Kyungsoo approaches tall wooden door, it's wood polished and new, shining from the fluorescent lighting that lit up the white hallways. He hadn't been too sure about taking this knitting class, it wasn't even his idea in the first place, but after much coaxing from Baekhyun (who was also taking the class) Kyungsoo finally gave in and decided to give it a try.

He adjusted his messenger bag which hung loosely off his shoulder and knocked on the door. Barely even a second passed when someone pulled the door open and a small man in about his early 60's stood at the entrance. He blinked through his glasses, his face a mixture of lines and creases. Kyungsoo spotted bits of gray hair growing through his black strands and figured this must have been the person teaching the class. 

"Welcome" the man said with a smile "Are you the new student our Baekhyun has been talking so much about?" Kyungsoo's eyes drifted over to the other side of the room where Baekhyun sat smiling that stupid grin of his, knitting needles and yarn on his lap. Kyungsoo grunted and shrugged, unsure what else to say and then instantly wondered if he was being a bit rude. But the old man just smiled at him. "Well I'm Lee Sooman, the instructor, and you're free to sit wherever you like" he moved from the door frame, allowing Kyungsoo just enough room to manouevre through. 

Kyungsoo walked with light footsteps while looking all around the room. There weren't a lot of people there but the majority of them were girls. Figures, he thought to himself as he took a seat next to Baekhyun, who was still smiling that silly grin. 

"You're gonna love this" Baekhyun said as he bounced his foot up and down on the floor, like an overexcited puppy. "This class is abosolutely out of this world"

Kyungsoo doubted that very much.

When Lee Sooman started the class Kyungsoo was unsure of what to do. He felt out of place and he didn't have the right tools to start off knitting, however you started it. 

"Welcome back and for those of you here for the first time, welcome" Sooman said with a smile, eyes locked on Kyungsoo who tried very hard to avoid eye contact. He hated attention. 

"If you need any of the needles or yarn I'm sure you can borrow some from your neighbours or you could take some from the box up here" Sooman held out a blue plastic box filled with knitting needles. Kyungsoo was about to stand up and take some when Baekhyun pulled on his sleeve. 

"Here" he offered Kyungsoo a pair of simple brown knitting needles. "I have an extra pair" 

"T..Thanks?" Kyungsoo said a little freaked out that his friend would even bother to have an extra pair of knitting needles on him. Christ, Kyungsoo thought as he ran a hand through his black hair. What the am I doing here?

"Alright so let's get started" Sooman said. He motioned with his hands, taking a piece of yarn in his fingers. Tenderly the old man made a small loop with the piece of fabric bounding the other end of the string to close the loop off. Kyungsoo and Baekhyun followed suit, taking their own pieces of yarn in their fingers. Kyungsoo made a small loop with the yarn, then wrapped the other end of it around, tying it off securely and making sure it didn't come loose. He looked up to see Baekhyun was finished with his as well.

When Sooman saw all his pupils were finished he took one of the knitting needles. Then looked at each of them, a glimmer in his eyes. "This is where the real fun begins" he said with a slight grin, his voice taking a strange tone to it that made Kyungsoo a bit nervous but excited. 

Sooman started to pull the needle into the yarn but stopped and looked once again at his students, as if waiting for them to do the same. Kyungsoo and Baekhyun took their needles and followed Sooman as well. "This is so exciting" Kyungsoo heard Baekhyun say and he was about to ask why when he put his needle into the loop and a feeling in his chest started to overwhelm him.

When Kyungsoo opened his eyes he wasn't in the big open room of a community centre anymore, no, he was in a whole other place, almost a whole other planet, if it could even be considered a planet. There was darkness all around him but also specks of light in the distance. Things moving above and below him as he floated...floated? 

Kyungsoo looked down and noticed he was nowhere near ground, nowhere even near any source of land really. He was floating, off in space, surrounded by absolute nothingness and..... was that a llama? 

From a distance he could see a pink llama floating upside down, it's eyes staring off into space, literally. He looked around and found Abraham Lincoln, his hat orange and his beard a bright green as he read the bibliography of the Archduke franz Ferdinand. Which made Kyungsoo chuckle because Abraham Lincoln died ages before Franz Ferdinand but we save that story for another time. 

Kyungsoo could hear wailing and laughing from a distance and he saw Baekhyun, his glasses perched at the tip of his nose as he ran, wait no, floated through space laughing at an enormous version of pikachu that sang the Brazillian national anthem at a deep monotoned voice.

"What even.." Kyungsoo said and then he looked down at his hands, still holding the knitting needle and piece of yarn. Immediately he dropped them and the same feeling of heaviness took over his chest and he was back, back in the same open spaced room with Sooman, Baekhyun and the other few students that were there.

"What the heck just" Kyungsoo said.

"That was frickin awesome" Baekhyun said out of breath. "Don't you think so Kyungsoo?" 

Kyungsoo looked at Baekhyun for a few seconds, eyebrow cocked as he wondered on what to say.

"Kyungsoo wasn't that great?" Baekhyun said.

"Oh tru" kyungsoo replied
