Beep! Beep!
The usual ringing of my alarm clock, caused me to open my eyes slowly. For once I'd actually gotten some sleep.

Slowly I sat up in my bed, but Areum wasn't at the foot of the bed as she'd usually been. Instead, she hopped up on the white window sill. The sunlight shining through my window, and into my face.

A small smile forming onto my lips as I caught sight of her in my hazelnut optics. Reaching my arms up, my body gently stretching.

I'm now 20 years old. I turned 20 in March. It was now May.

I began to think about how fast time flies. Almost too fast. Fast enough to let San- I interrupted my thoughts. I was finally having a great day, and I wouldn't let my depressing thoughts ruin it.

My parted lips released a relaxed sigh. I tossed my legs over the side of the bed, and turned my torso so that my back faced the wall.

My feet slid against the soft, beige carpet meeting my soft slippers. Aruem found her way off of the window sill, and ran quickly beside my feet.

As I walked out of my room, and into the hallway where Areum's food bowl was. I picked up the bag of small food, using the cup inside to place some in the small tin bowl.

I giggled when I saw her enjoying her food. "아침 (Morning.)" I spoke in a soothing voice to the eating pet before heading to the bathroom.

I stripped free of my clothing, and undergarments then stepped into the shower letting the steaming water run down my body; one thing I noticed is how much I seemed to develop over the course of my 20 years.

As I poured the soap onto the cloth in that was now placed into my ivory hands.

I began to close my eyes, "기분 좋은 설레임 운동화 끈을 매고서 떠나는 내 뒷모습 초라해 보이지만" I sang and instantly thoughts of Sangwoo flooded my mind. A warm tear flowing down my cheek, but I continued letting a shaky breath out after the first two lines.

"바람을 따라 내 맘도 따라 소나기가 내리는 나의 오후" I began to ignore my tears, and kept going on; I rubbed the cloth across my body gently until I was completely lathered in soap.

I then rinsed, grasping a hold of the shampoo running my fingers through my head remembering how me and Sangwoo had bathed together when we were younger, during our pre kinder years at times.

My eyes shot open as I sang, my cheeks warming up. Thinking of those things now would be lewd. Besides Sangwoo was a man now. But back then we were carefree children..

I massaged my scalp, and rinsed my long dark tendrils before getting out of the shower. I quickly dried off, and wrapped the towel that idly sat on my closed toilet seat around my slender body.

A small smile formed on my lips as I thought back to what I said when I was younger. "I'll be taller than you someday." I began to giggle softly, deep down I knew believed that Sangwoo was far taller than 5 feet and 4 inches.
