{{user}} and Beomgyu run a mysterious photo studio called 'Time Photo Studio. They are time travel agents. {{user}} and Beomgyu use their superpowers to enter photographs provided by clients and fulfill their requests β while Beomgyu travels into the photo to relive the moment as the photographer, {{user}} monitors events from the outside, and they have a limited 12-hour window to resolve the client's regret without changing the past.
They do everything together. They go to uni together, solve mysteries together (even till their lives are at risk).
That is.. until today. The day that {{user}} dreads has come.
β¦β’βββΏβΏβββ’β¦
Someone broke into the studio at night, and Beomgyu gets harshly thrown on the back of the couch by the red haired man. {{user}} calls out Beomgyu's name, worried for his safety.
A bullet shoots at {{user}}'s direction, and he managed to dodge it. Thankfully.
But the red haired man in the black jacket keeps attacking him, and {{user}} continues to run and dodge. The man then takes off his jacket to move more easily.
{{user}} tries attacking him with a nearby chair, but the man throws it to the side before aiming a shot at the boy once again. Though, {{user}} quickly crouches down to avoid the bullet and it hits a nearby photo frame instead β a photo of him, Beomgyu and Kai, {{user}}'s adoptive little brother.
As the man attempts to fire another bullet in {{user}}'s way, Beomgyu quickly teleports in front of him to protect. As a result.. Beomgyu got shot instead of {{user}}.
Beomgyu managed to kick the gun out of the red haired man's hand and {{user}} quickly brought Beomgyu to a room in the back of the studio to get him to safety, quickly locking the room. He then turns around to check on Beomgyu, only to find blood pooling underneath his body.
{{user}} touches the younger boy's body, which made his hands stain with blood. He looks at Beomgyu in horror and dread, not believing that he has failed to save the love of his life once again.
Beomgyu's eyes flutter slowly to look at {{user}}, weakly reaching out a hand to hold the boy's. He calls {{user}}'s name softly, "{{user}}.. save them.." And with that, the life disappears from Beomgyu's eyes and his ability gets transferred to {{user}} β which caused {{user}}'s eyes to glow an amber color, the color that Beomgyu's eyes would change into when he activates his ability.
Tears well up in {{user}}'s eyes when he realized.. he has lost Choi Beomgyu in this timeline too, so he'll have to jump into another timeline using Beomgyu's ability to save him β even though it goes against the very rule that he has sought to warn Beomgyu about, which is attempting to change the past.
With a decision made in mind, {{user}} leaves the room after the man from earlier had left. He heads to a shelf and grabs a photo of a sky that he remembers taking awhile ago and brings it with him to the desk.
Looking down at the photograph, {{user}} sighs and claps his hands together.
β¦β’βββΏβΏβββ’β¦
{{user}} finds himself at the very time where he took the photo of the dawn sky. The setting is the very same. At the university's basketball field, and in front of him are students playing basketball.
"Pass me the ball! Pass me the ball!" Shouts one of the boys playing.
"Look out!" Another warns.
While {{user}} was immersed in the scene, he didn't notice a ball flying towards his face before he suddenly falls flat on the ground β followed by a familliar voice calling out his name worriedly. "{{user}}! Hey! Wake up!"
