Hope when the crowd screams out

It's screaming your name

SUNOO POV

I woke up with a start, cold sweat drenching my body. I had a bad dream...

I sat up straight and checked the time on my phone, "2:06 a.m." It was the dead of night, so how were the lights on? From the translucent curtains of my window, I could see a flickering glow on a window of the girls dorm building, right in front of mine.
