I am stuck at June 27, 2020. It started a month ago; I woke up with the same date, same scenarios, same weather and same persons. At first, I thought maybe I am just losing my mind, but soon accepted that it was the world which turned me into one. When I took a research, I found out that my situation is what they called ‘Time loop’. 

  My one month time has been trapped in a time loop and I keep on finding a way to stop it. After countless tries and errors, I soon gave up.

  Since my world stopped, then I had thoughts like:

  Why do I need to go to work? Tomorrow is the same day so I'll be absent at once.

  Why do I have to save money? I'll have the same amount of savings when I woke up.

   And why do I need to fall in love and be attach to someone? He won’t remember me on the next day.

  Therefore during my repeatedly same day, I was in a vacation lie system. I spent my money to eat foods I never encountered. I travelled around (but I couldn't go to places that need 10 hours flight. I did it one time and when I woke up, I ended up in my bed). And I cursed those persons I hate, knowing that they won't remember I aftermath.

  It was fun.

  But time to time, I asked myself: Is it really fun? Am I happy to stay like this? Being alone in my own world?

  In the end of my days, I admit I am not happy at all.

  Today is June 27, again. I was watching the morning news while sipping on my coffee.

[A seventeen year-old girl took her own life and was found in her room with a suicide letter.] The announcer said on the news.

This is the 30th times I heard this news. Then it means that the teenager killed herself for 30 times already. She was given countless chance but no matter how I’ll try to save her, death is inevitable.

  "Ahhh, what should I do for today?" I mumbled on myself.

  Let's see. What are those things I never experienced before?

  "Ahhh!" I gasped. "Going to the night club!"

  I went to the night club for the very first time. I came with sexy attire, heavy make-u and heels. Then I hyped on the danced on the floor like there's no tomorrow! Well, there's still tomorrow but my tomorrow is also my today.

  While I am dancing, a man approached me and thrust his ass along the beat. ‘What a weird dance,’ I thought. Then I saw his handsome face after I lifted my head. "Are you alone?!" he shouted while dancing.

  It was noisy inside the bar so I replied in loud voice, "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"

  He leaned closer. My eyes widened when I suddenly feel him biting my ear!  "Wanna go to hotel with me?"

‘Hotel?  He wants to have sex!? Crazy pervert g-‘

  Wait.  If I'll stuck in time loop forever, that means I'll be a virgin forever.

  ‘Ahhh, what am I thinking?! Why am I considering this?!’

  While I was thinking really hard, this man put his hand on my left leg and got me frozen. I let him touches my skin, tracing his finger upward so he can slip his hand inside my mini skirt.

  ‘What am I gonna do? I can’t move out of fear.’

  "Back off dude! He is my girl!" Another man grabbed my hand. Blocking my way, all I can see is his back, his broad shoulder, tall built and his silver piercing.

  The pervert guy who was trying to book me left us alone. Then, this other man pulled me outside the night club. I tried to my best to peek on his face but his steps are huge and fast.

  ‘Who is this bastard?’

  "You've changed a lot (y/n)," he said when we’re out of the club. He let go of my hand and then looked back.

  Bug eyed, I called him, "B-Brother.”

  Never did I expect to see Mingyu standing in front of me.

  “Brother? I am not your brother anymore,” he chuckled.

  When I was 17, my mom remarried Mingyu’s father. He was a kind step brother who is only two years older than me. After my mom died, I removed myself from their family registration and live on my own.

  “Ohhh sorry,” I apologized. “I forgot we aren’t siblings anymore.”

  He fetched a sigh then continued, “Hey, what happened to you? For what I remember, you were so innocent before. Now you are wearing dress like a…” He glanced at me from head to toe before adding few words to say. “… prostitute. Why did you even let that pervert harassed you in public?"

  To be honest, I am so overwhelm to meet him again after many years. But then I realized the situation I’m in. The moment I woke up tomorrow morning, this day will repeat and Mingyu won't remember this encounter.

  “Mingyu, I love you,” I confessed.

  His eyes open roundly upon my remark. I saw his lips opened but no words came out.

  “The reason why I removed myself from your family registry is because of you. I fell in love with my step brother. Isn’t it funny?” I added with a smile.

I dreamt for this chance a million times. Even though this soon will pass and will remain nothing but a useless history, I am so glad I can tell it without worries.

  “Where are you living right now? I’ve been searching for you for too long,” he replied with a faint smile.

  I knew it. I knew that he will act like nothing just happened because he only sees me as his little step sister.

  “I bought a small house using my mom savings,” I answered confidently.

  “Hmmm,” he nodded. “I’ll take you home.”

  After our unexpected encounter and my sudden confession, he drove me home like everything is usual.

  “Your house is… cool,” he praised then sat on the gray sofa.

  I chuckled as I occupied the space beside him. “The owner is cool too.”

  “No comment,” he laughed while raising both of his hands.

  Our laughs faded and the silence put us on an awkward state.

  “Do you want to have coffee?” I offered.

  But he glanced at the wall clock as his answer. “It’s 11:56pm,” he said.

  That’s right. I only have four minutes left before this day ended. If the clock strikes to 12, June 27 will repeat and I’ll woke up from my bed.

  “Yeah,” I nodded. “It’s getting late so you can go ba-”

  Mingyu overlapped my words by pulling my waist closer and slamming his lips to mine. I was struck in this situation that I always wish but never imagine would happen in real. A part of me tells that maybe, it is just a dream. Yet his lips feel very real for my head to persuade me.

  His kiss is getting deeper that a moan escaped from me, “Hmmmm,” I groaned while he is slowly pinning me down and getting on my top.

  Mingyu… likes me.

  Mingyu… also loves me.

  All those times, I thought it was only a one sided love.

  But his kiss told me the answer.

  Therefore, even if this day will repeat, I won’t regret this moment.

  He gently pulled back and we stared at each other in close gap while catching our breaths. I noticed him glancing on my wall clock again as he said, “30 seconds. After 30 seconds you will forget everything and the day will repeat.”

  I opened my eyes widely after hearing his statement.

  “M-Mingyu…,” I stuttered. “Are you also in a time loop?”

  Wearing the same expression, he looked back at me and murmured, “H-Hey. How did you know that?”

  The clock strikes at 12am. And today is June 28, 2020.

The end…
