"I think we should take Alyssa out" says Ji-hye. She has the wonder and happiness of a child, but I can see that she hasn't had a great life. "Yes! hmm. How about. Ooooh, we play floppy flop". "Pffft. What's that?" I ask. "You'll see" Byung-joon says with a laugh. "Are you sure she won't kill one of us" Beom-soon says. I can tell he's still angry that I don't remember who they all are. Ji-hye gives him a look. "AGH fine. get your stuff. I guess we're playing floppy flop". They all gather things in a bag and just tell me to come along. We all walk through the grass, we have already been walking for about an hour when we reach a lake. Spread out far. "Okay. Who's carrying Alyssa?" Ji-hye asks. "Do you not think trying out what she previously learnt would help her remember" Byung-ho said with the most irratated expression I had ever seen. "Are you crazy. She'll die" Ji-hye said, which made me smile. She was always ready to defend me. "Shut up Ji-hye, what do you know?! I think Byung-ho is right" said Beam-soon. Ji-hye's face turned red and she clenched her fists, when she did that the ground slightly vibrated and Byung-joon rushed to grab her hand and whispered "calm down, Alyssa can't know the truth yet". Ji-hye blinked slowly and her eyes slowly got less red.
"Your crazy!" Beom-soon said to Alyssa. "Stop it!" Byung-joon yelled. One by one they dived into the lake and after a minute or so after re imerged on the other side. Naturally I assumed I should do the same. So I dived, "ALYSSA NO!!!!". There was no splash when I entered the water. My eyes flew open and I saw a woman swimming towards me. "Finally, Alyssa. My child. You have returned. So. I see Byung-ho still loves you" she said with a wicked smile. "Wha....", "Don't talk. This water will be detrimental to your health. As much as I want you dead. I need you alive." . *cough cough* " Alyssa", "who was that woman?". " No one . She doesn't live there. She lives anywhere that your not supposed to be. If you ever see her. Run. Without us around, she'll kill you". But she said she needed me alive. It had been hours since we got home. It was about 7 PM. Dark outside. I climbed onto the roof. I couldn't sleep. After about half an hour of sitting on the roof Byung-ho joined me. "Couldn't sleep?" he asked. "Why am I here?" I asked after a few moments of hesitation. "I can't..., tell you that. Yet" he said. Then he grabbed my hand. Once again I remembered everything. That I loved him and he loves me. I lived here after Earth was destroyed. He was the one who let me di. ..... He let go of my hand.
