2 The confession.

"What were you doing outside the doors of the school?" he eyes of suspicion, wonder and authority shroud the whole room with gloom.

I try not to breathe that much as not to anger him even more. Looking around, I see everything in a very tidy and organized manner. The files are stacked in order of size, the furniture placed deliberately in the places that they have been allocated to and the atmosphere is-

"Miss Park!" The teacher growls.

"Y-Yes sir. I apologize for spacing out on your question but I was admiring your office." I say.

"Miss Park. Flattery will get you nowhere, especially not here. So, I ask you again, what where you doing outside the doors of the school?" He presses on.

"I ran to school…and I thought I would get here on time but, it looks like I didn't…and then I saw someone else on the school grounds – I think…" I space out once more.

The teacher sighs.

"If you had been already a student attending Maeum Academy, I would have severely punished you but since you're new I'll give you a warning. Make sure you're in school by 7: 15 AM. At the latest. Understand?"

I nod, hardly believing that he was giving me a second chance.

"Anyway, here is your timetable. You shall go to our English lesson in room 6-B in approximately 2 minutes. The rest of the classes will be guided to by other pupils and staff. I hope you have a nice 2 years of school. You may go now."

I slowly pivot on my heel and wobble to the exit of the room. When I close the door, I exhale greatly, releasing the heat I've held inside for the last 3 minutes or so.

Feeling the paper in my hand crinkle, I peer at the lessons I have to survive through today: English, Maths, Science, Information Technology, Dance and Physical Education.

I grimace with distaste. Why did I even come to school today?

Walking aimlessly down the corridor, I come across a badge. I pick it up carefully and examine the features. It's not overly special in any way. A slight heaviness and some fake diamonds, that's all. I wonder why I keep picking things like this. Maybe I should throw it awa-

"I've got only one love in my life and that love is for my dog." A deep voice speaks.

"You know, there are millions of girls who would love to go out with you and dedicate their soul on marrying…" Another replies.

"I know…and the ARMY fandom is growing too large. How do you expect me to choose just one?"

"ARMY?!" My head turns abruptly to the two people that have been having their one-to-one conversation. I find that they are just metres away from where I am standing, foolishly looking at them as if they're aliens. Well, I have to say that they are damn good-looking aliens indeed and one pair of seven different aliens I didn't want to meet just yet.

"Y-You - *gulp* - Y-You are…" My mouth is too dry to produce the words I am trying to form and my heart is pounding half the times faster than a few minutes ago. Feeling the stares intense towards my direction, I let my body give way to the cold and lonely concrete which seems to be the only thing that mirrors my feelings, right now, with perfection.

A dream. A day dream. A day dream that doesn't seem to be coming true. It's on repeat, like a broken record, and I don't know how to fix it. Will it let me fulfill its needs? Or will I have to keep on day dreaming again and again? Well, it's just a day dream away so, if I dream really hard, I may achieve it…

I open my eyes. Everything is still in time. No noise, no voice, no movement, no feelings. I smell this slightly suffocating scent that reminds me of the dentist's practice I used to go to but I know I am still in school as there are posters and signs encased with the school's popular logo.

A door creaks open. The first sound. I turn to the direction of the creak and see, who I think is, the school's Infirmary doctor.

"Hello Miss. Are you feeling better now?" The doctor inquires with kindness.

"I am. Thank you uh…"

"Dr. Minseok." The doctor replies.

"Thank you Dr. Minseok." I say while climbing out of the medical bed.

"Are you sure that you're not severely injured in any way or form?" Dr. Minseok asks again.

"Yes, I am sure." I smile.

I walk out of the Infirmary to the hallway.

The quiet makes it unbearable to stand in. I glance at my watch and discover it's my favorite time of the school day that I always enjoy waiting for – Lunch.

I speed walk my way, or any way, to the diner I've been dying to go to.

After speeding what feels like hours trying to find the school's cafeteria, I hear voices coming from behind a pair of doors. Tiptoeing with heavy grace, I try to look at the other end of the key hole but sadly and unfortunately, no light can be seen by my curious eye.

Glancing around, I place my flimsy limb of a hand on the golden handles. Suddenly, the water from my body starts to overflow out of my body rapidly and the vibration of my skin increases steadily until I look like a human jelly.

What if this isn't the diner? What if this I a restricted section of Maeum that I'm not supposed to enter? Or the staff room that many students talk about?

Barely wanting to look, I push the doors open, unaware to the fact there was someone who had called out to me.

Darkness. An abyss of nothingness. No light, no sound, no anything. It's a bit overwhelming. Maybe I shouldn't have opened the door. Maybe I should have stayed at the Infirmary and spent my first day of High School asleep. There are so many alternatives to choose from, so many paths that may fit me better. Maybe-

"Stop!" A voice echoes.

I twirl round to the person and see the solution to my answer. The miracle I've been waiting to appear. He's just the one that could change my life and I mean REALLY change it.

I could always wake up next to him, I could brush his fluffy, black hair, we could cook meals together and we could have fun with friends when they are present. Life could be perfect.

"Please come here." His masculine voice hovers to me in the dark.

"Why?" I reply, looking down on the dark floor.

"I'm just an average girl. One in a million. Indistinguishable to the rest. A rock in a pile of gems…"

"We've been looking for you…Especially me. Your brother, Jimin, won't approve of you joining the Bangtan Sonyeodan group but I believe in you…I-…I love you."

I don't have the mind-set to say 'Hey! You stole my line' because the only thing that seems to be working is my heart and it's not a day dream away anymore because my dream has come true.
