Mum told me not to read books like these, but what can I say? Dark Romance always caught me up.
Giggling and blushing I kept on reading while rolling on my bed. Just then I heard mum calling me from downstairs. I ignored her and went back to the book. The next thing I knew the door was opened and a boy entered in my bedroom like he owns it. He looked at me for awhile and then at the book.

"Well well, I need a new velvet jacket that we saw yesterday"
I arched an eyebrow while sitting up and hiding the book under the pillow

"And why do you think I will give that to you?"
He shrugged and smiled widely

"Don't and you get scolded"
I stopped my brother when he was about to call mum and complain about me. Whenever he got to know my secrets, he threatened me and demanded his wishes.

"Fine, just don't spit it"
He lunged forward and enveloped me in a tight hug, the force was so sudden that crashed us on my bed. He kept on ruffling my hair and  I slapped him everytime he did.
Our laughters halted when we saw our mother standing on the doorway, trailing a glare between us. I heard him gulp beside me and I muffled my laughter while pointing towards him.

"Mum, Really it was kriz, you know right I won't fight unless he provokes me?"
She directed her glare towards kriz and that made me alot happier.

"It was her"
I gasped at the white lies he was spitting and then mum broke into pit of laughter followed by both of us.

Darkness, it's all dark. I couldn't see.
Blood so much blood!
On my hands! On clothes. Blood blood blood!

I jolted up awake with a loud scream. Sweat trailed down my neck. My bedsheet sticked to my feets so I threw it away, still trying to process what happened. My whole body was trembling. I heard the door open and close with a click.
Allysa entered in my room with a cup of soup she found a few months ago on internet. They said it helped with nightmares and it actually did. She sat on bed while handing the cup to me. I took it but my hands were shaking to the point I thought I'll drop the soup on my t-shirt.

"Which one?" She calmly asked.

"Books" I spoke. By this time allysa was familiar to all of my dreams. They are haunting me from five years. I kept the cup aside when allysa hugged me gently. She rubbed my back and I consumed her comfort in my system. It was always her who was there by my side on my worst times. We stayed like that for awhile and realisation swiped through me.It was 3am. Without even looking at the clock I can tell it's 3 cuz that's the specific time of my nightmares. I am always awakened by nightmares at this time. She moved back while smiling.

"It's okay, I am here" I shook my head. "It's 3, go back to sleep"
She shrugged while giving me a shoulder message.That relaxed me alot. After a few minutes I convinced her to sleep and she agreed. She had work tomorrow.
I walked in washroom and took a long shower. Changing into my gym outfit I jogged out of my apartment. That's all, I am barely able to sleep at nights. After 3 am I never slept back. I was never able to. I stopped infront the gym which is just few blocks away from my house and entered in. It was always open.I threw my bag on the side and turned around to face a unusual site. May be I was still in sleep, but last time I remembered I never had dreams of park jimin. He was sitting on the bench while chugging water from his water bottle, all sweaty.
I myself was all sweaty because of the running I had done before popping up in gym. When did parkjimin started entering in this gym? I never saw him here before
I walked towards the treadmill, while speaking out allowed.

"Last time I checked VIPs never used this gym"
He looked up from his thick lashes,
breathing with open mouth. His muscles could be clearly seen from the sleevless tank top. My gaze went back to his lips which were still apart. I assumed he saw me checking him out because now there was a cocky grin on his face.

"You should keep your mouth shut and let people assume you're dumb, don't open because it will only make them clear"
I scowled at his insult. Bitch thinks he is good with those.

"You have your entire life to be jerk, why not take today off?"
I asked in a polite tone, he stood up and ignored my insults while doing whatever he does. It was all silent for the rest two hours. I did my daily excercise. It was 5am when I finished. I glanced up at jimin, who was still doing push ups. I took my water bottle out.

"It's been more than 3 hours, you are still going to be here?"
He stopped mid-way and casually replied.

"Don't have anything else which would keep my mind off certain things. Don't think too much butterfly, it's my daily routine"
Firstly I thought about the 'certain things' and then I thought about how he called me butterfly again. I never knew how my brain processed but whatever shit it did irritated me to the core.

"Wanna grab coffee?"
I threw my bag over my shoulder and waited for him to reply. I could see the internal battle he was having but then he replied.
"Okay" We both took off from the gym and walked to the nearest cafe. For a meantime I thought to run away from him but that would be a coward move since I was the one who asked. Allysa took me to this cafe alot, she thought it was cute because they let us sit outside with soft music playing around. We took a sit and gave our order. The silence after the waitress left was thick and awkward. He wore a overcoat on the previous sleeveless top and I did too.

"So? Why crashing on this gym all of a sudden?"
He fake smiled while playing with the bracelet on his wrist.

"My personal gym is on revamping, so for a few days I'll use this one"
I nodded my head in understanding.
It was awkward again but there were alot of questions in my head I wanted to ask but would he answer? It didn't matter

"How many hours do you workout?"
He narrowed his eyes at me, probably thinking why I thought he would answer this question.

"I barely sleep in nights. So just to drift off my mind from useless thoughts I stay at gym for 5 hours"

Shock was clearly visible on my face. Not because he was so much like me but because he stayed at gym for 5 hours. Is he really mad?
Working out is normal but atleast only 2 hours.

"isonomia?" I asked out calmly. Isonomia is sleeping disease in which the person have difficulty while falling asleep. They're mostly awake in nights and just 2,3 hours sleep to refresh their system. It was crazy how they couldn't sleep when they were tired. He hummed and stared into space. That made sense.The coffee arrived when I was about to open my mouth again. I slammed it close and stared at sunrise. Jimin was also doing the same. Our coffee session went in silence but this time comfortable one. When it came to paying, the fucker told he had no money with him at the moment. So much like him. So I had to pay for both of us. We parted our ways a few minutes ago and now I was going to get changed and head for work.
Gonna be a long day!
