Same Dream

 

 

“So, your name?” asked the psychologist on a pale little blonde who was sat in front of her

“Taeyeon”

“Age?”

“20”

“Height?”

“Hey! Is that even needed?” the blonde complained

“Well, you can choose to answer or I will measure you later on.” said the psychologist

“I refrain to answer such sensitive question.” the blonde said as her arms crossed and checked her finger nails “I wish I can make a potion that can make me taller...” the blonde sighed

“Have you ever heard the word ‘Milk'?” the psychologist said sarcastically

“That doesn't works on me... Just a white potion full of false hopes.” Taeyeon claimed

“Okay, so why are you here?” the psychologist asked

 

 

Taeyeon pointed over her parents who was outside the room. The psychologist stood up and called the parent’s attention.

 

“Oh, Mr and Mrs. Kim?” the psychologist said “Please come inside...”

“Have a seat.” the psychologist made them sit beside Taeyeon.

“So, what’s wrong with Taeyeon? She seems to be...ah... normal?” the psychologist said “Except with the height of course.” the psychologist joked and Taeyeon glared at her

“Doctor, please help our daughter! We beg you... We’re willing to pay lots of money. Just treat her.”

“Mom, I told you. There’s nothing wrong with me!” Taeyeon defensed herself

“What’s wrong with her?”

“I think our child has gone crazy!”

“Dad!... I’m not crazy. I’m a wizard and that’s true!”

 

“Oh, God.” the psychologist almost chuckled “I guess you watched too much uhm...Harry Potter.” the psychologist wrote down something on a piece of paper as she documented the case “Okay, go on...Tell me something I don’t know.” the psychologist listened more to Taeyeon’s parents

 

“Taeyeon here claimed that she turned her classmate Taeyang into a lizard...”

 

 

 

----

 

‘Taeyeon, what’s that you’re holding?” asked her seatmate Taeyang who’s looking at the green liquid inside a tube that Taeyeon was holding.

“It’s a potion I invented las night... Everyone who drinks this will be a lizard.” Taeyeon explained

“You’re bluffing!” Taeyang chuckled

“I am not!”

 

“Fine, I’m going to drink that!” Taeyang stole the tube to Taeyeon

 

“No! That’s a very dangerous po...” Taeyang gulped it all and smiled at her

 

“Let’s see if I turned into a lizard later on.”

 

 

 

 

On the next day, Taeyang was absent so Taeyeon approached her teacher in panic.

 

“Ma’am Jung! I know why Taeyang is absent.” Taeyeon confessed

“Okay, why?”

“I accidentally turned him into a lizard!” Taeyeon said nervously

 

Her teacher laughed at her and so as her classmates.

 

“Weird Taeyeon!”

“You fool!”

 

The class chanted

 

“Quiet!” Miss Jung ordered ‘Miss Kim, I suggest you study your lessons instead of fantasizing about things.” she advised

 

 


After a week, Taeyang has not yet been going to school so Miss Jung and her classmates were starting to wonder about it.

 

“Did you really turned Taeyang into a lizard?” asked Sunny, the girl who sat in front of Taeyeon

“Yes.” Taeyeon answered

 

The class started to get an eerie feeling until the teacher called the roll call.

 

“Lee Sunny”

“Present!”

“Im Yoona”

“Present and gorgeous ma’am!” the doe eyed girl happily cheered

“Kwon Yuri”

“P-Present!” a tanned girl said nervously

“Present and dark!” A boy named Taemin teased the tanned girl

 

“Taemin, quiet or I’ll send you to detention for bullying.” Miss Jung warned the boy and the tanned girl blushed because her crush slash teacher defended her.

 

 

The tanned girl was holding a pink liquid tube on her hands given by Taeyeon a while ago as she remembered Taeyeon said “Use this love potion and Miss Jung will fall in love with you!”

The tanned girl shrugged the thought and kept the tube in her pocket.

