Behind the scenes

I wish life could be easier. I wish I had no knowledge of what was going on behind the scenes. But here I am.

"Minhae. There's a package for you!" Minhae furrowed her eyebrows. She didn't remember ordering something online. Even so, she would never put their dorm address as the delivery address.

Taking the package to her room, she still wondered what the thing would be. The package looked like a book but who even read books these days? Without pondering any longer, she teared the package open, and her brows furrowed even more to see that it really was a book.

Deja Vu

The cover of the book was so dull with only the title were written on the sky-blue cover. No author, no synopsis and no nothing. This had made Minhae more curious on who send it to her.

She flipped the book opened on the first page that had a list of the character in the novel. And it shocked her even more to see that her name and people that she knew was in it. It writes:

Kang Han-na
Cao Yuchen
Eun Dana
Seo Minhae
Moon Chani

"What book is this?" She could not believe her eyes. To say that it was a coincidence seems like an obvious lie. Although, she didn't know who the two-remaining people was.

And just like that, she spent the whole night reading the novel for several time, not leaving any single thing. Throughout the reading, she got goosebumps all over her. Although she could not understand what was happening, she had her own theories.

That maybe someone who send her this book wanted to tell her the truth about her life. The truth that this life was fake. That she was just a character in a book. Or maybe to make her prepare for what to come in the near future.

But wasn't it dangerous if the character in a book gained conscious? Why would the person do this? Couldn't they just let her believe that her life was real. That was all Minhae could think about. Although the motive seems a little bit unclear.

"Maybe I should show this to Hana and Dana tomorrow." Her heart felt heavy thinking about the book, hoping if she shows the book to someone, they will say that the book was just a joke.

However, the next day, the book disappeared in the thin air but left with only a handwritten note that said:

Telling people about what you know might
put you in a consequence you could
never imagine. Thus, tell no one.

And with that Minhae save the story in her heart and wait for the day to come. She never dares to open up to people of her discoveries.
