The Queen of Ice

Chapter 5

Dahyun

"Dahyun ah, it's okay. Eomma will be alright. Please take care of your appa and be a good girl."

"You worthless girl!! If this is not because of your eomma, I will never raise you nor take care of you."

"Kim Dahyun, you b***h!! F***ing go to hell, you witch!"

I woke up in the middle of the night as my nightmares came again. Well, they weren't actually nightmares, they were memories. I started to cry as I got these panic attacks again. Sigh, I wondered how many times I had been like this and how long I would be waking up in midnight over and over again?

"Another nightmare, Dahyun ah?"

"Were you awake because of me? Omo, I'm sorry, Jiwoo ah."

Jiwoo got up from her bed and walked toward me. She sat on the edge of my bed and hugged me.

"Is it hard, Dahyun ah?" Jiwoo asked,"to keep having those nightmares?"

I didn't answer to her question because I was trying to calm myself.

"Here, have a drink," she said as she lent me a glass of water.

"Thanks."

Then, she went back to her bed and said, "Go get some sleep, Dahyun ah."

Honestly, I felt bad for Jiwoo. She always woke up everytime I got these nightmares and I could tell that she highkey needed more sleep because she was tired.

"Jiwoo ah."

"Hm?"

"You know... if you're not comfortable being my roomate, you can actually tell the girls' dormitory supervisor that you want to change your room."

"Yah, what are you talking about, Dahyun ah?"

"I just feel bad that you have to wake up everytime I suffer from these nightmares in the middle of the night."

"Don't talk nonsense. It's not a problem at all. I know all of your horrible pasts, so I completely understand why you always have those nightmares," Jiwoo said as she smiled, "now get some sleep, we have a morning schedule for tomorrow."

I was about to lie down on my bed, but then I suddenly didn't want to sleep.

"You know what, I'm going to take a walk for a while," I said. "Don't wait for me, just sleep."

Jiwoo nodded as she started to get back to sleep. Ah, sleepy girl as always.

I didn't even bother to change my clothes because well... who cared? It was almost 1 am and everyone would be sleeping right now.

I took a walk near the school river as I said some ice spells to entertain myself. I kept sneezing a lot too. Ugh, why did ice wizards even get cold? I mean, we were in coldness every single time. Geez, this flu was killing me.

"Ah, maybe taking a walk in midnight was a bad idea. Maybe I should get back to my dorm," I muttered.

"You're still sneezing?"

Wait, I knew that voice. I turned around and the person who was standing in front of me was the person that I completely expected from the voice.

"Taehyung ssi, what are you doing here?"

"I heard you sneezing over and over again so I thought I could bring you some tissue," he said as he lent me some tissue.

"You walked all the way here from the boys dormitory only to give me tissues?"
