I Returned, and Now I See Strange Things

At some point, Hyesung realized he had woken up.

The feeling of the bedsheets against his body.

Music drifting from his smartphone.

And... the sounds of commotion from outside.

His whole body was drenched in cold sweat.

Unlike the dream, the sensations he felt were vivid. Hyesung muttered quietly.

"...A dream?"

At the time, he simply thought that he was having restless sleep from visiting too many haunted places.

Dragging his exhausted body that hadn’t gotten proper rest, he started the day.

Hyesung went through the day looking more tired than usual, and that night, once again, he fell asleep after tossing and turning.

But contrary to his hopes, the dream continued.

When Hyesung opened his eyes within the dream, he realized he was still sitting inside the same subway train.
