Chapter #5Sanctified shoe smell by: Juliet   Something smelled weird. You groggily rubbed your eyes and inhaled again, each sharp sniff latent with the musty scent that had awakened you. Yawning, you slowly opened your eyes and looked for the source of the odor.
But your surroundings provided no answers, only questions. Your jaw quite literally dropped as you were met with the surreal sight of an enormous cavern, draping walls of black dripping with moisture and dotted with misshaped fuzzy stalactites. The sight made the smell grow worse, more pervasively intrusive into your nasal passage, making your head spin as you craned it left and right and tried to understand where you actually were. In the distance was a magnificent window of light, a gaping mouth back into the surface, shaped like the opening of a shoe, and as your gaze returned back to the walls of the cave, you saw the telltale white tag plastered right beside it.
Your brain struggled to process what it was seeing, something like a white poster with unfamiliar text on it, only recognizable as Korean to you because of your passing interest in K-pop. Gears shifted and clicked into place in your dumbfounded little head as the cumulative sights came to reveal to you exactly where you were: a Korean person’s shoe.
So obviously you now realized this was a dream, all fear and uncertainty fading as reality was elucidated to you. Standing was difficult as the moist insole squished under your feet, and little puddles of what you now understood as sweat cropped up like springs of freshwater as you awkwardly plodded toward the mouth of the shoe. You’d liked to have gotten something of a glance at what was outside.
But as you slowly navigated your way to the other end of the shoe your own pondering was interrupted. Echoing through the miasmatic chamber was suddenly a woman’s voice, expectedly in Korean, but somehow a familiar voice nonetheless. Two girls chattered, the deeper voice of the two coming closer and closer to wherever you were. Now all too curious you started a mad dash to see whoever was standing above you, at least to catch a glance before it was potentially replaced with a foot.
And as the roof of the shoe deobfuscated and two legs were exposed beyond the crest the low-angle profile of someone you unquestionably knew was revealed to you, oh you definitely knew her and this was definitely a dream, because it didn’t make sense for you to have teleported into the shoe of Momo Hirai unless you were living out a fantasy in your own little dream world.
Through the mouth of the shoe she towered over you like a picturesque figure of imposing beauty, positively all too big for you to comprehend but at a size that made her presence oddly more enticing. Like the size someone of her celebrity deserved, certainly proportional to the desire you felt in your mind. You traced up her bare legs to her black shorts and past a striped red and white shirt to stare at the lower half of her face that wasn’t obscured from your perspective. Momo was still talking to someone, maybe someone else in TWICE.
Your heart fluttered and rushed as the idol looked down at her shoe, part of you wanting her to acknowledge you. Dream or not, you were feeling starstruck, and beginning to forget your position in her stinking shoe. Were her eyes locking onto you, or merely looking at her shoes so she could put them on? You held your hands to your mouth in anticipation as Momo began to move again.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
