Jay was honestly scared because of the yell Jihoon made, even the figure was taken aback of his actions. Jihoon's eyes started glowing white, and the sight of it was familiar to Jay.

"You!" Jihoon pointed at the figure, he started to levitate towards him. The figure's eyes widened, as if they had seen something they shouldn't just by looking at Jihoon's eyes.

"You will regret this." Jihoon shouted again, but this time his voice was like a mix of three voices.

Jihoon reached out his hand and started to write something in the air. Suddenly, the figure couldn't move nor could talk. It started levitating as well as glowing white.

The white light was blinding that Jay had to turn around and cover his eyes. A beam of white light shot up in the sky coming from the figure's body.

The white light was seen all over the City, and people started capturing videos and picture of this unexplainable occurrence.

"What's that?!"

"It looked like the scene from the battle that happened yesterday in The Loop."

"That's so cool!"

The beam of light faded, as well as the body of the figure. The protective bubble that prevented them from going out bursted. Feeling that the light has faded, Jay turned around to see a fainted Jihoon lying on the ground.

"Jihoon!" He ran towards his best friend and carried him inside the store. He laid him down next to the counter and waited for him to wake up.

An hour has passed and Jihoon was still not waking up, worried about him, Jay called Lein and Yohan and told them that Jihoon was unconscious.

Shortly after this, Yohan and Lein arrived in the store panicking. Lein laid his eyes on the sleeping Jihoon, which made him run to Jay and gave him a punch.

"What was that for?!" Jay held his cheek.

"What did you do to him?!" Lein was furious.

"I didn't do anything!" Jay held himself back from blowing a punch to Lein.

"Guys, stop fighting. Let him explain Lein." Yohan was calm and collected about the situation, but Lein was the opposite of him. Lein was always aggressive and he never holds back.

"Explain yourself." Lein was know a little bit calmer.

But before Jay could even say anything, Jihoon mumbled something. All of the three boys attention went to him.

"Jihoon! How are you feeling?" Lein immediately went to Jihoon. Rubbing his back to make him feel better. Jay went to one of the cooler to get a bottle of water.

Jihoon sat down and he held his head, there was less aching in it now.

"What happened to you?" Lein asked him. Jihoon shook his head, not remembering anything that happened to him.

Jay gave the water bottle to Jihoon, which he chugged easily. He was really thirsty for some reason.

"More please." He asked Jay for more water, which Jay got more.

"Do you remember anything? something?" Yohan asked. Jihoon held his head once again, trying to recall. He started to remember something.

"Someone, a dark figure..." He started, getting the attention of the two boys.

"He said that our world will soon overlap with The Loop world. Tha-That's all I can remember." He ended. Yohan and Lein looked at each other, not even shock with what he said.

"We also have something to tell you." Yohan began, Jihoon looked at him curious with what he's going to say next.

"Here's your water." Jay arrived handing the water to Jihoon. Jihoon thanked his best friend and drank the water.

"We'll say it to you later." Yohan changed the subject. Jihoon was confused, but he still nodded his head.

"Jihoon, I'll substitute you for your shift. You go home and rest." Jay stated.

"No, I can't let you do that! I can-" Jihoon walked towards Jay but his legs fell weak and he lost his balance. Thankfully, Lein caught him just in time before falling to the ground.

"Rest. Yohan and Lein, take him home. Much better if you let him stay in your place." Jay asked the two boys.

"Sure." Lein replied and he carried Jihoon out of the store while Yohan was following behind them. The three of them got inside a taxi and they went to Lein's place.

They arrived at Lein's place. Jihoon was surprised since Lein's house was big. They entered the house and immediately went to Lein's bedroom. Lein laid Jihoon in his bed and Yohan volunteered to cook them dinner since it's evening already.

"Can you tell me what you were suppose to say earlier?" Jihoon asked Lein.

"Me and Yohan also experienced the same thing earlier, just before we got to the store..." He began.

"Two dark figures attacked us, we were also shocked that we could use our abilities, even without the VR Headset and they said the same thing about how our worlds will soon be one."

Jihoon was shock with what he said, he held his head as it began to sting, making him groan in pain. Lein patted his head, trying to make it go away. Which, it oddly did go away.

"By the way, did someone give you this?" Lein picked something from his pocket and revealed a card. The same card he got from the stranger that gave him the VR Headset.

"I did!" Jihoon exclaimed, making Lein sigh in relief.

"We'll be going here tomorrow, do you want to come?" The boy asked.

"But isn't tomorrow going to continue the battle?" Jihoon questioned.

"We already asked the Student Council President to make Alex and Teo win by default since we won't be going." Lein replied, making Jihoon chuckle a little.

"Stay here for the night, I'll call Mr. Park so he won't get worry." Lein stood up and left Jihoon alone in the room. Hearing nothing but the city life outside the window, he closed his eyes and eventually fell asleep.

"Jihoon, dinner's ready." Yohan tried to wake up the sleeping Jihoon, which he didn't immediately budge. Yohan rolled his eyes.

"Wake Up" He tried shaking Jihoon which he did woke up from it.

"Eat." Yohan said and exited the room.
