hmm.. raihan thought to himself, placing his phone on the nightstand sitting beside his shambolic bed. it's the worst it's ever been; blankets of thick and thin all gathered. that's true.. never really considered when i'll go live again. he averted his eyes to the window hanging above a fairly small bookshelf that was covered with small, miscellaneous items. (awaited to be dusted, raihan still refused. though raihan hasn't looked at that shelf for longer than 15 seconds in at least four months.) stars exiting their blankets, moon releasing that familiar glow. night was making its home. intertwining his hands together and tucking them under his head, he lied back so that they were resting on a pillow. maybe i should take a rest tonight he thought, eyes closing as they were still on the window. the wind blowing like a sandstorm, the curtains waved and covered the world outside, as if it was its own way of saying "goodnight".
and there it was.
deep in sleep, sucked into the abyss. there wasn't any falling, or any aches. or really anything. just felt empty, endless, entire whole sucked. eyes glued on a screen, like at a movie theater. i can't look away. it was like when the climax of the movie was making its way. you just can't look away, not to grab a snack or go to the bathroom. i can't look away. why can't i look away? the "screen" flashed a dull color, grey. shielding his eyes with an arm and turned away in vain, another image was shown. eyes suddenly twitching open, it was... a face? w-who's tha-
he jolted up, eyes widened while aimlessly wandering around the room. where is it? where did it go?
oh. it's gone.
raihan's eyes finally came to a stop. while making an attempt to fixate them on one object, he heaved a sigh. who was that.. he shifted towards the nightstand and grabbed his phone, turning it on. i bet it's nothing. just an odd dream. i'm sure it will be back to normal tonight. i'll just take my mind off of it. shaking his head, he looked towards the several notifications that were sitting, unopened. which one ~.. he was forming a routine to try to reply to at least one comment or message per hour. tapping on a randomly selected notification, his face was left unfazed.
hh_ii_qq: raihan, u should get a partner!
replies:
jjun_gu: yeah u should!!
owoyyhh: yeah, me;)
sighing, he reluctantly responded.
you: nahh i think im good
allowing the phone to drop into his lap, his eyes trailed to the window again. the sight of a rising sun and flowing clouds in the orange sky was pretty healing. i'm sure my fans miss me, he thought. after all, who wouldn't? a grin made its way to his face. he propped his phone up against a small, arbitrary object nearby. after setting up a live, he simply sat back and continued staring out the window. most of the time, he didn't bother fixing himself up. gradually, he began learning what his fans wanted of him, so he gave. their expectations weren't much of a hassle to put up with in the first place, so he didn't really mind. except one: seeking a partner. several comments suggesting him other influencers, volunteering themselves. sometimes, his fans even think that he's secretly with someone. and for what reason would i have to hide them? , raihan would always think. ultimately, any comment relating to finding a partner was vexing.
sinking into his thoughts, he had somehow forgotten that he started the live. whipping his head back to his phone, around two hundred people were spamming the chat. simple greetings, keyboard smashes, random emojis. all were familiar to him, but nonetheless, a smile was painted across his face.
"hey, all~!" raihan greeted, shifting his whole body towards the phone. he raised his hand and give a tiny wave. "how are you guys?"
chat:
kkenz.iie: LASIUDFHAISDHVSODHOA;IVHSOHV
tweeiiqq: TIRED
rrttyy: i wanna sleep
a faint laugh was earned from the last comment.
"'i wanna sleep'.. i think we all do." raihan replied, lying back to face his ceiling. at the mention of sleep, an uneasy feeling began to dance over his head. sitting back up, he said, "speaking of sleep... i had an unusual dream."
chat:
tweeiiqq: what happened?
jjun_gu: nightmares?
"it felt... sort of ethereal." well, ethereal was one way to describe it. "it was like, i couldn't move."
chat:
tweeiiqq: like... sleep paralysis???
peering at the comment, raihan considered this for a moment.
"could be. but... i don't think so." raihan said, slouching.
chat:
rrttyy: maybe its that soulmate thing
raihan narrowed his eyes at the mention of a soulmate.
"what soulmate thing?" he asked, the comment piquing his curiosity.
chat:
rrttyy: yknow that whole face soulmate thing, idk much about it tho
raihan hummed, his eyes beginning to wander around the room like earlier.
"i don't think it's anything too serious. after all, it only happened today."
