dream soft

part 1

I woke up in an unknown house, not knowing why I was here or how I got here. I quietly stood up and looked around. The room was pretty. I saw a window to my left and noticed that I was in the 2nd floor. Assuming I was kidnapped a thought crossed my mind: "I could jump out of the window and escape. It should hurt only a bit if I made a roll right after I landed." That's when I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I panically opened the window when a woman came into the room. Her pretty face showed confusion as I slowly tried to climb onto the window bench. "What are you doing Hyejin?", the woman asked, still looking as if she was the one that just woke up in an unknown house, "Why are you climbing on that window bench?". OK first of all, who the fuck is Hyejin and why is that woman calling me that? "You know Ma'am I just don't like being kidnapped... If you understand what I mean.", I tried to answer as cool as I could. The woman sighed: "Everyday you react differently... Honey, I'm your mother. Sit down, I'll explain." Now I was the one that probably looked like one of the zoo animals, when you put a doll made of food in front of their face. Confused but kind of curious. I slowly walked towards her and sat on the bed. My "mother" gave me a book. It looked like the cover was handmade, many stickers decorated it and in pink, glitter-glue letters it said 'My Memories'. I slowly opened the book. On the first page I saw a picture of a pretty girl, probably around 12 years old, brightly smiling. She looked similar to the woman next to me. Was that me? Under the picture was a little handwritten text.

This is me. I was born at the 7th January 2001.

"It's 2017.", the woman said. That would mean this girl is now 16.

I'll make it short since my mother said I'm not that of a good thinker. OK, so every person has a disease. For me its Amnesia, that thing when you forget stuff and I kind of forgot my whole life. Sucks to be me. The point is, when you kiss your soulmate that disease disappears. On the following pages will be pictures of people I need to recognize and pictures of the people I kissed. I can tell myself that it wasn't my childhood friend Jundeok because mom told me I kissed him in primary school and the doctors said my disease wouldn't even appear if he would be my soulmate. But since I'm reading this right now... I could kiss through the whole world to get rid of my Amnesia but wouldn't that be boring? Alright. I'll wake up every morning and won't remember shit. Good Luck, me.

"What the hell?", I asked the woman even more confused than before. "You started writing that book the first day you forgot everything. You were 14 when that happened." I looked back at the picture of that young girl. Knowing that this was me, that girl got slightly uglier in my eyes. I started to notice little things that didn't look good. Feeling bad for that little girl I looked at the next page. A really cute picture was glued in the middle of the page.

This is me with my parents. They are very nice people and I cherish them a lot.

I kept on looking through the book and only saw a few more pictures of mainly boys. "Please make sure to write everything important that happened today in the book before you go to sleep.", my mom said and gave me a little kiss on my forehead. "Dress up and then let's go downstairs and eat with your dad." I put on a skinny jeans and just some hoodie and went downstairs to see a table with some fruits and other food on it. We ate together and my mom drove me to school.
