Veiled Love in Vice

As I walked further, I saw a figure in the distance. I could not make out who it was, but I could feel a familiar presence. The figure was standing in front of an altar, and I could see a beautiful red rose bouquet in his hands. I felt a warmth and joy in my heart that I could never explain.

I looked around, the aisle was full of people, all of them were in white too. I felt like I was in a dream, a beautiful dream that I never wanted to end. I could feel the warmth of the sun and the gentle breeze brushing through my hair, and the scent of the roses surrounded me. I was so happy and content, and I knew and felt that I was safe.

I felt a sense of peace and contentment as I slowly walked down the aisle. I could hear a faint music playing in the background and all I wanted to do was stay there forever.

I knew then that it was only a dream, but it still felt so Suddenly, a voice called me from the other end saying, "You are the chosen one, you have to accept this". I was confused and scared at the same time, I asked "What do I have to do?". He replied, "You have to accept it, it is destined for you".

He looked at me with a deep sorrow in his eyes, and gently said, "No matter what happened sweetheart, don't you ever pull out the ring at your finger. This is a sign of the commitment you have made and it is important for you to keep that commitment, it's for your own good." I knew he was right and I nodded in agreement, even though I didn't know why I had said yes to him in the first place.

I sighed and replied, "Yes, I know. I won't take it off, I promise". I knew he was trying to protect me, and I wanted to do the same for him. I looked into his sincere eyes and smiled, grateful for his concern. I nodded my head slowly, understanding the importance of what he said. I didn't know why, but something told me it was the right thing to do. I knew I had to trust him, and that this ring was my only anchor in a stormy sea.

I couldn't believe what was happening, I felt my heart racing as he kissed me. I was completely taken aback, it was my first kiss and I was really nervous. I closed my eyes and tried to enjoy the moment, even though I was scared and unsure of what to do. I had never been kissed before, and I was so surprised that he kissed me again . He held my face in his hands and kissed me for what felt like a minute for the second time.

I was so shocked by his sudden gesture that I couldn't move. I was completely taken aback, as I had never expected him to do something like this. I could feel my heart racing as he held me close and kissed again I had never experienced anything like this before, and I was overwhelmed with emotion.

I feel weird because my father wasn't around and indeed my friends. I don't see these people here, too many guests greet us but i don't indeed recognize either of them.

I woke up in a cold sweat and realized it was only a dream.

CHAPTER 1

I rushed up the stairs, taking two steps at a time. I could hear the sound of students rushing to their classrooms. I reached the third floor and quickly made my way to my classroom before the teacher arrived. I was relieved to see that I was not the last one to arrive. I took my seat and waited for the teacher to start the lesson.

"Whoa, hold up! Two whole days and you vanished into thin air? We were counting on you for the Chemistry report, remember?" My mind raced - how could I have missed an entire day. As I sat there panicking, trying to figure out what could have possibly happened, I immediately thought, how come I was absent just yesterday.

"Naoki is worried about you, He saw you with men riding in a black car and thought something terrible might've happened."he said.

" Is he sure it was me who rode in that black car?"

" yes and My heart skipped a beat at those words, and I could see the panic clearly written on hes face. and you didnt know how I relieved to see you now that and feel happy that you were OK and hadn't been in any trouble."....Hyorin said and hold my hand.

" Oh your so sweet my friend" I said and hug Hyorin I reassure her that everything was okay and that I had simply overslept. However, deep down inside, I knew that I still felt bad about missing an entire day of classes. After all, it was unlike me to be absent without notice, and I knew that it could potentially affect my grades in the long run.

I can't bring myself to tell Hyorin about the dream I had last night. I know she would only laugh at me and make fun of me, especially if I mention the intimate details of the dream. It's like a real experience, almost too vivid to be just a dream. In it, I found myself making love to my husband, being lost in the moment with him. The emotions were so real, so raw, that I can still feel them now, in the light of day.

"Hey, is that a dazzling new ring?" Hyorin interrupted, her attention suddenly diverted. "Gift from your Dad? Is Uncle Ben back yet? And where's my stash of chocolate?" My father always brings an assortment of sweets that Hyorin favors whenever he returns from a business trip. It's a small thing, but it's something that makes her happy, and I'm glad to oblige with the occasional chocolate treat.

So I hold back my dream, keeping it locked in the chamber of my mind where secrets are stored. It's a personal thing, one that I can't share with anyone else.
