"I was a dreamer and you were my dream"
"But nightmares are dreams too"
Emris's room, the same day
Emris
*sits down on the bed after changing clothes*
Emris
Got fired from my job today
Emris
Then I was over the moon when I got such a lavish offer
Emris
*scoffs* but only to realize that it was the worst recall to my past
Emris
Does she really think an apology is going to cut it? She is 8yrs late for that matter
Emris
But..... I never thought that I'll hear one from her
Emris
Revenge never crossed my mind and the weight of "forgiveness" is too noble for my wretched heart to bear
Emris
And tonight.... I should just sleep on my problems
Emris
*wakes up all of a sudden*
Emris
*His body becomes chilly while his heart starts having palpitations*
Emris
*grabbing his chest* Ahh...why now....*breathes heavily*
Emris
I should just....take some deep breaths for now...
Emris
My heart seems to have stabilized a little now
Emris
It's not like I can sleep again now, I better scroll Linsta
Emris
*searches for Reize* I never thought I would be writing her name again *sighs*
Emris
All these awards....so many public speeches....she seems to be getting fan letters even though she is a director of an art gallery?
Emris
*taps a video of her*
Reize
"The Caelum Art Space is organizing a silent mourning day in its premises tomorrow. I will be present during the morning hours, so I hope I receive a warm enthusiasm from you all"
Emris
I see! I knew it was a mourning day. The flower choices made it obvious
Emris
But for whom? I am sure her mother and father are still alive. She hasn't mentioned the name, so maybe someone she has an informal relation with?
Emris
..... could it be her boyfriend? *bites his lips*
Emris
That has nothing to do with me anyway.....but.....just for knowledge.....*scrolls through her Linsta*
Emris
No mentions of her dating anyone....*smiles* Nah! Why am I feeling relieved
Reize
I never mentioned the theme but Emris got the decoration right to a dot. But this is awkward now
Reize
I am mourning a man that is still alive after all...
Reize
(But how can I complain even? He mourned me even when I was right beside him.....)
Reize
(But how is he alive? I couldn't get any sleep while going over the questions again and again yet I found no real answer)
Assistant Dina
Mrs Director, when should we start the event?
Reize
Put the event on pause for now, mourning a living person isn't really respectful you know?
Reize
*calls her friend Arin*
Arin
[Over the phone]: I will reach soon, Cher! I am on my way alre-
Arin
*gulps* Who is ALIVE?
Arin
Do you mean what I think you mean?!
Reize
Precisely, he is alive Ari
Reize
*her voice breaks with a small sniffle* He isn't dead....he is still there....
Arin
I will call you back soon and about this....we have a lot to talk about
Arin
A lot to..... apologize about
Reize
Dina, how do you like the decorations?
Assistant Dina
The florist did quite a phenomenal job compared to my expectations. I didn't think he would be able to pull off such a splendid show from mournful flowers
Reize
*smiles* Of course he can. These are his favorites after all
Reize
I have got countless flower bouquets throughout my life. Yet only one image still remains burning in my mind
Emris
I heard you don't like flowers but these are my favorite! I hope you like them and...
Emris
....like me too *blushes*
Emris
Happy birthday *smiles earnestly*
Reize
(I hate gifts, especially flowers. Did I never tell him so?....I never told anyone anyway)
Reize
*takes the bouquet and places it on the shelf* The sweet fragrance isn't a bad addition to my home I guess *pinches his cheeks*
Reize
What were you thinking bringing me flowers? I told you I am not fond of them
Emris
Not even if they are from me? *sparkles his eyes* 🥺
Reize
(Cute...) *averts her eyes in embarrassment* Not really.....
Emris
I see....😞 *droops down*
Reize
That doesn't mean I hate them too much! It's just....
Reize
Meet you later then Emris. Finish your work and join me when you can
Emris
Ok! *leaves while humming excitedly*
Reize's friends come in to celebrate her birthday with her
After the birthday party, the next day morning
Reize's maid: Miss you have got a lot of gifts piled up, should I just throw them all?
Reize
*yawns after waking up* Throw everything out except food *yawns* I slept late yesterday....don't disturb me till I wake up....*goes back to sleep*
Emris
*has fresh scratches on his face*
Emris
*running* I couldn't go to her party yesterday, I should pay her a visit as soon as possible
Emris
Will she be repulsed from the scratches on me? I hope not....*laughs wearily*
Reize's maid empties the gifts into the trash can, in front of Emris
Reize's maid: *concerned* Just because of that person, young miss's still scared of gifts *sighs*
Emris
*sees his bouquet in the bin* But there aren't stale yet so why did she....
Emris
(Does she hate how cheap my efforts are? Does she hate the smell? The color? Is she angry I didn't join her yesterday?)
Emris
I was almost kicked out of my own house for this....*touches his scratches* Do my efforts seem this cheap to her?
