ZHONG CHENLE。

"lele!" i saw haerin from afar.

my eyes sparkled as i ran towards her, instantly engulfing her into a warm hug

"i can't believe it..."

"it is actually you!" she exclaimed and hugged me tighter.

i ran my fingers through her hair,

"i promised you didn't i?"

haerin smiled at me, "you're crazy in love."

i chuckled and patted her head, "only for you haerin."

"chenle..."

wait what's happening?

why is haerin going away?

"chenle..."

who in the fuck is calling me?

"yah zhong chenle!"

and with that,

my eyes shot open.

i panted and looked around.

i was met haerin's face in front of mine. she was dangerously close to me as those golden orbs of her bore into mine.

she then backed away, "you were dreaming..."

i furrow my brows, "huh?"

"i said you were dreaming!" she cackles.

i snort, "that's impossible, you can't dream in a dream."

"nothing's impossible, lele." she told me, sending me a little wink.

which honestly? made my heart melt.

"what did you dream of?" she tilts her head, asking me as she played with my fingers.

i smiled at her, "you."

she scoffs at my words, "how original."

"i'm serious!"

"okay, serious." she rolls her eyes playfully.

i deadpanned, "i met you in real life."

she stops playing with my fingers and gave me a wide stare, "what do you mean?"

"that's impossible!"

i lightly poked the tip of her nose,
"nothing's impossible, haerin."

she sneered at my choice of words, "okay, but seriously?"

i nodded again, "i'm telling you the truth!"

"besides, that's what i'm planning to so anyways."

"i'm going to find you in person, haerin."

haerin chuckled and stared playing with my fingers again. "i'd be happy if you could."

i retracted my hand from hers and gently held her chin up, "then you're going to be really happy soon once i actually meet you."

"you really think we can meet each other in person?" she looked at me, her eyes filled with hope.

"of course. i believe in fate. i'll continue believing that we would see each other someday."

"that's because we're fated with each other."

"some words you say." haerin told me.

"i promise you, haerin." i started,
"we're going to see each other."

"i want to be with you forever. not just in dreams."

"call me selfish, but i want you to be mine."

"then be mine." haerin whispered.

"I lov—

the loud sound of my alarm going off made my eyes go wide. i moved and was shocked to see that i had woken up from my dream.

"but... i didn't say i love you..."

"stupid alarm."
