Second Try, Same Classroom
I've been here before
Han Ji-woo woke up feeling oddly calm.
No panic nor any confusion.
Just the quiet certainty that something had gone wrong in a very specific way.
The ceiling above her was familiar.....too familiar. The small crack near the corner, the faded poster she never bothered to take down. She turned her head and saw her phone vibrating on the desk.
Yoon Ara
Jiwoo, are you awake?📲
Ji-woo picked up her phone and checked the date.
Her breath caught, goosebumps creeping all over.
Yoon Ara
You better hurry!!
Yoon Ara
I'm outside your house right now
Yoon Ara
If you're late, I'm gonna be late too idiot!
Ji-woo put the phone down and leaned back for a moment.
"So this is how it starts again."
The school gates were crowded like always.
Students complained about homework, laughed too loudly, pushed past each other without care. Ji-woo walked through them quietly, feeling separate from it all.
Yoon Ara
You’re acting strange today
Yoon Ara
Youu haven't complained once today!
Yoon Ara
That is definitely nawt normal
The classroom door slid open
The noise died down as the teacher entered, followed by a boy Jiwoo had never seen here before.
Tall. Neat uniform. Calm eyes that didn’t match the restless classroom
Ms. Garam
We have a new transfer student, introduce yourself
Jiwoo's pen stopped mid sentence
In her first life, she had only ever read it on screens. Now it existed beside her.
Yoon Ara
(whisper) He's kind of scary don't you think...?
Minjae’s gaze moved across the room before stopping beside her.
Seo Minjae
Is this seat taken?
Yoon Ara
I'm so sorry!! I should've just sat next to you 📲
Han Jiwoo
It's okay, you have other friends too📲
Han Jiwoo
Don't worry about me. 📲
Yoon Ara
Seriously... that guy gives off bad vibes..📲
During class, Jiwoo noticed everything.
Minjae never wasted movements. When he wrote, it was neat and quick. When he spoke, teachers listened.
Ms. Garam
....who can solve this question?
Han Jiwoo
I can. *raises hand*
Han Jiwoo
This formula is wrong, you didn't convert it into units.
The teacher checked, then nodded
Seo Minjae
You noticed fast
Han Jiwoo
I just paid attention.
After school, the sky darkened.
Jiwoo stopped at the crosswalk without realizing it.
Seo Minjae
Don't cross yet
Seo Minjae
Wait ten seconds
A truck ran the red light.
Han Jiwoo
..how did you know..?
Seo Minjae
Because you're not the only one who came back
