As I was washing the dishes from tonight's dinner, I suddenly thought of him. It's been a while since he last visited, well, it's not like I was expecting him to stay anyway. Nope, definitely not expecting anything from that guy.
But I wonder what he's up to right now. Ugh, what am I even thinking about? I'm starting to think of Jimin more often and I'm getting scared.
Another thing that bothers me are the dreams I have every night. I usually don't dream several nights in a row and my dreams feel surreal too, as if I could touch whatever appears in that dream. As if I could actually converse with the man I meet in my dreams. However, I feel like I do know him in reality, his name is Park Jimin but the face, it was always blurred. It's impossible for me to even picture what he looks like.
But how in the world would I dream of a face I have never seen? How could such a thing happen?

I took a quick shower and got ready for bed, checking my instagram news feed while lying on the bed. My door cracked slightly open with my sister's head peeking over. "What's up?" I look up from my phone. She walked in my room without hesitation and tackled me with tickles, my all-time weakness. "The heck, Eonni! S-stop!" I screamed as her fingers continued tickling my wriggling body. *Eonni - what a female calls another female that is older than her.
Out of breath and with an almost pale face, I gasped for air as she stopped tickling me. "Guess what?" She said and I rolled my eyes, she's talking to me as if she didn't just almost tickle me to death. "Ugh, what?" I groaned. "Jimin's working at the cafe for half a year. Isn't that fun?" She announced excitedly but my heart skipped a beat as soon as I heard the name Jimin. "Well, so? What about it?" I acted like I didn't care. Fvck, I care a lot!
"Oh, nothing. Just wanted to let you know, sis." She was teasing me and I'm never happy when I get teased. "I'm sleeping now so shoo!" I said in annoyance. "Eh, just tell me you're so happy about this that you're heart wants to beat out your chest!" She stuck out her tongue as she walked out of my room. Well, she got me right there.
I hugged my pillow tight as I thought about what Hyejeong said. Damn, how could I start having feelings for someone I barely know?
The next day
I scooped a spoonful of soggy cereal into my mouth as I watched Hyejeong jump around the kitchen. "This is it! This is it!" She squealed in joy and a huge grin spread across her face. "1 day to go!" That's it, she had too much sugar this morning. "Geez, calm down, calm down. You're too noisy and it's still early." I grimaced but she just raised her brow at me, "If this cafe doesn't open tomorrow, poor you. No more Jimin then."
My ear perked up at the name. "I told you, I don't care." I said, dragging the 'care' longer. Still irritated, I stood up from the chair and put my bowl in the dishwasher. "Gawd, how long do you have to pretend that you don't like him when you do?" She suddenly spoke when I was halfway from walking out of the kitchen. I ignored what she said and went back to my room.
I sat on my bed and sunk my head in my incredibly soft pillow. Ugh, do I like him or do I not? I contemplated for a while. I'm pretty sure I don't but he's like a magnet trying to pull me close to him.
But before I knew it, I had already drifted to sleep and mind you, I just woke up an hour ago.
Sitting on a bench at the park, both of us were looking down to ground. His breathing was still but mine wasn't. My heart was beating out of my chest and I couldn't breathe properly. For some reason, I was nervous today. Was it because of his sudden confession? Was it because I've felt the same way for ages? What is this that I'm feeling? It's difficult for me to explain how I feel at the moment. It's given that I'm nervous as hell but at the same time, I couldn't help but smile. Just a few minutes ago, he told me what I didn't expect for him to tell me.
"H-hyeji, I'm really happy." He stuttered as he broke the silence between us. He was smiling wide and his cheeks were flushed red. I, on the other hand, was trying to meet his gaze but failing every time. How could I when he just told me things unexpectedly? I puffed my cheeks to release the nervousness building in me. "Me too. T-that was, um, bold of you." I smiled awkwardly afterwards, he just giggled.
"Ahhhh, I'm so happy I could just die." When he said die, I immediately lifted my head up. "What the- Park Jimin, no!" I gave him a stern look and that just made him laugh more. "Hyeji, what should I call you now? Jagiya? Babe? Baby?" He asked which made my ears and cheeks turn red. I smacked him in return.
Then the whole thing blurred out. Everything was replaced with bright light and everything was gone.
I woke up from the dream and my head started to hurt. I massaged my temples to relieve the pain and a few seconds later, miraculously, the headache was gone and so was the man's image. It was always like this. I wake up remembering almost nothing, literally nothing but the most useless details. Like what the skies were like at that time, how unsteady the bench was, what flower was growing on the bush beside the lamp post, but everything else was blurred before I could even describe what the dream was like. Again, I sighed in exasperation as I failed to recall what that Park Jimin looked like.
Speaking of Park Jimin, if that Park Jimin was this Park Jimin that I know, I would kill myself for dreaming of him because that's creepy. Though at the same time, I'd be happy that fate had actually planned it all out but chances of fate being that nice is 1 out of 101395 times.

Having decided that it's finally time for me to be productive, I walked out of my bedroom and saw someone I'd never expect to visit anytime. "Hi Hyeji!" He enthusiastically greeted me and that made me panic deep inside. I waved at him and mouthed a "Hi," then hurriedly went back to my room.
My heart was palpitating once again because of him. I exhaled multiple times before I started to actually take in what had just happened a minute ago. I just had a dream about a man whose name is Park Jimin (his face's still blurred though) then I wake up thinking about the name Park Jimin, and a Park Jimin, who I just happen to have unsettled feelings for, suddenly comes to my house.
Just what the heck is happening?
