One Meet By Chance

Teresa took the pill, smiling silently. 'The man really was thoughtful. He even noticed my diarrhea.'

After taking the pill, her stomach had calmed down once the medicine kicked in.

She took her neck pillow out of her bag and leaned on it comfortably. She slept comfortably after that, probably one of the pill's aftereffects.

She had a dream that hour, a dream that she never had.

There were ghosts surrounding her with bright ugly faces, looking as if they were about to eat her alive. They had talons for fingernails and fangs for teeth, and they neared, about to tear her to pieces.

It was so terrible that their screams echoed in her eardrums.

Jerome Gu's body popped out of thin air. His body was peppered with scars and cuts, white shirt stained with blood. He looked like a zombie that just popped out of film.

He looked at her, holding back his tears as his voice cracked. "Abby, just go..."

She couldn't leave, couldn't bring it in herself to. This was her home. She just couldn't.

Her heart clenched at the sight of Jerome Gu, covered in cuts and bruises.

But even if she wanted to, she couldn't bring it in herself to help him.

Jerome Gu had accepted the family punishment. He did everything to shied her from their family's cruelty. All he ever wanted was for her to live the ordinary life she deserved.

How could she do this? After everything that he'd done for her?

"Brother, no!" Teresa screamed, jolting herself awake. This time, she was back in the airplane, a thousand feet above her home.

The man sitting next to her made an annoyed sound, giving her a look.

'It was just a dream, just a dream.' She calmed herself.

It was one she didn't have since three years.
