Remember those exams I was talking about ? It happened. And unlike the previous times, I actually attempted it being physically healthy. And guess what ? Yea... Too obvious, right ?
I did top the exam. I DID. I actually couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the rank list. The name "Park Jimin" sitting right under the category of "Name of the student", taking the crown, made me feel proud of myself. It felt like an accomplishment. Not only academically, but it gave an assurance that I could do something.
Entering the house, I expected a sweet calling my name. Of course, who else would it be. But remember ? I said expected. She wasn't at home.
"Soyeon - ah ?"
No answer. And it felt a little weird.
Why ? Even I don't know. The house felt a little empty, a little cold, a little abandoned.
But what happened today ? It never happened before.
I dropped my bag at door step and walked to my room.
But before going upstairs, I felt an urge to go to my parents room.
I just felt like going there. It was as if...
I was being pulled in there.
-----
Entering the room, it felt so unusually quiet. The same room that was adorned with the memories of me, dad and my mom playing together, me and my dad having fight within those blood stained walls from all the times my head had been smashed onto, him yelling at my step mom, felt a little too silent. That closet which saved my life, Yup ! The one I hid in.
Suddenly, a pain shot up in my head. Not physical pain, like the ones we have from headache. It was as if I was having a conflict with my mind.
I sat down on the bed, holding my head, as the pain increased steadily, gradually conquering over my senses.
-------
I was standing in the middle of a road, maybe ? I don't know. It was so dark and cold, I couldn't concentrate on my senses. But all my mind and heart told me was...
Soyeon lived here.
Why would she live here ?
I took slow steps to the front, as I felt like someone was chasing me. I don't know what was happening, but all I knew was that I was running, slow but towards something...
Which wasn't in my line of sight. It was probably really far away.
"Soyeon, Where are you ? Come out !" I called out.
"I am here Jimin - ah. But where are you ?" a voice called out to me. It was Soyeon.
"Ye- No .... No .... I don't know... Where am I ? Am I lost ?" I said, not believing what I had just said.
"Yes, you are... You are lost... In your own-..."
I jolted up.
It was a nightmare.
I looked around only to see that I had fallen unconscious with the sudden headache (?) I could say ? The view through the window showed that it was late evening. But, what caught my eyes was more important than the time.
A note. A yellow sticky note.
Hi Jimin - ah.
You were supposedly sleeping so I didn't disturb you. But just wanted to tell you, that I won't be home till tomorrow. Don't worry. Just some work.
Also can we meet tomorrow night ? At the same place ? I wanted to tell you something important.
See ya there.
~ Soyeon.
Wasn't it weird ? That headache, that nightmare, that note, her sudden disappearance...
And what creeped me out was...
I remember my entire nightmare. Completely.
And science says it's impossible, unless you are the one to come with it.
Well let's see what would happen the next day...
Since I wanted to confess something too...
------------------
Interesting ? Or is it getting Boring ?
