"So this is just a dream then???"
Sana closes her opened-wide mouth with her hand. She looks as surprises as Jeongyeon, Tzuyu, or even myself. Tzuyu takes her hand from me. She asks,"Does it not hurt at all...?"
"No....." I rub the spot that Tzuyu pinched. "Not at all..... Have you given your best shot?"
"Okay, let me try it again," Tzuyu asks me,"Are you ready?"
"Do it....." I say before she pinches me again. It's stronger this time. Everyone is amazed to see me holding that pain.
"A... Actually, I can feel your hand pinching me, Tzuyu. It feels real, but--" I say hesitantly,"I just can't feel the pain."
"Is this really a dream, is this really a dream?? Yaaaayy!!!"
"What should I do now?"
"Wake up, of course!"
"But how?" I ask.
"Hmm.... Try to close your eyes," Jeongyeon suggests.
I cannot believe that this is all just a dream. It looks so real. It looks like I'm totally awake. But there is nothing more I want than hoping that I just can wake up from this nightmare. I close my eyes tightly. I'm imagining that somewhere I'm laying on a bed. I need to go back to my real consciousness. I abandon every sound I'm hearing in the dorm. They are all fake.... They are all fake.... I hypnotize myself to sleep deeper and deeper. And when I think I've moved to real life I open my eyes slowly......
I am still here.
I look at everyone like how everyone looks at me: Hopeless.....
"Huh... So this is not just a dream, is it?" Sana looks disappointed.
