As you slowly open your eyes, blinding lights greeted you,

Lush green grass, bird chirpings, clear blue sky, a very perfect scenery of a nice day,

But as you examine the place you noticed that there's a only one tree standing in the middle,

The tree is really big, it's roots are bulging from the ground,

The branches are stretching as if trying to reach the endless sky,

You sat at the middle of the tree,

You feel so calm just sitting there, it feels like all the stress that you have slowly disappears,

But suddenly everything slowly fades, and became a complete room of nothing but black,

You tried to rub your eyes, waiting for it to adjust in the dark,

When finally you can see a bit, you saw a person standing in front of you,

You tried to talk, but no words came from your mouth,

You saw the man turned around while wearing a big evil grin in his face,

Your body stiffened, seeing how that man slowly walks towards you,

Suddenly you woke up from the dream, seeing Aron who is staring at you with a worried look.

"Are you ok?" He asked.

You nod, and examine the place, when you realized that it's already dark.

"What .. the .. why didn't you wake me up, look it's already dark" You stood up and pulled his arm.

He hugged you, which caught you off guard, all you can do is hear his heartbeat.

"Are you really ok ... i tried to wake you up, but .." He said as he continued to hug you.

You don't know why, but whenever you're with Aron, you always feel so secured and warm.

So you let him hug you, "I-i'm .. o-ok" You stuttered.

"I know you're not, from what i saw earlier, you're having a bad dream .. i know it.. " He said.

You tried to break the hug, but as you struggle he also tightens his hug.

"Please.. just let me hug you ... " He whispered in your ear.

"Why ... " You asked, you don't know really why you asked him that.

He broke the hug and cupped your face, "Ji rin ... i like you .." He said.

His clear eyes are looking at you, you can sense the sincerity in the words he said.

You felt happy but you're still confused why.

Silence filled the area, Aron is still looking at you, you only managed to look away,

"Stop ... that .. " You said.

"Why ..." He asked.

"Don't make me laugh Aron" You don't know why, you're happy and that's a fact, but there's

This feeling in your heart that makes you ... uncomfortable.

"I'm not joking Ji rin ... i really like you ... i really do, right from the start where you treat me like a normal student.."

"I treated you that way cause you are a student ... let's just forget everything arasso?"

"No ... i can't ... you said that you can't sleep because of me right... that means you love me!" He shouted.

"Don't get cocky Aron .. I'M NOT FALLING IN LOVE TO SOMEONE LIKE YOU" Your eyes are now filled with tears.

Aron grabbed both of your arms, "You're lying Ji rin .. and we both know that you love me too"

"Shut up .. this is getting in my nerves stop it... " You whispered.

His words really are true, yes you know that you love Aron since he's always there when you need someone to comfort you,

But you really don't know why you can't accept his feelings ..

"Please .. Ji rin be true to yourself .." He tried to hug you, but you stopped him.

"Stop ... i can't ... i really can't ..." You said.

"Why Ji rin ... " He desprately asked.

"I .. don't know ... sorry " You turned back and started to walk away ..

You're now at your room, sitting on the bed while staring at the night sky.

Why can't i accept his feelings ...

I know the fact that i like him too...

but ... why can't i just

I'm such a fool ... Aron is the only one who can instantly calm you ..

and yet you left him ...
