You start tomorrow

Blue

After hearing the story of how I ended up here, I can't help but feel a lot of shame, I will never drink again. .

As I listened, the only thing I could do was cover my face with the sheet that was on the bed.

-I'm really sorry. —I'm starting to apologize is the least I can do.

—Okay, no problem, just try to take care of yourself while you drink.— He pauses. —If it hadn't been me who helped you, I don't imagine what would have happened to you.

You are right, I must not drink until I pass out.

—I appreciate very much that you have helped me but I have to go, I owe you one. — It's all I say as I stand up trying to look for my clothes I need to find them quickly.

Luckily, it's on a table next to the bed.

—No problem, make the bed before you go.— After saying that, he just leaves.

How silly I am, I don't know how I could end up like this with a stranger. I am thankful that he was a good person.

***

When I get home I throw the keys aside while taking off my shoes. I'm tired.

Since I don't have a job, I decide to sleep for a while, I'm still very sleepy.

I go and throw myself on my bed and close my eyes, it takes me a while to fall asleep.

***

"I am in a strange place, everything is very dark and I am very afraid.

—Is anyone here?— I yell as loudly as I can.

Nobody answers I am totally alone but from one moment to another it is no longer dark but I am in a small town.

There are a lot of people around me and they are all in a hurry but people are dressed in a strange way.

—He's waiting for you where they left off.—A woman speaks to me for a moment, I doubt if it is me who is speaking to him until he grabs me by the arm and pulls me. —Hurry up, it's late and he has to go home soon.

I don't understand what you're talking about ...

The woman takes me by the arm and starts to run with me.

—Wait, it hurts.— I start to complain.

When we arrive it is a very beautiful place, it has many very big trees ... there is snow everywhere.

While I am admiring the landscape I see a man from behind with a very strange suit that I do not remember ever seeing ... he looks like a long dress, he has a large hat, his hair is perfectly tied and his shoes are very peculiar.

When he realizes my presence he speaks affectionately.

—Oh darling, I was waiting for you for an eternity I didn't know when exactly I was going to be able to see you again.— Very slowly he walks towards where I am and caresses my face. —Please don't forget my name, I'm Jun ...

His touch feels warm, I look at him confused but I am also smiling I am happy to see him.

When I can better perceive his face .. I think for a few seconds he is the same as the boy in the store where I buy beers ..

Out of nowhere another young man appears.

—My lord must hurry, the king is asking for it.— That young man speaks while he smiles at me kindly.

When his face clears up, I realize that he looks a lot like the young man who helped and cared for me while I was drunk.

I'm confused. I wonder is this real, am I dreaming?

—I promise to protect you this time ..—Jun speaks.

I do not understand much what is happening around me. In the blink of an eye there is no one. What's going on? This is the real life?

Agitated I get up quickly from my bed .. it was all a dream but everything is very strange ..

***

I couldn't help but think about the strange dream I had ... so I decided to go to the store I wanted to convince myself that I had dreamed of someone else and not that young man.

My pretext was to go buy some instant noodles, not that I have a lot of money.

Upon arriving at the store, I stop for a moment at the door, as there is a small sign that says: —Part-time worker needed.— And I am very happy that I will finally have the opportunity to earn a living.

I enter the store and the young man is very serious at the counter as he carefully watches my every move. I'm already a little scared ...

I choose the instant noodles that will arrive and I approach the counter .. the young man just smiles kindly.

—Good afternoon, did you find what you were looking for?— He asks as he goes through the machine to the noodles.

—Yes ..— I hesitate to ask although I don't lose anything ..— I'm interested in the notice ..

He looks at me very excited.

—I thought no one was going to ask about the ad, it's been a few days old and so far you are the first to ask.— She pauses for a few seconds, she is thinking about what to say, maybe she just rejects me. — a lot because we are not doing very well to say.

I'm so happy! I finally have a job.

—It doesn't matter, I'm happy with whatever it is.— I reply very excited.

—"What's your name?" He asks.

—Blue. What about you? .—For a few seconds I can see how a half smile crosses his face.

—Jun.—I keep thinking, it's like in the dream ... —Nice to meet you.

I take a few seconds to react, maybe it's just a coincidence, it's not that bad.

A little worried he asks.

—Are you okay?— I nod my head gently. —Sure?— You got very white, it looks like you saw a ghost.

I smile weakly.

—If all is well, thank you.— Tomorrow I will be here very early and again thank you very much for hiring me.

—Thank you for accepting.— He speaks very excited. —I'm happy to see you again..

Than?...

I cancel my instant noodles and leave the store.

Tomorrow will be a new day for me.
