Yeri stared up at the beam of blue light before attempting to find the source. He quickly made his way through alleys and streets using the beam as a guide before he eventually reached a crack in the ground which was seeping out the strange beam of blue light. He observed the blue light before walking up to it, he looked around to see if anyone was around before he hesitantly reached his hand out towards it when suddenly the same voice he heard came up again, "Open your Eyes Quietly Open your Eyes,." The voice felt louder and louder the closer his hand got to the light, Yeri closed his eyes as he reached towards the light for as soon as he touched it-.
"Now Open Your Eyes!"
The strange voice's words had changed, this caused Yeri to open his eyes realizing his hand was in the beam of light but there was a strange effect. The light wasn't blocked by his hand it was as if the light was being absorbed into it, Yeri could feel his hand and arm tingle as if something was coursing through it. Yeri tried to pull his hand away but the light had followed and completely disappeared into him. Suddenly it was silent, all that could be heard was the sound of a clock but it was not outside, no it was on the inside....
Yeri stepped back, soon after the clock sound went silent, so he stumbled home shaken by what just happened. "I must be dreaming, wow these dreams are getting quite crazy hehe", Yeri looked up, before he could say anymore about the situation he noticed a dark figure in the shape of a girl on the roof, he could see she was wearing a black tank top and a short hair style though he couldn't make out anything else except a circle with a crescent moon symbol on her tank top. "Hey, who are you why are you on the roof!?" Suddenly as soon as he blinked the figure had disappeared into the moonlight, Yeri wiped his eyes before running into the shop, locking the door and heading upstairs. "Ok, What the fuck just happened," he was pacing back and forth, he took a look out the window to check if anymore bizarre activity wanted to show itself. "Ok let me recount what just occurred" he said now laying down and looking at the ceiling, "So I went outside because I heard a loud boom and a beam of light appeared, then I touched it and it disappeared, I heard that weird ass voice again except something was different, Now Open your eyes." Yeri's eyelids felt heavy as he passed out all he could think about was the voice he heard and the strange girl he saw. "It must all be a dream...."
Tuesday April 2 20XX
6:50 A.M
Yeri woke up with a feeling of relief as if everything that happened last night was a lucid dream, despite feeling all too real. After waking up and making scrambled eggs and bacon he sat down and ate this time without the food thief who would come upstairs and eat his food. As Yeri came downstairs he saw Elaine as usual running behind the counter this time making pie, "Oh you're up late, just make sure you get to school on time." Yeri was too shaken by last night to respond as he waved and left out the door. When he eventually made it to school he was greeted by Enu, who was his usual cheerful self, "Hey Yeri, whoah!? Dude you look like you've been up all night did something happen you don't even have homework yet so what happened?" Yeri slowly turned his head to look up at Enu before responding, "I...., did you hear a loud boom last night...," Enu laughed confused, "Dude what're you talking about, it was quiet last night I was up for awhile ja-... uh I mean I was binging a tv show." Yeri felt reassured by his words believing this confirmed it was a dream, the blue light, the strange voice, and the girl..
"All a Dream.."
The Yeri went through the usually school day, Mr. Delvin's nonchalant attitude, Misun's rude remarks, and watching Enu's attempts to charm girls. As Yeri and Enu we're walking home, "Dude, wanna go get some food at Dreamnote Cafe before we head home?". Yeri looked at Enu confused, "Dreamnote Cafe?", Enu looked at Yeri as if he was crazy before grabbing his arm and rushing to a building with the name "Dreamnote" on it, "Guess where we're eating then." Yeri followed inside greater by a sweet smell before noticing the interesting yellow and blue color scheme covering the floor and walls. They both sat in a booth before Enu got up to go to the counter, "Wait here, since you've never been here before I'll be ordering for both us, by the way do you prefer chocolate or strawberry?. Yeri responded with "Strawberry but sometimes Vanilla," before he sat in the booth near the window looking at the scenery of the city he would be spending his high school life in, it felt peaceful but one thing felt wrong.. that "dream" he experienced, the memory of it was still clear in his head. Yeri tried to rid his mind of the dream thinking about what the strange voice said, what were the meaning of those words... A couple of minutes later, Enu returned with a tray with two Large milkshake in large fast food cups, a large plate of fries, and two hamburgers wrapped in paper with the word Dreamnote on it in an odd font. Yeri looked at the food, a little surprised by how good it looked despite being fast food, the texture of the fries, how they glistened in the light was different or maybe Yeri was just too hungry and tired to think straight. Enu noticed this and threw a fry at Yeri's face, "Ah!?", Yeri was hit directly in the nose but came back to his senses. "Dude are you sure you're ok, you've been kind of like that all day.." Yeri looked surprised by Enu's remark, "Sorry I just stayed up late yesterday hehe, now let's just eat." Yeri immediately began to eat fries as he opened his hamburger wrapper revealing a crispy and well seasoned burger, Yeri after one bite began devouring his food. Enu ate food moderately glancing at Yeri who only took breaks from his burger and fries to drink his milkshake. After completing the meal the two left out the door of the cafe and began to head in the direction of Yeri's home, "So, Dreamnote, what do you think?" Yeti smiled a little satisfied with his meal, "Mmm... I'll give it an 8..". As the two continued walking Enu had an idea, "Hey, I know a short cut to the bus stop wanna take it," "Sure why not." Yeri and Enu decided to make a slight detour through an alley way, they slowly went through, Enu was completely calm as if he'd been through it a million times before. While Yeri was slightly nervous while following behind Enu, after crossing through the alley the two ended up near a small abandon ware house, they would have quickly walked past if not for a loud noise they heard as if a woman had yelled "Please, Help!" Yeri and Enu froze turning towards the warehouse, they couldn't see anything, they could only hear what was happening inside.
