"who are you?"

A woman in blonde hastily woke up and muttered. She was soaked in sweat and beads of it formed on her forehead. She was panting heavily. her heart was beating fast as if she ran a marathon. She didn't know what happened, she can't remember what her dream was yet the question just rolled out her lips. She didn't know.

The woman sat up, and checked the time. it was 7 in the morning, too early for her to wake up in her day off. Usually she'll wake up very late since she always has a 15 hours shift every Friday night, and the next day is her day off. So if it wasn't because of the dream that she can't even remember, maybe she is still soundly asleep.

"who are you?" the woman muttered again, and as if a flash of camera, a memory crossed her mind. or more like a woman she didn't know who, crossed her mind. It was not her, but another. The woman's face was not clear but she has a small mole under the left side of her lips, and is inches taller than the blonde.

Winter really does not know who it was or what triggered that to cross her mind. It just happened. She dug deeper, trying to collect some pieces of her dream that lead her to the woman she saw. But all she remembers was a bench under a big tree. She grew more frustrated. why.. who..

And then it hit her, she dreamt of the woman before. Nut the thing is, she doesn't know when, but she was so sure that it is not the first time she saw the woman in her dreams.

"Win!" a woman on white outfit waved her hand in front of the blonde's face. It was already late in the afternoon, but she can't seem to wash the woman out of her mind. The woman keeps her distracted. "Win!" the woman on white outfit called again. This time, she successfully caught Winter's attention who was obviously shocked to see her.

"what's bothering you?" the woman asked. For you to know, she's Winter's bestfriend and room mate. And she just got home after her long hour shift. They're both nurses by the way.

"n-nothing. when did you come here?" The blonde asked and shook her head lightly. Maybe to shrug the thought of the woman she dreamt away. That action did not escape the latter's eyes. She knows her best friend, and she knows what was running inside her head. "you dreamt of her again?" the chinese girl asked while looking for something to eat in the kitchen. Or maybe, she'll just cook.

"you know that?" Winter was shocked to know that her best friend knows the girl in her dreams more than her. She cannot even remember-- no, she barely remembers the dream, but the other woman knows. "uhm, you told me about her, win. you don't remember?" the woman walked up to her, and looked confusedly at the blonde. Looking at the face of the latter, Yizhuo knew that Winter forgot about it. It has been a long time anyway.

"You have dreamt of her, Win. Many times already and you always say that to me"

The blonde was surprised and confused at the same time, how can she not remember that when her best friend remembers it? It was just so weird to her. And now she's wondering if she had a memory gap or maybe hit her head hard, but no, yizhuo would have told her.

"You're weird, Win. But the woman in your dreams is weirder" The chinese girl chuckled and bit the sandwich on her hand, not bothering to give or ask the blonde if she wants some.

"why?" finally, Winter recovered her voice which she thought left her for sometime.

"hmm, she visits you once or twice a month" the blonde thought the chinese was just messing with her, But no, there was seriousness in her voice and wonder on her face. And Winter will know if the latter is lying to her. She would always clutch her hand, but that afternoon, the chinese hand was resting on the sides.

"you know sometimes, i think she's a dream traveler"

"dream traveler?" Winter asked, its not that she doesn't know what is was, but rather to ask why the chinese girl thought so.
