it feels warm.

am i dreaming?

i felt something.

movement.

i guess i'm dreaming.

the movement started again.
it felt warm. soft.
i never knew dreams could feel so real.

and then i felt it again.
this time on my arm.
what is this?

i slowly opened my eyes.
hospital room. white walls. the beeping monitor.

beeping monitor?

i looked at eru.
her hand was on my arm, gripping lightly.

gripping lightly.

"eru..?" for the first time, i spoke her name with hope in my voice.

and i saw it. i'm sure i'm not dreaming now.
her eyes were open. her eyes were open and it slowly met mine. her mouth opened slightly at the sight of me.

and for the first time, i saw tears form in her eyes and stream down her cheeks.

i felt a strong surge of emotion in my chest.
"ERU!" and as soon as i hugged her, i started crying.

"you're finally awake, eru!" i said and hugged her tightly, tears streaming down my cheeks.

"i missed you. so much." i whispered.

eru didn't say anything and just cried.
it's okay. it's fine.
she's awake now and that's all that matters.

"welcome back, eru."

[ some time later ]

gentle winds blew strands of hair from eru's face.
she looked serene, with the setting sun's rays on her calm features.

she told me she finally told tae everything.
i didn't know what she mean with everything although i know she included in it the whole love potion thing. whatever she said after, i have no idea.

after so long, we finally have the chance to talk.

"i have a confession to make."

"yes?"

"don't you realize anything?"

i raise a brow.
"realize what, exactly?"

a small smile formed on her lips.
"you're still an idiot, jungkook."

"what did you say?"

she fully faced me now.
"it worked with you. i woke up. because i'm in love with you, jungkook."

my jaw dropped.
eru's.. in love with me?
is that the reason why she woke up?

she laughed softly and walked towards me.
"you're joking, right?" i asked.

"i'm unapologetically really in love with you."

- end.

'souls trilogy']

author's note;
