2024

it's a usual monday at 9:30 am. i snoozed my alarm twice before actually waking up and trying to get back into reality. i was still in bed thinking about the same dream i've had this entire week. 

these dreams kept varying from scene to scene, but there was this boy. this boy who was always beside me in all of them. this dream caught me off guard a lot more than the other dreams. this one had him sort of bloody in the face and i noticed glass shards on him and that's all. 

i've never seen his face completely. it was always blurred out or only half of his lower face was visible. the only thing i could notice from his face was the mole on his chin. it fits well with his smile, seriously. 

i wanted to know what he looked like. he felt so familiar. 

i rubbed my eyes a little bit before taking the outfit i put on my chair the previous night into the bathroom. 

-.-

after i got completely ready, i went to my living room and grabbed my tote which had my laptop, ipad, some books, and my pouch, and by 10:15 i was out the door. 

i took my headphones out and put them over my ears, then played music to accompany me through my walk to the café a few blocks away. every three to four days of the week, i go to the café and study for my lsat that's a few months away. 

cafés are so peaceful and the atmosphere is not too loud or quiet. it's just really perfect. 

in this one, at least. 

after i got to the café, i went straight to the counter and waited for my turn.

as the line got smaller, a smile crept up to my face after i noticed familiar silver hair moving left to right at the counter and inside and out the kitchen. when it was my turn, he immediately gave me his fangy smile and greeted me.

"hi sunghoon. busy morning, huh?", i said while grinning. 

"very busy. this is the busiest i've seen this entire week", he said chuckling while also tapping on the monitor in front of him. 

"your usual?", he looked at me raising an eyebrow.

"you got it sunghoon. thank you", i delightfully gave him a wave and looked around at the café.

-.-

i sat near the table that was placed near the window and had a single chair. it was as if it was waiting for me to come and sit there. it was made just for me.

i got my ipad out and turned it on. 

when it turned on, it was the drawing i left off last night. it was the lining of the boy. his plump lips, his perfectly placed mole, and his teeth making the spotlight so very slightly. 

if this is how it looked with the lining, how better would it look with color splashed onto it?
