Sleep talking
Maybe Next time We'll Meet Again
The Lee Si Yun that was suffering no longer exists now, its just the cheerful Kim Minhee now.
I slapped my face two times to forget about the past.
" Minnie, here take this" said Chen as he gave me a water bottle and a pill.
I swallowed the pill and drank the water. I didn't bother to ask Chen what it was, I was already familiar to it.
"Did I scream again?"
"yeah, you were kicking too" said Chen
I hope I didn't cause a ruckus
" Hey Minnie, how many languages can you speak?" asked Tao
" uh, four why?"
"four? That's awesome! What can you speak?" asked Tao
"umm, I can speak Korean, English, Cantonese and Mandarin. Although I consider Cantonese and mandarin as just Chinese "
" Minnie, Kris speaks those languages too." says Tao
" really?"
" yuup,you guys also have the same habit too" said Tao
"like what?"
" Chen you say it, since Kris is your roommate" said Tao
The truth is Tao doesn't want Kris to snap at him for revealing his habit so he just told Chen to say it
" oh yeah, you both dream talk; but when you do you guys speak in different languages" answered Chen
"are you serious? I never knew I talk in other languages when I dream. Oppa ,how come you never tell me that?"
"I guess I just forgot and I never knew what you were talking about" said Chen
" okay then..."
"it's getting late, I'm ganna go to sleep" said Chen
" Arasso"
I turned around and closed my eyes
So kris speaks the same languages as me eh.
Sooner or later people will find out too and question how I learned them.
I'm supposed to be Chen's sister and I am supposedly Korean.
How on earth does a korean girl know Cantonese?
I mean people would guess that I learned English in school and mandarin during trainee days, but Cantonese? It's kind of weird.
I've got to think of an excuse, but what?
Suddenly I felt someones hands on my shoulders.
I turned and saw Tao; he was massaging my shoulders.
" Oh did I wake you up " asked Tao
"...oh no, but why are you massaging my shoulders ?"
" you look like you needed one" said Tao as he continued to massage my shoulder
'you looked like you were in pain, when you were suffering all I could do was watch while Kris comforted you. I wanted to help you instead of Kris, if he can comfort you I can too' thought Tao
I soon fell asleep but instead of bad memories, I had a good dream instead.
I dreamt of my parents, they were smiling and their arms were open waiting for me to run to them.
I also saw my best friend Barom and our dance crew holding a trophy from a dance competition. Everything felt so surreal, it was too good to be true.
Tears escaped from my eyes but this time it was tears of joy.
Lay was wide awake and stared at me.
" This girl sure cries a lot " said Lay as he wiped my tears.
' she usually don't let her emotions get the best of her during our trainee period or at the company.
I wonder why she suddenly let loose?
Is it because we are going to China?
Maybe? I remember how it felt for me to leave China for Korea, maybe it's the same for her. Maybe she's home sick' thought Lay
- few hours later -
"Minhee, wake up. We're here" said Lay
"Minhee... 起來" said Kris
(get up)
Eh... Minhee?
I pulled my blanket up
Who's Minhee...
" YA! Kim Minhee Get yoh fat up, don't make us ditch you here" Kris screamed in English
Gosh, who's screaming?
Kris got impatient and yanked my blanket away from me.
I opened my eyes and realized they were talking about me.
Oh yeah, how can I forget. I'm Kim Minhee. I thought as I rolled my eyes
I grabbed my things and followed the rest of Exo-m out of the plane and into the airport.
" Ahh! finally home at last " said Luhan
Yeah, home at last. After 6 years I'm finally back in China. But I'm not really at home, I'm in Beijing right now and not Guangdong where I should be.
One day I'll be able to go back to Guangdong, but would I be able to find my family? Would they want me back?
