Karina was pacing out in her bedroom, sometimes walking in a circle out of horror and disbelief. Her hands ran through her hair in distraught.

"Is this my fate?"

"With Winter Kim?"

"Out of all people on earth, why must it be Winter Kim?"

The gods sure are laughing to her face right now, and the alien and the unknown creature who left the book for her generation must think that this is some sort of joke.

She held the sacred book in her hands, opening a page with unreadable text before she let out her anger on the innocent paper.

"Are you kidding me?", she shouted.

"I supposed to hate her. Now, you tell me that I can read her mind because she is my destiny? She is my fate? Winter Kim is?", Karina scoffed in annoyance.

"You must be joking!", she slammed the book on her bed before groaning in agony in her hands.

"I think you make a mistake this time. It wasn't Winter Kim, is it? My person is still out there, waiting for me to find her, right?", Karina lies down on her bed.

"But she's cute, tho. I'm not gonna lie..."

"No! Of course not! It must be another person than Winter Kim. There's no way my fate is with her! It's just impossible! I don't want to be with her!", the girl kicked her legs in the air before turning around, let out another angry shout on her pillow out loud.

The Yu girl then turns to the front again, slapping her cheeks gently with her hands, trying to bring herself to reality.

"Yeah. This must be a mistake. It wasn't Winter Kim. I must have some sort of special powers that I can read more than one people mind! Yeah! That must be it!"

****

"It's impossible, honey", her mom could only laugh hearing her daughter's complains and banter.

"But-"

"Karina, you are the fourty-nine Yu. The other forty-eight Yu, including me, could only read one people mind. It is impossible for you to read more than one", this time her dad laughing along her mom.

"But- It's Winter Kim! I don't like Winter Kim! I hate her every time my professor mentioned her name in class!", Karina groans in frustration.

"Well, not every Yu is happy when they first time found their chosen one", her dad let out a tiny scoff. "When I found out that your mother is the person I'm looking for, I was scared. Not like you, because you hated your person", her dad laughs again.

"I'm scared of your mom. She's known as the most scary student inside the school. I tried to ignore her every time I saw her, but then her mind kept calling out for me. When I can hear everything, how can I ignore her, right?", Mr Yu nodded her head as she gently taps the shoulder of Mrs Yu.

"You'll be just fine, honey. Trust your fate. I'm sure that this Winter Kim is a good person for you", her mom smiled towards Karina, trying to cheer up their only child.

"Oh god. I can't believe this is happening to me..."

****

A new week started, and after got to know who's the person Karina was destined to be in her ill-fated journey, her father had told her about the ten meter rules.

As long as Winter is in ten meter radius from Karina, she could hear her mind.

Karina strongly told herself that she wants to avoid this ill-fated journey of her at all cost, and so if she ever encounter Winter anywhere, she would run away for better life rather than hearing the other girl's mind.

Her professor have made their sketching class outside the building. He instructed the class to draw the big tree filled with orange flowers by the department building.

Karina hates the fact that what they did slowly attracts other major students' interests, peeking at their drawing from afar and whispered some words in their friends ears that Karin wished to hear.

But sadly, she could only hear Winter's. Damn life.

Karina is half-done with her drawing when she's done with the trunk and branches. All she needs to draw is the leaves and the flowers.

When Karina turns her head to her friend, the Japanese seems occupied looking somewhere else other than the big tree, and when she follows where her friend was looking at, Karina swear she's having a heart attack for dear life.

"God-", there's Winter there, few meters away from her who's currently talking to a her friend at her side.

Winter tied her short hair in low pigtails. She's wearing a pastel yellow short summer sundress, and Karina couldn't lie that she looks cute in that.

Karina immediately turned her head back towards her drawing, slapping her cheek once, trying to ignore the existence of her person there. She's really hoping that Winter didn't see her here, sitting on the grass while sketching this stupid tree like her professor wanted.

If her person name wasn't Winter Kim, Karina could flirt with her all day long. But because her name is Winter Kim, oh gosh- she just can't.

"Aeri, focus", Karina called her friend, trying to bring the Japanese back to their main work.

"Shut up. My eyes are all on Ningning right now. She's smiling at me", the Japanese answered, waving her hands in a certain direction.

"Ningning? Your girlfriend?"

"Uhuh. You never see her, right? Wanna take a look?", Aeri asked, and Karina immediately turned her head again towards that specific direction.

