Yeon Si-eun was walking home from cram school in the evening. When he looked up in the sky, he thought he was seeing things. Two moons? Si-eun thought he probably just didn’t drink enough. So the boy went to a convenience store and bought himself a bottle of water. Once he got out the door, it suddenly was daytime. More people were walking through the streets. Everything seemed a little more colorful. The convenience store behind him suddenly turned into a bookshop.
Si-eun was of course confused as hell. Someone ran past him and dropped a newsletter. The high school student picked it up.
April 6th, 1995
1995
“What the actual fuck…”
He mutters under his breath. Now he’s completely sure he lost it. Did he get drugged? Whatever. The boy just decides to go home. But once he went there where the apartment building usually was, he didn’t find what he hoped to find there. Instead, there was a supermarket.
Did he travel in time? Why? How does he get back? And for the first time, the boy actually misses his home. Si-eun thought it’s the best idea to wander around and see how things are here. Until the sun set and the moon rose. He realized, he has nowhere to go. All he has now are his bag with school supplies, his phone which doesn’t even work because it’s fucking 1995, and the water bottle he bought earlier.
Si-eun walks through the streets, looking lost. Well, he is. And even if he looks calm, he’s scared. What’s happening? Why is he here? What about his home? How does he get back. All those questions fill his mind until someone bumps into him. His eyes snap to the person who bumped into him, his breath catches in his throat. Ahn Su-ho? Si-euns best friend? That’s weird. Su-ho wasn’t even born in 1995. And he has different hair and different clothes.
“Su-ho-ya? I thought you were—“
And maybe there’s a spark of hope in his chest. Is he not alone at all? But then something dawns on him. Su-ho wasn’t even born then. This guy looks, sounds and acts like him. And he looks at him like he doesn’t even know who he is. Did Si-eun go to another fucking universe or something? An universe where his best friend lives in 1995 with a different life and identity and now he’s stuck here too?
