CHAPTER NINE

“It is just a passing downpour.”

Min Keira

"Dad, please come back... Dad."

"I have my own family now, Keira."

"What about us, Dad? Me, Mom and Keiko. Are we not your family?"

"That was before, Keira."

"Dad, please..."

"DAD!"

I screamed as I jumped out of my bed upon having a nightmare again. My tears are flowing and I'm feeling a lot of pain. Everything seems surreal and it felt like my Dad is really telling me all those things. My heart is feeling heavy right now.

Every night. Not a single sleep had passed that I haven't dreamt of my Dad. I dream about our happy memories together, the moments we played, tease and pull pranks on one another, shopping together, eating and having picnics with the family. Basically, everything we do when he was still here with us.

The only way for me to be with him is through my dreams that is why I'm so scared of what I just dreamt right now. This is far from the usual things I dream about Dad. This one's can be considered as a nightmare.

My tears just won't stop from flowing. I glanced at the wall clock I have in my room only to find out that it's just 12:09 AM. My body is feeling extremely cold and I am shaking.

Me and Yohan is probably not in good terms right now but there is no other person than him whom I trust when it comes to this issues of my life so I did not hesitate to give him a call right away.

I am not expecting him to come since it's already midnight. I just wanted someone to talk to.

Kim Yohan. Dialling...

He answered immediately. Good thing he's still awake.

"Hello? K-Keira?"

"Yohannie.."

"Yohan, who's that?"

I heard a voice from the other end of the line and I am pretty sure that it is Hyewon's voice? I can't be hearing it wrong. Are they together?

"It's Keira. Kei, I'm on a video call with Hyewon right now, sorry. I-is there any problem?" He asked.

Oh, so that's why I'm hearing her voice. All of a sudden, I wanted to just hang up the call thinking that I'm interrupting their conversation. But, can I atleast be selfish for this time?

"O-oh, nothing. I just thought I can talk to you since my sleep is not going too well. I had a nightmare about my Dad." I courageously said.

I don't know but I just felt like I have to push it through this time. I may not be the one that Yohan likes but all of a sudden, I wanted to take him back to where he is right now. He's not mine, I know. But, can't I have him for this one time around?

"Keira, you're old enough to deal with your nightmares. Don't bother Yohan anymore."

I heard Hyewon insisted on the other line. She's probably hearing our conversation right now. I am not even sure if Yohan will choose to talk to me or just continue their video call but whatever he'll choos to do, I'll gladly accept it. Atleast, I tried approaching him first.

I just hope he won't fail me this time.

"Okay, I'll be there."

"What do you mean, you'll be there? It's midnight already and you'll still go to her? Are you out of your mind?!"