"Where-", Karina paused her words.

"There, right next to the girl who's wearing that yellow sundress. See?", Aeri kept waving at her girlfriend, but Karina went completely quiet at the moment.

Their eyes made contact.

Winter Kim is looking at her right now, right in the eyes, with that small smile.

"It's Karina", and oh god, Karina could hear what the girl was thinking as Winter waved her hand shyly towards her.

Oh god, her plan is totally fucked up.

Karina waved back timidly with her little smile, a bit unsincere before she shifted her focus back on her drawing, trying to ignore the attention Winter's giving her right now.

Ignore her, Rina. Ignore her-

"I wonder what's her drawing looks like"

Don't wonder! Just go away and mind your own business!

Karina frowns as she tries to draw again, answering Winter's thoughts with her own thoughts.

"I bet it looks great"

It's not great, Winter! It's not!

"I wish I could know her better"

Oh, no, you don't. Say you're not interested!

Karina massaged her temple, feeling awful with her own special powers. She admitted it. Not all the time that the thing we could hear is the thing that we want to hear.

"She's really look beautiful with that flannel tho"

Oh god. How Karina wished she could run away and slapped her face hard right now. She could feel her heart going crazy from a tiny compliment! Plus, it's not out loud compliments. It's just the words that only she could her them.

But the most important thing is that it came from Winter Kim.

It's Winter Kim!

Karina needs to stop all of this nonsense to keep happening.

Soon after, Winter tiny voice isn't there anymore for Karina to hear, so she just guessed that the shorter girl had already left. It took Karina another thirty minutes to finally finish her sketch.

It wasn't her best piece, but at least Karina is sure enough she'll get an A- for this one.

"You done?", Aeri asked when she saw her friend already tidying her things up, ready to leave the grass field.

"Yeah. You?"

"Almost. Probably ten minutes more", Aeri answered, and Karina just answered her with a humm, finally getting up from the nature ground.

"I'll wait for you at the cafeteria then", Karina taps Aeri's shoulder lightly. "Yeah, sure. See you later", Aeri nods her head.

When Karina turned her body around, she's grateful that Winter really wasn't there anymore. Letting out a tiny relieve sigh, Karina finally made her way towards the cafeteria upstairs as her stomach started to grumble.

****

After slipping the piece under her professor door, Karina headed straight towards the cafeteria. She purchased a cold drink and a hotdog before taking an unoccupied seat at the corner of the cafeteria.

There's not many students at this hour since it is almost noon, Karina is happy with it.

She took a sip of her ice lemon tea, and she never felt so alive. After burning herself under the sun for almost two hours, finally she got something refreshing flowing inside her dried throat.

But when she was just about to take her first bite of the hotdog, she heard that tiny voice again.

"I'm really sorry, sir! I'm wronged!"

Winter's voice came out weak. Her voice filled with anxiety and horror, and Karina could feel it. But when she tried to look around to catch a glimpse of her person, she couldn't find Winter anywhere in her ten meter radius.

Not until Karina was surprised with Winter's shout in pain.

"I'm sorry! I will do better next time!"

Karina's heart stings to her bones when she hears another horror shout from her person. At this rate, Karina decided she couldn't ignore it any longer.

"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"

"Where the heck is she? I can hear her, but I can't find her!", Karina grabbed her hair in her fist in desperation. When she heard another screech from Winter, her eyes went wide open, bloodshot.

"Fuck", she cursed between her breath, leaving her food behind and running anywhere as long as she still can hear the girl's voice.

She accidentally bumped with Aeri when she ran, and the Japanese looked at her questioning, "Where are you going? I thought we will-"

"Aeri, I'm sorry. I got to go", Karina gave her friend a pleading look before she ran again.

As long as she could hear Winter's voice, the girl was still in her ten meter radius. But hell, when Karina ran to the left and to the right way of the floor, she still couldn't find Winter.

"Fuck! She's upstairs-"

She heard it. The final piece of her patience. She heard Winter.

Her voice in pain, agony, and horror.

Karina couldn't think staright anymore. Winter might be downstairs also, she knows. But instead of doing nothing, she knows she just needs to run and find Winter at all cost.

This voice of horror is killing her!

