Chapter Text
----------
"I'll take the stairs."
"Suit yourself, but you're gonna be late," your classmate reminds you before the elevator doors close behind her.
"Whatever," you mumble.
Taking the stairs wasn't a big deal... but you were never. Ever. Late to a class.
After the whole 'Stray-Kids-almost-dying-dreams-crows-elevator' situation, as you labelled it, elevators were strictly off at all avoidable times.
You sighed while walking up the steps, thinking about what happened after you parted with Stray Kids. It had been a month, and it was already way too long, as Jisung loved to remind everyone in the group chat. Since then, that group chat had brightened your day, no matter how silly and weird things were.
When you woke up, hours after blacking out, the backpack had appeared on your bedside table. A quick sift through it, showed the mysterious drawing, a snack bar leftover and your phone, all neatly packed together. I definitely didn't do this... who did?
Naturally, you told everyone in the group chat, but there wasn't any reason to really worry about it.
Everyone in your house came home soon after, and it was like a normal day. Day to day activities continued like you hadn't been gone for a few days. If it wasn't for the key hanging around your neck, it might have been wise to forget it all happened, like a dream. Instead, you wrote down a whole list of questions and read over them every day, just in case something happened and the piece of paper wasn't with you.
Taking the stairs went fine, and the day ran through like any other normal day.
But things surely wouldn't remain like this, being normal was too strange.
