ONE STITCH, TWO STITCH, DOUBLE STITCH.

Being at the park again wasn't a surprise for him. His siblings loved to go anytime they got the chance. For him, he liked to stay inside wrapped in a blanket while watching a k-drama. He sighed and looked to his left. A bush with thorns as it seemed to twitch it's long thorny fingers at him, taunting him to touch them.

[Name] had enough nightmares, but they weren't about thorny bushes.  His dreams used to be filled with the usual stuff: falling to the ground till he woke up with a fright. Sohyun chasing him down for eating her snacks.  At a sneaker meetup to only find out they were trading waffles instead.
