the rain was pouring immensely without an urge to stop, as if it planned to land into the ground for an eternity. i stood there, drenched in rain dressed in what seems to be a doctor's white coat.

he was standing before me, a man in a green hoodie that i had never seen before. was it just my memories playing me, or those attracting eyes are familiar to me?

It was as if i was a ghost from a distance, watching someone that seemed to be the exact copy of me drop the umbrella down to the pavement. she cupped the man's cheeks with both of her hands and lead him into a kiss, both eyes closed with affection and warmth that i myself felt the warm connection between them.

wait. she's kissing him? i mean, I'M kissing him?

the scene continued to move until it came to a stop, reversing back in time as I abruptly woke up from my slumber. a gasp moved past my lips as soon as I shot up from the comfortable sheets of my bed. "what, what the hell was that?!"

the scent of the lavender and peppermint from the burning scented candle placed on my desk immediately flooded my nostrils once i've gained control of my senses. out of instinct, i snatched the square sticky notes from beside my night lamp and wrote quickly on the paper, making it almost impossible to read.

12th of February, 2016

Today, i dreamt of myself.
standing in my doctor's coat,
kissing a man wearing a green hoodie
under the heavy, pouring rain and
my umbrella alone on the pavement.

"god, i must have gone crazy!" i yelped after slamming the notes back with the night lamp, messing up my hair as my mother comes in the room looking at me as if i've gone bonkers.
well i have, actually.

"yeah, you've gone crazy making a huge ruckus early in the morning." my mom nagged, seeing the mess of books on my desk and the melted candle that just stopped burning a second ago. "what's going on with you and your sister? both of your rooms are mess, and you're acting weird this early too!"

"she must've had a weird dream too, i'm about to go crazy here." i huffed, laying back down to my bed until my mom literally dropped a book on my face.

"you've already gone crazy long ago, my dear daughter." she remarked before leaving me in my room, whining from the pain as i shoved the book of my face.

"MOM, THAT HURT!"

"mom! can you buy another box of chicken later? they say they give an extra piece but i still haven't got mine! that's so unfair." my sister, all in her red pajama glory, asked from the kitchen while taking out the box of chicken from the fridge which she had bought last night, as soon as i left my room.

"hey, do you like chickens that much? do you want to get an unhealthy weight with all these chickens everyday?" i nagged. although Hong Joo was older than me, it was pretty casual for us to nag each other, even nag our own mom.
"stop buying chickens will you? we could literally make a chicken farm from all the chickens you consume everyday."
