Dream Love : Dream Land - Chapter 113

Opening her eyes back to the real world, Jieun as usual wrote down important things in her notebook right away so that she will not forgotten every detail. Just a habit that she probably pick up from her mother.

After feeling satisfied with everything, she carefully closes the book and hiding it under her pillow. A very immature act there, but she still did it anyway.

Only then she start focusing on her sleeping figure husband. To people who didn’t find this to be normal, they probably freak out, when waking up from sleep and finding someone as if dead, but breathing next to them.  But, as Jieun always met him in another world, she didn’t find it weird at all.

“Morning.” She said that to Eun-Woo even if he cannot reply back.

Then, after froze in there for a couple of minutes, lazily, Jieun began to get up to clean herself.  As today, she has classes in the afternoon and none in the morning, she moves very slowly.

Not forgetting there, she did not forget to also prepare warm water to wipe Eun-Woo’s body.  Not clumsy at all now, as if she had been doing it for a long time when she had only done once yesterday.

Careful there, she started wiping her husband’s body while humming happily.  After one ‘hot’ night with her husband, she feels like it’s quite okay to do this. She is still feeling shy but it is not unbearable like before. So smoothly she did her job faster this time around.

Finishing everything here, she then left the room because there were things to ask her professor who also spent the night in the same house.

“Morning Mom, Dad.” Jieun greetings to both her father and mother -in -law in a friendly tone. Even though she had only been there for a day, she was already feel as if she had lived there for a long time. That how comfortable she got.

“Where’s Professor?”

“She still hasn’t woken up.” Ji-Na replied to her.

“Let’s just leave her be for now. Later, when you want to go to college then we wake her, as she said to me she wanted to drive you there today.” Byung-Hun added.

‘Well, its look like the question need to wait,’ Jieun decide for now.

______________

:: Korean International Medical College::

While in the lecturer’s car park, Jieun, who had not yet gotten out of Melanie’s car, started asking questions that she had forgotten to ask earlier.

“Oh, wait professor. Can I ask you something?”

“What is it? I still have plenty of time.” Melanie said with smiling there.

“I don’t know if this information is useful or not, but I found out that every night when I sleep, roughly 6 to 8 hours, in the Dream Land, I live there about a couple of weeks or a month. Eun-Woo said to me that he was in that world for 10 years. Then his timeline and this world are the same. Why am I different? Is the time frame the same for my mother? ” Jieun finally ask.

‘It also different for me, but I can’t remember about Aera. For me, that 6 to 8 hours of sleep is 23 hours in Dream Land and when I wake up here, I disappear in Dream Land for about an hour every single time. That makes it easy for me to make calculation when and what to do at the time to not raise suspicion. But why? Why the time is different? ‘ Melanie began to think seriously about the matter until her face began to wrinkle.

Seeing Melanie, who was silent for a long time made Jieun start to wonder what the woman was thinking.

“Professor? What’s wrong?” Jieun asking.

Melanie seems lost in thought and not answering her. With that Jieun had to hold the woman’s hand to awaken her.

“Professor?”

“Oh! Sorry. I’m just trying to find any memory about that. About Aera of course.” Very smooth there in lying. Not entirely lying actually.

“So did you remember any?”

Melanie sighs a little and speak the truth now.

“Unfortunately no. I need to see my research note again.”

Beep… Beep…

Suddenly, Melanie smartphone beeping quite loudly there as she didn’t silent her phone. Looking at her phone now, her eyebrows were raised slightly at the sight of the unexpected scene there. It’s actually a sound of warning came from her CCTV. Someone trespassing her place. Not really bother with it as all of her valuable things already not at that place so she just ignored it for this time being. But still, she wanted to make the intruder feel restless for a little bit.

Melanie is focusing back to Jieun.

“Don’t worry about that. I will tell you my finding but first can you come to my office now and get my lecture note on the table. I’m so sorry to trouble you, but I can’t be seen by my other colleagues right now as I take a sudden leave which becomes a big controversy here. ”

“Wait, you’re not coming here to work?”  Jieun thought that woman drive her there because she also needed to come to work for a while before do her work outside.

“No, I made a promise to your father to drive you go and back from college started now, as your home is quite far.”

Jieun start to feel guilty.

“No need to feel guilty. I do this willingly and also I already told Ji-Na and Byung-Hun that I will live there with you guys started today.”

Jieun happy face start there.

“Really?” She can’t believe she can live with such a big family.

“Aha, so our destination is the same. Also, I will teach you to drive soon so that you know how to drive later. I have a lot of cars to pass down to my favorite student anyway.”

Jieun eyes started sparkling there. She really wants to learn how to drive, but her father always feels afraid to let her learn.

Melanie peered a bit at her cell phone.

“So, can you help me or not? Take the note and give that to me. I will wait for you here.” Melanie tries to rush Jieun now as the girl seems to forget about her asking.

“Ah, right. Wait a minute, I get that for you. My class will only start 30 minutes later anyway.”

With that, Jieun quickly got out of the car and started walking fast towards Melanie’s office, which was in the special lab at the college.

Almost arriving in front of the entrance of the special lab, Jieun was surprised to see Sarah, who suddenly came out of there with a slightly lifeless face.

“Sarah? What are you doing here?” Jieun asking her.

Sarah, who try not to be surprised there continued to smile and approached Jieun at that moment.

“Hi there Jieun. You’re already here.” She tries to sound normal.

“Yeah. But, what are you doing here?” Jieun still with her question.

“Aaa… I actually wanted to ask Professor Melanie about something, but it seems like she hasn’t come to college again today.” She said.

Not being suspicious with her friend, Jieun continued to nod understandingly there.

“She actually has a work outside. Why didn’t you ask me then? It will save you time to ask me first you know.”  Jieun tell her.  Its not like they are stranger.

“Right… Why I was so stupid.” Sarah scratched her non -itchy head.

Jieun now take a look at her best friend there in weird. Sarah looks different this past few days actually. It’s not a drastic change, but she becomes a little quiet and her fashion also changes a little.

Before, she likes to wear an up to date clothes and always nagging her for not wearing according to the current fashion. But now she is the one not following her own past advices.

“I’ve been wanting to ask for a long time, but forgot each time. Why are you wearing a thick long -sleeved clothes while it’s still early fall? Its still freaking hot.” Jieun ask there finally.

“Oh, this? I actually switched directions on baggy shirt fashion. Its famous you know, no matter the time and when. Believe me. Talk no more. Why are you here?” Sarah tried to change the topic.

Decide to trust and accept her friend weirdness, Jieun answer the question.

“I need to run errand.”

“Then, do it now. Let me take your bag and save you a place.”

With that Sarah quickly took action to take Jieun’s bag and continued to walk away.

“See you in class.”

Jieun just keep blinking there.

“What just happen? Oh my! I forgot.” Just as she was about to run into the lab, a message came into her cell phone.

“Jieun, no need to give me the note. I forgot that I didn’t need it today. Sorry for the trouble.”

Luckily she decides to read the message before she wastes her energy again.

“What’s wrong with everyone today?” She just murmurs there alone.

With Sarah,

Standing behind a building, hiding from others, Sarah began to pick up her smart phone that had been shaking in her pants asking to be picked up.

“Nothing like you describe to me is in her office!” Sarah said in a whisper but clearly showed her frustrated.

“I’m already searching her entire office. What else do you want me to do?!”

She seemed unhappy with the person who called her at the time.

“You are going to make me expel in this state!”

Listen on her phone for a couple of minutes, Sarah then can’t take it anymore.

“Don’t call me when I am at college. I will tell you everything when I get home!”

She ended the call and kept to off her phone there while starting crying.