Enu quickly rushed over to the warehouse, "Dude!? What are you doing we should just mind our own business," Enu quickly looked at him, "What do you mean mind our own business! there's a woman calling for help in there!" Enu quickly rushed into the warehouse which was empty for some reason with the exception of a tied up woman. Enu quickly rushed over to her, "Please get me out of here before they come back. Yeri froze hearing those words to afraid get involved, "They come back?..." but before he could turn around to leave, a group men had appeared in front of him, "Hello, what do you think your doing in here kids, don't you know to mind your own business." Yeri was then kicked aside by one of the men, Yeri looked over at Enu concerned but Enu had a determined look on his face to protect the woman, "Yeri, we can't just leave her...". Before Yeri could respond, one of the men pulled out a black pistol and pointed it directly at Enu, "Kid.. Don't meddle in the business of adults!" Enu froze his determined look turned into fear, Yeri thought to himself, "How did it come to this...,". "How about this, step away from the goods and will let you two go.", the man smiled expecting the two to accept the deal, "Hell No!"Enu was shaking afraid for his life but secretly buying time so Yeri could call the police, Enu looked at Yeri watching his phone behind him typing 9-1-1 but just as he press the call button. "DUDE HE'S CALLING THE POLICE!", "WHAT! HOW DARE YOU THAT'S IT! WE'LL MAKE SURE TO SEND YOUR FAMILY THE BODY!" Time felt slow at that moment... All Yeri could feel was fear for his friend, all he could hear and think of was the sound of a clock, and all of a sudden the words "Open your eyes" popped into his head again. Yeri froze and watched in fear as the man pulled the trigger he couldn't jump in the way.. he was simply too far all he could do was watch or so he thought.. "STOP!" as soon as he said that he reached his hand out as if that would make a difference, Yeri closed his eyes at that very moment, a loud BANG was heard! But something was different he could still hear Enu, he was screaming and he could hear the group of men too, "What the fuck!? What's going on I definitely shot him!?". Hearing these words Yeri opened his eyes noticing what had happened. What he saw was not his dead friend but instead his friend and the woman wide eyed looking at something, Yeri turned towards the men, they were horrified, Yeri looked forward and saw something insane in front of where his hand was outstretched...., it was a bullet coated in blue light moving as slowly as possible towards Enu and the woman. Yeri looked surprised and confused before Enu suddenly broke the silence, "Dude you some kinda psychic!? This is crazy!" The woman screamed with her eyes shut firmly, as Enu said this he quickly picked up the woman and moved away from the bullet, Yeri put his hand down and stepped back in confusion looking at his hand, as soon as he did so, the blue light around the bullet went away and all of a sudden the bullet flung forward leaving a mark in the spot where Enu and the woman were originally positioned. "Dude you really are a psychic, you should've shown me sooner!" "I didn't even know I could do this! Hell, I don't even know what this!". Before Enu could ask any questions, loud police sirens could be heard and blue and red lights flashed into the warehouse, "Fuck it's the cops we gotta go boss, we'll get more goods later to make up for this one." Said one of the men behind the gunman, "Fuck we should've brought one of our special units if we knew there would be one of them here.", "One of them?...". Before Yeri could think about what'd he'd heard the cops were already rushing in to capture the group of men,"We gotta go! Or will get thrown in with them!" said Enu carrying the woman, Yeri nodded at Enu before running and escaping through one of Enu's alleyway shortcuts.
