Kang Si An scrolls through the pictures in her phone. There is no picture. Odd. There are five contact numbers on her phone - her father, her mother, Her brother No Yoon Mi, and food delivery store.

"She's a sad person." He pities her a bit. Then, he opens his phone to check his contact numbers. On his phone, there are three contacts - Manager Jeong, his mother, and his younger brother.

"I don't need people." Kang Si An mumbles to himself. Manager Jeong takes care of everything for him. She has taken care of everything since he debuted. He is abnormally dependent on her. But, that's okay.

"She is not at her dorm." Manager Jeong comes inside the car, looking frustrated. This is the first time when he is seeing her exhausted and frustrated at the same time. Now, he knows how many store girl it takes to infuriate Manager Jeong. He looks out of the car window, mentally chastising himself. It's been his fault actually. If he hadn't gone there at night, this wouldn't have happened. He should have called Manager Jeong first when the store girl passed out.

"Isn't that her?" Kang Si An narrows his eyes on the creature who is wearing a coat in summer. "Hey, store girl!"

Kwon Kyuri halts on her track when she sees him. She blinks her half-moon shaped eyes, turns around, and walks in the opposite direction like she hasn't seen them.

"What the hell!" Kang Si An comes out of the car. He shouts like a mad man. "Stop right there."

Kwon Kyuri starts running when she hears him yelling. Kang Si An starts running behind her. What is she playing now?

Wham!

She slams into the pole.

My head hurts. Who decided that it was a good idea to put poles in the street? It's a real obstruction when one is running away from someone.

"You are awake." The elderly doctor smiles. "How are you feeling?"

The same doctor? Did I go to the future? "Is it May or October?"

"May?" The elderly doctor purses his lips with worries and uncertainty in his eyes. "Do you remember your name?"

"Yes, I do." I take a breath of relief. My head starts hurting more when I realize that I am at Kang Si An's apartment. I have woke up thrice in his apartment now. Once in the future. Twice in the present. If I still can't recognize this place, then I am a retard. The doctor leaves after a few words of advice. I ignore it. Manager Jeong and Kang Si An are watching me as if I owe them the

I face him with a straight face, trying not to be unnerved by his penetrating gaze. He doesn't blink. I don't blink either. It is his loss though, considering my eyes are happy when they are ogling a guy with a handsome face.

"Ahem!" Manager Jeong crosses her arms. "Why?"

"Why?" I sigh. Why I am in this situation? "Why I am back here?"

"Why did you run away?" Kang Si An asks me bitterly. "Thanks to you, my pictures of chasing my fake homeless girlfriend is roaming the internet."

"You have a fake homeless girlfriend?" I am amazed that a celebrity would date someone like that. "Can I see her picture?"

He shows me his phone. I can't see anything on the screen except my face on the front camera. My hair is a disheveled mess. I have a thick bandage on my forehead. I wonder if it would leave a scar. Then, I recall that I didn't see the scar on my future self when she was being murdered. No scar then.

"What do you see?" He asks me gravely. "How could you go out like this when you have the desire to date me?"

"I am in this state because of you." I clench my fists. I want to kill this guy right now. "You chased me. Why I am being chased? I didn't kill anyone. It should be you."

"Why should it be me?" He glares at me. "I didn't kill anyone either."

"Right." I unclench my fists. "You didn't kill anyone." You will kill me in the future.

"What's wrong with you?" Veins pop on his forehead. "Are you really my fan?"

"No, I am not." I grin at him happily. "I don't like you at all. I dislike looking at your face. It hurts my eyes."

"You!" He stands up on his feet abruptly. "You brought me nothing but trouble. Ever since I met you, my life has gone crazy."

"I didn't make it crazy." I raise my palms up. "Don't blame me. I have got nothing to do with your actions."

"Miss Kwon, it is because you said unnecessary things." Manager Jeong looks calm and serene. She sits across me with a smile that says - 'You don't have the ability to play games with me, child'.

"What did I say?" I show her the same smile - 'Bring it on.'

"You said that Kang Si An is your boyfriend. You have admitted it in front of the news reporters." She leans forward. "Because of you, Kang Si An had to admit it in public. I have already released the articles that he is dating you."

"Retract those articles," I reply, keeping my tone emotionless. "I have no intention of dating him."

"But...you..." She seems aggravated. She takes a deep breath. "Miss Kwon, do you want to ruin his career?"

"Nope." I just want to stay away from him as far as possible. I don't even want to know the reason why he would try to kill me. He probably wants to kill me because I got pregnant with his child somehow. I don't know what kind of person my future self is. But, I can only rely on my present self. There is no way that I will ever get intimate with him.

"Do you want to go to the cops to change your statement?" She widens her eyes. "Miss Kwon, we have agreed to go along with your terms. He will date you for the next six months. Are you not happy? Do you want something more?"

"Manager, I don't want to be close to this manipulating creature," Kang Si An tells her. "Please send me to the cops."

"I haven't even started manipulating you yet." I roll my eyes. "If I want to manipulate you, I could have done it already. Do you know my special skills? I can easily make you..." I close my mouth. Why I am bragging about my special paranormal skills to my murderer? My only skills are time-travel and dream walk.

"See?" He laughs mockingly. "This is your true nature."
