Chapter 1: Dream

"I have always been wondering, And always wanted to ask myself this. What's love? What is the difference between like and dislike? What does respect even mean?" Thinking about this myself in a street of crowded people in this city.

Then suddenly I came to see some unknown person who asked for me to have a talk somewhere else. I didn't hesitate and responded with a weird face. Yet once I have reached my destination, the person disappeared. Was it just my imagination? Or not...

Yeah.. I headed to my room after I got to my home taking a nap on my bed.

The next day, I woke up in despair with depression thinking what I witnessed about yesterday's history. My father knocked on my door then said "don't be late for school, breakfast is ready. Make sure to lock the door after your heading to school okay? I'll let you take the key for today." I shouted "okay", after that. Not some time later, I headed to school after doing what my father told me to do.

I then suddenly realized at that moment. "Wait, wasn't I taking a nap yesterday at night?" Geez, what a pain. I really forgot that then later on I fell asleep.

My friend whose name is Eneru 14 years old and a boy named Yin who's also 14 years old came to me then asked me if I wanted to go to a cafe after school or not. I wasn't busy I just nodded with a yes and we all agreed. At the science subject, the new student accidentally poured in the wrong chemicals then a massive amount of air bubble looking from a test tube holding by a retort stand.

He was holding an eyedropper getting frustrated after seeing what he had done. The teacher doesn't really blame him that much but instead, the teacher is just straight up ignoring and telling him to clean the mess he made. But that's kind of new to me, isn't the teacher supposed to be mad at the students for what they did?

After the rang, the class was dismissed. We three of us went to the cafe and had a nice chat about some hot girls being found at chrome. Eneru showed us some cool magic tricks for no reason and also taught us how to do them. "Geez yin, you sure simp for such girls online do you not?". "Woah chill man, to me I'd smash them before anybody else" I'm the only one who is just messaging and chatting with friends I don't even know in discord and messenger. I mostly use telegram and Whatsapp for schools and real life friends. 4 hours have passed, yet we're still here at the cafe wandering around while holding our phone. If I were to be honest, I respect Eneru for still doing and inventing cool magic tricks just for us to be impressed. "Hey man, how's your life goin?" I just felt kind of sad after hearing what my friend questioned me about. I responded saying "yeah really great out there, I can't wait to explore the world! " Laughing with false emotions. My friend Eneru believed in me and joined in the laugh. While yin... Forget about it, he's still looking at those girls online..

After some time later, we decided to go back home and have a nice bath.

Later then, my father came back with a exhausted feelings. "Man, working sure is difficult isn't it?" A flash before my eyes. "What happened? Where am I? Where is this?" There was nothing. Except for mist and rain. I screamed for help, but no one came. I shouted for my father to come save me. But still, no one came. Until a girl came approaching me, saying "who are you?" "Why are you here?". That's what I was gonna say.. but I guess the table flipped outside down..

Hey what's your name? "We could be friend and stuff here, since it's only you and I here in this lonely place in a world of transparency and a rainy mist" I smiled happily wanting to find such a place like this in the real world. "If I could choose the place where I wanted to go, I would definitely come here from the first thing in my mind." Saying this to myself so I wouldn't forget. "hey, hey??"

"Oh yeah umm by the way my name is-"

Hey! Wake up! "Huh..what happened just now??"

"You fell asleep with an impact to the ground, when I heard it I knew something was off."

Man, I couldn't even remember the place anymore now..what a pain. I cried for myself after I got to my bed.

Suddenly later on, I was fading in to the other world again. I remembered everything. But couldn't see anyone this time in my surroundings,

Boy! I could wait here for a lot of years just to hear the sound of the raindrops and the coldness of the level. The lady from before came just right behind me again saying "Now that I told you my name, what's yours?" But, I couldn't remember my name..

Why did this happened? Man. "Umm let's just hangout crouching here and looking at the sky shall we?" She said okay with no hesitation. We had a nice conversation and having fun together too but why am I feeling these water? Aren't dream supposed to be just like an air.

The lady then replied "this is our freedom, we can feel anything and do what we want anywhere. Also this world and our real world have different timeline"
