Fused harmony

20.

{(Y/N)'s POV}

I woke up in my bed, reaching for my phone to check the time as I sat up, propping my body up with my other arm.

"Jesus, even for me this was ridiculous... but if I went back to sleep, I'd probably miss my alarm and sleep in again... really need to stop doing that."
I got up, the eerie silence of the early morning enveloping my surroundings, the slight thud of every footstep towards the kitchen reaching my ear drums. I reached the kitchen, flicking on the kettle to make a cup of tea, standing out on the balcony as it did and taking in the chilly morning air, recoiling as it got caught in my throat slightly.

"I still can't get used to this."
But as I looked down on the street where I was met with my mum staring up at me. Her face void of feeling and her eyes glazed over. I tried to wave, get her attention. But she just turned and walked away, ignoring my attempts, as I tried to shout, the words would fall flat, unable to be heard by anyone, even myself. Then the balcony collapsed, and I woke up.

Quickly checking my phone again, repeating the process from my dream I saw the time.

I rolled out of bed, the silence less consuming this time, inching towards the kitchen and opting to once again make some tea, this time with breakfast in the form of protein bagels with avocado and a banana, along side some orange juice. Simple enough and filling perfect for an early start.

After making breakfast, I headed into my office, checking my ipad and opening the calendar to see what I had planned for me today. It started slow, korean lessons, vocal coaching and then a PR meeting. But the afternoon was pretty fun. Dance lessons and independent practice followed much later with the gym.

"Damn... even for me, this is a lot... Oh well, at least it will take my mind off of everything."
I muttered to myself. I then turned on some music, and watched some youtube whilst I ate breakfast, taking a speaker with me into the shower after I finished eating,

A certain song came on and I caught myself singing along. Smiling a little as the warm water trickled down my face from my hair, which was starting to get a little long...

"Anti-ti-ti-ti fragile fragile..."

[11:05AM]

I was heading to the PR meeting when I bumped into Rachel, we talked a little on the way upstairs.

"How are you feeling? Any better or?"
She asked, worry plastered on her face as she looked at me, leaning forward slightly to get a better view of my face.

I honestly never thought I'd have someone so much like an older sibling... it's nice, she clearly cared for me and I wanted to put her at ease, avoiding bringing up the nightmare.

"Much better after the day out with you and unc yesterday, thank you by the way."
She wiggled her eyebrows at this, laughing as she nudged my shoulder with her own.

"Well, unc is waiting in the meeting room so you can thank him when we get there."
I gave a grin at this, she really was my sister, in all ways but blood. I'm grateful to have her.

We both entered the room, me holding the door for Rachel as I did, sitting beside each other, alongside Mr Seong, after bowing to the rest of the team present.

The meeting, as per usual was boring, and I would've preferred to have missed it. It was always just them telling me what we were doing because I'm not smart enough to understand the intricacies of marketing. However, they did bring up the instagram live from 2 days prior. It was originally causing issues, however after seeing the success it posed, with the growth of my instagram account after it being evident, they seemed content with the outcome, advising me to be more cautious in future to avoid any issues with my public image.
