"Hello?"

I felt my heart rate increase just from hearing that one word.

"Namjoon! You're here!" Hobi said, getting up from his seat and walking over to him. He embraced the tall man in his arms with a generous hug. The man let out a light chuckle.

"Nice to see you too Hobi."

"Ah, Namjoon, thanks for stopping by," Ms. Janet said, shaking his hand.

"No problem ma'am," he responded.

I stayed seated, hoping he wouldn't notice I was here. Ms. Janet noticed how anxious I was and quickly sat Namjoon down with his back facing towards me.

"So, tell me about your dream," She said, crossing her arms and watching him tentatively.

I turned around in my seat and watched him and the others.

"Well.." he scratched the back of his head and gave a sheepish smile. "I'd rather not say, but you can watch it for yourself if you'd like," he said, taking off the white marble bracelet and handing it to Hobi. Hobi put it on his wrist and pressed down in the middle of it, and with that, sure enough a dream projected.

Hey.. that's what I dreamed.

I scooted my chair back in embarrassment causing Namjoon to snap his head towards me. He quickly got out of his chair, but tripped over his self and landed on his side.

"Shit.." he whispered, grabbing his ankle in pain. I kneeled next to him.

"Oh God, are you okay?" I extended my arm, offering to help him up. He lifted his head and looked at me. No sound came out, but he mouthed one word.

You.

I still had my hand out, and felt a bit awkward that he hadn't taken it, so I simply put it my my side and stood up. I grabbed my purse and looked over at Hobi and Ms. Janet.

"Thank you for inviting, but I really must be going." I looked at Hobi specifically. "Call me, okay?" I asked, and with that, I headed out the door.

I waved my hand out into the street, waiting for a taxi to stop so I could get home. My eyes wondered the city around me. Bright lights everywhere and the smell of food drifting in the air. I saw couples holding hands, and  parents laughing with their children.

Where am I?

Finally, a taxi pulled up in front of me.
I opened the back door and climbed in.

Oh God, why do I feel like this?

I told the man my destination and laid my head on the head rest. I felt absolutely crazy. So many thoughts ran through my head about what had just happened.

Why didn't he take my hand? Does he hate me? What do I do now?..

***
"Thank you," I said to the man, handing him two twenties and heading towards my apartment.

"Well, where have you been little miss crazy?" She said with her arms crossed and a sly smirk on her face.

I took my shoes off and set them by the door, letting out a sigh.

"Look Selena, today has been pretty hectic, and as much as I love your teasing, can you do it later?" I asked, setting my bag down on the counter.

Her facial features dropped and she nodded slightly.

"Sure thing hun, just checking up on you, that's all.." She said, sitting down on the couch and turning the TV on.

I headed into my room and plopped on the bed.

Maybe, I can just sleep all my problems away, right? Yeah, sleep makes everything better..
