"Danielle" a mysterious voice calls out to me.
"Hello?" I stutter out a response "Do I know you?" I question the voice.
"You don't recognize your fathers voice." The voice says with a hint of sadness in its voice.
"I... I'm sorry but I don't know who you are. Maybe you could tell me your name?" I offer the strange man, wondering why he thinks he is my father.
"Danielle, I am your father, please believe me." I realized that the voice had been circling around me, and only then did I take in my surroundings. I was sitting down in the middle of a circular bookshelf, there was no way out. The lighting was a dark blue color and it got darker from the middle out. I was cradling myself in the middle of this bookshelf, I stood up and started trying to follow the voice which was saying things like "Please I am your father how dare you not recognize me!" and "Danielle, come home with me please." I end up spinning in circles feeling overwhelmed with all the voices yelling at me. Until it finally just...

Stops.

I turned around having heard nothing, it was silent, a complete opposite of what I had just experienced.
I hear my heart pounding against my chest.
"Hello?" I ask, confused at the oddity of this situation. A man walks up to me, he looks like a ghost almost, he has no features that I can point out other than the fact of a blue hue coming off of him.

"Danielle," He begins in a softer voice than the man who had previously harassed my ears. "Why, don't you remember me?" he asks, I can feel the hurt in his voice. It makes me feel like crying.
"I'm sorry" My voice breaks and I close my eyes, feeling ashamed that I could not recognize the man in front of me.

I wake up in a cold sweat and sit up while breathing heavily. I don't recognize where I am, I look to the side and see a figure next to me.
"Who..." I start to question aloud, but soon realize it is Seungmin who is sleeping next to me, he looks so peaceful. Definitely a change from his facial expression at school, I chuckle to myself.

I felt something move that was previously on my waist, it was Seungmin's arm. But before I could move it off me he pulled me closer with his arm. My body, which had been sitting up, is flung down back to the bed so I am laying down again.

I looked around the room, the tv was turned off, and all of his room was clean. He must have started cleaning it when I was asleep. Oh yeah, I fell asleep, how did I... oh, I can't believe I fell asleep on his shoulder. I put my face in Seungmin's chest, feeling my cheeks heat up from embarrassment.

Seungmin moves in his sleep and his arms wrap around my waist and he hugs me while sleeping. I can feel the butterflies in my stomach awake and the blood rush to my cheeks. The feel of his arms around my waist just feels right.

I closed my eyes and started breathing slowly to calm down so I could fall asleep.

I felt her wake up. I'm not that much of a deep sleeper but I wanted to feel what she was doing since she woke up. I couldn't see because I was faking sleeping, but I could feel what she was doing. She sat up, which made my arms loosen that were previously wrapped around her. I didn't want that, I wanted to hold her, I wanted her to feel safe in my arms, so I waited a few seconds before acting like I was stirring in my sleep then I wrapped my arm around her waist to pull her into my chest. She snuggled into my chest like she was hiding from something, then I heard her breathing slow and I felt her relax in my arms, and we both drifted to sleep.

I woke up the next morning covered in blankets, I felt an empty space by me which seemed weird to me but I don't know why, I never sleep with anyone, and I don't have any siblings. I opened my eyes, oh, I'm not at my house, I'm at Seungmin's house.
