Chapter 158 Plans (1/2)
[Are you okay, brother?]
Kyle could hear the worry in Kay's voice as he was staring at himself in the mirror, the last remnants of the nightmare fading in his mind. He grabbed a face towel and dried off his face, still contemplating on this new development of their bond.
[Yes. Just a nightmare.]
[What happened? Want to talk about it?]
[No. Not now. Go back to sleep. We can talk about this later]
['kay. Night]
When Kyle felt like he had calm down sufficiently, he went back to bed. he could hear everyone else's even and deep breathing, so he was grateful for that.
He lay on the bed and closed his eyes, going through his past memories of his past life. The dream must have meant something. A premonition?
As Kylie, she had not seen any signs of anything unusual so she had lived oblivious to the danger that was lurking underneath. Perhaps the dream was a sign that this day, something happened?
Something that his subconscious remembered and thus, it affected his dreams? Kyle sifted through his memories and tried to figure out which past life memory was of today. It was discerning enough to discover that one had been reborn as a guy, but that was nothing compared to finding out that she had gone back in time.
In another continent, she was still alive.
No matter how much Kyle tried to wrap his mind around it, he couldn't. In the end, he just accepted it without trying to figure it out. After all, he was the living proof that it is possible so what is the point of thinking about it?
Right now, he was trying to retrieve a specific memory but it was extremely difficult. It was akin to going through a library to find a book that you did not know the title of. You had a general idea, but it still required you to go through every book title to find it.
Kyle groaned.
Times like this, having a photographic memory wasn't beneficial. If he had to recall any specific information, it was easy as long as he had the keywords. If he needed to know the student registry of Sakura Academy two years ago? Bam. It pops up.
This one? The memories aren't categorised by dates!
He can't remember what actually happened on this particular date so there were no keywords or landmarks like a significant event to help him pick out the right memory. The only clue he had was that his son is 8 years old this year thus, would be in Primary 2. His daughter was only 6 years old, thus still in pre-school.
Still, that was better than nothing.
He had to study one year of memories to try and see if there was something he had missed as Kylie. Kyle knew that he wouldn't be able to do so in one day, thus decided to allocate a few hours each day to do so.
Kyle punched his pillow in frustration and sighed. He would need to see whether MIB had anything, specifically the Nanny Op Agents. Something may have shown up under their constant monitoring. With that thought, Kyle fell back into a troubled sleep.
✿✿ Next Day ✿✿
The Cafeteria was in a buzz.
Unexpectedly, the entire Elite Five guys had entered the cafeteria together. It was only the second day of the new year, so for most people, seeing them together after being away for so long was a treat.
There was just something dazzling about them as they entered, the sunlight seemingly glistening behind them. It was as if everything happened in slow motion and the sight was blinding. Individually, they were striking and together? Devastating.
Even Xing Han, who was normally regarded as the 'normal' one of the batch, exuded a certain mysterious aura that day. Sam didn't seem so babyish anymore, though that was probably just the trick of the light. Kyle's smile was more dazzling than usual and he was laughing more than before. Ali, the dark prince looked more sophisticated than they remembered.
All in all, people made way as they walked through, wanting to just watch that scene close-up.
After getting their food, they headed towards the table that Kay and Kyle always use.
”I'm always amazed that we can always get this table,” Xing Han said as he put down his tray of food and sat down.
”That's because it's sacred grounds,” Kyle replied, taking a mouthful of pancakes.
”What do you mean?” Ali asked curiously.
Sam looked around and noted the position of the table. His eyes darted all over and immediately realised what Kyle meant.
”This is the best spot that can be viewed from almost all areas of the cafeteria,” Sam said slowly, as he continued to survey the surroundings, ”I suspect that the occupants of the tables surrounding this are the ones who ensure that this table is always empty.”
Kyle nodded.
