Chapter 43: Group Stage (4)

Aerine's heart was beating so hard, but she knew that this wasn't all about her nervousness; her heart was beating loudly for something.

When she was a child, she was always asked by her mother what her dream was or what she wanted to do when she grew up. Aerine always answered the same thing: she wanted to be with her mother forever. 

In her over twenty years of living, her world was actually small, as though she were confined inside, but she was already content with it. After all, that was already part of her life. 

Aerine had never thought of what her dream was for herself or the future; she had yet to find them, it seemed. 

However, now that she was already standing in a bigger world—a much bigger world than what she used to—there appeared to be a call that was continuously whispering in her mind and heart.
