Invisible

Prologue

"Please don't leave me."

"Goodbye, Koeun."

"Please don't.. I'm begging you, please stay."

"Thank you.. for everything."

"NO!"

Oh, it was another dream, a bad one if I may add. But a familiar dream, like the ones I had in the past weeks.

Who is that guy? How does he know my name? Why is he always appearing in my dreams? And why is he saying goodbye? Why is he thanking me? And why... am I stopping him?

I opened my small fridge next to my bedside and drank a bottled water to calm myself. I inhaled and exhaled for a good 2 minutes until I can finally think straight again.

I closed my eyes and tried to re-live my dream. Trying so hard to picture his face again.

He looked so happy and sad at the same time. He is smiling while talking to me but his eyes were so hurt and filled with regret.

Whoho are you? And why do you keep appearing in my dreams?

I opened my eyes and I saw him in front of me. Looking worried?

I moved back a little as I was frightened. I tried to find the light switch at my wall until I finally switched it on and no one was there.

I'm seeing things now, great.

I inhaled again and touched my chest, massaging it to calm my now fast-paced heartbeat.

When I was calmed, I saw the time and it was almost 5AM. I decided to just stand up and prepare for another day at work.

I can't sleep anyways so might as well just go with it.

When I'm finally finished, I tied my bob-cut hair into a half bun and wore a lipbalm that is a light pink color so that it hides my paleness.

I wore my earphones and blasted a loud music, mostly Super Junior, and grabbed my backpack.

I was about to take off and locked the door when I heard a faint sound. I removed my earphone and looked around, waited for a minute but nothing, I wore an earpiece on my left ear and sighed, closed the door as I locked it and walked my way.

"Take care."

I looked back and stopped, looked around and examine my apartment to only see nothing, or no one.

But I swear I heard someone. Or am I hearing things too?

"Eun-ah, Ko Eun. Get a hold of yourself, eo?" I said to myself as I lightly tapped both my cheeks before proceeding to walk to my work.
