I thought the reason I was having this dream was because I was just so tired, so tired that I could die, that even the dream was tormenting me.
After finishing my third year of high school, which was extremely difficult, I thought that my life would get better and more comfortable when I became an adult, but the reality was different.
I came to the small society called university without knowing what I wanted to do or what I could do, and I met many people like me or people who lived completely different lives from me.
Those people, always running towards their dreams, seemed so amazing and happy. Could I be like that? I'm so exhausted with my life right now, I can barely hold on.
“Seungcheol, where does it hurt?”
“No haha I’m not sick~”
It's tiring to force a smile and answer.
I'll have that dream again today. I want to live just once.
Even if it's that child in a dream...

- In a dream -
'S...!'
'blanket...!'
"What are you talking about?"
It sounded like someone was shouting something urgently, but I couldn't hear it clearly and it came out in choppy bursts. So, today's dream felt different from usual.
After that, in the following dreams, I heard the urgent call about 5 times and then never heard it again.

- 1 year later
Today, I left Daegu, where I had lived for the first time, and moved to Seoul. By chance, a friend of mine brought me to a music academy in Seoul, and I simply joined him in pursuing his dream.
When I first learned about writing lyrics and composing, it was boring because I didn't know anything, but I didn't hate it.
A week had passed since I started going to school, the weekend had arrived, and I was on my way to the place my friend had invited me to hang out with.
Since I didn't know the way yet and it was my first time, I was looking at the map on my phone and as if possessed by something, I looked at the time and followed my feet and stopped in front of a crosswalk.
This is the place I saw in my dream.
"This is..."
The scenery, so unlike any I'd seen countless times in my dreams, made me feel uneasy. Come to think of it, the clothes I was wearing and the people around me all felt familiar.
I looked at the time again, nervously hoping it would be different from my dream.
That time in the dream, 12:37 PM.
As soon as the time came, the child, who looked exactly like the one I saw in my dream, came into my sight. He ran into the crosswalk under a red light.
What surprised me even more than the child was the urgent voice that I couldn't hear in my dream.
“Seungcheol..!!!”
"baby..!"
The voice brought me back to my senses, and I threw down everything I was holding and ran to the child.
Hoping that I could save her this time, I quickly reached the child and saw the car that was running towards me from my dream. I barely managed to pick the child up and fell over as I pushed myself backwards.
The car was not able to avoid the collision completely and I hit my arm on the side mirror, but I was relieved to see that no one else seemed to be injured.
The people around us helped us up.
“Seungcheol...! Thank you, thank you so much!”
“If it weren’t for you, my child would have been in big trouble ㅠㅠㅠ”
This person who keeps bowing her head to me and expressing her gratitude is probably the mother of the child and the person who spoke in an urgent voice a little while ago.
“I think the child’s name is Seungcheol?”
"Yes, yes... My name is Choi Seung-cheol and I'm 5 years old..."
"Thank you so much! I think you bumped your arm. Let's go to the hospital together!"
"It's okay haha"
"I hope the child isn't hurt. I finally saved the child..."
"Finally..?"
"No, it's not"
"My name is Choi Seung-cheol too."
"That's strange..."
“Seungcheol must have been really surprised. I need to make sure he gets some rest.”
"Yes! I'd love to treat you to a meal next time."
"Is it okay..?"
"Oh, yes... thank you too"
“next time meal please I'll treat you..! I am Sebong Shopping Mall 1floor At the snack bar Because I'm working Anytime Come!”
"Thank you, hyung! See you next time!!"
