Confession

Looking at her, I said

"I think you have a lot to answer"

We made eye contact.

She immediately turned around

facing the window, looking outside.

"I guess, I have no choice but to tell you now"

She turned around, towards me, with a nervous smile on her face.

"Her Smile, it was the same as that girl"

Standing across from me, she said

"I hoped that you wouldn't find out so soon"

After a pause..she continued

"I wished at least we would have a little bit more time in our hands, some good memories of ours own to part with"

She tittered, kept sadly looking towards me, a sad smile on her face.

A sad expression.

Silence overwhelmed the room, she and I both sat on the floor, across from each other.

But both of us didn't know where to begin, both of us did not have a word.

I did try to say something, she probably had the same thing in her mind too, we both tried to say something at the same time and ended up interrupting each other and again silence fell in the room.

I nervously said

"As if we are in sync."

To break this silence between us.

"You first!" she said

"No, You!" I said

"Okay," she said,

silence.

After a moment, she said in a nervous tone,

"Did she tell you who she was?"

I nodded "No"

"Okay"

Her head and spirit were both low, she kept staring at the floor and continued.

"She is me"

"I am her"

"How should I explain"

"We both are the same."

I remembered she also said something similar.

"What do you mean?" I asked

"We both are the same person, a long-ago we were split in two"

"Where I have a physical body, she is only a fragment of my conscience. Thus she can only reside in the system and interact through it."

"But, she had become even weaker after passing on to you the fragment of her system"

"What do you mean?"

"How did you split into two?" I asked

"We are not human, So, human logic doesn't apply to us"

"I An Chaeyoung is the system or a fragment of it, at least what's left of its consciousness"

"Why can you have a body and she can't?"

"I am the core of the system and she is a small part of my conscience that split itself on its own, she is not strong enough to possess a body"

"Thus, she can only exist in the systems fragments and can't interact with anything outside of the system's own space"

"That bright light, it's a separate dimension created by the system, we can control it any way we want, it does not affect the dimension outside of it."

"It's like a contained space of its own"

She began to demonstrate it to me.

Bright light...

"Wow"

"We were inside that bright dimension"

With a snap of her finger, we were back in the room. In the blink of an eye.

She continued talking

"I erased your memories and put you in a coma back then. So, you could have a normal life, I thought I could protect you like this from a distance without you ever knowing about me or them"

With teary eyes, wiping it

"I am sorry"

"Who are them?" I asked

"An organization that seeks you"

"Why?"

"I can't tell you that now, with time you have to figure it out"

"It's not the time for you to know yet"

"I can't tell you about it"

she said while sobbing.

I hugged her tightly in my arms.

That's when something of a realization hit me

How did I go to that dimension, if she can't interact outside of the system, then how did she draw me into it? And how did Chae find me?

"I can answer that for you"

I let go of her

Sitting upright she said

"That's where I come part in, as she and I both are the same person, our thoughts and wills and actions can influence each other. The stronger the will the stronger the chances of it influencing an action"

"Her will was too strong, it overwhelmed me momentarily and her will became an action, that was to send you there, she wanted to meet you, she had a very strong desire to meet you. So, she could take you in that dimension."

It was not Chae who had pushed me into the room and kissed me and brought me to the dimension, it was the other one who did it, it was her who kissed me and brought me into a dimension with the illusion of the world she wanted to show me created by her.

She was my well-wisher.

That's what she said "I am your well-wisher"

"Hmm"

She continued

"When i came to my senses you were in that dimension, it took me a while to go in it, since it doesn't influence the outside nor get influenced by it"

"But since it's me and we are the same and one, it was possible for me to go inside it, breaking the illusion in the process and find you"

"I will always find you no matter which dimension you are" she said wiping her tears

We both laughed and she asserted her it and said

"I believe so"

and after a pause she continued

"If it were up to me, i did like for you to rather forget about what she showed you but i won't erase your memory any more"

"Don't worry about her she would be fine, but since it was the fragment of the system that she resided in that she gave to you she is somewhere in a deep slumber until she regains her power and wakes up again"

"What happens if she doesn't regain her power?" i asked

"She will not be able to wake up, but you don't have to worry about her"

Pointing at my heart, she said

"She will always be with in you, in your memories, here"

"Let me ask you one more thing"

Looking at her i said

"What are these system fragments? What exactly does "fragments" mean?"

She looked at me,

"The answer to that is, the system"

"The system"
