Lost In Reverie

Chapter 2

"Where are you going? We still have another class to attend to", Seungcheol said while putting his calculator away. "We still have homeroom".

"Yeah! And Mister Kang said he'll introduce the new kid!", Soonyoung said.

"Not interested and besides, I have to finish my project", I said while fixing my things. "Bye".

I walked out of the room with my book in front of my face, just in case I'd bump into sir. It would be safe for me if he didn't know and notice that I skipped his class.

Luckily, no one was paying any attention to me. They were all too busy with their lockers. I stopped on mine and saw a serenity envelope, the same envelope that the Mingyu guy sent me. I opened it and my eyes widened at what was written.

To Clark, the World Walker,

Hello!

This is Mingyu again! I know that this is too much but I would like to meet you this afternoon at the Lion's Gate after dismissal. You know, the park near here. I want to show you something.

Your Co-World Walker,

Kim Mingyu

"HE'S STUDYING HERE?!?"

I know it's too early for me to assume that he's that kid but... Isn't it too coincidental for him to appear here, at the same time that the transferee did?

I quickly ran to our room and opened the door, attracting everyone's attention. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and stood straight.

"Mister Jeon! Why are you late?", Mister Kang asked before raising a brow at me.

I wasn't even paying attention to what he was saying because of the guy beside him. He was looking at me with a smile that showed his canine teeth.

"It is you...", I mumbled under my breathe.

"Clark!", he shouted from the podium.

"Huh?"

"Who's Clark?"

"Was he referring to Wonwoo?"

"Superman?"

He went in front of me and shook my hand excitedly. I withdrew my hand from his hold and took a step backwards. He's too close to me and it weirds me out.

"I idolize you sooo much!", he said like a fanboy meeting his idol.

"Jeon's famous?"

I glared at the one who said that and looked back at the smiling guy in front of me.

"Why did he call you Clark, Wonwoo?", Seungcheol asked with both of his eyebrows quirked upward.

"Let's go", I said and dragged Mingyu out of the room.

Mister Kang was calling us but I ignored him and tightened my grip on his wrist. He wasn't struggling so it was easier for me to bring him outside. If anything, he was more than willing to come along. Weirdo...

I let go of his hands and faced him. "What. Are. You. Doing. Here?!?", I asked with gritted teeth.

"I'm going to study here", he said, brows furrowed. "Is there a problem with that?".

"Big problem. We can't be in the same place!", I said.

He looked at me confused. He crossed his arm and raised a brow at me.

"Why not?", he asked while taking a step closer to me.

I pushed him and gave him a blank stare. He grinned at me and took another step forward.

"Why not~?", he asked again, his face only inches from mine.

"Because..."

"Because~?"

I gave him a headbutt and pushed him again. This time, making him lose his balance. I grabbed his collar and looked at his pained face.

"Because this is my territory", I said before letting him go.

I started walking home when he grabbed my arm. I turned to look at him and was met by his finger, that flicked my forehead.

"What the-"

"-never thought you'd act this way, considering we've just met...", he said with a pout. "... And that we're just the same".

"Are you two fighting?!?", Seungcheol asked as he was approaching us along with the others.

"Wonwoo?", Jisoo looked at me as if I did something wrong.

"What?!? I did nothing-"

"-he pushed me two times and gave me a headbutt", Mingyu cut me off and showed his red forehead.

What the actual f**k?

The other guys looked at me with accusing eyes.

"He flicked my forehead-"

"-after you gave me a headbutt and pushed me", he cuts me off again.

This snitch!!!

Seungcheol went in between us and grabbed our hands before letting them touch each other.

"I want you two to work it out", he said in a commanding voice which scared the s**t out of me.

Angry Seungcheol hyung is one of the scariest things I don't wanna see again. Last time he got mad, someone was hospitalized.

"Hey guys~ What's happening here?", Jeonghan asked while walking with our other friends.

"Oooh~ Looks like we have a new friend! Oh hi Vernonnie~", Seungkwan said and gave Vernon a playful punch on the shoulders.

"Jihoonnie~", Soonyoung called to his self-proclaimed best friend.

Jihoon looked up from his phone's screen and looked at us, eyes widening as he saw Kim Mingyu waving his hands at him. Well, who wouldn't be surprised if you saw two world walkers in the same place. He quickly went in front of us and dragged us to the Lion's Gate, even though his best friend was calling him.

"Why are you two with each other?!?", Jihoon asked us.

"Don't ask me! I've been here for almost six years now! Ask that guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere", I pointed to Mingyu with a blank face.

"I-I... I mean, me and my mom went here for her work...", he said with his head bowed. "I didn't knew he was a world walker like me... Until he entered my dream and tried buying a coffee from me".

He said while looking at me with a faint smile. I rolled my eyes and looked at Jihoon who's trying to read the situation. He sighed and massaged his temples.

"I guess there's nothing we can do about it-"

"-WHAT?!?", I yelled.

The two glared at me. I looked at the people surrounding us and saw them looking at us. I bowed at them and they continued doing what they were doing. I sighed and looked back at them.

"Fix this", I said to Jihoon and walked away.

All of this shouting and talking made my head hurt and I hate it! The throbbing of my head worsened as random images enter my mind. More like me entering automatically inside other people's daydreams.

"A-are you okay... Clark hyung?"

I flinched after knowing who owns the voice. That scumbag... What is he doing here?!? Is he following me?

"What are you doing here?", I said and continued walking.

I noticed him following me so I faced him. My face hit his chest and my headache worsened. Tsk... Feels like a hangover...

"Clark!", that was all I heard before everything turned pitch black.

Once again, I'm back on the day where I lost everything. My beloved mother, my hardworking father, and my adorable twin sister. All because of a f*****g accident.

I turned right, and saw my sister's horrified face with blood . I felt someone's arms wrapped around me and I looked up to see my mom's angelic face, pale and mutilated. Dad, on the other hand was there on the driver's seat, glass shards stabbed on his face, that resembles mine.

I know this is a dream but... Why? The pain... It feels so real and I can't move. My knees are too weak to even carry myself...

"H-hello?", I heard a familiar voice from outside.

I closed my eyes and tried to wake myself up.

Wake up... Wake up... Wake up...

"There you-are? Who are you?", the voice asked.

I weakly opened my eyes as I felt a pair of hands reaching out to me. And when it did, I felt warm. It carried me slowly, carefully. The sunlight hit my face and my eyes caught a glimpse of a guy's silhouette.

"Everything will be okay, kid. Trust me"

"Wonwoo!!! Wake up!!!", Jisoo yelled in my ears.

I automatically got up and hit my head on the bed. s**t! Does he really have to do that?

"Thanks goodness you're awake. We'll be late for school. It's 6:49 now", he said before going out of the room.

Is he f*****g kidding me? It's still 41 minutes early before the bell rings!

I was about to lay down again when something hard hit my head. I sat down again and glared at whoever threw that thing on my head.

"What the-Jihoon?!?"

"Wake up asshole. We've gotta talk about something", he said before leaving the room.

I looked at the thing that Jihoon threw at me and cursed loudly. It was the 3-inch thick Harry Potter book on my shelf!!!

I sat down and cursed while rubbing the part of my head that hurt.

"Wait... What is he doing here anyway?"
