DREAM | NA JAEMIN

𝓓𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓶: 9

"Jaemin!!"

Jaemin tossed and turned in his bed before rising. His mother had been shouting for him down, so he hurried downstairs. "Yes, mum," he said as he approached her, who was filling a box with rice cake.

"Wow, is that rice cake?" he said, reaching his hand out to grab one. His mother slapped his hand quickly, blocking him from taking them. "Why, I want to eat them too," he muttered, pouting his lips.

"You can have it if you help me bring this to the girl next door," his mother said. "Alright mum," he said, give in to help his mother. Jaemin grabbed the box from his mother and went outside to the house next door.

Jaemin let out a faint exhale as he reached the house with the wide open gate. He was hesitant at first, but he stepped within the gate and rang the bell next to the door. He waited for a bit till he heard footsteps inside the home.

"Who's there?" asked the girl, whose voice Jaemin could hear through the speaker close to the bell. "I'm Jaemin. My mother just want you to have this, "He said with a pause. "Hello, Jaemin. Can you put them at the table, please? " she said still behind the door.

Jaemin shifted his gaze from the speaker to a side table near the entrance door. "She's surely a shy girl," he thought to himself. "I can hear you, you know," the abrupt voice causes him to jump as he rushes to place the box on the side table.

"Thank you, Jaemin," the girl said before returning to silence. Jaemin hesitated to leave because something about the strange girl piqued his interest. "Do you need anything else?" she asked again, breaking him out of his daze.

"Uh- do you attend to Jeonju High?" he wondered, scratching his forehead. "Sure, I am. Why?" the girl replied short, waiting for him to speak again. "Can you like show me around school tomorrow?" he said after gathering some confidence.

Unlike Donghyuck, Jaemin tend to very shy around girls except for Na Bi. He became scared of them after the incident, forcing him to ignore girls most of the time. But not the girl behind the closed door. He's eager to get closer to her.

There was a little pause before the girl's voice could be heard again. "That's cool. Tomorrow at 8 a.m., near the school grounds, under the largest tree visible at the school, "She explained. "Thank you, see you tomorrow," Jaemin muttered, backing away from the door as he turned around and left.

"You're welcome Nana,"

Jaemin leaned back on his bed head rest, scrolling through his social media till a thought struck to him. Jaemin sits up upright "Jaemin, Jaemin, Jaemin!! Why didn't you ask her name? "He grumbled, kicking the covers in annoyance.

Jaemin brushed his hair back before his phone flooded with notifications. Jaemin's brow wrinkled as he resumed to the group conversation on his phone.

"Aissh Lee Donghyuck and his little bet," he whispered to himself before tossing his phone down. Jaemin climbed to his feet and made his way to the balcony. The winds brush over his face as he slides the door wide, forming a small smile on his lips.

His gaze was drawn to the sky. He was captivated by the moon's full form, which he admired. The moon's light illuminates the dark night. The stars were scattered around it, making the skies even more impressive.

Jaemin was surprised by the fact that he hadn't had his nightmare since moving to Jeonju. It was weird for him not to wake up with a nightmare, but he was relieved, thinking that maybe he would finally heal.

It's as if he'd grown attached to her, making it difficult for him to let go of the misery. He bet he kind of missed her. "What happened to Yujin? Are you dead? Did your uncle kill you? "

He has a lot of unanswered questions for the girl because his most previous dream was rather unexpected. It was as though she had gone completely.

Who are you, Lee Yujin?