9:06 p.m
After getting to a safe distance Enu put the woman down and untied her, the woman looked shaken and confused before speaking, "Thank you for saving my life...". Enu looked at Yeri smiling before punching his shoulder, "And you told me not to get involved~". Yeri looked confused and irritated, "You do realize if I somehow didn't manifest whatever that bullet slowing thing was you would've been shot, right?". Enu looked shocked before thinking, "By the way, you said you had no idea what that was right?" Yeri nodded, Enu thought to himself before drawing blanks, "By the way what do we do about the woman-." "My name is Hye-jin and I'm a teenage girl not a woman," Enu looked surprised for a moment, "So.... Hye-jin Umm.. how about your number just in case someone you know attempts to kidnap you aga-", Yeri pushed Enu out the way before asking, "Pardon my friend but how'd you get kidnapped?". Hye-Jin looked slightly annoyed at Enu before turning to Yeri and explaining, " I was kidnapped after leaving Miroh High, they covered my mouth and I was knocked but I was able to hear a little, they said something like, We've got another product..". Yeri thought to himself confused before Enu butted in, "You go to Miroh High!? Wow so can I have your numb-." Yeri punched Enu's shoulder, "I don't want to get involved with kidnappers who have guns..", Enu looked over at Hye-jin seriously, "Yeri you know your way home from here right?" "Yeah why?" "I'm gonna make sure Hye-Jin gets home safely," Yeri looked surprised but he knew he couldn't stop Enu from going his only real fear was of Enu's sexual tendencies. "Alright but before that Hye-Jin give me your number just in case this idiot tries anything." Hye-Jin complied before heading with Enu down the street before disappearing down another, Yeri smiled before walking to the bus and heading back home . Yeri eventually made it to Violeta Pastries still shaken and confused, he had gotten over the fact that a group of men kidnapped a high schooler but he was still not over what happened to that bullet that almost killed his friend.
Yeri was too tired to realize the bruises and dirt he got on himself as he walked into the cafe and headed upstairs, luckily no one was paying attention to him except unexpectedly Misun who had stopped at the pastry shop due to her love for sweets. After Yeri went upstairs, Misun was shocked realizing that Yeri, her enemy lived in her favorite pastry shop. Misun became instantly suspicious of why he lived there and why he had bruises and dirt on him, she attempted to follow him upstairs but was noticing by Elaine, "Ummm... where do you think you're going young lady?", Misun has to improvise, "Oh, I'm going to hang out with my best friend Yeri." Elaine looked suspicious not really convinced but shrugged, "Alright but no funny business up there," "Misun was confused by what she said before quickly walking up stairs, Misun was quite surprised by how good the room looked before walking in and looking for Yeri, but soon heard water in the bathroom realizing he was showering. Misun decided to wait she sat at the table bored before getting up and raiding Yeri's fridge. She found a pink strawberry desert smiling before sitting down and chowing down.
As she ate, Yeri came out the shower and noticed a girl was not only in her home but also she was eating his strawberry sponge cake. Yeri out of raged yelled, "Hey back away from the strawberry sponge cake or I'll-I'll use my psychic powers on you!", Misun quickly turned around revealing herself and the fact that the sponge cake was already down her throat. Yeri had had enough today first the thugs, he watched his friend almost get shot, and his only redeeming thing the cake he had saved was eaten in his face by Misun. Suddenly Yeri rushed towards Misun before he could grab her, all of a sudden Misun disappeared, Yeri quickly stopped looking around but he couldn't find find her. "So you have psychic abilities?", Yeri looked up realizing that Misun was on top of a shelf, "How the hell did you get up there...", Misun sighed realizing it might be okay to explain since she heard Yeri say he has psychic powers. Misun leaped down taking off her jacket piece of the school uniform revealing her black tank top with her right arm covered in black crescent moons. Yeri surprised still from seeing the girl in her room was confused by the symbols, "Ok you have tatoos...are you thinking those are gonna make you cool or something.." Yeri laughed a little as he watched Misun slightly annoyed walk to his bed window where the moon was fully visible. Suddenly Misun looked at Yeri, she raised her arm towards the window and suddenly one of the moon symbols on her hand began to glow. Yeri looked at the "tatoo" and stepped back, despite this not being the most bizarre thing he's seen it's surely up there. Misun suddenly began to gain an aura around her as her eyes changed from brown to yellow, Yeri had realized his life was no longer that of a simple honest high schooler....
