[Cho KyuHyun’s POV]

HyunRi’s grip slid down to my wrists where it tightened slightly. I heard her strained sleepy voice mumble, “Umma, I miss you so much. Why did you have to choose to leave appa and me?”

She is talking in her sleep. Does this frequently happen to her?

As gently as possible, I shifted my weight so that I was sitting on the edge of the bed.

She continued in a pained voice, “Umma, why? Do you know that appa was so devastated by your actions? He was so depressed; for the first few weeks, he kept taking in alcohol. He took in so much to the extent that it once caused him to faint and he got sent to the hospital. Luckily the really kind doctor helped him; he sent him for counseling which helped put appa back on track. ”

My body stiffened and I bit my bottom lip as HyunRi continued to sleep-talk.

“I tried to be tough and move on; I fought back with the people who looked down on me, tried to show them that I could still live happily even without you. I even tried to forget you.” HyunRi paused for awhile before letting out a soft sob. “But umma, did you know how much your actions had caused an impact on me?”

HyunRi was crying in her sleep. I cupped my free hand over her hand.

“I had no one to draw a card for during Mother’s Day during Art and Crafts lesson.” HyunRi solemnly said. “I had to face puberty problems myself. I had to lie to my friends that my mother works in America as the best fashion designer ever.”

 I held her hand tighter as HyunRi’s sobs started to get louder and louder. Even though I could barely see her in the darkness, I could tell that whatever she was dreaming of in her sleep was causing her to be emotionally pained. It was hurting her too much; so much that I had to wake her up in order to end the agony she was suffering in.

I removed my right hand, but still allowed her to hold on to my left wrist, and reached for the bedside lamp. Switching it on, I could see what was going on under the dim light. HyunRi’s body was half-tucked under the blanket, her forehead was beaded with sweat and her cheeks were stained with tears.

The sight made my heart cringe in pain.

“HyunRi! HyunRi! Byul HyunRi!” My mother’s voice echoed in my head.

In my dream, I was with my mother in the park. I saw her in a distance and she was calling out my name to get my attention. Immediately, I ran towards her and started telling her how much I missed her. How much appa and I suffered after she left.

“HyunRi!” Umma’s voice strained with anxiety.

Yes, umma? I’m here. Can’t you see me? I’m standing right in front of you right now.

To my confusion, my mother continued to call out my name.

“HyunRi!” My body started to shake violently. “HyunRi-sshi!”

Wait, why is umma’s voice getting manlier and manlier? And why am I shaking so much?

All of a sudden, I let out a surprised gasp and my eyelids flipped open.

Warm-yellow lights flooded my blurred vision. I could see a faint silhouette of a human hovering above me. He appeared to have his hands gripped around each of my shoulders and was shaking them back and forth violently.

“HyunRi! You’re finally awake.” The blurred figure breathed out a sigh of relief.

Frowning in even more confusion, I blinked several times before my vision cleared.

“KyuHyun…?” I tiredly called out, still dazed from my dream.

KyuHyun stopped shaking me and leaned his face in to get a closer look at me. Once confirmed that I was awake, he leaned back up and heaved another a sigh of relieve.

I pushed myself up slowly, “What happened? Why are you here?”

“Initially, I came in to get my jacket. But, I found you… crying in your sleep.” He awkwardly replied.

I bit my bottom lip and looked the other direction. Did I just expose my weakest self to KyuHyun?

“HyunRi,” KyuHyun seriously said. “I heard what you said in your dream. Y-you’re… still upset, aren’t you?”

“You heard it all, didn’t you?” I asked with my head down.

KyuHyun was silent.

“I’m really weak, aren’t I?” I mumbled, shutting my eyes in defeat. “I can’t even get over that incident.” The thought of it made my eyes sting again, tears threatened to slip out from underneath my eyelids. My fists clenched and I bit my lip, “How I wished that I was stronger.”

I felt a warm sensation against my chin. I parted my eyelids slightly and found KyuHyun’s sleek fingers underneath my chin and he lifted it really gently.

I found myself directly facing KyuHyun; his eyes were filled with understanding and sincerity. As if he could really feel my pain. The way he looked into my eyes, was as if he could see right into my soul. Without warning, he leaned forward and I froze. I could feel his warm breath on my forehead, where he hesitated for a bit, before pressing his lips onto my forehead.

Seconds later, he pulled away. His face was in a light shade of pink while I could feel heat rush to my cheeks. We couldn’t quite meet each others’ eyes.

“I…” KyuHyun awkwardly ran a hand through his brown hair. “Sleep tight, we’ll have to leave in three more hours.”

With that, KyuHyun scrambled off the bed and went out of the room.

After KyuHyun left, I laid back down onto the bed.

Unconsciously, my right hand touched my forehead, feeling the place where he had kissed me. My left hand was placed against my chest, feeling my heartbeat slow down. Undeniably, my heart was racing really quickly just now.

Taking several greedy lung-full of air and with pure determination, I decided that I was going to completely get over the fact that umma had left me. Whether I liked it or not, I was going to do it. I had appa, Jas, Cera and…maybe even KyuHyun. So what was there to lose?

I was about to drift back to sleep when from the corner of my eye, I spotted a white and red jacket.

[Cho KyuHyun’s POV]

“Hello there sofa, it’s me, KyuHyun, again.” I mumbled as I crawled back onto the living room sofa. I curled into a ball and rubbed my bare arms. “Tell me, why did I not remember to bring my jacket out with me just now?”

I sighed before drifting uncomfortably to sleep.
