The Dark Truth

"Oh no... I'm gonna be late for my first day of university!", I jumped out of my bed as I checked the time. It felt like a dream to live a normal life. I could never imagine that this beautiful dream would have ever come true. I moved to Seoul after my graduation in Busan. On my way to Seoul, I had many thoughts, whether I would be able to overcome my fear, whether I would be able to make friends or whether I would be able to lead a normal life. It was my birthday when I moved to Seoul. Finally, I was twenty-one years old. My apartment was quite a comfortable one, not big or expensive yet a small and cute one. A perfect place, a university student could afford. It was on the second floor. To add a plus point, the neighbourhood was also very friendly and peaceful. It was just like my dream apartment that I had ever wished for. "What time is it? I hope I don't miss the bus.", I murmured to myself while running towards the bus stop. It was a beautiful morning which would've been more wo

"Seo-yeon Lee! Where are you?! Seo-yeon! Please, answer me!", I turned around to follow the sound only to find darkness surrounding me from everywhere. "Where am I? Who is calling me? Why is this place so scary and dark?", I murmured to myself. " Seo-yeon Lee!", I heard the same deep voice."Why can't I move my body? I'm scared. Wait a minute, this sound, it sounds familiar. Very much familiar. Is it that boy named Ryung Gwan's voice?", I inquired as I tried my best to follow the sound. "Ahh!", I shouted as I fell from my bed. "Ouch.. huh? Where am I?", I inquired as I was scanning my room. "Ah right, I'm in my room. The same dream again. Wait a minute, what time is it?!", I exclaimed as I carelessly ran out of my room to get ready for the university. After an hour, I, fortunately, boarded the bus and entered the university. It had been the past few weeks since I started going to this university. At first, it felt awkw

"I'm alright now, so please don't cry.", Ryung comforted me while wiping my tears off. It was my first time looking at him behaving in such a sweet and comforting manner. It felt really warm and safe. Where did the rude and selfish boy vanish to? When did he transform into such a cute and caring young man? My face was burning like a burner as our faces were only some inches apart. "Who's crying here?", I recklessly changed the topic as I went apart from him and turned my face on the other side. "Ryung Gwan, please wake up. I'll do whatever you would tell me to. I'll even do the project all by myself. Woo~ woo~, who was the one who was just now crying like a little child and being begging me to wake up? Also didn't you say you'll do whatever I tell you to if I manage to wake up?", he pointed at me as my eyes were still filled with tears and a little bit red like a tomato while taunting me. "Who told you that I was cryi

I slowly opened my eyes as I felt something cold on my forehead. It was Nabi.  She had put a small white towel on my forehead. After our short counselling which ended on a cut edge, I rushed towards my room and soon fell asleep.  "What are you doing in my room?", I asked her.  "Finally, you woke up. You little! Do you know how much worried I was.  I was worried about what you were doing in your room till noon, so I came here to check on you but then I saw you were sweating hard.  Also, you had a high fever, so I had to put this towel on your forehead to cool you up.”, She replied. &n
