A patch of sunlight hits my eyelids, thus, breaking my sleep.
And then in an inexplicably fast moment, an abundance of memories rush through my mind.
Gunfight, cold concrete, the deathly feeling of loss, the confusion that followed; everything resurfaces. Solid, tangible memories that I could almost feel crawling upon my skin.
Just then a cool hand strokes lightly across my cheeks.
I shut my eyes harder. My mind is still in a muddle.
"Good Morning love. You can wake up now."
My eyes fluttered open. Ri Jeong Hyeok is sitting right beside my bed. Dressed in creamy white button down shirt, he looks god-sent.

"We are still alive, right? This is not a dream or some weird hallucination?" I ask, my brows furrowed in tension.
Ri Jeong Hyeok bends his face slightly and looks deep into my eyes.
"You are safe Se-Ri. I will never let anything happen to you." His chocolate brown eyes, dripping with love and compassion. I melt in his beautiful eyes...
"Tell me what happened. Everything. I want to know everything Ri Jeong Hyeok ssi."
"Yes my love. But first you need to eat otherwise you will pass-out again. And also there's someone I would like you to meet. She would be joining us soon, so get ready."
She? Who is this "she" and why is he speaking so fondly of her? I don't like her already.
But I don't say anything. His eyes still hold all the love in the world for me. I get up to start my day again. I will be patient. He will tell me everything shortly and I will then figure out this "she story."
I take a deep breath and get down from my huge white bed.
