In the seventh grade, Younha had the same dream for almost a month straight.

The dream was starting to hurt their friendship in real life, creating a strange distance between them. Yubin stopped asking about the details, and Younha stopped offering them. Younha knew she was being stupid, but the dream felt so real. She woke every morning with a huge emptiness, a black hole, in her abdomen, which swallowed even more of her whenever she saw Yubin in class. Yubin seemed ashamed of herself, but also hurt that Younha could see her as an enemy. They talked less and less, until the third day, when Younha was walking home by herself
