Just like any other day, I woke up early, just to sit on my windowsill and wait for the sun to illuminate the world with its radiance.

It might sound uninteresting, but... I actually enjoy watching the sky change from the inky blue of the night, into the bursting colours of dawn.

And once the warm light reached my skin, I feel myself invigorated to start my day.

« ••• A month ago...

I feel suffocated...

It seems like there's something that's pulling me from every direction.

I can't see anything...

All there ever was... Was pain! My whole body's in pain!

It's been so long since I lost track of the time, and each passing second feels like a century long of agony.

I'm starting to lose my consciousness, I can no long take this excruciating pain.

There's no use for me to keep struggling. I can already feel myself succumbing to the depths of this darkness.

Numbed...

I already accepted my fate, I was meant to die, so there's no longer any reason for me to keep fighting, but... Just before I completely give up my will to live.

I suddenly woke up.

I opened my eyes... Confused, startled, and relieved that it was only a dream. A very bad one though.

I gasped hard, taking in all the air I could to catch my breath.

I felt several parts of my body became painful due to my sudden movement. But it was nothing compared from what I've suffered from my dream.

It seems like my body was too stiff to move freely, so I calmed myself down first to avoid further damage to it while examing the room I was in.

The room seemed to be well taken care of. There wasn't even a speck of dust that can be seen.

The windows were also open, letting the fresh air in. Although I can't see what's outside, I can imagine a variety of flowers grown in a garden below since the air carries a sweet fragrance.

There are also freshly picked fruits on a table not too far from my bed. The whole place gives off an aura of elegance and care. There's nothing much in it but anyone can tell that it's owner must be a noble.

On a side table besides me, I saw a photograph of two handsome men together. They seemed to be brothers since they shared quite a lot of similarities.

But what caught my attention was the colour of their eyes.

They have this translucent silver-like eyes that would make one feel like they were completely harmless to the point of letting your guard down.

Even if it's only a photograph, it made me feel like they're really staring at me!

Under it was a bunch of letters that hasn't been opened yet. Although these letters were well-preserved, anyone can tell that it has been a while since they were made. The edges of most of it were already discoloured.

I wanted to reach out to one of those but my body restrains me from moving. I can't even raise my hands, let alone pick something up.

Aside from my dream, there was nothing else I can remember. I tried to look for some memories from my mind but it only gave me a throbbing headache.

I exhausted every efforts I have but the results were non-satisfactory.

After my fruitless struggle. I became aware of my grumbling stomach.

I was too distracted by my thoughts since I woke up that I have completely forgotten about how long was I asleep, and if I ever ate anything before.

I suddenly remembered the fruit platter I saw earlier and starts to reach for it.

I tried raising my left arm little by little but it was so difficult that beads of sweat starts appearing from my face. So I resorted to my last option...

I stared hard at those fruits willing them to come to me.

And just like that, my staring contest against a fruit platter begins.

I was too focused on what I was doing that I failed to notice the door from opening, letting a couple of men in.

They were talking when they walked in but stopped when they saw a person sitting on the bed.

Their hushed voices broke my concentration, making me feel aggrieved since I was so close from getting my hands on that apple. (It's just my wishful thinking tho)

I turned my head it their direction after I heard a series of footsteps pause near me.

What I saw left me dumbfounded. In front of me was a very handsome man, with brown eyes that seems to glow and lips that can make anyone feel envy.

I was too astounded that I wasn't able to comprehend what they told me, but their surprise and happiness was clearly evident in their eyes.

"Young master Kai, you're finally awake!" said the other man beside him.

But before I ask him to repeat what he said, I saw everything around me starts to distort, then slowly fade.

Great! It seems like I'm gonna lose my consciousness again. Yey. (bet you heard my sarcasm)

The last thing I saw was their frightened expressions as they rushed towards me.
