Zhi Hua tried Joon- ho again but it failed seeming like there can only be one character for each world or maybe it's aspect. He closed his eyes to lay down again and decided to leave him for today.
Sung-Min woke up today with a renewed sense of purpose. He decided to search for a means of money today and had an idea watching his sister eat breakfast at the restaurant close to the motel.
"The food isn't running away" Sung Min said casually
"What do you want, Min-ah" Sung Ha said shoving even more food in.
"You're reasonably smart right" Sung Min said casually
"I'd say a 100% better than you so yes, I am" she replied proudly
"If you're so smart then make uneducated people like us rich" Sung Min said decided not to reply to her since after all he is the oldest one.
"Already started, now let me eat in peace" she said
"With what, if I were to guess then it'll be Bitcoin or crypto" Sung Min said
He got no response so that must mean that he was right. He started to think of the direction after he got all the money, of his road map to revenge to all those who caused him pain and suffering starting with the adoptive parents who sold him as labor to anyone they could find until he ran away.
Sung Ha left to research on something while I went to an internet cafe to research on companies that had an average level of power in the business world. I didn't have the luxury of an education and neither do I have the brain to start a business from scratch so the only choice is to buy one and develop it from there and that's how the day was spent with researching.
"Zhi Hua" Feng said
Zhi Hua woke up. The feeling he got from switching back this time was like waking up from a dream, watching someone else with his face interact with the world then all of a sudden he was yanked out of the dream to the waking world.
"Are you awake" Feng asked cautiously
"It's me" Zhi Hua said rubbing his eyes and stretching
"Like I care" she snorted but was rewarded with her cheeks being pinched hard
"What time is it and what day is it" Zhi Hua asked releasing her face.
"It's morning and the day after you let that guy run free" Feng said rubbing her cheeks
"Is it immediately he woke up that you called my name" Zhi Hua asked
"I was curious and tried it in your sleep so when you woke up this morning, it was you" Feng said
"So I'm an experiment to you now. Did you have fun" Zhi Hua said smiling gently
"I'm going for breakfast" Feng said running out the room.
Zhi Hua let out a 'tsk' then took a shower. The water managed to wake him up from his groggy state so that he could finally analyze the experience. The switch was like suddenly falling unconscious and then he suddenly found himself in a dark place with only a screen infront of him showing what he was doing. Zhi Hua moved around for a while walking in the darkness in a straight line but there was nothing to see and no sound to hear except from the voices on the screen so he gave up and came back.
He examined the screen which was a white fog with the images forming on it. He tried to walk behind the screen but he hit a wall of darkness and that's when he realized it was actually the mist again. Zhi Hua used one hand to rub the nose that was smashed into the fog and the other hand to feel the thick fog that was made into a wall, he couldn't grab it because it had the texture of concrete so he tried to feel around for anything special.
After examining, he found nothing. He sat on the floor to watch what was happening, which after a while is very uncomfortable.
If only this place was like a movie theater, Zhi Hua sighed
There was a huge rumble and leather seats started growing out of the darkness, the darkness began to form shaes and designs until he was sitting in an actual movie theater like the ones back home. Zhi Hua couldn't describe the process of the transformation because it seemingly happened in the blink of an eye.
He stood up from the seat infront of him and walked around for a bit curious to see if there was an entrance and exit too. He walked down the steps to see that there was a door but it had no sign. He hesitated because he doesn't know what to expect on the other side of the door but his worries were not needed as the door couldn't open. He realized that it has a keyhole so he went back to search for keys but came up with nothing.
I would really like some popcorn and drinks too, Zhi thought waiting but there was no scene of a popcorn appearing so he gave up. Well he doesn't trust that it would be safe to eat something created by the mist anyway so maybe he can try to bring something in next time.
When muttering that to himself, he seemed to remember that this wasn't the normal mist that uses him like a toy; throwing him to another world without caring for his well-being then choking him in his dream to wake him up. It did resemble it but there was a subtle difference in the fact that there was something missing from the original that he was used to, if Zhi Hua had to guess then he would say the element that makes it eerie and unique but that relieved Zhi Hua.
There was also something familiar about the mist here which means that he has something separate from the original that he could use for himself. He naturally doesn't trust the mist and it's origin because of the abuse he has suffered at their hands, he was always used as a conduit for the tig of war against the author.
Zhi Hua turned to the screen to watch for a while and he realized that he could also hear the thoughts of the other guy. The way he found out was when the other guy sat in the cafe researching, he started hearing his voice. Zhi Hua thought he was speaking out loud at first but he soon realized his mouth wasn't moving at all and that's how he knew he was listening to his inner thoughts.
Zhi Hua watched the rest of the day go by while thinking that his main character needed a nickname to refer to him when he needs about him. Zhi Hua wasn't that good at finding nicknames for people so he just decided to use the name of the series he was currently practicing; villian.
He even had to watch him sleep. So when he was suddenly yanked into the roof of the movie theater in a very high speed, he had a heart attack and woke up in reality. He started to wonder why everything involving that stupid mist had to do with giving him a hard time.
