After it got all black I couldn't really remember the man's face. I looked around, sooyoung wasn't here and i found myself sitting beside sangah in the subway, my phone in hand with the time 6:55. I looked around and it looked like I'm going home from work líke my usual days. A minute later I get a text...from tls123? I thought to myself.
"Isn't this sooyoung's contact? Wait what did she text me"
–tls123: Thank you.
A message flew in from out of nowhere. It took me a while to grasp the
situation.
–Kim Dokja: The author?
–tls123: I was able to complete it to the end thanks to you. I also won the
competition.
–Kim Dokja: Congratulations! What is the competition?
tls123: You won't know it because it is an unknown competition.
An unknown competition? This was weird. Han Sooyoung told me that she started her novel just because she was bored.
–tls123: I would like to send a special gift to you as a thank you.
–Kim Dokja: Gift?
–tls123: It is thanks to my dear reader that this story has come into the world.
Then Han Sooyoung asked me for my email, i gave her but it was weird, because she already had my address and my phone number. Why Would she talk to me through email and the website?
-tls123: ah right i got the monetization scheduled
-Kim dokja: wow really?
It was weird, she didn't tell me anything about this all, what is she up to? Also my head hurts weirdly. I had a very bad feeling about this but I didn't react much, I was just happy that she won a competition.
-tls123: the monetization starts Tomorrow.
-Kim dokja: oh okay.
I had a feeling that this wasn't really Han Sooyoung, because she stopped adding the chapters and gave me the hardcover after a few days of us meeting. This has to be a scam. I wanted to block the person but I waited, waited for whatever gift she or the scammer was sending.
I turn off my phone, ever since I met han Sooyoung my phone addiction is gone, I have no use in turning on my phone anymore because my thoughts are about han sooyoung and if she really was the one texting me.
I looked beside me, it was Miss Sangah, all fresh with her vibrant aura. She was Looking at her phone, until she looked back at me and smiled.
"puede prestarme dinero"
"What?"
"It's spanish"
"Oh I see, what does this sentence mean?"
"Please lend me some money" sangah smiled to me proudly, she really has talent and determination. Studying while being on the subway going home from the office? That's some crazy stuff I like about her. She's totally different from me. I didn't think she'd use a phrase like that on me
"You're really hardworking, Miss Sangah."
"Btw what is dokja-ssi always looking in his phone"
I was quiet because i forgot then i realised she's talking about the other times I used to read twsa.
"Have you been reading a novel?"
"Oh yes, but i stopped because i found it's aut-"
Everything blackened our before i could continue

I woke up gasping for breath, han sooyoung and that man was beside me. I realised I was dreaming. That dream was surely strange. I sat up and the man offered me water while han Sooyoung rubbed my temples hoping that they don't hurt but they were really
"Hey dokja why did you pass out suddenly?" Han Sooyoung's face was full of concern.
"Kim dokja did you eat properly today?" The man's voice was gentle and he was sounding genuinely curious.
"I'm okay, thank you… and about why I lost my consciousness. I really don't know but I had a really short dream. Han Sooyoung i have a questi-" as soon as I was going to say it, i forgot the question, "never mind i forgot what happened in my dream."
This all was making my head hurts more, after that they both told me to rest and han sooyoung dropped me to my house and gave me the dinner she cooked. I greeted her bye and thanks.
I couldn't sleep all night, I was trying to remember what happened in my dream but I really couldn't. Why did I only lose my consciousness after seeing her friend? Oh I didn't even ask the man's name. I'm such a dumbass…
Around 5 am i fell asleep…and i found myself in the dream…again.

Yoo sangah was asking me something, i couldn't hear her and so i shaked my head
"Sorry miss I don't feel well today, can we talk tomorrow about this?"
I knew I sounded rude but sangah just gave me a smile. I looked at the kid in front of me, with his mother. He carried a box which had some flying insects. It was nice. Looked like the kid was pretty enthusiastic about the insects. He looked around 10. I realised I have been thinking too much these days. Maybe because I've gotten time outside the novel?
Eeeeek, After 2-3 minutes the subway shut down suddenly and it got dark. Sangah held onto my arm and looked scared. Everyone was freaking out, probably because they were getting late but I was wrong.
"Dokja what is happening"
"Don't worry, it must be some problem, soon they'll let us know"
Even though I was not scared, seeing the environment around me made me felt weird. Why wasn't I scared and everyone else was? Suddenly we heard the engineer's announcement
"telling all the passengers on the train, telling all the passengers on the train"
Everyone quieted down to hear.
"See sangah they are working and informin-"
"E-everyone…run away…run!!
What? There was a beeping sound and the radio stopped working, sangah and everyone else got worked up and started making more noises. The train turned into a mess.
"Dokja-ssi what…is happening?"
A bright light flashed near the door of the subway and stopped with a pop sound, with coincidence I saw on my phone that the time was 7pm and I even got the mail. Something was heading this way.
Tick. It felt like the world stopping, then i heard a voice
