[COMPLETE] First Time

TRANSMISSION 18 - JAE

After the Prof's heavy story, we became wrapped up in our thoughts. Our thoughts were broken when Wonpil stood up and carried you towards one of the beds.

"At least she finally fell asleep," Wonpil said quietly. He went towards the pantry and made each of us some coffee.

"All this time, Sungjin would have been part of the gifted class of SpaceTime and would still be alive and well, if he did. But he didn't. The moment he laid eyes on her, he was going to follow her anywhere.  But Pil, you love her too, don't you? Why didn't you make a move?"

Wonpil choked on his coffee and glared at  me. But then his expression softened and he asked, "How about you, Jae? You're brilliant. Why aren't you part of the gifted class?"

"My body couldn't take having both teleportation and time travel so I gotta step down from the gifted class... Actually Younghyun pulled us out. But it's all good, I'm better with theories than the actual deeds so..." I shrugged and looked the both of them.

Younghyun, who was quiet the whole time finally spoke up. "We actually didn't know what he was planning until it finally happened. He gave us a way out. He knew that we would lose him so he gave us a chance to leave him."

"He was an idiot but he didn't know that so were we. In every multiverse, Younghyun and I decided to find him, so we can spend every moment with him when we could, even if he never remembered us. And this... This was the last time."

My coffee rippled and I blinked, surprised. I turned to Younghyun who was sniffing, his eyes suspiciously moist. Wonpil stood up and came back with some tissues. He handed them to me.

"What-"
"You should wipe your nose off before something else drips down your coffee."

Our coffee turned cold and the sun has just barely risen when someone knocked on our quarters.

It was the medical arts intern assigned to Sungjin. His voice low and deep, he said, "Park Sungjin is gone."
