I exit the building, and head home. Today was exhausting, but all that is on my mind are Sung-mins' eyes, they are so beautiful. His eyes remind me of an ocean, and I'm just a boat, lost.
I grab the keys to my apartment, and enter with a big, long sigh. It is a sigh of relief, it is a sigh that can only be described by how much fatigue I went through today. I throw everything on the couch, lock the door, and enter my bedroom.
As soon as I step in my bedroom, I plop down hard, onto my bed. With a big thunk, I rub my head, seconds after my head banged against the wall. That hurt, both my pride and my head.
I lie there on my back, staring at the plain grey ceiling, as I feel a shiver run down my spine. It isn't much of a shiver, as it progresses into a sharp, excruciating pain, that slowly makes its way to my head. It hurts so much, I feel like I should scream, but before I can even open my mouth; the room goes dark, and I am no longer conscious.
I then see my mom, and then I look around. Wait- This is way too familiar, I know this place. Hold on... this time period is also familiar, I have been here before. Then it clicks, as soon as mom walks to the living room to ask my father to get groceries.
"No. No!!! No,no, this can't be happening!!!" I scream, but nobody seems to care, they hear me but they just don't want to. I can feel it this time, I can feel the absolute horror and anxiety that I should have felt when I was younger.
Now I'm in the car with mom, "NO!! Mom, please slow down! It is dark outside, anything can happen!" I say practically screaming. She decides to pay attention to me this time. "I'm going under the speed limit sweetie, it's fine." I begin to cry. She doesn't seem to notice the crying. Then, it happens.
The bright lights of a semi-truck flash into our faces. "I love you so mu-" Are my mother's last words, before we get crushed into oblivion. I scream, louder than ever. Anger and guilt rising to maximum capacity. "MOM!!! NOOO!!!!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!!!! DON'T DO THIS TO ME!!!! NOT AGAIN!!!!" I cried.
I woke up to see Sung-min holding me tight, with a worried look on his face. I begin to ball my eyes out. I can't stop sobbing, so I just let it all out hoping I won't feel anything ever again.
"I should have told her how much I loved her, but I didn't know that I loved her so much. Why is this happening to me? What is wrong with me?" His soft voice whispers into my ears, "It's alright, everything is going to be okay." Sung-min said this as he hugged me tighter.
