Time To Go Home
What year is it?February 20th, 1886
It's almost 3am and Kibum wakes up
"Taeminnie, wake up. I need to talk to you.." KIbum says half asleep, which wakes Taemin up.
"Is it really important that you have to wake me up this early?" Taemin yawned, looking over at Kibum
"Do you think our parents are worried about us?" Kibum asked
"Of course they are. They haven't seen us for months"
"What do you think they're thinking?"
"They probably think we're dead"
"Taeminnie! Don't say that!" Kibum squeaked
"... There's nothing to worry about regarding your parents" Jinki lifts his head from his desk and joins the conversation which he had been listening to
"Are you sure, hyung?" Kibum asked
"We'll travel to the day we traveled back, as if we never left" Jinki giggled
"That's a good idea" Taemin sighed
"Yes, and I've made changed to this book. When we turn to page three, we'll instantly be transported to 1985 and we won't have to wait until we fall asleep" Jinki imformed them and fell back asleep quietly
The next day>>>>
"Guys wake up, I need to tell you something" Jinki said from his desk over to Kibum and Taemin
"What is it, hyung?" Taemin asked, half asleep
"Yeah. I'm guessing it's not that important" KIbum muttered
"I'ts time to go back.." Jinki declared
Kibum and Taemin sprung up out of bed, fully awake. The two teenagers look at each other, then back at the scientist
"Spread the word" Jinki orders
-------------------
Kibum marches to Jonghyun's wood shop. "It's finally time to go back" Kibum reminds himself in his head. When he thinks this, his starts to walk faster. He doesn't want to waste any time. When he gets to the door. He knocks on the door rapidly. Jumping up and down, taking deep breaths, restless to tell him what he's been wanting to tell him for days and days
Jonghyun finally opens the door. The first look of Kibum makes his heart race. Jonghyun's face lights up and he smiles. His smile starts to disppear when Kibum doesn't react to his sudden change in mood. Kibum only leans in closer. Jonghyun sees this and leans in closer as well. Kibum whispers...
"It's time to go back"
------------------
Jinki waits patiently in the lab for Carlyle. He can't wait to tell her the big news. "I wonder if she's gunna like the future.." Jinki thinks in his head. He wonders, in his own little world when there's a knock at the door. He prays that it's Carlyle.
He opens the door and there she is. In an amazing lime green dress.
"It's time to go back"
------------------
Taemin wanders into town. He checks the bar first, since that's where he usually hangs out. But he's not there. Then he checks Jonghyun's woodshop. But it's empty. After so much walking and running all over the small town, Taemin starts to tear up. "What if I can't find him in time??" Taemin says out loud. People start to stare as he searches franticly in circles, sweat covering his face, his loud breathing and his expressions of complete horror begin to draw attention. Finally, when Taemin decides to take a break, he sits near the sheriff's office, almost prepared to run inside and report a missing person. When Taemin is about to cry, he looks up at the sky. Tear are about to fall when he look up at the roof of one building. Sitting on the roof is a figure. "Oh please be him" Taemin pleades with god in his head. "YAH!" Taemin yells as loud as he can to the figure on the roof. The person's head moves to the sound of Taemin's voice. "YEOBO!" Taemin yells again. "Taemin-ah?" the person said quietly. So quiet, people from below could barely hear him. The person moves to the edge of the roof to look down. "I've been looking everywhere for you! I thought I lost you." Taemin yelled from the ground. "I wanted to come up here. It's the tallest building in town, so.." Minho said down below. "Come down. I need to tell you something" Taemin yells up to the sky. When Minho finally made it down to the ground, gave Taemin a hug and a kiss.
"It's time to go back"
-----------------
When everyone was finally gathered in Jinki's lab, they couldn't wait any longer.
"I can't wait to see the future!" Minho squealed
"I can't wait to see their cars!" Jonghyun added
"Or their clothes" Carlyle chirped.
"Or their new technology"Jonghyun said dreamily and staring off into space. Kibum couldn't stop smiling at Jonghyun's face when he zones out.
"Okay okay. Here we go. Everyone join hands and form a circle here" Jinki gestured the group over to the book that took months to make
"Who wants to do the honors?" Jinki asked. "Well I sent us back. So Taemin.. You should get to do it" Kibum explained. Everyone looked at Taemin, who suddenly felt in charge. "Okay then"
"Hold page two" Taemin said aloud as he held the page with the number two on it. Everyone held onto each other's hand and Jinki had his hand on Taemin's shoulder as he held onto the page. Taemin said the day and year. "August 4th, 1985"
As Taemin followed the instructions of the book, Jinki could hear someone knocking on the door. The paranoia of being seen for so many months was too strong. Every move he saw and every voice he heard made him flinch. Taemin then started to chant everyone's names. "Lee Taemin, Lee Jinki, Kim Jonghyun, Kim Kibum, Choi Minho, Carlyle Wilkin"
The knocking started to get louder and louder. With every knock, Jinki couldn't help but jump.
The very moment Taemin began to turn to page three, the people outside broke down the door. Making everyone jump. Before Taemin could finally turn to page three, Jinki let go of Taemin's shoulder in shock. He didn't want to, but his hand somehow couldn't help but move on it's own. Before the ritual was finally over, Jinki broke the chain. Jinki looked over at Carlyle, who was giving him a sad look. "No" Jinki whispered. Then, everyone's but Jinki's body's froze in time, and gradually, all started to vanish at the same time. When they were all gone. Jinki was all alone. His friends gone. Traveling through time.. Without him.
"Lee Jinki's alive!" he heard a man say through the doorway of his now broken into lab. He looked over at the people who now started to flood his lab. They all gasping in horror at the sight of seeing a man they all believed to be dead for an entire year. All the people started to ask questions, the media was in the lab taking photographs of him with celluloid cameras, and writing down words in notepads, which would soon be in the town's paper. Jinki was surrounded by people but it hadn't quite registered in his head yet that he was still in 1886. and that his friends had just traveled 99 years into the future. Without him.