Karina ran upstairs, but then the voice got weaker. That's when she realized that Winter might be downstairs and she was right. As soon as she stepped on the ground floor, Winter's tiny voice was just getting clearer and louder in her head.

But then, another voice came inside her head as well.

"I told you, Miss Kim. I told you to be a good girl. I told you to be quiet!"

The man voice exchanged immediately with Winter's crying sobs before he continued again.

"Just be a good girl!"

Then, another voice of agony.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!", Karina ran as hard as she could. She never intended to be close to Winter. Hell, she doesn't even want to care about that girl. But when she's hearing all these things, do you expect her to ignore everything?

Winter is in trouble. How can she ignore that agony screeching?

Karina's head leads her in front of one of the department's doors. She couldn't hear anything from the outside, but her head told her otherwise. She could hear what the man said to Winter in his whisper and what Winter replied inside her thoughts.

"Shut up, kid. There's someone outside"

"I beg you, anyone outside the door. Please, help me!"

Karina wasted no time knocking on the door, "Hello. Professor Shim. May I meet you for a while?", she called for him but got no answer.

A few seconds of waiting in front of the door, Karina couldn't hear the man's voice inside her head anymore. Instead, she keeps hearing Winter's pleads for help from her mind.

"Professor Shim. Hello? I know you are there. I need to ask you something regarding one of your subject!", Karina kept calling for him while typing something on her phone.

To: Aeri
Please call the staff from our department office to Professor Shim's office immediately. There's a student being harassed inside!

"Professor Shim! Please, open the door!", Karina called as her eyes never left her phone.

Aeri
Got you, buddy! Right away!

"Professor Shim-", Karina words stopped when the door finally opened, revealing the dishevelled man fixing his tie with a sly grin.

"Oh, look who's here? It's Karina Yu. Come on, get in", he said as he opened his door wide.

"Karina?", and she heard Winter's tiny voice again.

Karina gaze sharply toward the man as she took her steps inside his office. The professor looks extremely nervous and his eyes wavers, she could tell. But at the same time, Karina is confused that she couldn't hear the voice from his mind any longer.

Isn't mind reading supposed to be to only one person? What's happening? And why does it suddenly stops?

"Karina! I'm inside his locker! He tied me, and I couldn't speak right now! Please! Please look over here!"

Shit. Karina felt so grateful that she could hear that, but the image of Winter being tied up sickening her.

There's a predator inside their college, who knows?

"So, what's your question, Miss Yu? How can I help you?", he asked as he slowly closed the door to his office. Seing the way he start to act, Karina immediately back in action.

She opened the exact locker where the professor has hide Winter, and her heart clench with the view of Winter's hands and legs being tied up with cable tights. Her mouth were covered with black duct tape.

She pulled Winter out, somehow lifted her from the locker immediately. When Winter's figure finally came out from the dark, Karina didn't expect she would see the worse.

"Karina..."

Winter's a crying mess. Her cheek is bloody red. The corner of her lips is slightly bleeding. The edge of her sundress is lifted up. There are other red marks on her right thigh.

"Shit, Winter", is all Karina could say before she turns her head back towards the professor, who's now eye all wide open, trying to kick Karina from the back.

And, oh god. Karina didn't know what possessed her that she immediately hugged Winter tightly inside her embrace, ready for the painful impact on her back.

But the kick never landed on her back.

The staff got there just in time, holding the crazy man by his arms. Aeri came running towards the two girl, worried. Seing how things finally going on, Karina immediately pulled the tape open from Winter's mouth and she immediately greeted with that painful crying.

"K-Karina..."

"Hush, Winter. I'll help you get away from this", Karina wiped the tears on Winter's cheek before she immediately got up from the floor, rummaging every drawers trying to find a scissor or a cutter. When she does, she immediately brings her attention back to Winter and cuts the cable tight to lose.

"K-Karina...", Winter kept crying after being freed, and Karina couldn't help from hugging her tightly inside her embrace.

After everything she heard inside her head and how Winter conditions when she saw her inside the locker, Karina just can't ignore her at all.

"What actually happened?", Aeri questions, but she didn't get any answer.

Winter's holding tightly on Karina's shirt, depending on it like her own life.

"I got you, Winter. I got you".

"This is that Winter Kim Professor Lee keeps talking about?", Aeri asked, but again, no answers.

This might be the moment when the gods are trying to tell Karina how important her power is actually, and why Winter is destined to be her person.
