Chapter 22: The Nightmare (1/1)

**********************“APPA!! APPA!! WAKE UP!!WAKE UP!!” she shook his body, but still no answer. Eun Mi ran towards her mom. “EOMMA!! WAKE UP!! WAKE UP!! EOMMA!!” But there was no response too. She cried her heart out. Eun Mi saw blood all over the floor. She looked at her hand. Full of blood...BLOOD...Eun Mi gasped. She opened her eyes and looked around. She realized that she was still in her room. It was just a nightmare. She face palmed her face and breathed deeply. Her body was still trembling. Her pajama was soaked with cold sweat. The nightmare was so scary, as if she was there at that time. Or maybe she was.Then she heard someone opened the door. “Eun Mi, you already woke up? Are you feeling better now?” Auntie So Eun came in with a mug of hot chocolate. Eun Mi nodded and smiled faintly to her. Auntie So Eun took a seat beside her and gave her the drink.“Here, drink this. It might make you feeling better. Why are you sweating dear? Are you hot?” she asked. Eun Mi shook her head and took a sip of the hot chocolate. Somehow it made her feeling better, but her mind was still thinking about her nightmare just now.“Would you like to eat something? You must be hungry. Besides, Chen is waiting for downstairs. And Luhan is here too,” Auntie So Eun said. Eun Mi widened her eyes. ‘Why Luhan oppa is here?’ She thought to herself.Eun Mi walked down the stairs and she saw Luhan, Chen and Suho were discussing something in the living room their face looked intense and serious. They all stood up when they saw Eun Mi walked towards them.“Eun Mi, are you okay? Do you need anything?” Chen looked at her, worried. Eun Mi slowly shook her head and smiled faintly. She went and took a sit beside Chen. Auntie So Eun went to the kitchen to prepare Eun Mi’s dinner.‘What are you guys discussing about?’The three boys looked at each other, seemed hesitant to tell the truth. Chen finally broke the silence. “Actually Eun Mi, we were discussing about what happened to you. We don’t think this is the first time you got something from that mad guy... Are you hiding something from me?” Chen asked. His face was filled with anger, mixed together with worried and disappointment, because Eun Mi had hidden something from him.Eun Mi was stunned. ‘How did oppa know about that? Did the roses come with a card too? What does it say? What should I say to him?’ Eun Mi was talking inside her head. She was thinking to just keep everything as a secret from Chen, because for her it was just a small, trivial matter.Chen stared at his sister, waiting for an answer. But it seemed like she was thinking about something. “Eun Mi, answer me.” His tone became more serious. Eun Mi turned to him and gestured ‘Wait here,’ before she ran upstairs.A few minutes later, she came downstairs with 5 chocolate bars in her hand. She hesitantly gave the chocolates to Chen. Luhan and Suho also took a look at the cards attached to the chocolate. They took some time to read those cards before turned their eyes to Eun Mi.“What are these!? Why did you never tell me about it!?” Chen accidentally raised his voice when he asked the question. Eun Mi just looked down. She never dared to look at her brother’s face when he was mad.“Chen, give her a break. I bet she didn’t want to make you worried...” Luhan voiced out. Eun Mi was somehow relieved when she knew someone understood her. Chen sighed. He knew he had gone overboard, but he was still mad with the crazy guy.“Come, let’s get some drink from the kitchen,” Suho pulled Chen to the kitchen to calm him down. Before they left, Suho turned to Luhan and gave him a signal to calm Eun Mi down. Luhan nodded, understood. Finally, Luhan and Eun Mi were left alone in the living room. Eun Mi was still looking down, frozen.
