"Kang Ye-Jun..Kang Ye-Jun.."
◇Who's calling my name..? And why is it still dark? Did someone turn off the street lights..◇
"KANG YE-JUN!"
"!!!"
I jump up from the loud voice, I think he screamed right in my ear
"Young man, just because you can't see, doesn't mean you can't hear!"
◇Can't see? Of course I can. My eyes are just closed at the moment..I think◇
◇Wait, why can't I open my eyes??◇
[Whisper] "Eeugh, just why is he widening his eyes so much? It's looks weird.."
◇I hear another voice, no, more than just one voice. I hear giggles from all around..◇
[THUMP THUMP, THUMP THUMP, THUMP THUMP, THUMP THUMP!]
I put my hand to my chest
◇Is this my heart beat?◇
◇why is it beating so fast all of a sudden?*
"W-who are you..?"
[Sigh]
"It's your homeroom teacher, TEA-CHER."
"Would you like me to also spell It's out for you?"
[Hahhahah]

●UNDERSTOOD●
[TING]
●EYESIGHT: ON●
●REMAING TIME: 9 MIN, 59 SEC●
●COOLDOWN: 2 DAY●
◇Just where the heck am I..?◇
***
◇I sat here for that past 10 minutes talking to this voice in my head,I asked many questions but it just uselessly replied-◇
●ANSWER UNAVAILABLE●
And then my vision went dark again.
I slumped back in my chair, crossing my arms.
I asked-
◇hey, just how am I supposed to lower this cooldown?◇
Expecting the same answer "answer unavailable"
[TING]
●DRAW●
◇Draw?◇
◇Learning a new word so fast, how cute.◇
I feel around for the pen I saw on my desk earlier
I pick it up and draw a circle on the table
◇there, I did it.◇
●TWO MIN REDUCED FROM COOLDOWN●
●COOLDOWN: 1 DAY, 23 HOUR, 58 MIN, 00 SECOND
◇What? Only two minutes?◇
Then for the next 15 minutes I drew as many circles my hand could manage.
[TING]
●EYESIGHT: ON●
●REMAING TIME: 14 MIN, 59 SEC●
●COOLDOWN: 3 DAY●
◇So my eyesight increases by 5 minutes but the cooldown increases by a day..how is this fair?◇
◇will I have to draw circles for the rest of my life..?◇
●DRAW BETTER●
◇Hah, why didn't you just say so to begin with◇
I look down at the desk I drew on, there aren't any circles, in fact the desk looks quite clean.
◇Hey, you. Just where in the world did all my circles go?◇
[BURP]
◇???◇
●TASTES BAD..●
◇T-tastes? My drawing??◇
I pick up the pen again and draw a circle..
[TING]
●COOLDOWN: 2 DAY, 23 HOUR, 58 MIN, 00 SEC●
It's gone, like poof, the drawing disappeared.
●BAD...●
◇yet you still ate it..◇
I take its advice and draw a mandala
◇alright I'm finished with this drawing, now what◇
It's gone again
●COOLDOWN: 2 DAY, 23 HOUR, 48 MIN, 00 SEC●
◇Oh? So the better the drawing, the better the reward◇
[DINGG DINGG]
"Alright, that's the bell, make sure to read chapter 16 over the weekend. Class dismissed.
I start drawing on the desk again
Then someone taps my desk.
I look up to see a boy with bright orange hair with lots of piercings, next to him is a pair of twins who look equally ugly.
"Hey blindy, why are you staring so hard it's not like you can see."
The two minions start laughing at the same time.
◇I don't have time for this, my remaining eyesight is running out◇
I get up from my chair and walk away, leaving the classroom
"What the f*ck? Did he actually loose his hearing too?"
As I'm walking down the hallway, I get many stares. Everyone is blatantly pointing finger my direction.
◇Hey can't you just tell me why I'm blind, and especially while I'm in highschool◇
◇people said I look really young for a twenty-eight years old man but I don't think they meant this young◇
Before this thing could tell me anything
A girl shouts from a distance behind me
"Oppa!"
I ignore it, thinking that it doesn't have anything to do with me
Then suddenly someone grabs my hand from behind.
It's the girl that shouted
"Oppa, why are you ignoring me?"
◇"Oppa?", I don't have a younger sister◇
◇hey what is this bullshit? I've never had a sibling in the thirty years I lived◇
●YOU'RE KANG YE-JUN BUT IN A DIFFERENT TIME LINE. HERE SOME THINGS ARE DIFFERENT●
◇Oh so you van speak full sentences, already at the toddler stage but I wish I knew that a bit early◇
"Oppa are you sick, I bet you had a long day let's go home quickly so you can rest."
Walking out of the school my so called younger sister walks to the bike stations.
◇I'm not well off here? You gotta be kidding me.◇
◇I was always picked up by a driver to take me home when my parents were busy, but now I'm on the back of a bicycle on my way to some strangers house..◇
***
"Alright we're here, let me help you off"
◇I'm somewhat grateful this girl is here, now that my eyesight has turned off, she's basically doing everything for me◇
I made my way inside while grabbing onto her arm.
She led me to my room and sat me on the bed.
"Just let me know if you need anything alright"
Before she left the room i shouted to her
"Hey..! Uhh..sister?"
"What's up?"
"Could you grab me a pen and paper?"
"I think I want to draw a bit.."
