Chapter 2
[ The next day ]
( In School )
Alice was walking back and forth in front of her desk as she kept thinking about how on earth she hadn't yet entered back in her real life.
« I slept last night and still Isabella? How that even possible? I thought I can get back to where am I from when I sleep? » She asked while walking.
« Isn't it how most of fiction books about breakthrough like sleep to reality? This fantasy world is playing me hard. » She asked. Woo-joo came into the class and saw Alice was walking back and forth alone in class while asking some random question. He chuckled and went to hit her head with a book.
« Ouch! You punk! » Alice groaned as she turned to Woo-joo.
« You stupid perk, are you getting lose into that fantasy world of novel of yours again? Wake up. They aren't real. » Woo-joo said and put the book on the table.
« If you don't know anything, get lost! There are things that unexplainable. » She said. Woo-joo goggle.
« Oh really? like what? baked a cake while sleepwalking? Everything has its own answer. Just you haven't discover it yet. » Woo-joo said. Alice bit her lip and stormed her foot.
« You crazy jerk. If you don't have anything good to say, leave! » She said and turned to the window.
« Don't I say the right thing? It's not unsolvable. It's just us haven't yet found it answer. Mystery can't stay as mystery longer than ever. The truth will spill out in the right timing. » Woo-joo said. Alice turned to him in surprised.
« Since when you got this thoughtful? Did you got your brain surgery to boost your IQ or something? Unbelievable. » Alice asked while touching his face.
« You are in the right temperature... » Alice said as she realized that Woo-joo was actually normal. Woo-joo chuckled and used his index finger to push her head away from him.
« I'm not dumb. I might not book smart like you but it's a basic knowledge. Everyone can say that to make them seems smart. Nothing new. » Woo-joo said.
They were standing there having a conversation when a boy from yesterday walked in with a cold attitude.
« Get out of here, you two. It's not a place for love. » The boy said as he went to sat on his chair. Woo-joo dragged Alice to behind him and turned to that boy.
« Mind your business, Woo Kyung-Jun. » Woo-joo said. Alice got curious.
" Woo Kyung-Jun...? Who is he? I haven't come across his name in this novel before... " She thought.
« Kang Woo-joo. Know your place. » That boy said an put on his headphone.
« You son- » Woo-joo was about to explode when Alice stopped him by laid out her arm to stop him from walking forward that boy.
« It's not worth it. That scumbag is nothing. » She said. Woo-joo stopped then grabbed her hand.
« Let's get out of here. » Woo-joo said. Alice nodded. They left right after that. The boy, Kyung-Jun took off his headphone as he saw them left.
« That scumbag? I'm her fiance. » He said as he smirked.
« Woo-joo is something. » Kyung-Jun said then put back on his headphone.
[ Meanwhile ]
( In hallway )
Alice was surprised by how she called Kyung-Jun a scumbag when she didn't anything about him. She was like in and out of the character suddenly without any page flipping sound popped ahead to tell her.
Woo-joo noticed that Alice was zone out again and put his hand on her shoulder as they were walking forward the cafeteria.
« What are you thinking? You still thinking about that jerk? » He asked.
« Who...? » She asked back. Woo-joo chuckled.
« Short term memory lose again? Let's go and eat something. » Woo-joo said as he dragging her to the cafeteria.
( Cafeteria )
* Page flipped *
She heard the sound. The sound that she supposed to hear before. Alice suddenly got dragged into a scene. She looked at Woo-joo who was glanced at a tall fine young woman who walked into the cafeteria with a gangster attitude.
" How on earth the author decided to make the female lead a gangster? " She thought. She smirked while she was still confused and pushed Woo-joo forward.
« Go for her. Get her attention. » She said to him. He got nervous and turned to her.
« Are you crazy? She is a gangster! » He said to her in low voice but yet panicking. Alice chuckled and pat his shoulder.
« You like her or not? Go for her! » She said then turned Woo-joo to face that girl.
« Go, bestie. » Alice whispered to Woo-joo then pushed him towards her. Woo-joo walked up to that girl nervously and took a plate from the table.
* Page flipped *
She got out the character. She looked around as everyone started to mind their business while Woo-joo and the female lead got into their characters. She sighed.
« This is the world of fantasy~ Alice~ Get use to it~ » She said to herself and walked to her seat. She watched those two being a clumsy clingy couple like while she enjoyed her cookies.
« It's kinda make sense... A clumsy clingy boy with a cold but soft girl. Hype boy and calm girl. It's kinda trending duo. » She said as she understood the author's point of view.
* Page flipped *
« Can I sit with you? » A boy asked her as he stood in front of her seat. Alice turned to him and nodded.
« You can. » She replied. He said next to her. They were minding their business for awhile until that boy turned to her as he sat next to her.
« Kyung-Jun's birthday party is coming up. » He said. Alice turned to him in confusion as she had nothing to do with Kyung-Jun.
« Last year, you got him a handmade scarf. What are you going to give him this year? » He continued. Alice was confused even more as she didn't recall any of those gift things in that novel that she read.
« I don't know... Maybe a mini house model? He likes building and houses design. » She replied while she didn't know who was Kyung-Jun really was. The boy chuckled.
« His fiancee always knew the best about him. I can't beat that. » He said then turned back to his meal. Alice was too stunned to respond.
" Fiance-Fiancee?! " She thought. She didn't recall that she was already engaged with Kyung-Jun or something in that novel. It's dragged her into a whole new fantasy.
[ Few moments later ]
( In a library )
Alice decided to come to the library as it was the only place that she could find an answer to her question. She walked from isle to isle but still, she hadn't find the right book of her answer.
" I'm going to be dead meat once I go back to where I'm from. " She thought. She came across one book that had a familiar cover. She took it out. It was actually a novel.
« Dear fantasy you? » She read the title. She opened the book to read. She was shocked by it.
« Th-that's m-me... » She said as she read the female lead character's name.
« Alice Francesca... An support character, 11th grade student, a daughter of a small businessman and an artist... This is me. » She said as she read her character info out loud. Her mom was an famous artist and her dad was just a small businessman. She got puzzled by it.
« Are...we...get... swipe...? » She asked as she realized something.
