[COMPLETE] First Time

TRANSMISSION 12 - WONPIL

I strode out of the Dome Chamber and was about to go to the main headquarters of the mentors but Jae pulled me back.

"C'mon maaan," he gasped out, while holding on to his knees, breathing heavily. I waited for him to catch his breath before he went into full battle mode. "Is it because Sungjin and I are just regular students and you're gifted? That's abuse of power, man. I mean we ARE doing our jobs well and -"

"Jae. It's not about gifts. It's too difficult to explain. But please know that I am doing this for Sungjin's own good," I said and I was about to walk away but Jae blocked my path.

"Piri, there are some things that you can't stop, no matter what happens. This is one of them," Jae said sadly, at the same time my holophone started to sound an alarm. What used to be 10% of the multiverse threads merging had now risen to 25%.

What's happening?

"What do you mean, Jae?"

He didn't answer and just walked away. I ran back to the lab and called you on the holophone.

Sungjin was nowhere in sight.

"Pil?"

"I don't know what's happening but the merging percentage suddenly increased and -"

"Pil."

Your voice shook as if you were scared or you were trying to stop yourself from crying.

"What is it? Where are you? I'm coming to get you," I said, as I tried to ignore the panic that was rising in me.

"Pil. He 's right in front of me. Sungjin found me, Pil."

And then the call got cut off.