 

 

“Krystal”

“Present...” a pale girl said coldly

“Present and icy!” a boyish girl named Amber teased and the class roared into laughter and went silent when Krystal glared at them.

“Taeyeon”

“Present and weird!”

 

And the class roared into laughter again

 

“Present ma’am” Taeyeon said

 

And everyone went silent as they waited for the next name.

 

“Taeyang”

 

And a lizard dropped down from the ceiling to Taeyang's chair.

 

“OMO OMO !...A LIZARD FELL ON TAEYANG'S CHAIR!” one of the student pointed out

 

“AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!”

 

 

“SCRAM YOUR BUTTS OUT AND SAVE YOUR LIVES!”

 

 

And with that, everyone on the class ran outside and was petrified by Taeyeon. Taeyeon has been tagged as a dangerous creepy kid in the class. The teacher informed Taeyeon’s parents about what happened and finally, Taeyeon’s parents had decided to send Taeyeon into a psychotic ward for a treatment in a hope of her being normal again.

.

The psychologist laughed amusedly and looked at Taeyeon.

 

“So, Taeyeon. Tell me... How did you became a wizard?” the psychologist asked

“My friend taught me...”

“Who’s your friend?”

“Bing Bong” Taeyeon answered happily

 

The psychologist wrote down something on her paper ‘Imaginary friend’

 

“What do you and Bing Bong usually do?”

“He takes me to dreamland every night and he taught me wizardy and we make objects float and turned mouses into cats.” Taeyeon chuckled

‘Mixing dreams to reality’ the psychologist wrote down ‘Can tell the dream in detailed manner’

“Do you do wizardy even in days?”

“Yes, sometimes at school I will stare at the window and Bing bong was there to cheer me up.”

‘Day dreams a lot... Over active imagination’ the psychologist written down

 

 

“What’s wrong with our child doctor?”

 

 

“She has FPP or Fantasy Prone Personality. She tends to have a difficulty differentiating fantasies and realities. She has a highly over active imaginative thoughts. These triggers to hallucinations and it mixed with her real world.” the psychologist said

 

 

“What shall we do to help her change?”

“Well, did Taeyeon grew up always alone?”

“My wife and I have our jobs so Taeyeon was always alone with her nanny. She must watched a lot of magical movies.” Taeyeon’s father said

 

 

“Taeyeon must felt lonely so she developed an imaginary friend on her mind and live on her own world. We can treat her by making her stay here in the ward and interact with people around here. I also recommend Taeyeon to join the activities here and to be highly active on our programs so that she will have a glimpsed of reality and become more aware of people and her surroundings.” the psychologist explained

 

 

“Thank you doctor... I hope yo take care of our daughter.”

“Sure, I will.” the psychologist pats Taeyeon’s head and Taeyeon pouted in defeat. She will stay in the ward and rehabilitate there whether she likes it or not.

“What’s your name doctor?”

 

 

“My name is doctor Hwang...Tiffany Hwang.”

 

 

 

-----

Tiffany thought this case is amusing. A simple one yet so weird. She didn’t see any sign of being violent on Taeyeon unlike the other previous case she handled. She’s handling a case of a dreamer... And now, all she need is to wake Taeyeon up and her case will be solved.

She was observing Taeyeon for a week now due to the lizard story that had been told to her. Although Taeyeon seems to be harmless, she needs to double checked on her conclusion and check of any other symptoms present on Taeyeon.

She observed that Taeyeon talks a lot with herself and Taeyeon seems to be isolated and anti social. Maybe, the main reason why she decided to create a world of her own. Tiffany created an hypothesis and wrote it down on her paper.

People with FPP cases tends to be immense with their fantasies and day dreaming due to the fact that the do not want to do what they fear in real life. Tiffany decided to make final assessment on what she shall do to Taeyeon to cure her personality.

 

 

“Tell me Taeyeon, what is the most memorable moment that happened in your life?”

