— Tiririring! Tiririring!
I woke up in bed to the sound of an alarm.
I got out of bed in a daze, went to the bathroom, washed my hair, and washed my face before coming to my senses.
When I looked in the mirror, I saw a girl with an amazing beauty that seemed to have come out of a creation!
…Now let’s get out.
I went out of the bathroom, fiddling with the pendant hanging around my neck.
I got dressed and came out. The fragrant scent of frying eggs filled the house.
“Woke up? “Come and leave some spoons.”
Mom was preparing breakfast.
‘that’s interesting. ‘Mom seems like an adult.’
?
I think I had a strange thought for a moment. Of course the mother is an adult, so is she a child?
A fried egg, a few side dishes, and rice.
After eating a simple but hearty breakfast, I was about to head out the door when my mom hugged me lightly and stroked my head.
“good luck!”
“oh! “Mom, I told you not to do this.”
“It’s a joke.”
Silver hair flowing down to the waist, red eyes, and gently curved eyebrows.
I walked out of the house to see an incredibly beautiful figure, even though it was my mother.
Strangely, a single tear came out.
As I was running to school, a familiar voice called me.
“Ari!”
Who is it? The name is – Ah, Daseul.
I went to school chatting with Da-seul, who had been my friend since childhood.
‘Seo Da-seul must have died a long time ago?’
I’m having strange thoughts again. Daseul is alive next to me.
School classes were extremely boring, as always.
Over the past few decades, smartphones with performance that surpasses that of previous supercomputers have arrived in our hands, and civilization has advanced to the point where the bureau is sending people to other worlds. But why have school classes been so similar for decades?
…’Administrative Bureau’?
I think I just thought of something strange again.
The bell rang and class ended. As I stood up, several friends gathered around me.
We chatted about various things for a while and laughed uncontrollably.
Just one scene of a caterpillar climbing a tree branch outside the window can make you laugh and talk for 10 minutes! Students at this age seem to be able to smile even when leaves fall.
As I moved into the hallway for a moment, I saw the kids taking out their lunch boxes and putting them around the stove at the back of the classroom.
Wouldn’t it be nice if I brought a lunch box and put it on the stove?
… lunch box? These days, it’s school lunch, so why do the kids bring packed lunches?
When I realized that and looked around, I noticed that the design of the school uniform was also strange.
Top and bottom that resemble Gakuran, and a student hat that looks similar to a beret.
I think that style of school uniform was only worn in the 80s?
To have a headache. I felt like I knew something, something.
Without realizing it, I fiddled with the pendant with my hands.
As I sat back down and was about to think, Daseul grabbed my shoulder.
“ah.”
“What! hey? “What are you thinking so deeply about?”
“I just felt strange around me for a moment… .”
“Is that strange? “Did you even have a dream?”
“I guess so.”
“Did you see ‘You Who Fell from the Sky’ yesterday?”
“what is that?”
“Eh? Didn’t you see it? Everyone is talking about it! “It’s a total hit!”
“Is it a drama?”
“huh! The female protagonist is really a goddess, isn’t she? “Look at this!”
Daseul took out her cell phone and showed the female protagonist of the drama.
Shiny blonde hair that looks like it’s been coated with melted gold, and emerald eyes that seem to have the vitality of an Amazon.
Truly, ‘Wow, a celebrity!’ He was a person whose voice came out spontaneously.
He was a very familiar person.
Where have I ever seen someone like this?
After that, I spent the entire lunch hour just listening to stories about ‘My Love from the Sky’ and the new actress who was the female lead in the story.
The strangest thing of the day happened around 7th period.
— Food duck!
Suddenly, the window opened with a loud noise, and a parrot entered the classroom.
Everyone screamed in shock, and the teacher was so embarrassed that he didn’t know what to do, causing chaos!
The parrot did not pay any attention to other people and only flew straight at me.
I was so shocked that I couldn’t even react.
The parrot that flew right in front of me put its beak towards my neck as soon as it arrived and tried to bite off the pendant hanging around my neck.
“Ugh! Why on earth is this happening? away! away!”
I was surprised and tried to push the parrot away by hitting it with a book, but it didn’t work.
Even though I hit it with a book much larger than the parrot, the parrot didn’t move at all and instead shook me with its beak.
Are birds really this strong? Is it too strong? How could an ordinary bird do this?
My friends and teachers all came near me and made a fuss, trying to grab the parrot and take it away.
— Hwiik!
A sharp whistling sound that pierces your ears.
The parrot immediately raised its head and responded to the whistle.
“Pero! “Can’t you come back right now?”
A female student’s voice sounded like she was angry somewhere.
The parrot, ‘Pero’, couldn’t hide his disappointment and flew off somewhere.
The class ended awkwardly in confusion.
As soon as class ended, a second-year senior came to me.
She was a girl with an attractive appearance, dark brown short hair reminiscent of hazelnuts, and delicate and cute features. The nameplate on her chest read ‘Yoo Song-i’.
On his right arm, he was wearing an opaque bracelet with a mysterious atmosphere.
Strangely, this girl also seemed very familiar.
The girl who had been hesitant in front of me, uncharacteristic of someone who had previously controlled a parrot with a single whistle and a sharp cry, opened her mouth.
