now playing:

-

as i take a breath, i could smell the different scents that were spread out in the air. some were sweet, some a little too overbearing, and some, not so pleasant. 

i was walking through a path of flowers - a flower path. the view was breathtaking. i look around, and all i could see is the vast flower field in front of me. sunflowers, daisies, carnations, even those i've never heard or seen of, i'm seeing them. 

wow.

i follow through, finger tips gently brushing against the different flowers. the way they move along under my fingertips, feel like they are welcoming me as they bend themselves forward. i close my eyes, allowing just my sense of touch to guide me through. i could feel the different sizes, the different textures. i stop in my tracks, allowing myself to drown in the beauty of this world, allowing all of these to sink in my memory.

i open my eyes and look around, wanting to take in the view once again. my eyes were then focused on something, or rather someone that's standing a distance from in front of me. i take small steps towards her and i can't help but notice her features.

facing me sideways, i can see her blonde, wavy hair resting on her shoulder blades, swaying ever so lightly along with the wind. she had her arm stretched out in front of her, trying to block the rays of light coming from the sun. but they still managed to kiss her cheeks through the small gaps between her long and slim fingers, making them glow. she had a flower crown resting at the top of her head, and a white, flowy dress which reaches just above her knees, covering her body. flowers around her dance to the wind, birds singing and butterflies fluttering.

she giggled, and they were like music to my ears. 

i am now standing just half an arm's length away from her. just as i was about to reach out and tap on her shoulder, there was a sudden gush of wind. the flowers started floating around in the air, in tune with the wind directions. as if allowing themselves to be manipulated by the wind. suddenly, i am being lifted off from the ground. i flail my limbs around, trying to get my feet on the ground again, but to no avail. i then look up to the girl, wanting to call for help but as i do, she was already walking away on this endless path, getting further, and further...

before i could react, my body swings harshly, and all i could hear was a loud thump, before darkness consumes me.

...

the light shining through my windows made me squint my eyes even though they're closed. the light starting to sip in, slowly consuming the darkness. after much tossing and turning, i decided to wake up. not because of the blinding lights, but because of the heat the light carries along with. it was burning my ass.

it didn't take me long enough to realise that i'm sitting on the floor, instead of my bed. and that my head seems to be throbbing. 

"what the..." i mumbled to myself. i must have fallen off from the bed while i was dreaming or something.

then it occurred to me. that dream. that girl.

i suddenly felt a light thump against my chest, and butterflies in my stomach. what is this feeling? why am i feeling this way? i don't know either.

there was a sudden "ding!", which distracted me, also signifying that there's a notification from my phone. i picked up my phone from the small table beside my bed and saw that it's from namjoon hyung. 

namjoon: hey, i'm reaching the cafe in about 5. where are you?

right. i almost forgot that i have a meeting with namjoon today. i quickly typed in a reply saying i'll be there in 10 and went to prepare.

after washing up, i randomly grabbed an oversized t-shirt and denim jeans and threw them on. i put on a pair of black converse and headed out.

while walking down the streets to the cafe, i was pondering about the dream i had earlier. maybe i could ask namjoon hyung about it, i thought.

as the cafe was just a five minutes walk away from my house, i got there rather quickly. i opened the door and my eyes wondered around before settling on a man with an ash grey hair. he's wearing a plain black shirt, tucked into his black ripped jeans, and a pair of black dr martens boots. 

he seemed to know that someone was staring at him as he looked up from his phone all of a sudden, and we made eye contact. he waved at me, signalling for me to go over.

"did you dye you hair?" i asked the moment i sat down.

"yeah, how do you like it?"

"looks good on you hyung."

he seems to be satisfied with my reply. "do you want anything to drink? my treat."

"well, since it's your treat, why not?" i chuckled.

he called for a waitress to take our orders. "i'd like to have an americano," 

"and i'd like to have a vanilla latte please," i finished. 

our orders came after a few minutes. we were just sipping our coffees, none of us opened our mouths to talk. it was silent, but a comfortable one at that. i decided to break the silence.

"hyung," i called. he put his drink down and looked at me, raising his brow a little, which shows me that he's listening.

"have you ever had a dream where you dream about someone you've never met before?"

"no, why? did you have that dream?" namjoon hyung asked.

"yeah, i had it earlier. this girl, i didn't get to see her full facial features as she was facing sideways. so i only saw a little of her side view. even though it was a blur, she seems pretty. well, at least to me. i feel like she's a beautiful person. "

"well, i guess that's possible - to dream about someone you never met, or probably someone whom you never knew existed. "

"i hope she exists, hyung. i really do."
