Chae-Won's Pov ;

"Chae-Won." I heard a voice call my name, disturbing my peaceful rest.

"Huh..?" I slowly open my eyes, getting up from the cold floor I was previously laying on, a hand massaging my temples.

"My head's killing me, ugh.."

I sit up on the floor, squinting my eyes in the direction I heard the voice come from.

My eyes widened when I realized who the owner of he voice was, getting up in a frenzy to approach them.

"..Mom?!-"

"Chae-Won, dear." She flashed a small smile at me, a smile I only saw once from her before she had died when I was a child.

I felt my eyes tearing up, trying to hug her but my hands going straight through her-no matter what I did, I just couldn't feel her touch again.

Despite how painful it was not to feel her touch, I was just glad to see her again after so long.

"Mom, you have no idea how much I missed you-It was so lonely, being-" Before I could tell her what had happened in the past years she was gone, she cut me off.

"As much as I'd love to listen to you, honey, we only have a limited time here." She started.

"I've asked the higher ranks up here to give you a second chance in life."

2nd chance..?

"Wait, am I.." The realization struck me.

Oh.

This wasn't a dream.

This is why I could see mother.

Not because I'm in a dream.

Not because she's alive.

Because.. I've died.

"Mom, but I want to stay here with you-" I argued. Why would I stay in that hellhole of a place when all those whom I've loved are up here?

"Honey. Please, listen.

I want you to live the life you deserve. I don't want to see you up here, not having lived the life you want.

Please, this is your chance. Take it."

I silently listened to her pleading, thinking about what she had said.

It would be nice to finally live a good life, after all, this life just felt repetitive and dull.

"That second chance sounds nice, now that I think about it." I mumble under my breath, but loud enough for her to hear it.

Her smile returns, "I'm glad you think so."

I smile back at her, oh how much I'll miss her again..

"Enjoy and make the most out of this life, dear."

Once more, my vision slowly turns black, her figure leaving my vision.

I will mom, I will.
