Nervous Dream

Two

JAEHEE'S POV 

Everyday my eyes open to this wall, painted in white. Not even a drop of dirt on it. It stands beautifully, yet sadly empty. Like my past, like my mind, like ME.

My name is Lee JaeHee. And I am....I don't know how old I am. Two years back I found myself lying on a bed stared at by a group of sisters and knowing nothing about my past. Who was I ? What was I ? I knew nothing. Lee Jaehee, that's what they named me. I could only spend two weeks with them and then I was adopted by this amazing filipino family who lived in Korea. That's how I ended up being the sister of this amazingly beautiful cute girl sitting at my bedside on her little chair , fingers tangled with mine and head on my bed.

'Right, I had that dream again.' I groan to myself. When Sette is at my bedside when I wake up, that means I've messed up.

'Sette ah, Ireona' I wake her up holding up the guilt rushing through my mind.

She wakes up and forces her little smile at me and says nothing of anything that has happened. Dark circles around her eyes remind me again of the recent days she didn't have much sleep, solely because of me.

As she rushes to the washroom and I hear mum shouts from downstairs asking to come down for breakfast, I pack Sette's and my things to our backpacks, iron her clothes real quick and run downstairs. Mum quickly pecks on my cheek as she wishes me good morning and continues to prepare the breakfast table. I quickly stuff a sandwich in Sette's mouth when she is finally dressed and stomps down through the stairs. 

"Eomma, Saranghae..." She shouts grabbing her bag and storming out the house.

This is how my morning runs everyday. 

Having a pretty clumsy and does-everything-late sister at my side, plus a lovely family. God has blessed me with pretty much everything I need. But there's one thing I get stuck at. That is when Sette asks 

'What is your ambition ?'.

I get stuck.

I have been pretty good at studies. Though two years back when I first stepped into the school, I was supposed to have no knowledge over any subject, it seemed as though they were being solved magically. I don't know how , but things were somehow in my mind. When questions were asked my lips just seemed to be spelling the answers. And after two years of studying well, I have perfected my knowledge. Dancing and singing, for a fact has been a god given talent. If there is a talent show, nobody forgets to force me in. Sette's dream is to be a singer, so she is already going to an academy where they train teenagers so they would be accepted in big big talent agencies. She is so into korean singers. Her part of the room has no more wallspace given how she has covered it all with a boy band members' pictures. I go to the academy with her too, just because as I said, I don't really know what my ambition is. So I would just do everything in my leisure time. Anything that interests me. Today we are supposed to go there too, the academy, after the schools ends.

'Eonnie, I'll be late today. You can go by yourself, I'll join you soon' I read Sette's msg after the class before packing up. 

I pack my things slowly to my backpack with my phone on my ear waiting for her to pick the phone up, to ask if we could just stay home instead. I didn't really want to take the route to the academy alone. Huge mansions and old trees guarding the way, yet there was a feeling of horror hidden in them. Sette's boyfriend Myungsoo always dropped us off so we never bothered about that. I heave a sigh as Sette wouldn't pick up realizing I really have to take the long-walk.

I cautiously walk through the narrow-road when I feel that again. You know that feeling you get when there are eyes on you ? This is not my first time. But I figure now wouldn't of course be the time I'd fancy that feeling. My fear grows as the road becomes narrower and the trees become larger as if they are trying to swallow down anything walking through. I slowly turn my head back......to see nobody.

'Should I go back ?' I groan to myself.

It starts to rain when I pass this big mansion looking totally like a haunted house. Heavy raindrops starts hitting my face so I open my bag and dig in search of my umbrella. 

That's when an unfamiliar figure appear before me.

I look up gawking at the well-built large man who just stepped before me. It doesn't take much time for two other males to appear, to my complete surprise, or you can say horror.

'Who are you ?' I ask widening my eyes glaring up at him.
