the clouds above turned the ugliest shade of blue as if a storm is coming his way.

he could escape or anything, there is something stuck that doesn't allow him to go and leave his dreams. it's a bad one obviously. a peal of thunder can be heard from the distance.

one...two...three. three seconds. that's three times three hundred forty meters per second, making it one thousand and twenty meters. or a kilometer.

but still, it didn't stop him from not flinching because of the loud growl like the sound that hit the earth's skin. after the thunder, small raindrops came down, wetting his hair and his clothes along with the ground under him. the vast forest, filled with greens and browns of trees and bushes swayed, following the wind's command. it's very cold because first, he's drenched in water, second, he's filled with fear, and third, the wind hitting him made his teeth chatter and his legs numb.

again, mother nature decides to turn a tornado towards where he is standing. his eyes are filled with tears because of the wet sand that hit his face like volleyballs that hit every inch of his body. it hurts both his insides and outsides.

he could see through, a young man like himself. he's wearing a large black hoodie and black ripped jeans. he's very tall but he couldn't see the face of the boy because of the wind and the rain.

...

"wake up bro!" someone shouted, hitting his face with a basketball. so that's why his body hurts now. "jisung, stop it! it hurts!" younghyun yelled back. his brother sneakily hid behind the wall next to the older's door.

"and don't hide there I know that you'll scare me." he rubbed his eyes while trying to sit up but just ended up on the bed laying down on the soft warm sheets. "mom told me to wake you up using my technique."

he couldn't believe that he has to live with his younger brother jisung for the rest of his life until college, but it's still years away because he's a sophomore. even with a steady economy family he still wants to get rid of them. his dad works as a host in a children's TV show and his mom works as a part-timer in a clothing shop. his brother is a third-grader but he thinks of him as a fetus. an annoying fetus.

"mom where's the milk?" younghyun asked as he tucked his top out of his long sweatpants. "it's all gone now, honey! but go buy some when you get back from school, I need to make a cake today for your father." he didn't really care much about his own family that he didn't realize that his father is having a birthday in two days. which means that he is going to come home after dinner to celebrate. "just great." he whispered to himself and gets a piece of apple from the fridge, then tosses it to his bag.

he took five minutes for a bath and he speedily runs towards the door holding jisung by the arm. jisung himself has been ready since he woke up. but their mother didn't know he played games with his friend that's two years older than him. "we'll be going mom!" the older yelled as he took his car keys and went inside, not forgetting to throw jisung to the passenger's seat.

"I'll tell dad that you use mom's car without having a driving license." jisung playfully hits younghyun's shoulder, making the car turn right fast enough to almost hit a passerby. "shut up or I'll be throwing you off that seat."

after reaching jisung's school he waved at his brother, but as usual, the younger would look back to see his loving brother say goodbye to him.

"you're late, kang younghyun. please fill in this tardy form before you take a seat." the boy sighed as he noticed that the blue square paper is right in front of him to fill in. he finished filling all the requirements and tried to find the seat from all of those that he thinks is empty. turns out that most of the students are tall so he could see the other ones that lie their heads down to sleep. he found one, but it's really at the back so he couldn't see what the teacher is writing. next to him is a boy he guesses that his cat died yesterday because he looked so emo.

"you good, fam?" he asked as he pokes the boy's arm. the tall guy looked up and to the side to get a view of younghyun's face. "what do you want?"

"oh, um-" he stopped saying things because he knew that the boy would hate him even more. he stayed quiet while playing with his pen while humming to himself until the emo boy sitting next to him put his hands to the boy's mouth. "can you shut up?"

he stayed quiet, but his mind isn't when the period is over. he looked...somehow...

familiar. younghyun just didn't know where did he see the guy.