“Hmmm... When I became a wizard!”

 

Tiffany almost face palmed herself but continued with the interview anyway.

 

“Why did you chose to be a wizard?”

“When I became a wizard, I feel so strong and I can help people with their problems.” Taeyeon said

“In what capacity of help?”

 

“I have a classmate, her name is Kwon Yuri. She's so quiet and reserved hat's why my classmates tends to bully her. I want to help her. She has a crush with our teacher Miss Jung. I gave her the love potion.”

 

“Love potion?” the psychologist roared into laughter “Oh my God! Hahaha... Okay, okay.” the psychologist chuckled

“It's true! I created one last night...” Taeyeon showed her a tube with pink liquid on her pocket “Problems solved for unrequited.” Taeyeon said

“I thought wizards cast spells?”

“We also make potions!”

“Have you ever been unrequited before?” the psychologist asked

 

Taeyeon kept shut and looked down. Tiffany wrote on her paper ‘Fear of rejection’

 

“What are you most afraid of or things you hate?”

“I have fear of heights...”

“Oh, no wonder you never grown.” the psychologist chuckled

“I hate red heads and eyeless people.” Taeyeon glared at the psychologist

“Too bad, you’re going to stick around me for a long time... “ the psychologist continued with her interrogations “Why are you afraid of heights?”

 

“I'm afraid...I might fall.” Taeyeon said

What else?”

“I hate crowded rooms...I feel like suffocating. I hate running...It’s tiring. I hate snakes too... It’s evil.”

 

“Okay, we re going to do all that.”

 

‘Wait, WHAT?”

 

 

 

----

 

Tiffany planned out that has to do everything she’s afraid of to be cured and welcome reality in her life.

 

 

First step: Bring Taeyeon to a crowded place.

 

THE MARKET

 

 

“W-Why are we even h-here? There s-so many people around here!” Taeyeon panicked and whispered to Tiffany's ear as she covered her face and blushed

“Why are you covering your face?”

“They might see me, that's why.”

“Dumbo, they can see you no matter what you do!” Tiffany chuckled “Don’t hide your face... C’mon.” Tiffany encouraged to remove Taeyeon’s hand on her own face.

“I don’t want to!”

 

“Taeyeon, there’s nothing to be embarass about yourself... You’re beautiful.” the psychologist gives out her eyesmile as Taeyeon peeks through open spaces between her fingers

 

“R-Really?” Taeyeon blushed

“Yeah.. So, let’s go and shop?”

“C-Can I...I-I mean” Taeyeon gestured over Tiffany’s arms

 

“Okay, you can hold me if you want to. You must be afraid to be lost either.” Tiffany reached for Taeyeon’s hand and put it on her arms. “Let’s go...

 

 

After a minute of walking...

 

“There's too many people, I cannot breathe!” Taeyeon complained as she struggled to breathe

“Relax...Breathe in...Breathe out...” Tiffany instructed “You’re going to be alright.” Tiffany held her closely as they mixed themselves along the sea of people.

 

Taeyeon could swear that among the sea of people around them... All she can see is her doctor and she can’t understand why.

 

“How do you feel?” the doctor asked after their trip to the market

“It feels uncomfortable.” Taeyeon said

 

“That's the main goal... Bring you out to your comfort zone.” the doctor smiled at her as they walked hand in hand on the way to the ward

 

“I do not want to go out my comfort zone!” Taeyeon pouted

 

 

 

On Taeyeon’s room she got her magic wand and watched Tiffany talks to another crew in the ward. She saw the crew gave Tiffany chocolate candies and she was suddenly desperately craving for o

Chapter 52: Ang Ganda! Sobrang meaningful ng story! 🥹
I like the way how you tackle a sensitive topic like this. No judgements. Understanding and acceptance ...🥹
This is my favorite line "Who knew that her dreams could wake her life up".
Lastly, I like the song Almost, it fits their love story (when they haven't found each other yet!).
