Half-asleep
It's Complicated
Han Mi-na's POV:
“What time is your class today?”—what woke me up today again, like those every other morning. “Later at 1:30.” I replied half asleep. People in our house seem to not care if they are disturbing people in their sleep. Well I guess it’s different for me since I’m the only one who wakes up late while everyone wakes up early. As I try to go back to my sleep, the noise my family is making becomes unbearable. I give up on sleeping soon and wait until I find the strength to get out of bed. I let my mind drift away from reality and imagine those things that are only meant for dreams. I can see the sunlight passing through the thin curtains as I try to cover my face with my pillow to not get it through my eyes. I can hear the birds chirping as the memory of what happened last Friday night replayed in my head.
I stood up and followed Jaejin as he makes his way to his car. We were a few steps away from others as I found myself looking left and right, wondering if anyone would ride with him. He looked back and he seemed to notice. Out of nowhere, he called out Seunghyun.
“Ya! Seunghyun!” Jaejin called out and Seunghyun looked at us. Jaejin signaled Seunghyun to ask and he asked the others to wait for him as he went towards us.
“What is it Jaejin-hyung?” He asked.
“I’ll take you home instead.” Jaejin said.
“Eh? Why? But my house is out of the way.” Seunghyun was confused. I as well, but I stood there looking at them both stupidly.
“I just want to drive a bit, so just come.” Seunghyun then signaled to the others that he was going with us. Seunghyun was sitted infront and I was sitted at the back. it was pretty quiet at first, then Seunghyun started talking at least to make us all less sleepy. “So, Han Mi-na what do you think of our performance?”
“I think you guys are pretty good.” I was sleepy so I don’t know if I sounded convincing.
“Eh, really. Is that so…” then there’s a long pause, I guess I didn’t sound convincing all right.
“So Jaejin and you are friends right? How come I saw you just now? And you’re friends with Jonghun-hyun too.” The first one was clearly a question, the second one was however, a statement. I don’t know how to answer this so I just said, “Ah.. yeah.. been quite busy lately.”-was all I manage to say then I fell doze off.
The next part I’m not sure if it was a dream or reality. I was half-asleep so I don’t know. I heard Seunghyun and Jaejin talking, and it was about me and Choi Jonghun. I’m not sure of what I heard but it’s something like, “…so why do you want to take me home instead?” I heard Seunghyun nagging Jaejin. There was a pause, then Jaejin spoke. “Jonghun-hyun likes her..” Again a pause, Seunghyun cannot seem to follow what Jaejin meant. “Soooooo?”
“I can’t be alone with her.” There was a long pause again. “…she used to be in love with me.” This time Seunghyun did not push any further. Then the next thing I know, Seunghyun was waking me up and I staggered back and forth as I walk myself through the gate.
“Just cook your lunch we’re going to leave now.” My mom yells from outside, removing me entirely from the flashback going on inside my head. I closed my eyes for a few more moments thinking of nothing and then got up form bed and continue with my reality. As usual, breakfast is ready and so is my coffee. I ate my meal, and decided to play some games in my laptop to kill some time before school. Before I know it, time passed so quickly if I don’t move now I’ll be late. So I try to take a bath quicker from the usual but only to realize that I fail to do so. So I had to move faster in putting on my uniform and fixing my things, no time for drying my hair or even bother to look at the mirror. Then my phone suddenly rang, and it says Choi Jonghun.
