[ HAE IN's POV ]
I saw myself in an abandoned room. The only lights are from church-like floor to ceiling window.
I roam my eyes around. Furniture were covered with dirty white cloth.
Why am i here? I step forward but the wooden floor creaked that made me stop.
Is this place even safe?
I turned when i heard a door opened and i waited for a minute until a woman comes to me with a basin and some towels.
It was Jisoo.
Is she really Jisoo, the writer?
Jichu?
She smiled at me.
"We need to clean your wound."
Oh i can hear voices now.
"What wound?" I asked.
She frowned. "Sooho-ssi, you were shot at the back." Then she pulled me to sit on the elavated floor near the window.
Sooho-ssi?
Sooho?
Confused, i let her do her thing.
"Sooho-ssi, you need to remove your shirt."
"Ah! Oh! Sorry."
I raised my shirt over my head and out it aside. The she went at my back and felt a cold water.
This is awkward.
"How was your day?" I asked.
"Hmm.. school was hard. And..uhm the cops are still roaming around the dorm so Jeongmin-unnie always in the room and barely if it's not school-related."
So she's college student? And cops? Were they looking for me? But why?
Did i commit something against the law?
"Why?" I want to know more.
"She's one of the students protesters. How about you, sooho-ssi? Are you..a spy? Just like what the cops are telling everyone?"
My jaw dropped upon hearing her.
A spy?!
"D-do you believe them?" I countered.
She stared at me for a while before shaking her head.
"I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt."
I didn't reply. She finished putting bandage on my wound.
"I heard from Gwangtae-ssi that you play guitar so i boorowed Hye Ryeong unnie's guitar."
I smiled. "Are you silently telling me to sing for you?"
She turned her head away from me.
"No, i'm just concerned you might get bored here."
She's really pretty.
I reached for the guitar and positioned myself to play.
I wish i won't wake up from the dream because i wanna know her reaction.
She then faced me and waited.
"Expecting, Jisoo-ssi?" I asked purposely calling her real name.
She frowned, "you're mistaking me as someone else?"
"No! No, sorry. It's a singer's name" i lowered my head and a chuckle escaped from my mouth.
"Really? What's my name then?" She asked
Shit, i thought i could lure her into saying her name.
"One way ticket." I replied out of nowhere.
I don't know where it came from.
"We haven't really introduce ourselves formally, huh."
I nodded.
"I'm Eun Youngro. First year English Literature student."
Eun Youngro?
She's not Jisoo.
I let out a small smile to pretend i wasn't shocked and sad.
But wait-- she's an English Literature student and i think writers starts with that course? Am i right? Or wrong? I'm not sure.
"I thought you were Music Major."
"No but i like music. I like listening to what's new in the market." She replied.
Each word you say, each laugh
They have such big meanings to me
I decided to sing and i got her full attention.
Even your smallest glances
Even your lonely back is a difficult promise to me
This song isn't released this time and i'm sure Sooho didn't sing for her.
All of you comes to me
As an unsolvable riddle
Sadness blooms as the cosmos flowers at the train station
You're the aromatic scent that blows by
I will build a castle on the top of the fluffy clouds
I'll open my windows toward you, the windy windows
"Wow, Sooho-ssi. You are a good singer."
I was about to answer when her heard a cough from the outside.
"That's--"
My alarm clock rings loudly. I woke up.
The dream..
It's different from what i used to. I forgot some other parts but i'm happy atleast.
The song is still ringing in my head. And i know her name.
"Eun Youngro."
Eun Youngro.
My alarm rings again and i immediately shut it off.
It's a first since years ago waking up from my alarm. Ever since i had that dream, my sleeping schedule ruined.
I need to talk my friends about this. I can get some answer from them.
And...
I'm meeting Jisoo today.
Yes!
