The Records
The next morning again starts with her waking up by the birds chirping. She sat up as she looked at her front.
"The birds are too active these days"
She stood up and went to brush her teeth.
"So it's the final plan. I can't think of any other thing anyway. To reassure myself that it's just all misunderstanding I've to do it" She said while brushing her teeth and gargled
She went towards the dining room to prepare her bread and jam.
"Today I'll record every moment. Then compare it with the next day. I'm pretty sure that I'm just being delusional. Because stuck in a loop is the last thing I would like to face"
She started chewing her bread.
"It seems their behavior and sayings changes according to my moves. I've to do the same things today and tomorrow to make it easy for me to compare"
She said as she stood up and went to wash her dishes.
"Am I overreacting?" She asked herself while washing the dishes
She walked toward the washroom to get fresh.
"Of course not! To check I'm not going insane, I've to do this! It's the least I can do for myself"
She said as she came out, dried her hair, and checked her phone.
"If I'm correct then the first thing I'm going to face is that halmoni" She said as she tie up her hair
"Okay then!"
She said as she took her bag & keys and came outside. She locked the door and started walking.
"There's halmoni. The same dress and same food cart. It won't be that hard"
She said to herself as she walked towards her. She helped the old lady as that lady looked at her smiling.
You've to smile too!
She smiled and said "And we're done!" I hope the recorder is on
"Thank you, dear. I'm really glad that an angel like you helped me" She said smiling
This is the same line as before!
She looked at her phone to see if it was still recording.
Yes! It's still on! I can't take risks!
"Uh- Um...halmoni, I'll get going then" She said as she smiled and started walking while the old lady waved at her walking figure
While walking she listened to the recording.
"It's a solid prove!" She said and again turned on the recorder "If my time calculation is correct then that little girl should be around here" She said as she looked up from her wristwatch "Speaking of the devil" She smirked
She started walking towards the little girl & they bumped with each other.
"Omo! Are you okay?" Yeah, say that line! Say it!
"I'm sorry unnie! I was chasing my ball so I didn't notice you coming. Sorry" She said pointing at her pink ball
Yes!
"Uh...um" I've to say something good "It's okay but be careful next time" She said smiling
"Okay! You're really nice unnie" She said smiling
And walah!
"Thank you" She smiled
The little girl walked away while Y/n keep on standing there.
She's been wearing the same orange frock. Does she even change or washed it? Well, I don't have time to think about that. I've to keep going
She started walking. As she reached near her office building. She head to the worker's room and sat on her desk. She looked at her bag which was placed at the top of her desk.
"Now, the file will appear again?"
She asked herself as she slowly opened her bag.
Please tell me it's not there and I'm just overthinking
She prayed as she takes a peak.
"Holy namjesus! It's there! I've to click photos as proof!"
She said and hurriedly took some photos. While she was busy clicking photos she felt a pat on her shoulder which made her flinch as she was way too focused. She looked up to see her friend.
Now it's my time to start
"Good morning Halsey" She said smiling
"Morning lazy bird. You're late again. Why don't you just set alarm for everything?"
The same line...THE SAME FREAKING LINE! Calm down...
"I'll think of doing that someday" She replied
"Well, then good for you as now you're finally going to take my advice. Well..."
Yes! Go no! Go on!
"Boss asked you to meet him in his office. Have you finished the paperwork? That's why he is calling you" She said crossing her arms
I was right!
Yeah, I've finished that. I'll get going then"
She said as she stood up and went towards her boss's office door.
Now I've to act normal as if this is my 'first' time submitting this file even though it's not
She put on a smile and knocked twice. After she got permission to enter she entered in closing the door.
"Morning Ms. Kim. Hope you've finished your work?" He asked looking at her
"Yes sir. It's done" She said smiling as she hand him the paper
Now he'll give me the same work again
He checks the paper and then hands her another set of files.
"Now I want you to complete these and I also want to you to research about products our customers have been buying the most recently" He said as he intertwined his finger and placed his hand on the desk
"Yes! I knew it!" She cheered
"Uh...Ms.Kim...you okay?" He asked shocked by her behavior
"Uh...yes sir. I-I'll go now" She said as she bowed and came out
She sat on her desk and again went into deep thoughts. She came up with another idea as she turned on her camera and started recording herself while the files were still in her hand.
"This is me Y/n from 1st February. It should be 5th February but I'm stuck so yeah. Well as you can see in this file. This same file has been given to me to complete several times..."
She explained what's been going on and turned it off.
"Now I should complete my work" She sighs "Again"
She started doing her work. About 5 hours later when the sun slowly started going down she finished her work. She yawned as she stretched for a while.
"Damn! It's the same work but it still takes me 5 hours!"
"Hey, you done? Want to have something together?" Halsey asked smiling
"Yeah, sure. I'm really hungry. But wait, I've to submit this file"
She said as she again knocked on her boss's office door and entered in.
"Here's the research you asked for" She said as she hand him her work
"Hm, I really love how you're so passionate about your work. I like the dedication. That's the only reason you're here even tho you come late" He said as he checked her work
"Yeah but you've to agree too that I'm not just a pretty face" She said as she winked and walked out leaving her boss dumbfounded
"This was different" He said to himself as he shook his head and again started focussing on his work
She went to her friend and they both head to the same fast food store. Halsey went towards the same corner table again and Y/n just followed behind. They took their seats.
"What would you like to have?" Halsey asked
"Sandwich duh"
"Okay then wait till I come back"
Halsey stood up as she went to give their order while Y/n waits for her. Soon she came back and sat in her seat.
"Let me guess, you ordered Hamburger?"
"Omo! How do you know?!" Halsey asked shocked
"I just know" She said as she smiled and then chuckled
Halsey also joined her and then they started eating. They talked for a good while and when they were done they separated on their ways.
"So I was right? Things are repeating. But why? How did it all start?" She whispered to herself while keep on walking
She fastened her phase as soon as she heard the old lady's voice.
"Hey, drunk man! How many times have I told you to not get drunk and dance outside my house door!"
The old lady shouted at the drunk man while the drunk man keep on dancing.
"And this too" She sighed
She said to herself as she walked past them. As she get closer to her house door she took out the key and opened the door. She entered in as she put her bag on the table. She pulled out a chair and she sit on it.
"Now I've to get fresh and listen to every clip. Who knows the next morning I wake up and the recordings are gone.
I mean if a file can come back then the recordings can disappear too. Nothing seems impossible at this point"
She stood up and went to the washroom to take a hot shower. After she was done she came out and did her usual night routine in a rush.
She then went to the kitchen and turned on music which can clear her mind so that she can think through all this later on. The music made her dance as she cooked ramen joyfully.
At this point, nothing seems to affect her. A lot happened but still, she is enjoying her moment how she used to.
After her cooking was done she sat down and eat in peace while singing along.
"Mom was right. I should've just tried something like dancing or singing instead of this" She said to herself as she stuffed her mouth with the noodles
After she was done she washed the dishes as she went to her bedroom and sat on her bed. She took her phone as she listened to every recording.
She also watches the video of her holding the files.
'This is me Y/n from 1st February. It should be 5th February but I'm stuck so yeah. Well as you can see in this file. This same file has been given to me to complete...'
"Everything seems so...similar"
She laid down as she covered herself using the blanket.
"Why everything is repeating?"
"How did all this start?"
