Time. There was no time to adjust. My eyes felt heavy & my body extremely weak. I soon enough was sat in a room & Ms. Cha sat across from me. "지민아 몸은 좀 어때요? 푹 쉬었어요?" (How are you feeling, Jimin ah ? Well rested ?) She asked in that sweet tone of hers.

I was still adjusting so I didn't know what to look out for. I didn't know it then, & I most certainly didn't know it now. "I am fine." I answered a bit cold. She seemed pleased with my answer to an extent. "I am ecstatic that you've finally woken up nonetheless."

This is when Ms. Cha sat a document in front of me. "What ? What is this ?" She pointed at the document, "이것은 간단한 비공개 계약입니다. 당신은 여기서 일어난 일에 대해 아무 말도 하지 않을 것입니다. 그것은 또한 당신이 나의 연구 프로그램에 참여하면 보상을 받을 것이라고 명시되어 있습니다." (This is a simple non-disclosure agreement. You will not talk about any of what has happened here. It also states that you'll get compensation for your participation in my research program.) I looked over & it was exactly as she said.

"All you have to do is sign, Jimin." I signed after she handed me a pen & was escorted out with Secretary Oh.

Secretary Oh handed me a folder. "What is this ?" She looked paranoid. Like even just speaking too loud would be an absolute problem. "글쎄, 잘 모르겠는걸요. 지민아, 당신이 이곳을 떠나고 나면 당신에게 도움이 될 거예요." (I can't say. It will do you some good after you leave here, Jimin ah.) It wasn't long before we reached the front door.

Secretary Oh pointed at the folder, "Just make sure to look at it when you get the chance." Security got me to a car & then I was being drove home. Nothing looked as I remembered. Before long I was home. It took me a minute, but eventually I knocked on the door.

----------------------------------------

"Oh, Jiminie !", My mother said as soon as she opened the door & had seen me. She looked younger. Much younger than when I had last seen her. "엄마?" (Mom ?) She smiled as she brought me inside.

I took a seat as I excitedly greeted my father. The house also looked different. Much different..."I am so happy you're home, Jimin." Things felt different. I looked at her wrist, a watch was on it with the N.L.I trademark. My father also wore one that matched. "What aren't you saying ?"

My mother sighed as she took a seat. "지민아, 당신 아버지와 나는 우리의 맹세를 다시 했어요." (Your father and I renewed our vows, Jimin ah.)

"Really ? I wish I could've been there.", I asked as I was trying to process. My mother nodded as she pointed at her wrist. "I was reincarnated. This watch tracks my data for NewLife Industries. You being in that program was a tremendous help for Ms. Cha' company & for the rest of us with the dormant ability."

Nothing was as they once were...