“excuse me! Sorry. I brought Pero to school because my friends wanted me to show them just once. Apparently, he was kept in a cage, but his friends were playing around and Pero was released. He suddenly flew away and he did something strange. Sorry!”
“are you okay. “It could be because it’s a bird.”
“I’m not normally the type of kid who gets into trouble like I am today. “It’s a very smart parrot, but strangely today, as soon as the cage was opened, it flew away at incredible speed and I couldn’t stop it.”
“It’s really okay. “It was no big deal.”
“…”
“…”
We looked at each other for a moment and then tilted our heads at the same time.
I opened my mouth first.
“Don’t you think we met once?”
“I had similar thoughts. “Where do you live?”
I chatted with a second-year senior for a while, but our areas of residence and upbringings were completely different. Nevertheless, they both felt a great sense of closeness and familiarity with each other at the same time.
Maybe I met him by chance somewhere and forgot about it?
After this, nothing special happened anymore today.

– Yoosongi
I had an amazing experience.
Pero, who couldn’t resist the fire of his friends, was brought in and had a major accident! I was so shocked that I barely managed to get over it, and I had to listen to the teacher nag me for a while.
A curious thing happened when Perot went to apologize to a first-year junior who had bullied him.
First of all, I was surprised by the appearance of the junior I went to meet.
Hair filled with the night sky, each and every facial feature distinct, and most of all, eyes that are like a flash of red that makes blood flow at any moment!
It was truly an impactful sight that I will never forget.
Isn’t this an ordinary liberal arts high school? It’s not like a celebrity-specialized high school, so how can there be a kid like that?
First of all, I felt overwhelmed by my appearance and had a hard time opening my mouth.
The next thing I felt was a sense of familiarity and closeness that was difficult to understand.
A girl who feels like a princess from a starry land, the furthest thing from the word ‘familiar’ in the world. But it felt oddly familiar, even close.
I felt like we could comfortably joke with each other.
An even more surprising thing happened next.
The girl, ‘Ari Kim’, said that she felt the same closeness and familiarity with me!
After that, we talked about whether we lived in similar houses or whether we went to the same elementary or middle school, but they were all completely different.
I walked around the playground pondering for a while about an experience that was difficult to understand.
— Kkeigik! Shake!
“Hey hey! “Where are you looking?”
“Ahh! sorry!”
Mistake, mistake~! I was walking with so many complicated thoughts that I almost got hit by a motorcycle.
But isn’t this the school playground?
The delivery driver was driving at a speed that was clearly illegal and was angry at me!
As I was puffing out my mouth in anger, someone called me from behind.
“Wow, I was surprised because I thought Song just got run over.”
When I looked back, I saw Yuna, one of the friends who had told Seonghwa to bring Pero.
“I was surprised too.”
“be careful. “One of my third-year seniors was also hit by a motorcycle and was hospitalized.”
“A third year senior?”
“huh. Haven’t you heard of it? “Senior Ga-in.”
“First time hearing this. “Are you famous?”
“I’m not famous, but there are a few people who like me because I’m good looking.”
“okay?”
I thought that was it and turned my head.
…
“Yeonya.”
“huh?”
“By any chance is that senior’s last name ‘Han’? Han Ga-in?”
“that’s right. “Do you know?”
“no… . “It just suddenly occurred to me.”
It really just suddenly occurred to me.
Nothing special happened at school anymore.
I returned home around evening. My home is as peaceful as always.
As soon as I arrived, Happy, who was like a white cotton ball, and Somyi, who spent half the day sleeping, came and touched me.
As I was dancing with Happy and Somi for a while, I heard a bewildered voice.
“Song, do you do that dance every time you come home? “Can’t you see Pero looking embarrassed next to me?”
“What do you think~! “Pero can dance together too.”
As soon as Pero heard those words, he flew to his room.
“mom! “What about Dad?”
“Your father is a little late today. I don’t know why you’re working overtime so often these days. “I’m busy at the hospital, but I’m going to pay some attention to my home as well.”
A mother who is upset about her father who is busy working at the hospital and cannot come home often.
For some reason, just watching this scene made me feel better.
In the past, I don’t think my mom paid any attention to where my dad went or not… .
It must be an illusion. My mom and dad have always had a good relationship.
At that moment, my father posted a message in the family KakaoTalk room.
/My beloved Songi, Ye-eun! Sorry for being late~!/
Dinner ended with me teasing my mother like crazy while looking at the provocative sentence that started with the phrase, and she was so embarrassed that she kicked me.
It’s been a while since I went on a family trip during the short holiday period.
After the meal, as I was about to go into my room, tears formed without me realizing it.
… Why is this happening?
Strange memories suddenly appeared in my mind.
My parents yelled at each other every day.
As if to show off, we started meeting other people and started contacting lawyers.
It’s a strange memory. Because my parents have always had a good relationship. That can’t happen.
After washing away all the strange memories in the shower, I went to my bedroom.
…
…
— Rumble!
I opened my eyes in surprise as I felt the bed shaking.
An incomprehensible monster that I had never seen anywhere else in the world appeared in front of me.
