Vantage || Hwang Hyunjin

~Chapter 51~

"Okay let me get this straight.  You have good memory short time but as days go by you actually suck remembering things? Because you remembered my face that night."

"Uh huh.

And, the way you ditched me and scolded me, made me forget about it even faster. I mean the beautiful girl I saw seemed to know me and hate me, so why would I keep that memory?"

"Well, back in the trip you remembered."

"That's because you said it exactly the same and with the same amount of hate." He chuckled.

"I'm sorry for that"

"Don't worry."

"Anyways, I think that means the shell manipulated time for us."

"I think so too, but I still don't see how this could help us finish it. I'm afraid it's meant to repeat."

"I wish I could see or at least call Sang Hoon to ask him some things I didn't back then. I guess it didn't really end for them, it's just that Yulhee passed away, so it didn't happen again."

"Well, that's not an option for us, no way." Hyunjin seemed very serious.

We kept quiet for a while, I was thinking over and over all the new information we gathered, which was not much, but at least it was something. The connected souls, the pearls, time, the dreams, Yulhee and Sang Hoon's words.

Their words, there had to be something that connected everything, somehow. Destiny, balance, together, Destiny, balance, together.

I kept making different sentences with those words, trying different combinations and even including other hints. I ended up making quote-like phrases; at first I felt stupid, but it actually had more and more sense. Maybe, if our souls are really connected through time, because destiny wants it that way, we must stay together to keep it balanced.

That actually made a lot of sense.

"Oh my god." I slammed the table, standing up, startling Hyunjin.

"You scared me, you've been quiet for a while." He sighed.

"I think I got it."

"You do?"

"I just mixed all words and hints we had, and after giving it a hard thought, I came trough something that made a lot of sense."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Destiny will bring souls that are connected through time together, but only together, balance will prevail. "

Hyunjin blinked a few times, probably processing what I just said.

"Okay, so you mean we have to be together to control it?"

"Doesn't it make sense? It happened randomly the times we weren't together, and the only time we succeeded controlling the switching, we actually did it at the same time, that's being together somehow."

"So maybe the pearls are for forcing us to stay together, by switching the souls with each other's body. That way, we will have to be together for sure either to discuss it or just wait untill we switch, but telling each other how to be... am I talking nonsense? I feel like it." He chuckled.

"That's it, Hyunjin, that's it!"

"What is?"

"Think about it, balance, together,"

"Uhhh..."

"If we want balance we must be together, but together doesn't necessarily mean something else, it can be, literally, together."

"So..."

"Ugh. Get there faster!"

"Oohhhh." He finally said waving his hands in happiness.

I grabbed a fresh sweater, and of course, the shell, making my way to the door.

"W-where are you going?

"Are you kidding? We may just have discovered the truth about those pearls, where do you think we're going?

He again widened his eyes, fully connecting everything in his head.

"We're returning the pearls, together this time, to where everything started."
