Chapter Four:

Stranger P.O.V:

I woke up with a throbbing head ache. I take in my surrounding. This isn't my house.. These aren't my clothes.. Where am I? I get up from the couch as I walk around the living room. There's two pictures on the ledge. A boy and a girl in the first frame, looks like siblings, and a very old picture of probably their parents in the other frame. I heard a noise coming from the hallway and I turned around to see a male, probably the older brother.

Jiho's P.O.V:

I woke up early to make Rei food again, but when I was on my way to the kitchen, I saw our guest has woken up.

"Oh hi. I'm sorry I was just looking at the pictures." He told me.

"It's fine-- not a problem." I told him.

I go to our kitchen and take out the frozen waffles I hid in the way back of the freezer. I can feel the boy's gaze on me. When I looked up, he started walking away.

Stranger's P.O.V:

"You feeling alright?" He asked me.

"Sure-- I mean, I have a headache but it's okay." I responded.

He smirked as he started on the waffles again.

"Uh-- Thank-- Thank you for helping me." I told him.

He turned to me as he finished one of the waffles.

"You were beaten up pretty badly." He started. "You're lucky my sister found you, or you could've died."

I sighed. Of course I would've died. That's the risk you take hanging out with the people I know. "Thank you very much." I told him once more.

We talked for a bit as he kept making more waffles. I told him some stuff about me, and he told me stuff about him.Woo Jiho, I think I've seen him before. He is a good rapper. I remember seeing one of his performances, well.. It was an inside job. When the waffles were done, he gave me some, and I declined. But he gave it to me once more and said "You've gotta eat. You're so skinny man like a twig." I laughed and kindly took my share and thanked him once again.

He went into the hallway and I heard the sound of the door open. I sat there eating my waffles as I looked at the house, how it was so neat, how it looked so new. Jiho came back and told me to scoot over to the next chair. Just then, she appeared.

Rei's P.O.V:

I was in the same dream. I was tied down, in the pitch black darkness, but this time the door opened and I saw who it was.

My father.

Immediately, tears started to come down my face as he walked closer, towards me. I cursed at him and he didn't respond back. He lifted his hand to smack me but then---

"Rei, get up. Waffles ready." Jiho said.

I sat up immediately and looked at my brother who was about to walk out.

"Jiho, I'm scared." I told him.

He turned around and sat down on my bed. I saw the concerned look in his eyes.

"Rei, what do you mean? What's wrong? Did anything happen at work? What?" He asked me.

"I saw him again."

"Who did you see? What do you mean-- Rei, I--"

"I saw dad again."

Jiho's eyes grew bigger in shock as he grabbed me into a hug. I started crying as he kept trying to comfort me.

"Rei. He's gone. Don't let him get to you." He told me.

"I've tried, but this dream-- it's so real-- and I really try.. But I can't." I said as the tears kept falling.

"Rei-- Rei shh~ it's okay. It's okay don't worry about him. It's all dream. It's all an illusion." He said trying to get me to feel better.

Before I could respond, he cut me off.

"The waffles are getting cold, plus our 'guest' is awake."

He gave me a pat on the back as I finally got the energy to stand up and get myself freshened up just a bit. I followed shortly after Jiho left my room.

I turned into our kitchen and I saw him. He looked at me. I stood there. He stood up and shook my hand.

"Hi. I'm Lee Jeno. Thank you for saving me."
