While you were sleeping

part 1 hi my name is…

Summary: Anna by chance saves her prince charming from being throttled over by an oncoming train on Christmas day itself. She gets mistaken as his secret fiancee and gets accepted quickly by his family, something she never had. Pretending as his fiancee, she falls deeper in love with her comatose prince charming, and falls deeper into lie.

'Tick tock tick tock' Any moment now… I'm sitting in my ticket booth, looking at the clock, willing the second hand to quickly hit 12. -strikes-

Finally its 7am and there he is, right on time. Oh my god, he looks just as gorgeous as every other day I see him. He's walking over right now. He is smiling thanks at me as I handed him his ticket. 'Wow! He looks even more gorgeous when he smiles, just like prince charming, my prince charming.' I smiled and sighed dreamily, sinking into fantasy.

"Hey miss! Will you hurry up with my ticket? I'm in a rush here." grumbled the guy after my prince charming has left.

"Alright! Alright! Here you go!" I retorted, annoyed, as I dished out his train ticket onto the metal plate.

The peak hour has finally passed and I am back to rot in my ticket booth. Yet I feel so delightful that I saw him today. How I wish I can take a picture of him and keep it in my wallet so I can see him everyday. I guess I can keep on wishing.

Today is Christmas Eve and yet I'm working in this rut of a train ticketing booth. And I'm working tomorrow as well. The captain knew that I didn't have any relatives around so I have no one to celebrate Christmas with. That calculative miser is simply making use of me to mend the booth so that he does not have to personally mend the booth tomorrow.

But might as well. Spending the day in the booth will make the day pass by faster, hopefully. At least I will have something to do. Or probably I will be saying 'hi' to the air. No one goes out on Christmas. Everyone's celebrating with their friends and family. I felt myself getting depressed and shook my head. I should focus on happy thoughts.

Maybe tomorrow something great will happen to me. Like telling prince charming my name and wishing him merry Christmas. Looking across the train platform, I see no one. Good. I whipped out my compact mirror and practiced speaking to my reflection.

"Hi! I'm Anna Kyouyama and I wish you and very merry Christmas!"
