7 The morning on the day of interview...

It's the day-28, early morning at 6:00.

Everyone in Mium is still in their sleep.

Shin was also sleeping soundly until now.

[In Shin's dream:

Unknown Man(face isn't clear): Leave me now, or else you will face consequences...

Man(in a suit his face isn't clear): Ohh.. is it... I'll face consequences if you are alive and who said, you are going to live.

Unknown Pregnant Woman(screaming): Nooooo...

Unknown Man(holding the man in the suit not to let him make his move and telling to the pregnant woman): Take our daughter and go away...

Man(in suit pointing the gun at the unknown Man): You can't fight with me. Here, now face your consequences for coming against me.

The Man shoots the unknown Man in the chest, the unknown man is struggling for his life ... By seeing this the pregnant woman screamed and their 5-year-old girl stood there in shock by seeing her dad with blood and struggling for his life. The man pointed the gun at the pregnant woman. By seeing that the pregnant woman shouted at her daughter.

Pregnant woman (shouting to her daughter): Go away, get out from here... RUNNNNNN.

The Man in suit shot the pregnant woman at her temple and she died on spot. The 5year old daughter ran out of the house crying screaming 'MOM...DAD' and was hiding behind a tree in front of her house and saw her house burnt along with her parents inside .]

Shin startled from that dream with sweat all over her face when she saw the clock it was 6 in the morning. What Shin doesn't know was she was screaming in her dream. She couldn't sleep anymore her pupils were dilated, and heartbeat raised, she was gasping for air. After she became normal she went into the bathroom opened the tap and splashed water on her face to gain full conscious and took shower to get ready for her interview.

She was wearing blue formal pants with a white shirt, blue blazer, and blue tie with white cross strips along with a high ponytail and black belt, blue socks, and black formal shoes, when she took a look at herself in the mirror, she was looking perfect for her interview. She ate bread and jam for her breakfast and took a file and kept all her certificates in it.

Shin normally has a habit of talking to herself whenever she gets stressed or depressed or when she wants to make a decision. She had this habit since she was a child. Whenever she talks to herself she calls it IV(inner voice). She talks to herself as if she talking to some person in front of her.

If anyone sees her when she was talking to IV, they will for sure think that shin has some kind of brain disorder or schizophrenia, she always made sure no one was watching her when she was talking to IV. People who are close to her are the only ones who know about this.

Shin(talking to her inner voice): IV I'm scared and today I had this nightmare again, I think it will never leave me. What if due to this I won't get selected and what if they know my past and about Frank. They will not recruit me.

IV(inner voice): Shin, don't worry. We will succeed. Take a deep breath and let the bad mood go.

Shin takes a deep breath to remove her stress about the nightmare and interview.

Shin(feeling a bit relaxed): Thanks IV...

IV: You aren't relaxed yet aren't you. Look at your room it will make you change your mind.

Since she woke up from a nightmare she was in so hurry to fresh up so that the thought of the nightmare can go away and she hadn't looked at her room properly.

Shin(with a small smile by making up her mood while looking at her room): haaa. IV you sure know how to make me smile.

IV: of course I know, you know why?. It's because I'm you...

Shin smiled and forgot about the nightmare. Talking to herself(IV) makes her forget bad things and her room which she designed by herself always helps her to relax.

Shin's room is decorated with a lot of indoor plants as she loved nature very much. And her room is full of antique stuff. 19th-century radios, satellite phones, etc. Shin has a habit of collecting antique electronic devices from the beginning, so she buys them wherever she can find those things. In short, her room is a combo of vintage and modern style. The walls were covered with neutral colors. Surrounded by the things she loves helps to distract her mind from nightmares at least that's what her psychiatrist suggested.

Making her mood good she called Elizabeth...It was 6:45 when she called Elizabeth.

Elizabeth(with sleepy voice): Hello!! Shin, you woke up early again...

Shin: Yeah. It's just I had that nightmare again.

Elizabeth(with concern in her voice): Again. It's the 5th time in the same week. You should tell all this to your psychiatrist.

Shin: Yeah, I know, I've got an appointment tomorrow don't you remember???

Elizabeth: Yes, I do remember that. Did you take the medicine??? Just take care of yourself.

Shin: Yes I took the medicine. You know you worry about me way too much.

Elizabeth (with a small smile): I know can't stop that though.

Shin(rolling her eyes with a smile): Mad human...

Elizabeth: I know I'm mad. No need to remind me of that. By the way at what time do you have the interview???

Shin: Around 10 in the morning. I hope it ends soon.

Elizabeth: Yeah me too. Shall I pick you up???

Shin: Don't you have work today???

Elizabeth(with a cheesy voice): I took a day off, to prepare your favorite dinner and to spend the night with you.

Shin(rolled her eyes): Oh god, El... Again you are testing your flirting skills on me. Try them on your husband. Stop teasing me already???

Elizabeth (with a smile): Awww... You got me. It's just Jacob's out of town with some office work. So I thought of improving my skills and try them when he returns.

Shin(rolling her eyes): something never changes right.???

Elizabeth: As you can see never... Hahaha...

They spoke and spoke and spoke. Elizabeth was teasing Shin and Shin was sulking at her tease. When Shin checked the time it was almost 9.

Shin gaped as she thought she spoke for almost 2 hours with El. When shin is in a bad mood or tension, she calls or talks to Elizabeth. Talking to her makes Shin feel relaxed and that talk lasts way too long.

Shin(cutting out Elizabeth on phone): El... It's time I should go... I'll see you for dinner, don't cook non-vegetarian, please...

Elizabeth: Alright. I won't... Now go. I won't say 'all the best' and other things, I know you don't like all that stuff. Byeeee...

Shin: You know me too well. Okkay I'll talk to you later. Bye-bye...

Shin ended the call and left her apartment to attend the interview...
