Dear Dream, Dear Mark

1-Chuseok

Today is Chuseok. NCT will be uploading their Chuseok greetings on YouTube and I stared at the main page, fingers non-stop swiping to refresh the page.

FINALLY

Jeno, Jaemin and Jisung was decorating the big rice cake and as expected, Jaemin was being funny and making comedy.

Jaehyun and Doyoung was writing calligraphy and Doyoung messed up quite a bit.I laughed as I scrolled threw fanedits on my Instagram.

I am XinA, a fan of NCT since debut, ot21.

Age:20, born in Malaysia.

Birthdate:30 June 1999(aka same year as Mark)

Mark Lee, graduated NCT Dream 9 months ago. I wish he was still with the dreamies. Now he is preparing for Superm.

I wished I can see Mark or a member of nct for like once... Even if it's just once in a lifetime. However, fate always got played. How many times have the dreamies came to Malaysia?? 2 times.I missed it all out. Even the neighboring country, Singapore where I can just spend less than a hundred to travel to. Nct127 is visiting Singapore in November. Am I gonna miss it again? I guess. The ticket is plainly too expensive for the better seats. How did they even label the prices? The cheapest is really cheap but the seat is like a blockhead - sees literally nothing and also very far from stage .Whatever. I promised myself to go to their concert for once when I get the ability to earn money. For now, I shall continue fangirling over the hard screen where I will never get to reach out to Mark or even Nct.

I have a dream. I wish to become a kpop idol. However, I don't have the visual nor the talent or even the skills. I can sing but not like many girl idols that can hit the notes like how nct hit the states. I can dance, I really love it and is not THAT stiff but I don't have the confidence and the sharpness to be a dance God like Kai of EXO, Taemin of Shinee or even Taeyong and Ten. Fate must be playing with me to be no talent,maybe if I have the confidence.

I lie on the bed, humming to 'Million Dreams' from 'The Greatest Showman'. I know there are some prediction dreams but... Will my dreams come true?A simple girl like me who is talentless... I don't really believe it.

I closed my eyes and smiled. In my heart, I prayed that I will have a dream with Mark Lee.

I am walking on the street. Aimlessly walking.

Where am I? Where is this place?

I looked around.... Hangul everywhere. Walking and walking, I walked towards something I have only seen online.

'SM... Town? I am at Coex?'I walked back... In disbelief. I tripped over myself and fell on the ground.

Am I really in Korea? South Korea?SEOUL? COEX? FOR REAL??

I touched my face then the ground. I must be dreaming.

' Hey, are you alright?Did you hurt your ankle? 'a familiar voice asked me.

I looked at the person. Mark Lee. He reached out his hand to help me up.

This is too real to be true. What If I woke up from the dream after I touched his hand? Nonetheless, I still touched his hand so whatever if I really woke up.

I took his hand and got up the ground. My ankle hurts... It hurts even more in dreams?Ridiculous.

'여기.. 어디..?' (Where is this place?) I tried using my limited Korean to communicate with Mark.

'From your uncertainty in Korean, You must be a lost tourist... This is Korea..Isn't it?' Mark said.

'Wasn't I sleeping in bed?Today is Chuseok? 'I asked.

'Yea.. Today is Chuseok.'

WHAT.JUST.HAPPENED.

Next moment I know, I was sitting on my bed, panting from shock. I dreamt about Mark. I touched his hand and it felt so real!

What do you think is really happening? Is it plainly a dream or is it real? Tune in to continue the story!

2-Awaken

I looked at my hand in disbelief but brushed off the dream very quickly.

'I should ask my cousin when does she want to attend an audition of a kpop entertainment.' I told myself

'What? Today sign up? Okok.... I'm heading to your house right now.'

Today will be the day where my cousin and I film the audition video and send to a few companies we have in mind. I gathered my confidence and hit the send button to SM.

After a day of dancing and singing and filming, I lie on my bed once again. I looked through my Instagram.

'Oh...today is the full moon idol sports.. Mark be closing his eyes to hit the target again I guess.. But he is cute' I said to myself.

Weary and teary, I fell asleep in a wink of time as if a spell landed on me.

'NCT! NCT! NCT!' Fans are cheering.

I looked around.

'Isn't this the place where the full moon sports be held at? WHY AM I HERE?WHY DO I SEEM LIKE MARK IS MANWEOL OF HOTEL DEL LUNA AND I AM THE TREE AND LIFELINE OF MANWEOL OR EVEN KUCHANSEONG WHO WILL APPEAR BESIDE MANWEOL ALMOST EVERYTIME?' I must be in a dream again.

Nct 127 and Pentagon. 4th match. Archery.

Seriously? I'm going to see Mark shooting arrows? Arrows to my heart?

Mark looked towards us.. Where we fans are seating at. He stared... His eyes closing, scrutinising... He opened his eyes wide.

'Ah... The girl that disappeared out of nowhere yesterday is here... Interesting.' Mark said under his breath and smiled. 'But I didn't seem to have seen her here just now?'

Fans started going crazy as Mark smiled towards their direction.

'He must have noticed me.. Or not'I murmured.

Nct 127 goes on the platform to compete for archery.

It is Mark's turn. His nose scrunches up as he closed his left eye and shoot!

' I can't believe I saw this whole scene of Mark being cute while playing archery personally, in 'real'.. Oh not real. I think the time is up soon... I will be awake very soon. 'I told myself.

I breathed in deeply and opened my eyes. What a great dream it is...

Mark looked back at the audience seat where Nctzens are sitting at, she is gone once again. Mark sighed and unknowingly, has a feeling of sadness.

Giving a smile to the fans who noticed Mark's mild sadness, Mark knew that this girl is a Nctzen and pray that he will see her again.

Next Morning,

I looked through the videos of the full moon idol sports, Nct 127 playing archery to catch up on the results. They won Pentagon!I smiled,ear to ear. I am so proud of them! However, a thought came to me. I looked at the Nctzens slowly... I am there for a while and in the next video, I am no where to be seen! What is this?!
