Thank goodness I didn't run into Christopher this morning on my way to the bus stop. Passing that JYP building this morning had me so anxious that I might have seen him. After that dream I had last night, I don't think I could look Christopher in the face. I mean how can a dream feel so real? How could I even dream something like that? I barely know the guy and yet he's already running through my dreams like that...

"Y/N!"

"Huh?"

"Girl! Where is your head?
I call your name like five times."

"Huh? Oh really? Sorry.."

"Are you okay? What's
going on with you today?"

"Yeah, I'm fine.. totally
fine."

I'm totally NOT fine. I can't think of anything but Christopher and my dream last night. It's stuck in my head and I can not focus on anything else..

"You don't look fine.
You face is all red.. are
you sick? Do you feel warm?
Let me check.."

Ye-Jun swings around in her desk chair and reaches her hand out to y/n's forehead.

"Hmm.. you don't
feel warm.. are you
sure you feel okay?"

"Ha.. yeah I'm fine.
I told you that. Don't
worry about me, really."

Ye-Jun squints her eyes at scanning y/n's face..

"IS IT A GUY?!"

What the hell?! How did she know that??

"Huh? What? No!"

"Oh it is totally a guy.
Look at your face. It is
more red now. It is a guy!"

"It is not!"

"Yes it is. You can no fool me.
Tell me what is his name?
How you meet him? I want
to know everything! "

"There is no guy
Ye-Jun.. just I didn't
.. umm.. I didn't sleep
good.. yeah that's all."

"Hmm.. Okay I will
believe you for now..
But if there is a guy and
you not telling me I have to
reconsider our friendship."

"Yeah I know I know.
But there is no guy.."

As much as Y/n want to share everything with Ye-Jun right now she feels she just can't. Ye-Jun being the only friend shes has since moving here to Korea but she feels just a little embarrassed right now.

How can I tell her about that dream? About a guy I only just met and basically know nothing about. I will sound like "the crazy American girl". I'm good! If there is ever something to tell I will let her know first.. yeah that sounds better. There's nothing to share yet.. that's all.

After the work day is over y/n is exhausted. Avoiding her own thoughts or having to explain anything to Ye-Jun took more energy than she could have imagined. Y/n thinks of what she'll do when she gets home deciding that taking a nice long bath and having some tea would be relaxing. Putting this whole situation all the way in the back of her mind was the only thing she wanted to do. The thought of forgetting everything Christopher related makes her realize that she still hasn't even heard from him. She pauses but then shakes her head and reminds herself that she shouldn't think of him and focus on work. That is what she came to Seoul for after all. Giving her self the pep talk to stay focused she feels better. All she has to do is get off this bus and walk past that JYP building without running into Christopher. Simple enough. Right?....

Stalling for a bit by the stop after getting off the bus. Y/n looks over towards the JYP building making sure Christopher isn't in site. Her mind is set and she definitely cannot handle running in to him today. It seems like the path is clear so she takes a breath and begins to walk trying her best to cover her face with a hand. After crossing past the building's entrance she feels a sense of relief. Reaching the end to turn the corner of the block she finally releases a deep breath she wasn't even aware she was holding in.

"Okay, I did it.
I'm in the clear."

Looking back one last time to confirm she's really made it past with out running into Christopher. She stops for a moment to catch her composure. Heart racing from feeling nervous and anxious about running into him, her bag drops from her shoulder and she throws her head back. She closes her eyes, letting out a deep breath. She thinks to herself how much she's ready to finally get home and get that bath started. She straightens up and adjust her bag on back on my shoulder. As she goes to take a step forward.. she looks ahead to see..

"There's no way..."

It's Christopher..

Before she can turn to walk the other way he has already locked eyes with her. Feeling as though her head is spinning. How can this be happening???
There's that smile and her knees feel weak. If her legs give out right now, shes booking the next flight out and heading back for America.

He waves, she waves back to the best of her ability. Her body feels completely stiff. Frozen where she stands, she can't even move feet forward to walk. He walks closer and closer till he is standing in front of her.

"Hey y/n. Heading home?"

"Hey Christopher. Yeah,
I just got off work so yup..
heading home.."

"Okay, cool. I'm actually
done for the day. Let me
walk with you? If it's not
too weird that is.."

He flashes me that smile and even though her mind is saying no...

"Sure ."

she agrees ... what the hell is wrong with me?..
