"I see that you have not signed up for remedial mathematics, Miss Kwon. Do you feel like you do not need it?" Mr Lee said.

"Do you feel like I need it, Mr Lee?" I asked. He eyed me carefully.

"Tell me, Miss Kwon. What do you know about dimensions." He prompted. I laughed. A little rude, yes. But dimensions?! HAH. But...where have I heard that before?

"What do you mean? Like you want to know the meaning of the word? Or..." I clarified.

"Well then, where were you at witching hour two weeks ago?" He asked. Witching hour? Another familiar phrase. Where had I heard it?!

"You dreamt something. What did you dream, Y/N?" He pressed. He said this with such seriousness I couldn't say anything. I opened and closed my mouth like a fish in water. Mr Lee sighed, "Guess we'll do this the hard way."

He tapped my forehead and I saw the dream. That dream! That's where I heard those weird phrases. I remember.

"Ah...so they are involved. Y/N, who are these men in the dream?" Mr Lee stared into my eyes as though they held the answer to all his weird questions. And I got a feeling he did find something in them. Just not what he wanted.

Y/N, get a grip on yourself. This guy is clearly cuckoo.

But... I had that dream. He can't be saying those out of nowhere...right?

I stuttered without saying anything. "Y/N. I'm not going to ask again. Where are they?" Mr Lee sighed.

"Right here." Sojung's deep voice said. I looked into Mr Lee's eyes which was the worst mistake I made in my life. A flash of fire and Mr Lee disappeared but his eyes were still on my mind.

I turned and saw Sojung with his hand on fire, a menacing look on his face. I'm not gonna lie. I screamed and ran.

I screamed and ran. But as I ran, I saw my memories all around me. The hall swirled and the latest few moments of my life flashed before my eyes. Literally images of my life on the walls and the lockers. But they were moving backwards.

Walking with Daniel and Chanyeol. Two weeks ago, on the phone with Joohyun and before that...the dream. Everything turned black and I stopped instinctively. A flash of bright light and I blacked out.

"Kwon Y/N. Think. By following these boys, you are putting everyone in your dimension in danger. More importantly, your family will be in danger. Do you really want that?" The coffee brown eyes that I knew as Mr Lee's appeared. As I watched, they faded into a menacing bright red.

"I foresee your brother will lose his life. Your parents as well. They all die. You can prevent that Y/N. You can save them. Bring the 7 boys to me. At glassglow, on the day of the ice equinox, bring them to the ancient shrine ruins. Then we will know how much your family means to you. Otherwise...." an image appeared before me.

My beloved brother, the side of his head cracked open, scratches and wounds all over his body, bleeding like hell. Another two bodies appeared beside him... my parents. But they were alive. A shadow in the image moved in front of them. A sliver of a dagger. And another. Two daggers. "NO!" I screamed. The shadow plunged its daggers into my parents' guts. "Remember, Miss Kwon." The voice said.

Tears fell as my family's bodies disappeared. Everything went black — and I knew what it meant. The future, my future. Black. Gone. I was sobbing on my knees now.
