[COMPLETE] First Time

TRANSMISSION 09 - WONPIL

After leaving their room, I called you on my holophone.

"PIL, I WAS ABOUT TO CALL YOU! SOMETHING'S HAPPENED -"

"I know you two met," I said, a weird feeling creeping over me.

"I didn't mean to, Pil. I was just trying to get to class! He pushed Jaehyung and Jaehyung landed on me - "

"WHAT?! Are you okay?!"

"My foot kinda hurts, I think I twisted it a bit when I landed."

"Hold on, coming to get you, okay?" I said, worriedly.

"No, no, I'll go to where you are. I'll meet you at the lab. I'll bring dinner."

"... I'll check the development of this multiverse, then."

"See you, Pil. It won't happen again."

I really hope not. I hope he gets the message. But what was that feeling? This negative feeling I feel with things related to Sungjin. I mean I want you to be happy but -

"Piri, I'm here ~ I brought dinner... Are you okay? You look... Well... Not good."

I forced a smile and gestured for her to sit down. I got the first aid kit and bandaged her foot.

"You should have this checked. It's swelling a bit."

"Pil?"

"Hm?"

"Do you maybe like me? Because ... "

Ah. That would explain me wanting to stay by her side. And I finally knew the name of that weird feeling.

It was jealousy.

"Yes. No, not maybe. I like you," I said, as I continued to bandage her foot. "But that's not important right now, what's important is this multiverse thread has started to converge with the one you just came from and Sungjin has started to manifest more obvious symptoms," I said as I finsihed bandaging your foot and looked straight into your eyes but you blushed and looked down.

I stood up and my eyes widened at the warning that flashed on the motherboard.
"The odds of you meeting him are increasing at an alarming rate. Does he have your schedule or something?"

Your eyes widened as you frantically searched your bag. "Wonpil! I dropped my holonote somewhere and some of my other things, it must be that time when Jae crashed into me... And Sungjin must have it!"

At the same time we heard a knock and Sungjin called out, "Wonpil? Are you there? There's something I need to talk to you about."

Our eyes met and from blushing, you paled considerably. I shushed you and helped you hide, then went outside to meet the man you love.

I opened the door and none of us said anything at first.

"Why are you up and about, Sungjin? You should be resting."

He gave me your things. "Sorry about Jae, man. I had no plans of going to the Chrono Ball, I never did."

"It's alright. But what I said still stands. Stay away from her... It's for your own good."

"Why so serious? Would meeting her kill me or something?"

You have no idea.

I pushed away that morbid thought and said, "It's getting late, I'll just finish up here and retire for the night. Sungjin, you'd better make good use of those 3 days," putting an end to our conversation.

"See you around, bro." Sungjin turned to leave and I softly said, "Live a long life, Sungjin."

I went back inside the lab, but you were nowhere to be found. I saw your note beside our dinner that read, "Went back to the dorms. My foot hurts, but hearing his voice hurts more."

I sighed and continued eating dinner, my appetite gone.

Kim Wonpil, you big ,big fool.
