                  Jihee made Jungwon's bracelet glow in hopes that he would finally read her message. Not that she was some needy lover, she was just very bored and having to wait for him was no easy task especially with her lack of patience.

The library was awfully cold and quiet, the perfect place to have a long nap (which was what most of the students inside the library were doing) and of course, study. She only chose to stay there because it was cold and no one would dare break her peace because of the required overbearing silence.

But there was a gift Jihee was particularly thankful for she even had, and it was that she could easily tell when someone was looking at her. And the catch was, she always knew where to find those pair of eyes that has been piercing through her, filming in their memories every single movement she make.

Looking to her right, she finally saw the culprits. Two familiar men, who surprisingly jumped out of fear when she had look towards their direction.

And yet those weren't the only eyes watching her. Looking to her back, the culprit was quick to hide herself behind the big book she had in her hands. Jihee could already tell who it was.

She put her phone down and crossed her arms, a slight smirk appearing on her face.

All eyes are on me.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Jungwon knocked on the door to his family house, hoping that Jihee was home and had not headed to who knows where. A minute passed and the door finally opened on its own again, another indication that she was home but she was just too lazy to open the door on her own.

"You know, you can open the door on your own. What if it wasn't me?" He said, closing the door behind him as his gaze wandered around looking for her. "Jihee?" He called but the only response he got was the crystal on his bracelet, glowing.

And as he was looking around, he caught sight of the familiar candle sitting by his family portrait which to his surprise was now half its original size. But that wasn't the only thing different about the candle, for some reason the flame seemed weaker. It was very strong back then, and apparently that's not how candles should work.

The flame should be getting taller the more the candle shrinks but the one in the dome was different. But then again it was a product of Jihee's magic, it being unique shouldn't seem like a surprise to him.

He walked closer to it, watching it with a much smaller distance than before.

"I wouldn't touch that if I were you." Jungwon turned his head, ready to rebut only to find himself stunned by how pretty Jihee looked in her white dress that he remember her showing him once.

"You know we're going to ride our bikes, right?" He smiled.

"Yang Jungwon!" She dramatically says in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that he would even ask her that. "It's like you don't know me, it hurts you know?" She frowns. In no less than a second she snapped her fingers and the skirt part of her dress turned into pants, the top remains the same which was a win for Jihee who really loved the dress.

"Ah I forgot how much you cheat in life." He said, crossing his arms. "You look pretty today."

A hint color of pink appeared on her cheeks but instead of feeling shy about it, she smiled. "Thanks. Glad you like the dress I shoplifted because you didn't want me to spend money." She said, turning the dress back to its original state first to show him.

He crossed his arms, half smiling in the process. "You spend so much money that people are going to start thinking you're a daughter of some big time criminal."

She shrugged. "Fair enough." She says, turning her dress back to her pants. "Shall we get going?"

He nods, leading the way to the doorway. As soon as Jihee got out of the house, he closed the door behind him and they both approached their bikes that was parked in front. Truth be told, when he had asked her to go out with him on the weekends, she was expecting he would at least tell where they were heading. Yet there they were on the actual day they were supposed to go out, and she still remained clueless to their destination.

She doubted her mind reading would be able to pierce the protection spell casted on Jungwon. Not too mention, she hated using her mind reading because most of the times what others were thinking was too disgusting or messed up for her. Hopping in her bike, the two pedaled with him at the front while she tailed behind him. The sky used to be cloudier earlier but using a spell she barely used, she cleared the sky to make sure no rain would be able to ruin the day.

Finally coming to a stop, she quickly took in the fact that they were at the convenience store. "What are we doing here?" She asked, curious as she was parking her bike.

"Buying food." He smiled, opening the door for her like a gentleman. Something he used to do even before they— cough— kissed and started acting somewhere more than friends. "I'm paying so don't even think about shoplifting or creating money."

With a pout plastered on her face, she agreed to his terms. Entering the convenience store, he remained behind her as he watched her pick what food to bring for wherever their destination was. She didn't need to eat so instead of picking the food she liked, she chose the food she always saw him eat.

Little did she know, Jungwon was doing the exact same thing. Rather than picking his favorites, he chose the ones she really liked.

Placing the food they bought, she stood behind him as he had told her to do just for precautionary measures in case she tries paying the food with money she conjured up. A small smile appeared on her face as she realized how good he looked like from her point of view. She may have seen many beautiful faces that threatens sculptures created in the renaissance, truly nothing could compare to Yang Jungwon.

Turning his head to her, he smiled showing his cute dimples. "Let's go?"

She nods, following him out of the convenience store. "So now off to where?" She asked, attempting once more if she could get an answer from him.

"Can you return our bikes back to my house?" He asked her back, confusing her.

"I can, but why? Are we going to walk all the way there?" He nods as a response to her question. "Alright then, this is will only take a minute." She said, dusting her hand in the process and taking a deep breath to prepare herself.

He took a step back despite being aware that her magic could not affect him. With a swish of her hand, the bikes disappeared in the air but she was not finished. She made another swish, this time he felt it. A cold feeling running down his spine, a force that knocked him back by two steps. Somehow similar to the feeling when she first tried attempting to erase her memories.

She immediately looks at him. "You felt the spell?" He gave her a nod. "So you feel strong spells, that's interesting." She said.

As much as he wanted her to elaborate more about the spell, they had to get going otherwise they would both miss the sunset, destroying all the plans he had made for the day. Grabbing her hand with his free one, he pulled her gently to the bus stop where they will be riding to head to their destination.

"You can change to your dress when we get there." He whispered to her as they sat on their seats. "Unless you prefer the pants now."

She shook her head. "No way, I love my dress." She proudly says. "It's not every reality I get to wear those kind of clothes." Then she looks at the window, admiring the buildings they were passing by.

Then stay.

Only when Jungwon had met Jihee did he truly realize how much a selfish person he was. He wanted her to stay, he wanted her to turn her back on everything to stay with him. He knew she was unhappy with hopping from one reality to another, he wanted her to be happy for once. Even though she has always craved for adventure, he wanted to prove to her that a simple reality was more than enough.

"Even though I can't read your mind, I can tell it's noisy." She told him, breaking him away from his deep thoughts. "What are you thinking about?"

He shook his head. "If I dump you my thoughts, I'd ruin the day." He responds which surprisingly, earned no change of expression from Jihee. Her face remained the same, there was no frustration or annoyance. Just a nod.

Yet, he appreciated it.

"I did not alter the weather for you to be gloomy, so don't even think about frowning." She tells him, crossing her arms and glaring at him in a jokingly manner.

Putting his hand on top of hers, he looked at her golden eyes.

"This day is ours and ours alone."
