17 DREAMS

My heart is beating furiously. I'm nervous.

I constantly check if there has been a response yet.

I wait and wait and wait.

I think of various excuses to explain why it's talking so long, Maybe she is in the shower?

She could be busy or is she asleep already.

Maybe she suffered a heart attack or is dyslexic.

I grow anxious and check the time.

Two minutes have passed!

Yes, only two minutes.

But I'm stressing out dude!

At the height of my inner turmoil, a notification awakens me from my delusions.

*Ding*

I check my phone as fast as the Flash and sure enough it's Hora's one word response, just a simple

"Call"

I take a deep breath and steady myself.

Hi , Hey, Helllooo, How you Doin.

Argh how should I begin.

F*** it, I'll do it live!

I go to contacts and my finger hovers over the call button.

Press it. Press it. Press it.

My finger moves slowly downwards and ..... ......... ..... *click*

The dial tone soon cuts off and a feminine voice answers

"Hello"

"Hi, am I speaking to Choo-ssi?"

"Were you expecting someone else?"

"No, am I just checking"

After a light chuckle, I feel awkward. What should I say ?

Think Dylan. Think!

"Uhmm"

......

Come on. Say Something. Say Anything!!

".... I really don't know what to say"

She bursts out at my honesty

"Me neither"

"Truthfully, I even searched online questions to ask you"

"Really? You did? are you that nervous?"

"Of-course, it's my first time ever calling a pretty girl."

"As If! you are definitely a playboy. I bet all the girls at your old school were heads over heals for you?"

She says this very sharply. I can even feel the jealousy emanating from the phones' head piece.

"I've never gone to school before"

Surprised by my sudden declaration

"Huh! never ?"

"Yeah, after my parents died. My uncle was pretty protective of me, I've only had private tutors and not much free time for other things"

"Oh" With a pitiful tone she asks, "Weren't you lonely?"

"Not really, I had plenty of people who worked for us who would do anything I wanted"

If you are wondering why I know these things even though I suffer from amnesia, then the answer is simple..... I recovered this life's memories, well most of them.

Hora seems to process what I've just told her.

"I knew were pretty wealthy. I mean I'd have to be blind but ..... honestly .....who even are you ?"

She questions, waiting for an answer to her doubts. I'm really not sure what I should say.

Its really not the right time for me to tell her that not only am I rich.

I'm mega rich.

I can't just go and say, 'Hey I'm the Dylan Park of the S company, want to be my sugar-baby'.

Well obviously I wouldn't bring up the sugar-baby part but nonetheless I bet she would freak.

"Well.....What would you like to know?"

Trying to formulate a perfect question, she takes a moment before asking.

"Why..... are you in Haknam?"

"Uhm... I kinda messed up and am being punished by my Uncle for it"

"I knew you were no good" She teases, "What did you do? Its alright if you don't want to talk about it"

"It's cool, the thing is ..... I didn't do anything, I was". How do I even explain this , when even I don't know what fully happened, "... uhm.... circumstances just made me take the blame"

"Wow that explains everything!" She says sarcastically. This girl is really mouthy over the phone, not that I dislike it, "Okay then so what about when we graduate, will you be going back to Seoul after graduating then"

"Yeah, I have plans to. What about you? What will you be doing after we graduate"

"I don't really know"

Strange, Isn't she planning to go to Seoul to be a performer?

Wanting to know if this Hora is different from the Hora I know/read about I can't help but ask,

"What's your dream?"

"Uhm.... I haven't really .... told anyone."

She's not the type of person to ask for help.

She has a 'I will do it on my own' style.

Sharing her worries and expressing her feelings to others might be difficult. So I just wait patiently for her.

"I ... really want to be a singer... I know the chances of me being successful is like 1 in 1 000 0000 but I really want to perform"

She's so nervous and her breathing is louder than normal.

The line is dead silent. As she waits for my reaction.

Spontaneously, I decide to scream,

"Waah.... How Cool!! JANG! (The best)"

I shout my words of encouragement like a crazed fan. Which I am. But that's neither here nor there.

Who am I to deny the world of HORA!

With me as her backup, she will have the smoothest of sailings.

But only looking, no touching you pervs.
