The phone blasts to the tone of TVXQ’s Break Up the Shell. She reaches out to the source of the sound, claps a hand over the offending thing to silence it. This exercise is repeated over the course of 5 times with another four different blaring tones. A sleepy eye opens blearily to the last round to catch a look of the time. A quick topple out of the comfortable nest of warmth in the blankets into the freezing cold jet of water from the shower jolts her into reality that so resembles her dreams.
