When the Past Meets the Future

Seungkwan slowly opened his eyes. At first, everything around him was a blur of light and silence, broken by strange sounds—humming, rustling, quiet voices. He tried to move, but his body wobbled, as if the weight of the past was weighing him down. He raised his head and blinked several times, trying to focus his gaze. Ahead of him sat a girl, watching him intently. Her eyes seemed… alive, unlike anything he'd ever seen in his world. He sat up slowly, carefully bracing himself on the bed with his hands. His fingers trembled, and his arms felt strangely light and weak. Each breath echoed in his chest with a strange sound—and he realized he was breathing, but he didn't know where. "Where... am I?" he said quietly, almost in a whisper, trying to figure out who was nearby. He turned his head, taking in the entire room. The light, the walls, the strange objects… He didn't know what to call it. "What's going on?" he asked again quietly, his eyes wide. His gaze slid over the girl, studying her face, her calm and stillness. He slowly raised his hand, as if about to touch something, but lowered it, hesitating. "Who... are you?" he finally said, his voice trembling. He didn't know her name or where he was. Everything was alien, every sound, every light—a new world. He glanced around cautiously, trying to discern if anyone else was there. His movements were slow, each action accompanied by a hint of apprehension, yet also curiosity. He still didn't understand how he'd ended up here, but his eyes clung to the girl. Her presence was the only familiarity he could hold onto. He tried to stand again, using the bed as support. His shoulders tensed, his breathing became more even, but his gaze never left her. Every movement was cautious, as if he were afraid to move too quickly and violate the invisible boundaries of the world he had entered. “I… I don’t understand,” he muttered, sitting up straight. His hands trembled slightly, his fingers clenched into fists, his eyes staring at her. “Where is this? Why… am I here?”
