Fallen Leaves | Jung Hoseok | Oh Sehun

Chapter 12

I'm running. No. Sprinting. Trying to escape from something I don't even remember or even able to call to mind. All I recognise is the perplexity yet the most piercing, agonising and distressing feeling. I'm not aware of where am I running to. Neither do I know why. But I can't stop. I'm just running while having my thoughts communicate in my head, killing me at the same time. I can feel my cheeks getting wet and the breeze hitting my face. My legs feel as though it will lose balance and just collapse. I'm running and running. Until a car suddenly appears infront of me. I can't stop. Even if I wanted to. I couldn't. I ran into the car. That moment, my mind went blank.

I flew up from my bed, realising that I was only having a nightmare. I'm breathing heavily as if I was being choked or something.

Why am I suddenly having all these weird dreams?

I looked at the time to see that it was time to wake up and get ready for school. I seriously don't want to go to school at all. I don't want to imagine the look I would be getting from everyone today.

"Hyomin? Why are you up! You should be resting!" My mum said as soon as she saw me getting out of my room with my bag slung over my shoulder.

"Eomma. I'm fine." I told her.

She came rushing towards me, "Are you sure? Are you hurting anywhere? Do you want any-"

"Eomma." I said trying to get her attention. She stopped and looked at me, "I said I'm fine." I smiled at her. "Thank you...for everything." I said and dropped my bag before throwing my arms around her neck. I could tell she was surprised but she quickly wrapped her warm arms around me too.

"Of course. It's my job, you're my daughter. And I'll do everything to be the mother you deserve. I'm sorry for everything Hyomin." She broke the hug and smiled at me as her eyes started getting watery.

"Eomma." I said and hugged her again realising how much I've missed my Mom. I don't remember the last time I hugged her.

"Saranghae Hyomin." She said and hugged me tighter.

"Nado saranghae, Eomma."

I went downstairs to see Jimin and Jungkook eating cereal like two little kids. So adorable.

"Oh Hyomin-ah?" Jungkook said with his eyes widened and his mouth full of cereal.

"Hyomin? You're going to school?" Jimin looked up and asked me.

"Yeah...I'm perfectly fine thanks for asking." I said and left.

I opened the gates to see Sehun leaning over his car. Trying to act cool? Aish...

"How is my girlfriend doing?" He said like some dude in a kdrama or something.

"You wish." I said and walked around the car and got in.

"How are you today? By the way I washed the car just for you." He said after getting in and putting his seat belt on.

"I'm fine. And yeah it's obvious. Oh and why didn't you come with your motorbike?" I asked him.
