wrapped my hands around myself.

"India?" He said shocked. "What are you doing here alone then?"

"I have no idea. I have no money. Nowhere to go. I want to go home." I started crying again.

He stopped for a while and looked at me with concerned eyes. "You can stay with me for a while."

I looked at him. His kind eyes shining. Why does he look so freaking fimiliar though? As if I've seen him so many times. Known him more than anyone. My eyes darted along his facial features. I tried to focus on him but my eyes were getting blurry from time to time.

"Don't worry I'm not gonna hurt you." He said and smiled. "I live alone anyways and a little company won't hurt." He said and got up.

I got up too and started following him. At a completely unknown place I started going with him not knowing him or knowing anything about him was probably the stupidest move but where would I go? I had nothing on me. Fuck you Time.

"Sorry I'm taken." I heard a voice inside my head.

"What?" I said back. People would think I'm crazy because I was literally talking to myself.

"I said I'm taken." The voice was fimiliar to Prof J.

"Prof J?" I said back this time inside my head.

"No Shit Sherlock." He said back.

I groaned. "Why the fuck am I here?"

"You'll get to know soon." He said. "Follow him."

I rolled my eyes. "I'm doing exactly that Prof. J."

He chuckled. "Fiesty. I like it."

"I don't."

"Okay listen Adi. Follow him. Trust him. I'm sure everything will be okay."

"But what if I end up dead?" I said. The man was a few steps ahead of me. My head was getting lighter.

"Stop being dramatic. I won't let you die." He sighed.

"Fine okay but you better have an amazing explanation of why I am here. I must be a superhero by the end of it okay?"

"You wish." He chuckled.

"I'm not kidding Professor."

"Of course I'll explain it to you. Now shut up and follow him." He said and left my head space. I almost groaned as the sudden impact made me lost my balance for a little bit.
The man turned around to see me fumbling on my steps.

"Are you okay?" He asked with concern in his voice. I steadied myself and nodded with a small smile.

A question was nagging inside me. I couldn't hold myself and said.  "Why are you trusting me?"

"I don't know." He said looking at me. I swore my heart stopped at that moment. My body reacted weirdly. Almost. Almost as it does to Jungkook "I know it sounds stupid and crazy but it feels like I've known you forever."

What?

I stopped walking as he moved forward.

A sudden stressful feeling came over me. He turned around. "Everything okay?"

I looked at him. "Do I know you from somewhere?"

He smiled. "Probably."

I started moving towards him not breaking any eye contact. He had a small smile attached to him. "Wh- who are you?"

He smiled. "Jungkook. Jeon Jungkook."

I froze in my tracks. Come again?

My eyes widened. "The BTS Jungkook. Jeon freaking Jungkook?"

"Yeah. I'm the Jeon freaking Jungkook." He said showing his teeth.

That was the first time I saw his teeth. If I had any doubt before it vanished as soon as I saw his smile.

"You.. but...wha-what year is it?"

He narrowed his eyes. "2041. Why?"

My eyes widened in horror and before I could balance myself all the tiredness overcame me as I lost consciousness again. The faint feeling of someone catching me before I could fall in the ground reached me as I drifted back to a peaceful sleep.
