"Dreamy Creepy Dreams - 4" °•○●
Eren spent the rest of the day gathering useful information around and entering buildings he used to be curious about.
Life got easier once you had a mid-range motorcycle and its keys. If it weren't for the evening, he would have gone to the "brothel" in a distant part of the city and inspected the interior. He was planning to go places he would never have been to while living on earth.
Meanwhile, he did some very stupid things, wandering around randomly and finding phones with a working line to always connect to the internet. He took the most expensive of them and stuffed enough electronics and food in his backpack. Then he returned home for sightseeing. That day's research was over and he was a little tired. He was also uneasy about this feeling of being followed. He closed the garden door and locked the door of his house.
He still felt like he was being watched by someone. Ever since he realized "what" this disgusting feeling was, Eren kept feeling the same thing. The eyes watching him did not stop following him for a second.
"Whose eyes are those eyes? (Quote from a very old anime ;)"
Asking this question, Eren looked up at the sky and locked the door to the roof as well. It was a strange pleasure to watch the sun on the roof and the meteor in the sky. But when he walked in, he felt a little strange.
"Oh, I forgot the power was cut off."
He went down to the basement to do a task at home that usually belonged to his father. He walked without fear to the very edge of the dark basement. Seeing or moving in the dark was now a part of him. The act of spending time in the dark that used to frighten him was now a very natural and normal thing.
The months spent fighting in the dark have taken Eren's gait and self-confidence to different levels.
He finally found the shared electrical box of both his neighbors and their own house. One of the switch buttons was up and the rest were all down. When he corrected the different switch, light suddenly appeared behind him. He smiled when he thought that he could move to the next house since his neighbors and their own house share a basement.
He have always entered Meltem's house since he was a baby. But Meltem's room was a different story.
It seemed like a interesting thing now going to the private space of a family he was very close to. Feeling both mischievous and curious, he climbed the stairs to the kitchen from the basement door. He turned on the light at the end of the stairs and looked into the bright living room.
"It's almost the same as our house."
But when he toured the house a little, he smelled the smell of this house where he spent a lot of time. Every house smells different. And there was something about this house that he liked.
After wandering for a while, his eyes returned to the stairs leading to the second floor. He first entered his neighbors' bedrooms and then into Meltem's room with a smile.
Actually, there was nothing unusual. What could happen in an 18-year-old girl's room? Besides, she was a girl who spent all her time studying, and what would happen in her room?
"The thing I would find most interesting would probably be the underwear." But as soon as Eren said that sentence, he saw the cell phone on the bed.
[Didn't Meltem take her phone with her to school? Was she studying that hard? Impressive girl.]
Eren took the cell phone in his hand, but he didn't think he could open it.
After all, every teenager puts a screen lock on their phone—it's unlocked! Oh Meltem. You're strange in every way, girl."
Eren shook his head and stared at the phone's home screen. The main screen picture was Eren's own picture. It also looked like it was taken a few days before Eren teleported. It was taken upstairs at a side angle while waiting for Meltem to come down in the morning.
"He took my picture from the upstairs balcony while I was waiting downstairs. I don't look handsome at all. But..."
Eren's heart sank when he realized that a girl he had thought of as his sister all his life secretly liked him. He felt a strange hesitation and sadness. Because he had 0 chances of returning to Earth any time soon. He said goodbye to his beautiful high school days with his girl-next-door fantasies. And unknowingly, he had lost the possibility of these beautiful lovely days. Without being asked...
Now, while looking at Meltem's gallery, he saw hundreds of pictures of himself, not just a few. Countless photos taken secretly over the last couple of years. There was even a special section full of selfies they just took.
Meltem had meticulously gathered the pictures in which the two were in the same frame.
"She's a really neat and hardworking girl..hahaha.." As Eren laughed, his heart filled with even more sadness and regret.
It was so painful to realize that he had lost this good high school life. They would have a secret love behind their parents..
It was painful to realize that he had lost a life he could never have had. Maybe it would be better if he didn't find this phone.
He wandered around on the phone a bit more, but there was nothing but notes on a few lectures. There was nothing interesting in the room except for textbooks and a few colored pillows of different sizes.
Seeing her underwear in one of the drawers, he learned about Meltem's underwear color preferences.
While he was rummaging through cabinets and drawers, he came across a dusty place where old things and childhood toys were kept. It had a lot of junk in it. He also saw some of the toys they used with Meltem. And at the bottom, he encountered something he never expected. A little diary.
As he read through the diary as if hypnotized for the next half hour, Eren suffered even more from the life he had lost.
He learned how excited and in love the girl he drove from home to school every morning and afternoon. He read that while Meltem was getting on the motorcycle with him, butterflies were flying in her stomach and she was very happy.
And even if Eren escaped from the Temple in the future, he realized that when he returned to Earth, he had lost a youthful love who would have been married before he even had it. I need to spend a minimum of fifteen years. Moreover, it also depends on details such as the fact that I can learn magic soon and parts of the Temple from the 6th to the 9th floor are not overly difficult. Perhaps in twenty or thirty years I will return to Earth. Maybe when I'm older.. who knows?
"Fuck. Whoever teleported me, we have a deal to be settled with you! I didn't care much before. But now you're my enemy. Heed what I say if you hear it. Because now you're my first enemy!"
He whispered threats into the void, then left his neighbors' house. He decided to go home and watch something on his new phone. After a couple of hours he left his room and went downstairs. He put together something he had taken out of his bag and found at home. Had a nice dinner.
He was both full and tired.
"But I'm not sleepy. I never had trouble sleeping in the temple. But I have trouble sleeping in a dream. It must be a joke."
He did a few laps around the house because he couldn't sleep at all. He decided to lie down on the sofa in the living room for a while before going to his own room. He used to watch TV for hours on this sofa. It was the most comfortable spot in the house. He lay down on the couch and turned on the TV until he was sleepy.
While scrolling through random channels, he watched what felt like nostalgia from a long time ago. Commercials and crossovers, tunes and familiar reality shows he had never paid attention to before. It was all painfully familiar and foreign.
Ten minutes later, Eren had fallen into a very deep sleep. A foreign channel was open on television, where strange contests were shown. For the first time since Eren went to the Temple, he slept at home.
This was the last night of his life he slept at home.
