FINALLY WAKE UP IN HER REAL WORLD

Jieun sit on her bed while grunting like an old person. She massaged her body which felt a bit tired that night. All her muscle feeling hurt. It is because, today, she cooked a variety of dishes for all the princes for the last time before they all left for the palace.

She is working extra hard on the cooking today. Its all because she wanted to fulfill prince Leo's request before. But, although tiring, as a result, she could see them all eating the food she cooked with full appetite. That's really makes her feel proud of herself.

After that, all the princes were getting ready to go home. And Prince Haru really buys all the desserts in her café. Surely make her so surprise that as she thought that the prince just being polite before. Then, there, they all said goodbye. Jean looks at the window while smiling. That night seems so quiet after all of the royal guests leave.

"What a nice experience. Will I meet them all again?" Jieun, herself ask.

She felt weirdly attach to them already. Like a long lost family that she just found. Including that 'Prince Eun-Woo'. But only when he is in a good mood and not become a jerk that is.

Just in a short time, she can feel that all the princes are a nice person even to a normal people like her. They are also not at all awkward in helping them there, including the simple work like sweep the dry leaves in the yard, even though their degrees are much different. No wonder all of them being idolized by the people in the land.

Jieun yawns a few times, making her mind, that thinking about the six princes disappear as she, now consume by sleepiness. After several jerks, as she tries not to fall sleep yet, she finally gives in and decides to just lie down. The time was still early, but given her tired body, she kept her eyes closed. Letting herself fell into a deep slumber soon after.

_______________

Kringgg!

"What was that Aya?" Jieun said lazily in her hoarse voice. She felt like she had just fallen asleep at the time. Why is there a sudden noise that disturbs her in the middle of the night like this?

With her eyes still close. She's thinking. Wait? This sound is familiar somehow. But, she can't seem to remember. With all her might, fighting with her tired body and sleepiness. She frowned before her eyes cracked open from the sleep.

She blinked her eyes. The room ceiling is different.

"Huh?" She gasped a bit before quickly getting up from her bed. Looking around.

"This is..."

All of her memory seems to be rushing back now. Jieun is suddenly running. Opening her bedroom door hastily and get down into the first floor of the house.

Her destination is... The kitchen.

"Dad!" Jieun said while crying.

Beum-Soo just watching his daughter who is suddenly crying and hugging him tight now. He felt strange with that sudden situation. But he just let the weird feeling go, while gently rubbing his daughter's head.

"What's wrong? Are you having a nightmare?" His father's soft voice making Jieun cry even more because she felt very, very longing.

When she finally calmed down a little, Jieun let go of her father.

"What are you saying? Don't you miss me?" Jieun asking while still sobbing.

"Aaa... Of course I miss you even when we were just having our dinner together last night."

Something cross Jieun mind just now. Right after hearing what her father just said.

"W... Wh... What?" She said looking like a fool. Her crying stopped abruptly.

"Are you watching a horror movie again? You're afraid of those but still watching it makes me not understand. You're so weird." Her father started nagging while his hands were busy cooking breakfast for the two of them.

Jieun takes a look at the calendar on the wall of her house. Then look at the digital clock that is also there.

"What is this?" She said slowly while grabbing her hair with her two hands.

"Just get ready now. Or you're going to be late for college again." Her dad reminded her.

Jieun just nodded and walk back up inside her bedroom. Close the door. Trying to put all the puzzle together.

"The Dream Land can't be a normal dream, right?" She keeps asking herself.

She remembered something. Yesterday she was cooking for the six princes, her hand was slightly injured by hot oil. She inspected her hand. There. The burn is still there.

She pressed the spot a little.

"Ouch!" Still hurt. Confirming that she just got the injury.

"This means, that the Dream Land is real. And, I only sleep one night, but I am living there quite long for just one night." She is calculating. Weeks? Months? Her head is confused. Whatever it is. One night here, many days in there.

"Ah! This must be what Granny Susan tells me before, about me being sleeping in the real world." Jieun just remember.

She then observed the room. Nothing has changed, but her room is definitely in a mess. There was a glass bottle falling on the carpet, flowing out the liquid inside, wetting the floor.

"No... How can I clean this carpet?" Jieun let out a frustration sigh as her feet step closer there to clean. She picks up the bottle. Seeing it while thinking of something before throw it into the dustbin.

"Are this drink the reason why am I started to get the dream?" She started questioning. But its sound too good to be true. This is just a normal drink, right? Even when it was made by senior Alvin, who are also part of college special science department. Has this drink been one of their experiments?

"Hey... It can't be." Jieun shook her head furiously in disagreement with her own new opinion.

But, even she denied. Her head cannot stop thinking about that. Plus, she also feels sick after drinking the drink. So, what exactly happened?

Lazy to riddle for long, join just set aside her doubt for now. She gets up, continue to clean herself. Wanted to get ready to go to the college.
