after graduating high school, most of my friends went to study far away. We talk online a lot, but....it makes me feel lonely sometimes. I walk towards home, and the thought about my childhood comes to my mind. I don't remember any of my friends from back then, my memory's a blur. All I get is the feeling that something's missing and I can't recall much in fact, I don't remember anything at all because i don't have memories of when I was a child. Did I have friends? Did I get many toys like other kids? sometimes I find myself thinking about this and get a feeling of emptiness.

"I'm home"

"welcome home Hannah" my parents greet me back, their voices coming from separate locations

"mhm something smells really good!"

"Isn't it nice" my dad sits down on the sofa. " your mom's making curry".

I head to my room, the scent of curry making me hungry. The strange feeling of emptiness hits me time to time..whenever I see my parents.

"dinner's ready" mom shouted from the kitchen

I feel so lucky. "coming"

After my parents go to bed, I stay behind in the living room, the clock says its 9:45 p.m. just 15 mins more till my favorite show starts. I lightly slap my face with both hands in order to not fall asleep since I have waited for this episode for one whole week!. I climb onto the sofa, snuggling myself in one corner as I watch the TV commercials run. Slowly, I feel my eyelids getting heavy. I blink my eyes hard, widening them as much as I can. I need to know what happens in the drama! suddenly out of nowhere, the ringing of bells seemingly echoes in my ears. What's this sound? My vision grows in a haze, and all i can see is bright light. What is...happening..?no i don't want to fall asleep yet!

Despite my efforts to fight it, I feel myself gradually drifting into a doze and before I know, i'm fast asleep..my eyes close shut.

I open my eyes, and I find myself surrounded by darkness. huh?what just...happened? Am I in my room? I catch my breath, holding an unfamiliar feeling bubbling in my stomach. Something's not right..

taking deep breaths, it takes everything within me to keep myself from panicking. After a while, my eyes adjust to the darkness. Where the heck am I? I don't know why, but somehow this room feels familiar, but I fell asleep in the living room..didn't I? I try and turn my body to the side

my eyes widen at the sight in front of me. I feel my heart almost jumping out of my chest. In the dark, there is a figure of a young man lying down next to me. what in the world..! confused, I peered at him closer. He's sleeping peacefully and seems harmless.

" Excuse me" I shake him. The stranger groans, his brows scrunching. His eyelids flutter for a moment, and he tries to get up. I sit up to meet his face.

" Um... do you know where we are? I suddenly woke up in this place and.." before I could finish the young man slowly looks up at me. Shocked, I saw that his one eye is blue and the other one is red. Captivated by his mystical appearance, I inadvertently let out a small sigh

" your eyes are beautiful" I said

The young man immediately covers his face with his hands. " no don't look!"

"I-- I'm sorry" Did I say something to offend him? I try to touch him but he looks away.

" you guys are so loud shut it!" a voice came from behind me, My shoulders jump from the surprise. I look behind to see another person staring down at me, his hair highlighted with blue. He looks kinda scary.

Out of the blue, a very loud yawn echoes in the room. In the corner, someone stretches up with his mouth open. " what time is it?" asked a man with blonde hair with a smile.
