“You like this, right?"

"You're crying again… don't move…"

"I said stop fucking moving!” The man slapped me again.

I tried to resist his touch but I couldn't move! I can't move my own body! It felt like I'm trapped as I watch him do terrible things to me. I can only cry in silence and wish that he would stop doing this to me. It hurt me. It hurts a lot that I feel like someone else owns my body.

It's not real. No. It can't be real.

“You won't tell anyone, right?” His cunning voice whispered near my ear. “You only love me. And you love doing this with me.” He stated.

Brown hair, rough lips, eyebrows with razor slits, and scar in his left shoulder. His heavy weight against my body, his hot skin pressing against me, his harsh hands restricting my resistance. A mocking chuckle came out of his lips.

I don't know him. His face is blurry but I know what he's doing to me. And I don't like it.

There's a thumping sound in my chest and then my eyes opened and I jolt up the bed. I whimpered and hugged my knees as the tears started streaming down my face. I cried silently. I'm so scared. Why am I having dreams like this? I don't know him but he keeps appearing in my dreams more frequently every night. He hurts me but when I wake up, I could feel the physical pain in my chest as if it's real when it's clearly not.

It's 4 in the morning. I looked over to the other bed and saw a sleeping figure. At least I haven't awaken Jiya.

We don't talk anymore but I could sense some kind of tension between us. And that's okay. As long as she doesn't bother me... I'll be okay.

I grabbed my phone under my pillow and dialed my boyfriend’s number. I'm officially in a relationship with Hyunjin. We spent most time in our semester break with each other and I eventually learned his intentions are really genuine and that I love being with him.

“Hey, babe. You up early?” His husky voice was a proof that I woke him up.

“Hyunjin, it's getting bad again.” I sniff, still hugging my knees. I told Hyunjin about my sleeping problems and the nightmares that scared me so he knows what I'm talking about.

I heard the sound of him getting up from bed. I can imagine him tangled in his bed sheets with a phone in his hand, worried about me.

“Remember what I told you? Take a deep breath, okay? Drink some water to calm yourself down. Are you still in bed? Keep yourself warm.” Hyunjin calmly suggested. His tone was so soft and gentle making me instantly feel better.

“Uh-hm..” I hummed. “I missed you.”

“I missed you too. Sorry. We've been so busy with the production.” He let out a low chuckle. It made me smile.

“It's okay, Hyun. I support you with anything." This time, I'm smiling ear to ear. He and his bandmates worked so hard for their upcoming first album.

I yawned and fix myself on the bed. “When can I see you?”

“Actually, the band and some of our friends want to invite you for a night out.” He said.

“Really? Where to?”

“I'm going there later to pick you up, okay? I love you." He said.

I found myself packing a pair of yellow bikini. Evan is hosting a pool party later and we're invited. After I prepared, I immediately went out the dorm quietly and meet Hyunjin outside who's patiently waiting for me.
