VIII. dreaming schizophrenia

JiU

              
Somehow, in the middle of Chemistry lesson, I happened to recall some of my past memories with my missing sisters. The teacher was boring so I couldn't help but just think to myself.

When I opened my eyes, it was an unfamiliar place. It was a pretty room. A dull pink shade was the colour for the walls, a cute study table, a white wardrobe and a nicely-designed window.

I looked down to where I was and the lower half of my body was covered in a light pink blanket. The bed under me felt really comfortable. It was as if I woke up in this bed.

I didn't remember having such a cute room.

Just then, the door opened only to reveal-

Handong?

"Morning Jiyoo! Time for dinner!" She said cheerfully with a smile. I was stunned. Why was she here? Where was I? I couldn't form words in my mouth.

"Dami's made the food today! Who knows if it's nice. You're one to judge it! Come on," Handong approached me and pulled me by my wrist. I slipped out of the covers, seeing myself in a simple white flowy long sleeved dress.

I was pulled down the stairs, and the whole place made me feel puzzled. I didn't recognize anything. A while later, I saw my sisters sitting around a round table with breakfast readily made on their table.

Somehow, they had their heads turned to me before I even could see them. It creeped me out.

"W-What how?" I muttered in disbelief. I saw them clearly sitting, looking all healthy and.. alive. Dami grinned widely at me.

"Hi unnie! Mind trying my cooking?"

I was forced to sit down on one of the chairs circling the pink clothed table and an appetizing-looking meal was displayed in front of me. The mayonnaise and ketchup were nicely poured over the steak, with veggies and a dessert cake by the meal. I looked at it skeptically and back up at the girls.

"How are you guys here? Where exactly are we?" I tried to ask but Siyeon just laughed off the questions. I frowned slightly. Dami jumped in her seat, insisting me to try her food.

I felt weird, with the stares of my sisters. But I didn't say anything and just dug in. Surprisingly, for Dami, the food was good. Normally, she didn't cook as good as SuA because she was really bad at it. But... this one was on another level.

"This is good," I spluttered unconsciously.

"Really? Thank you unnie! It's the first time you ever complimented my food!" I heard Dami squeal in happiness. I looked up to see the girls happily digging in as well, with smiles painting their lips. I saw Yoohyeon scolding Gahyeon for taking Handong's dessert cake, and Siyeon chatting animatedly with SuA.

Just as I was about to continue eating, a hand pulled me out of my seat.

"Come on Unnie! I have something to show you!" Gahyeon grinned like a Cheshire cat, as she led me outside the front door. The rest of the girls followed behind us.

I was extremely confused until I saw a beautiful sight in front of me.

A garden full of well-grown flowers. There were so many types, and they were all so beautiful. They shone prettily under the setting sun and the orange skies, multiplying their beauty. There was one part of the garden that caught my eyes; the carnations.

I was snapped out of my trance when my sisters ran around the garden with grins that I had never seen for the past seven lonely years of my life.

I watched the scene unfold, heart softening at the sight. It had been years since I spent time with my sisters... ever since they had been gone.

Handong stood in front of me, and carefully placed a carnation on the left side of my ear. She smiled gracefully as she did so. I stared at her with a mixture of doubt, confusion and happiness. I didn't know what to feel at that moment. It was so real, I wanted to stay in this dream.

A tear escaped my eye. I didn't realize I was crying until she pointed it out.

"Jiyoo-unnie! Why are you crying?!" Handong exclaimed worriedly, holding both sides of my face. The other girls surrounded me and I began sobbing. I was wrapped in a hug, and I felt the rest of the girls hugging me as a whole.

I held their hands, tearing silently.

I had missed them so dearly.

But then, I heard a whisper from them.

"Don't get too close with that boy, unnie."

                                

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a confused looking Hoseok gazing straight back at me. I blinked my eyes a few times, trying to bring myself back to reality.

Feeling embarrassed, I gulped and asked meekly. "W-What?"

"Jiyoo? Are you okay? You've been weird just now."

"Like how?"

"You were spinning a pencil, and the next second, you flung a chair at our classmate's head directly and he needed to go to hospital for a check up," he explained. I widened my eyes in shock at the news and I could feel my face flush for a while.

"I-I'm perfectly fine," I tried to say confidently but it was actually full of doubt.

That was when I saw Hoseok leaning in towards me and frowned skeptically. "Are you sure?"

"Yes I am, and focus on the lesson!" I suddenly shouted.

"Ms Kim, I said you have no right to talk! With that unnecessary throw of the chair, you still deserve to be in detention for three hours for a month!" The teacher roared angrily at me.

Hoseok quickly leaned back in his chair and snickered in amusement at me. I scoffed in embarrassment at all the stares that was shot at me.

I sometimes despised this second sickness of mine. But I couldn't help but wonder what Handong meant by her words.

Don't get too close with that boy, unnie.
