Chapter One

Sana's POV
ㅤ
ㅤ
It was Sunday. No work. A rest day, I guess.

I woke up before my alarm clock went off.  And now I was staring up at the ceiling for I don’t know long. I don't usually get up this early. Especially after working overtime on my shift last night. I only had 4 hours of sleep so I already knew this was going to be a rough day.

There's nothing special about this day. I'm not looking forward to anything. It's just that I can't bring myself to go back to sleep.

My heart is still pounding so wildly in my chest.

"Why does it feel so real?" I mumbled to myself, placing my hand on my chest as if it could slow my racing heartbeat.

I had another dream about him last night.

Everything was so vivid. My senses were so active as wellーI could smell him... I felt his warmth...

"I'm going crazy," I told myself, forcing myself to snap out of my thoughts. I got out of bed and went about my usual routine.

I thought taking a shower would help me get rid of my memories from that dream until I found myself staring in the bathroom mirror while standing still with my toothbrush in my mouth.

"Yaah!" I snarled at my own reflection and hurriedly finished brushing my teeth before stepping out the bathroom to get ready for the day.

To be honest, I'd rather stay at home today. But seeing my father's shoes by the front door made me feel suffocated.

I don't want to spend the rest of the day with him. I'm too tired to hear anything he has to say.

Putting on my white sneakers, I stepped outside and let my feet lead me wherever they may.

My only friends, Momo and Jihyo, are both at work today. I sometimes feel envious of them because they have the same work schedule. I miss hanging out with them.

But since Sunday is the only day I can spend time with myself and relax, I don't think it's all that bad.

I didn't realize I'd already walked a long distance from our house and was on my way to Choansan Park.

It was Children’s day today. That's why a lot of kids were all over the park. It made me smile.

I adore children, but at the same time, seeing them brought back painful memories from my own youth. Though I'm not sure if they qualify as "childhood" memories.

I never had the opportunity to play like these kids or go to the park with my parents. My mom passed away shortly after giving birth to me. That pretty much explains why my dad hates me.

I sat down on a bench with a sigh. I breathed in the crisp scent of the leaves. To say the least, it was a pleasant day.

I had only one thing on my mind right now because I had nothing else to do. I pulled a notebook and pen out of my bag and tried to continue writing about my dream guy.

Let me tell you how I knew him.

When I was younger, whenever I came home from school late, whenever I forgot to make a meal, whenever I would be caught sound asleep, my father would always hit me on the head or pinch me hard on my side that it would, most of the time, leave a bruise.

Every single day of my life was a struggle for me. I never knew why my father was acting that way. Why it seemed like he never treated me like his own flesh and blood was still a mystery to me.

Anyway, enough of that.

I guess I simply became too tired of my life at a very young age that I started to build my own world in my dreams. That’s when this boy entered my life. His name is Jeon Jungkook. He’s the same age as me. He’s bright, beautiful, brave, and ambitious.

Jungkook and I first met in the middle of a forest. He protected me from the wild boar. I have no idea how he managed to save me; all I know is that he did. He then continued to appear in my dreams every night after that.

But as I grew older, he started disappearing. He would come so rarely that it surprises me every time I would meet him again. Just like what happened last night.
