'Time warp is not allowed, do not accept any watches from CHW.'

The announcement echoed around the city, formerly known as Seoul, now named for its technological advancements. . .Arcadia. A young man of nineteen with sandy light brown hair stood in the center of Arcadia looking very out of place amongst the simple black, white and silver. He wore a simple pair of dark blue jeans, grey graphic T-shirt, a plaid button up under a tan jacket. Black and white sneakers finished off the teens attire. His name, Changkyun, and despite actually standing within Arcadia, he didn't belong.

He was in fact, from thirty-two years in the past.

The bulky watch on his left wrist was how he accomplished warping to a time not his own. The strange watch had fallen into his possession after he found it sitting in his older brother's cafe back when he was sixteen. That was the day he had met Wonho, having fiddled with the watch and warped himself right to the year 2047. Ever since then, Changkyun has been travelling the time stream, making friends across time, but he had not seen his older brother since. Getting home seemed harder to do then visiting another random time. As much as he missed his brother, something inside him told him this is what he was meant to do. That there was a bigger purpose out there for him, he just hadn't found it yet.

"You're definitely going to draw some unwanted attention just standing around like that."

Changkyun turned as the voice caught his attention. It belonged to Wonho, the only person he actually knew in the year 2047.

A smile formed on Changkyun's lips, shrugging as if he wasn't too worried to stand out. He always seemed to stand out in one way or another no matter where he went.

"It wouldn't be the first time. . ."

"Well, it's going to get you into trouble one of these days."

"I doubt it, I've been at this for. . .three years and the only thing I've managed to do is see different time eras and make new friends."

Changkyun scoffed just as Wonho grabbed his arm and yanked him out of the crowd and into a rather small alley way. It made him feel a tad claustrophobic within the tight quarters.

"Did you not hear the announcement just now? It's that careless attitude that is going to get you into trouble. So what if it's three years, or even thirty years you've been traveling, you have to be careful."

Wonho reminded Changkyun so much of his older brother. Always worrying over him, telling him to stop this and that, to be careful. As much as it annoyed him, Changkyun knew it was because they cared. The only difference, he hasn't seen his brother in three years, but he's seen Wonho on numerous occasions now.

"Sorry, I'll be more careful."

Changkyun lowered his head apologetically, he knew he was being reckless and needed to stop. He was pulled into Wonho's arms and hugged tightly.

"I didn't mean to yell or get onto you. I just worry. What you're doing is dangerous, I don't want anything too happen to you."

"I know. Again, I'm sorry. Now stop being all weird."

Changkyun wiggled free from Wonho's hug and backed up into the opposite wall. Wonho let a sigh escape from him, Changkyun thought he had finally annoyed the older male, and he hadn't even been there more than a few minutes.

"Come on, let's get out of this alley and head on up to my place. We can talk a bit easier there."

Wonho peered around the corner, checking to make sure it was safe to leave. Changkyun took note of the hesitancy and wariness that seemed to radiate off of Wonho. Something was making his friend very nervous, that made him nervous as well. Maybe he would ask later once they were safely within Wonho's apartment.
