"You only know so much, would that be enough? How are you sure that she will be there? Did you consider the possibility that everything might change? Just because you have that damn ability, doesn't mean the cards are in your hands!"

I instantly backed away when he took a step closer, knowing that I don't have the skill and energy to deflect any incoming onslaught.

"Stand back, Yoo Jonghyuk," I warned, and he didn't listen.

"I said stand back!" I created a dagger hastily and pointed it towards him but in one swift movement, it was out of my hand, buried in the ground.

It was late when I realized that my wrist was caught in his hand, I managed to glare at him despite being scared shitless, "Let go."

"You can hit me again." He suddenly spoke, I almost missed it since I was trying my hardest to free my hand from his grasp.

"What?"

"I'm permitting you to hit me again. I... deserve it."

He loosen his grip and I pulled back my hand, looking at him indecorously, then sneering, "You think I need your damn permission?"

I coiled my hand into a fist, taking a deep breath and lowering it down.

"Why didn't you?"

"I'm tired."

I looked away discovering that water about to spill, "You can proceed with your plan. I don't care. You can go fuck yourself if you want. I'm tired of your depressing shits. I have enough on my plate already."

I start to walk away.

"Y/n..."

I halted on my steps, "Just in case you forget. You didn't just lose your lover."

"I also lost my friend," finally, tears fall from my eyes like a waterfall.

"That special scenario was quite the experience!" Lee Hyunsung exclaimed.

"Ya' think?" I asked with sarcasm, holding my bandaged stomach as Lee Jihye tend to my other wounds.

"Unnie, where did you get this?" She asks, referring to a scar on my thigh. It took me a few seconds to remember.

"My brother stabbed me with a pencil when we were little."

Everyone stopped what they are doing and stared at me blankly.

"Your brother did what?" Lee Hyunsung asked, shocked.

"He honestly did worse things than this. The same with me. Rest assured, our relationship is good."

"I didn't know you have a brother." Yoo Jonghyuk muttered.

"Pfft— you don't know anything," I stopped for a few seconds, thinking that I probably told him some things about me in his previous regressions.

I was there— or so he says...

"Can you tell us more about him, unnie?" Lee Jihye asks, noticing that the person brings joy to the older female.

"He was mean, but sweet at times. He always got my back, we were partners in crime. And we make fun of our shit parents behind their backs. He would sometimes take my punishments so that I wouldn't suffer. We were happy..."

"Did he die?" Kim Namwoon interrupted.

I glared at the brat, "Do you want to die?"

He laughs, "My bad, how would I know if he's still alive?"
