The S Class I Raised , REACT

The Unexpected Guest

I turn to them, placing a hand on each head. "You guys should go get ready too. Even though time doesn't pass here, this meal could act as breakfast, and breakfast is the most important meal of the day." They both smile, Yerim ran to the door and walked out first, and while Yoohyun was about to follow, he stopped at the door. "You should know hyung," He said. "Yerim and I weren't the first people here. It was Sung Hyunjae, that sooty bastard."

"Noah said that he slept in his room," I answered, not sure why Yoohyun was telling me this. Yoohyun shook his head. "I'm not lying. When Yerim and I went in here, he was sitting against the wall, staring at you." For some reason, I felt a heat start rising up my neck with that comment. "He only left once we got there, he then went to his, I don't know that he's planning but he better keep his distance ."

"Why are you telling me this, Yoohyun ?" He shrugged. "I just thought you should know." He answered softly, quickly leaving my room after uttering a Good Morning. I sigh. "I swear this scenario will only end up feeding them with delusions."

"But it's not a delusion." The female voice of Lien rang through the room as she appeared, following a bright flash of light. I jumped up to face her. "What are you doing in here?" She smiled. "Same as everyone else, checking on you." I sat back down on my bed, sensing I wouldn't be able to leave this room for the next few minutes."I want to ask a question, if you don't mind." She nodded. "And you will answer it truthfully." The floating girl scoffed. "Depends on if your question is something I can answer." 

"Oh, it will be." I pause for a moment. "Are you doing something to us? Besides showing us the future, are you doing something for us?" She raised an eyebrow. "Are you maybe influencing us with thoughts and feelings we normally wouldn't have? Maybe some form of hypnotics? I'm sure that's something you are very capable of." Then she started laughing.

"Whatever do you mean?" She cried, holding her stomach as she shook in the air. "I'm not doing anything. In fact, I'm just as surprised all of you are thinking these things this early. I surely thought it would take a few dozen chapters." I sigh. "But you do realize something. That we are falling under some effect."

It was Lien's turn to sigh. "My dear , these feelings are just human emotion and deduction." My expression showed that I didn't believe her, but she didn't stop. "Come now, go outside and join your companions for food. We have several episodes to react to, after all." I stand and walk out the door. "Fine."

Walking down the hallway, I found that Lien was following quite closely. Upon entering the main room, I didn't see anyone and was about to question what Lien had done with them before she cut in herself. "Just go through the double doors." I looked at the door directly opposite the screen. "You mean the same doors you told us not to go through?"

'' For now, it has been turned into a dining room, so please walk through." She gestured to the doors, so I conceded. Walking through, I was greeted by everyone, most of whom were still dressed in their sleepwear. "Look who finally showed up!!" Kang Soyoung called from where she sat.

The room looked identical to the first room we had all been brought to react; this one was just smaller with fewer tables. "Come sit with us." I walked over to Kang Soyoung and joined her at the table. Those from our original group who sat here beside me and Kang Soyoung were Moon Hyuna , Noah, Riette, Kim Sunghan, and Yoohyun, Yerim and Sung Hyunjae. 

"When Lien said she would provide food..." Kang Soyoung began, "What she really meant was that she would be giving us these silvers plates that gave us whatever we wanted." I sighed, smiling as I thought of an everyday breakfast dish I used to eat before I turned time began. "Why so basic?" Moon Hyuna questioned. "Basic because I haven't been able to eat this kind of food since."

Once I started eating, they began talking with everyone else at the table. The only one who wasn't was the man who had supposedly visited me first last night. An idea came to mind, and while it seemed kind of idiotic to address it now, I thought, "Why not." '

'You seem oddly quiet.''

The Guild Master looked up from his meal to stare at me, giving me a condescending look.
''I'm always quiet when I eat.'' He simply answered.

I paused for a moment before asking my question. ''I have something to ask you, Sung Hyunjae, Did you pop by my room last night?''

The man suppressed a slight flinch as he gave me a questioning look. '' And you came up with this question how?''

''The kids told me.''

''And do you believe them?'' He replied.

I paused again, trying to think of an appropriate answer that would not anger the man or put myself or anyone else in danger. ''It doesn't exactly sound like something you would do since you dislike me so much.''

With that, the man sighed. Picking up his plate, he got up from the table to sit with some other group. Everyone stared at his action. Moon Hyuna sent me a glance. "Why does it feel like we just got dumped?" I didn't answer and just stared at Sung Hyunjae walking away. "Did I say something wrong?"

With bright flashing light and a few sparks, Lien appeared back in the room. "Okay, everyone. If you aren't finished eating, you can bring your food with you, just please be careful. Everyone back in the main room, please; we have a story to watch after all."

I wasn't exactly finished with my meal, but I had eaten most of it. Instead of taking my plate out with me, I brought it to a sink in the back. I was about to wash it before Lien stopped me. "You don't have to do that; they're magical. They clean themselves." I hesitate, putting the plate on the counter instead. "Sorry, force of habit."

Quickly, I walk out of the room to join the others. I smile, walking back to my seat on the couch. I reached out for the remote the pressed the play button.
