But then again, in her position, it's even worse.

My eyes felt heavy and I fell asleep.

I slowly woke up, there was an infinite space. And I knew exactly where I was instantly.

"Tired?" I heard and truenes over to the spirit, I stood up and realized I've became my older version. I looked at it expressionless.

"What do you want? Gonna give me a warning about to hurry up and this and that?" I stood up "warning, yes. About that, no" I looked at him confused.

I clenched my fists.

"Give the second chance to Ji Hyun" it just floated there "why?" "Why? You know why!" I shouted at it "Ji Hyun lived hell in her past life. If she's able to go through the abuse and find a way out of that fucked up place, she'll be fine. She'll be happy and get what she wants now" I glared.

"And you?" "You think I want to waste my time over something like this?" "don't be so impatient" "impatient, says the one who's rushing us! So there's your answer! Give it to Ji Hyun!"

It didn't do or say anything.

There was a big flash which took me by surprise.

I woke up.

I stared at cieling and then looked at the window. It was still night.

WITH JI HYUN
SECOND POV

You lied in your bed, looking at the wall. You soon fell asleep.

After that day, you and Seung Ho studied for the upcoming final exams hard for the past weeks.

You were studying at his place, and tomorrow was the beginning of exams.

Ha Rin came to drop off hot coco while Seung Ho wasn't present.

"Oh, thank you" "mhm, it's starting to get chilly now" she pointed out and blew the steam off of hers. You did as well, and took a small sip from your cute cat mug.

"You're not a bad person, are you?" You flinched when she asked that that. "... I guess. I won't say I'm a good person though" she nodded and sat down.

"When I met you, I honestly though you were a skank" that took you by surprise. "Wanting to get at Seung Ho for his popularity, his looks, his money, everything. That's how most girls, around here are" your grip tightened on your mug handle, you were nervous.

"Seung Ho is like my little brother. Known him since he was a little boy..." "but seeing you come often to study or just for simple stuff. I've realized, you're not like the others... you don't really care about all that stuff about him, do you?"

You looked up from your hot coco and nodded no. "Ha Rin, Seung Ho and I... we're not like that"

"You're...not?" Ha Rin was shocked "hey, if it's secret. It's fine, I won't tell a soul" my our heart clenched a little, you looked up at Ha Rin.

"There's no secret... there's just nothing between us.." Ha Rin was quiet for a little until she finally broke her silence with a big sigh, and sat down next to you.

"That's too bad.. you guys would've made a cute couple" you flinched "I'm sure Seung Ho would tear you apart if he heard you say that" you joked.

"I can see it, even if he doesn't show it. You don't annoy him as much as other people do" she took a sip from her hot coco.

"I mean c'mon, if he thought of you just as annoying as the others. I wouldn't be sitting here drinking hot coco with you" Ha Rin stared at you for awhile until she laughed.

"What's funny?" "I can tell you're happy when I told you that" "I was not!" You denied embarrassed, she stood up and laughed at you.

Seung Ho walked in, "what're you laughing about?" He asked annoyed "oh nothing!" She put her attention back on you.

"I honestly think you should give it a chance" she smirked at you. You were silent, "well I'll let you kids study, wish I could relate" she said sarcastically and left.

"She's so annoying. My brother and her make a perfect couple" he sat done across you. You didn't answer and that's when he noticed you spaced out.

"Ji Hyun?" You came back to reality, "ah sorry" you gave him a quick small smile before getting back into studying.
