In My Dreams [Infinite Fanfic]

Part 2

Melody_POV

"It's always the same" I sighed as I walked through the halls. "Why can't they just give me some space?"  

"Well, well, well" a familiar voice sang. "If it isn't the looser Melody" Brittany chuckled to her friends.

All I have to do is just ignore them like usual and they will stop. They just want to see me get upset.

It was the same as always, the popular girls were trying to pick on me again. They have always tried to push my buttons. It all started back in middle school when I first moved here, but I have no idea why. Brittany used to be my friend until one day she changed. I still have no idea what happened.

Now we were in college and they were doing everything they could to make me look like a real looser. The only difference is now I know what they truly are like. I was just something for them to amuse themselves with. Something to pick on so that they could feel better about themselves.

"Oh, come on Melody" Brittany cutely cooed. "Don't you want to listen to this song?" she held her headphones out towards me.

"Not really" I replied with a smile. "I probably wouldn't like it anyways."

"Come on!" she sweetly sang. "It's a really popular song! Give it a chance!"

I sighed internally. I knew that if I just shrugged it off, they wouldn't leave me alone. So I stopped walking, looked at her and asked "What kind of song? What genre?"

"Kpop!" she happily said.

From the way she said it, I knew that it was something she liked. "No thank you" I quickly replied and started walking away.

Her face dropped and she ran after me. "Why not?" her eyes widened.

"Don't like Kpop" I replied as I continued walking.

"Really?" she was shocked.

I snapped my head to look at her "Have I ever lied to you before?"

She was taken aback by my sudden question. "N..no."

"Then why do you think I'm lying now?"

"I never said that I thought you were lying!"

"Oh, must have been my misunderstanding" I smiled slyly. "You know I can't lie."

Unable to find fault in what I said because I've never lied to her before, she huffed as she turned on her heels and walked away.

Heaving an internal sigh of relief that the conversation was finally over, I rushed over to my locker and grabbed my things before making a quick dash to my bus.

"Why do they have to do this everyday?" I cursed under my breath as I took a seat on the bus. Everyday after school, Brittany and her friends try to make my life miserable. There have been many days that I haven't been able to get away as quickly and have missed my bus as a result. "When will they give up?" I slouched a little in my seat. "Sometimes I just wish there was a place I could go to get away from all this" A place where no one knew who I was and I could just be myself. 

I closed my eyes as I knew it would be a long ride home. Will he be there waiting for me?

I was a little sad when I opened them and he wasn't, but that quickly changed when I saw him appear out of nowhere.

I smiled and quickly asked "So where should we go today? Russia?"

"Too cold!" he shivered.

"Egypt?"

"Too hot! You want me to sweat to death?"

"Italy, for the wine country?"

"We could do that in France or California" he replied as he shook his head.

"Then where do you want to go?" I sighed and pouted. "Where haven't we been?"

He thought for a moment before grabbing my hand and pulling me towards him. "Where do you live?"

I quickly countered "What about you? Where do you live?" It was our usual banter, but it always made me smile. 

"Come on! I want to know!" he whined.

I sighed and rolled my eyes "You know this is only a dream, so why do you keep asking?" I noticed that his eyes seemed to cloud over. I guess I shouldn't mention a dream in a dream. It might make me wake up. "Earth to Sungjong" I waved my hands in front of his face. "Come in Sungjong" I chuckled.

He smiled as he grabbed my hands. He pulled me towards him and held me close. "Close your eyes" he whispered in my ear.

I blushed a little, nodded and buried my face in his chest. I waited for a little bit until I heard him say "You can look now."

I slowly pulled away from him and smiled "It's so beautiful!!!! Where are we?"

"Jeju Island in spring" He smiled back.

"Jeju?" I cocked my head to the side confused. "Where is that again? I don't recognize it."

He started smiling as he grabbed my hand and began to walking down the road. "Jeju Island is an island off the southern coast of South Korea."

"Ahh" I nodded. "Now that you mention it, I think I've heard of it before."

As I was looking around at the scenery, I heard him say "Beautiful."

"Yes it is" I sighed happily as I leaned my head against his arm. "What kind of flowers are these?"

"They are canola flowers" he replied.

My head sprang up and I quickly grabbed his arm forcing him to look at me. "Canola? Like the cooking oil?"

He chuckled a little "Yeah."

"Seriously?" I was shocked. "Who knew they were so pretty?" I smiled.

"Not nearly as pretty as you" he commented.

"Please" I couldn't help but blush. "I'm not pretty."

"You're right" he replied.

I looked up in shock. This shouldn't happen in my dream. I lowered my head a bit to conceal my disappointment. "See, I knew I wasn't."

He took a couple of steps away before turning around and yelling "You're absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!"

I couldn't help but blush. "Sungjong!"

"What?" he asked innocently. "It's true."

"Only you would say something like that."

He walked back over to me and cupped his hand on my cheek. "I'll say it as many times as it takes for you to believe it." He leaned forward a little. "You are the most beautiful woman in the world." Then he kissed me gently.

"Miss!" I heard someone calling me in the distance.

I knew what was going to happen, but I still tried to fight against it. I tried focusing on his lips. Their taste, their feel, their warmth. Anything that would stop me from waking up.

"Miss! Wake up!" the bus diver shouted as he shook me. "Last stop!" he yelled.

I opened my eyes and sighed.

"Did you sleep well Miss?" he asked as I got off the bus.

"Yes" I falsely smiled. "Thank you for always waking me up."

"No problem Miss" he smiled at me as he closed the doors and drove off.

My smiled quickly dropped. "Why did he have to wake me up?" I sighed as I walked the rest of the way home.
