Chapter 6

           A blurring sound reverberates the whole stadium. Hundreds of empty chairs in front of me. A single spotlight only directed to me. It follows me where my suppose paralyzed body goes. I am panting and my muscles aches like it was hammered multiple times although, it is moving on its own. I galloped to the left and made a pattern of movements to the right. Every step caused me to moan in pain. My feet, my arms made another segment of unfamiliar dance and I could not bear another major stir, or I will drop to the floor, but I landed on the middle of the stage gracefully and bow as the music stop too. When I regained my body's control I dive to the floor, breathless and exhausted. As I rolled to my back viewing the oval shape ceiling of the stadium, raising my right arm as if I could reach the star from there.

"This is a dream." I told myself while closing my eyes to wake up to the other end.

"Is that what you got Lisa! You're an embarrassment."

I pushed my upper body up with my elbow to see who the voice was. A person was standing by the

rows of chairs. Calculating where I stand 100 feet from me. "Go back to Thailand where you

belong."

It finally came into view and it was Kochi So-Yeon. "Ku-kochi."

"What are you talking about?" I affirmed, stunned at her words.

She chuckled. "Your style is still the same. You're still far from them."

I narrowed my knee towards me and used it to stand up. "Them?"

"Yes them." She said vanishing into thin air.

"Wait!!!" I was about to run after her, but my feet were glued to the ground. "What do you mean?"

I shouted. "Come back, please."

My head felt heavy, and my hands are shaking. Overwhelm and exhaustion came crushing to me at the same time. The burdens, the pressure, my dreams, my friends, and family. It's just too much to feel everything at the same time. Kochi's words keep replaying over and over like a broken record. I want to scream but I have no voice. Tears started to tickle my eyes, when suddenly a faceless figured appeared. Then another one until in surrounded me. A vile smile grew on their faces, next they laughed and started shouting unpleasant things.

"Bo!"

"Go back to Thailand!"

"You don't belong here!"

I covered my ears with my hands. "Please stop!" I begged.

Their voices stings and their laughs unbearable. My emotions are all over the place as I search around to find something that can help me. The faceless figures created a way and my eyes followed it. There, Chaeng and Jisoo standing with the same grin but with glares in their eyes. They walked forward and their steps were palpable.

"Will help you Lisa." Chaeng said in a voice that made me fidget. As they came into view, their grin gone wider. I could feel my whole body shake of fear. I tried to wake myself up, but I am in deep sleep. Jisoo grabbed my shoulder which cause me to cease what I am planning to do including breathing. Even under my shirt, Jisoo's palm was cold as ice. I gulped nervously.
