I woke up from a blank dream, was it blank though? I checked the class clock, it was recess/lunch time. I looked at Riki who was eating his food with his heart out. He must've really like it as he was munching on it too hard.

I checked my phone, to see any new messages. It was currently 21st August 2024. I could've sworn minutes ago was 19th August 2024. I must be tripping cause time nowadays is moving relatively fast, it's almost like I'm about to get married and have grandchildren of my own.

The class was half empty as people were at the school's store. It was somewhat popular with its items to satisfy some students.

It felt really empty, only Riki and Bora, and some other random students I don't interact with, was in the class. Bora was eating whatever was brought by Taehyun as he was here a second ago.

I needed some fresh air, today felt really weird. I can't recall any lessons before recess/lunch time. It was as if I lost some of my memories and I could only remember this part.

I headed to the rooftop, getting the fresh air I needed. I didn't realize how the view from the school to the mountains was beautiful. As I was leaving, I could hear two voices coming from near the ventilation area of the rooftop.

I had two decisions. Eavesdrop or mind my own business. Somehow, my body and mind decided to eavesdrop on their conversation. It was like the saying, curiousity killed the cat. But instead, it killed who I was seconds ago.

"She'll never know right?" A familiar voice said, it sounded like my classmate. If I could recall, it was Soo Yun. She's the one who has Bora as her seatmate. Normal I guess, but who wouldn't know? Who was Soo Yun talking to?

"Never, she was dumb enough to fall for me." Another familiar voice said, but this time it belonged to a male. I couldn't really track whose voice it was as the ventilation kind of blocked some of their conversations.

This is stupid.

I shouldn't eavesdrop on people's conversation.

Their business isn't my business.

I should leave.

As I was about to stand up, I accidentally knocked on some bricks that was getting through my way. I think they heard it and was about to investigate it but I ran as fast as possible and hid behind a wall. I even manage to wonder why there were no students up the rooftop?

"Taehyun, I think we should go now." The voice that belonged to Soo Yun said.

Wait, Taehyun?

Taehyun was CHEATING on Bora?

Should I tell her? I don't know, she might not believe me. As they were leaving, something happened.

I woke up from that horrendous dream, it was one of those dreams. Another dream that could be real or not, although I only had 3 dreams like these, including this one. I can't be sure if it's just coincidence.

I looked at the teacher who was in front of me, did class already start? I must be in trouble. Why didn't my friends wake me up? They're so going to get it.

At the end, I got scolded by my teacher, it was a really harsh scold. I practically almost cried, which is a joke.

I checked the time, it's not recess. I checked my phone. It was 19th August 2024, the date in my dream said 21st August 2024. It was 2 days before the incident happened. What do I do? I'm stuck in a trance.
