Part 1 - Kwan
"I'm Kwan."
This is how I introduce myself, there was a misunderstanding that I never expected.
"Haha, you are so strong teacher!"
"Uhh... That's not what I mean."
"Huh? Then?"
"My name is Kwan. Kim Kwan."
Kim Kwan, my mother gave me that name because she want me to became like a my father, the Champion weightlifter. However, Thanks to the name my mother gave me, I became a normal guy who just wanted to focus on studies.
In short, it was like this: I am Kim Kwan, 30 years old, single, and my job is a teacher of high school. My hobby was study wherever I am.
"I should focus."
Instead of my age, I look like someone in their 20s. Many people think I am still in school. I know I look very young, but that doesn't mean I'm still in school!
I know why I have a youthful appearance. Maybe because of my mother. My mother looks much younger than her age...
Maybe I should stop talking about that.
In the silent library, I read my favorite comic book. I felt the gaze of a pair of curious eyes in front of me. Apparently it belonged to my colleague, Lee Hayoon.
"Oh, Lee Hayoon-ah."
"I thought you were studying but it looks like you're rather reading comics."
"Cause I'm boring."
"By the way, it's almost 18.00 p.m. The library will close soon."
"Okay." I got up from the chair.
"What do you say we go back together?"
"If you say that so."
I and Lee Hayoon walking together as we headed to the train station and I asked Lee Hajoon a question.
"Why did you come to the library? It's rare to see you in the library."
"Ah... Because I always see you enter the library after work. I didn't think you would read comics instead of books."
"Hey, comics is also books."
"Is that so?" Smile and laugh at me. Come to think of it, this is the first time I walk with girls. There are rumors that Lee Hayoon always works overtime every day. But there were unexpected words that came out of the Lee Hayoon mouth, "Finally, I'm free from that damn work!"
"Work?"
"Yes, I usually like to work until late at night. Well, it's a habit of mine."
"Ah, I see."
Lee Hayoon smiled. Looking at her, I could understand the feelings about overwork. However, it's none of my business. Every person had a different life, and Lee Hayoon was someone who lived a different life from myself. Lee Hayoon look at the sunset and say, "Tan hermosa!"
"...huh?"
"Spanish."
"I see, what does that mean?"
"So beautiful." Lee Hayoon replied proudly. It's not like it's important... She truly had a different life from me. However, what was the use of memorizing just short words?
"What a pain."
"What?"
"Ah, nothing."
"By the way, Do you always study in your free time?"
Since Lee Hayoon is so curious about that, "Well, cause I'm like study. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes."
"Wow, I didn't think you like study that much. It's been a long time since I read a book after becoming a teacher..."
This is very surprising. Lee Hayoon is a teacher but hasn't held a book for a long time after becoming a teacher... How that possible?
Lee Hayoon asked, "Can you tell me Who was the first person to discover DNA?"
"It was discovered by English physicist Francis Crick in the 1950s. However, DNA was first identified in the late 1860s by Swiss chemist Friedrich Miescher."
Lee Hayoon surprised by the answer I gave.
"I... stunned by your answer. I didn't think you would remember correctly."
"It's normal."
Lee Hayoon and I chatted until we got to the train station. We went into the train station and waited until the train came.
"It's 19.00 p.m. the train should have arrived..." Said Lee Hayoon. After 20 minutes of waiting, the train did not arrive.
I wonder what happened. After 10 minutes pass, I heard the train sound coming here.
Lee Hayoon sigh, "finally, come this train."
But, I see something weird about that train. Why... the train doesn't seem to slow down at all? He should have stopped slowly.
Then I heard confused voices coming from everywhere.
"W-Why... the train seems like became more faster?"
"Uh, maybe this train doesn't stop here?"
Suddenly, I heard a speaker say, "Dear passenger, Get out of there! This train cannot be stop!"
"What?" said Lee Hayoon.
I know this isn't just a joke. From the look of the train, I already knew something was happening.
I quickly grabbed Lee Hayoon's hand and shouted, "Everyone! Stay away from the train!"
Many people at that time were scared and ran out of the train station in fear.
I ran as fast as I could to get away from the train with Lee Hayoon who was in fear. But I'm late, the train... is already close.
At that moment, the train station lights turned off, and inside of train station became dark.
Kiiiiiikk-! The train stopped and fell off the tracks and after A few seconds later, the train exploded.
I as quickly as possible protect Lee Hayoon from that train exploded with my body.
This was the moment my normal life became changed.
