hyunjin turned his phone off
and threw it on the cold floor.

´´this can't be real,
this is just a bad dream´´
he reassured himself,
crouching down
with his hands in his hair
and tears streaming down his face.

´´he can't have found me again,
i have been extremely careful´´

´´this is just a dream´´

´´just a dream´´

´´just a...´´

´´dream´´

hyunjin heard a low voice
coming from his side.

´´were you dreaming?´´
the voice asked again.

hyunjin finally opened his eyes.
he wasn't in his apartment,
this place looked different,
but familiar.
it wasn't night,
he assumed it was around 10 am,
since the room was illuminated
by the natural light
coming from the window.

and the voice, it belonged to someone hyunjin knew very well.

´´are you okay darling?´´
he heard the deep voice again,
this time closer.

the boy finally convinced himself
to face whoever the other person was.
he gathered all of his courage
and turned his head.

when hyunjin saw
who the other person was he gasped,
his heart was beating faster and faster.

´´hyunjin, darling, what's wrong?´´

´´felix.´´

´´yeah? that's my name.
come on, get ready or we're going to be late´´

´´late? for what?´´

´´you don't remember?
it's our anniversary!
now get out of bed and get dressed´´
