Resting your chin on top of the counter, all you could do was sigh as you kept recalling the same scenes from today, over and over again. All you wanted to do was forget, yet you couldn't allow yourself to such peace, not even on such beautiful day like that one.

With the autumn leaves falling down and the wind blowing past them so rapidly, yet what you felt so comforted by, was the fact that no matter how fast the wind go, they'd always let go so slowly and delicately.

The perfect mood, the perfect setting, how could such mood of yours ruin everything? How could your life taint such beautiful setting?

Maybe, if you couldn't appreciate this beautiful view in this life...why can't you recreate this setting in another life? Another daydream?

The most common psychological escape of your reality.

Just like the hole Alice fell through, you'd fall into endless ecstasy.

A world filled with mirages that would be exactly like you remembered, yet you'd never seen before.

You could see the endless leaves fall towards the ground, as you ran alongside them, a huge smile on your face that could be seen from miles.

The beautiful sunset on such grand day...yet you just weren't sure what was so "grand" about it anymore.

Is this what they meant when they said the word "youth"? Is this feeling inside you, called that way?

You suddenly stopped running, feeling and seeing something creep up towards you, from the corner of your eye. It had to be human, it had to be human and you didn't know why you knew.

As you slowly turned around to face them, a sudden and familiar "ding" sound caught you completely off guard, as you were left wondering where it was coming from.

Well, so like youth, daydreams unfortunately don't last forever.

That recognizable sound was coming from the door's bell that rang every time a customer would  enter the small cafe, the small cafe you worked and were supposed to serve at.

You tiredly looked up, only to be met with Nayeon, your big sister, eyes, as she looked at you with a small smirk on her face.

"Sleeping on the job, I see~~ I might just have to report this to your boss~~"

"I wasn't sleeping...I was DAYDREAMING, there's a clear difference, you know." you grumbled as you steadily fixed your posture, getting ready to serve her.

"Look...just tell me what you want!!"

TIME SKIP

"It was a hard day for you, wasn't it?" you shyly shook and gave your friend a sad smile, trying your best not to cry right in front of her. You'd never forgive yourself if you'd let her see such a different side of you.
