"Mingyu! Come help me baby" a lady yelled from the kitchen, "yes mom" mingyu replied, running with his tiny feet towards the kitchen. "Look at what im cooking, your favorite right?" Ms. Kim asked, looking at his son with dearly eyes, "yes yes!" Mingyu answered as he picked up kitchen utensils in hopes he was helping his mom, which he wasnt but lets not break the poor boys soul.
The front door opened, the rug shuffling and shoes dropping, "im home" Mr. Kim made himself known, opening up his arms, waiting for mingyu to run and hug him. "Welcomee homee~!" Mingyu sing-songed as he ran towards his dad with big arms, and a wide grin on his face. "Miss me?" His dad asked, setting mingyu down on the couch, placing his suitcase and keys on a nearby counter.
Mr. Kim headed to Ms. Kim, skipping on the way, "hey" he started, back hugging mingyus mom and kissing her cheek all while mingyu was watching, the 6 year old pointed his finger into his mouth as he made gagging noises. "Eww, PDA police!" Mingyu yelled, giggling as he ran towards his parents to break the hug they were having, setting himself between them, he stuck both his hands on his hips "no kissing!" He demanded, brows furrowed together. "Okay gyu" his dad replied, messing up his hair before leaving a kiss on mingyus forehead, "im gonna change" Mr. Kim stated, heading towards the master bedroom.
"Hey mom, is the food doing good" mingyu tugged on the long dress Ms. Kim was wearing, trying to get her attention. "Yes baby" she replied, giving mingyu a big re-assuring smile before putting her focus back on the food. "Okay mama! Im going outside to play" mingyu said all giddy and happy, mingyus mom nodded, allowing him too.
He ran outside, a plastic bucket and shovel on his small chubby hands. "Hmmm" he contemplated, a small index finger laying on chin, trying to think of things to do. "Aha! Lets plant trees" mingyu decided, placing his bucket beside him, digging up a big hole.
Soon enough the hole was big, he stood up, patting his pants so that the dirt would fall off of him. He ran towards the closest bush, picking up a flower petal, "im sorry miss..daffodil? I need to borrow your hair" the small boy apologised to the flower, feeling sad that he hurt it.
He dropped the tiny petal in the hole he made before putting back all the dirt, he wasnt exactly planting the right way..but hes got the right idea? But who could tell the cute boy that petals dont become flowers and seeds do and break his tiny little heart? No one-
And so he continued his small mission, borrowing his mothers water sprinkler to water the the small 'tree' he just planted. He smiled, running back to his house to show his parents what he made.
Oh no
He entered the house with a wide smile, but that smile died down when he saw orange embers from the kitchen, his mom on the floor with her head laying on his dads lap as he tried to wake her up. Mingyu started getting dizzy, everything he saw blurred every 5 seconds, "mingyu! Go out! Leave!" His dad yelled very loudly, trying to save his wife but also trying to put out the big fire happening in their kitchen, but slowly lead to their living room.
Mingyu stood there, not knowing what to do, he was merely 6 years old, and the boy saw his parents struggling to escape the fire as they slowly breathed less...what could he do. "Dad..dad! Mom!" Mingyu yelled out to them, tears streaming down his face, "mingyu.. leave, save yourself, i will help your mommy okay?" His dad said calmly, despite the heat and fire increasing even more.
Mingyu ran outside, banging on his neighbours, screaming as more tears fell down his face, "help help help" he repeated again and again until someone went out, "mommy..and daddy!" He yelled, pointing at their house that was almost falling apart due to smoke. The lady immediately grabbed her phone, calling firefighters and an ambulance.
Mingyu watched..his parents being pulled out completely dead, his house that hes lived in all his life burn down, he stood there and couldnt move, no matter what he did he just couldnt. Tears streamed down his face and his breathing worsened, gasping in and out as he tried his best to get air.

Wonwoo woke up to muffled crying, hard breathing and wetness on the blanket sheets. He sat up, rubbing his eyes, he turned over and saw mingyu crying, but with eyes closed...he was asleep. Wonwoo started worrying, shaking mingyu slowly trying to wake the boy up.
"Mingyu, mingyu please wake up" wonwoo said, trying to get mingyu out of whatever dream he was having.
Mingyu on the other hand started crying even harder but at the same time struggled to do so as he couldnt even get one breath in, he was still faced with his mom and dad dead. the form he was in was now his present self, staring at his dead parents with black figures whispering "it was your fault" to him.
Wonwoo sat up completely, his hand holding mingyus cheek trying to wake him up, "mingyu..mingyu!" He yelled, shaking the taller by his shoulders. Mingyu gasped, his eyes now open, he jolted up, grabbing onto wonwoo, his hands clutching on wonwoos white shirt as he shed tears that fell on their white sheets, he cried his eyes out, another hand gripping on his chest, trying to take in air but couldnt because of the panic attack he was having.
"It was my fault!" Mingyu yelled, his voice sounding so broken, so painful. "All my fucking fault" he blamed himself again and again, tears welling from inside and coursed down his cheeks.
The older held mingyu securely, trying to calm him down. He knew about his parents dying, he knew how much his lover would blame himself about it despite it not being his fault, he knew how mingyu would change when he remembered what happened that day, and so he was crying aswell, feeling so bad for the latter.
Mingyu looked over at wonwoo, the older looking at him with a small smile, trying to calm him down. "It wasnt your fault mingyu" he re-assured him, "nothing was your fault" he stated, mingyu looked up at him, his eyes bloodshot, and his cheeks moist.
"But it was, it was wonwoo, i asked for help too late" he argued, mad at himself for not doing the things he could have done. "Mingyu..you were six, you did your best" wonwoo explained, hating the sight of his boyfriend blaming himself. "Calm down okay? Im here with you" mingyu tranquilled slowly but soon enough was calm. He layed back down on the bed, with wonwoo aswell.
His body facing up, one hand spread out as wonwoo layed on it. He chuckled quietly to himself, making wonwoo look up at him. "Im sorry" mingyu apologised, looking at their ceiling, his small smile disappearing slowly. "Why?" Wonwoo asked, drawing small shapes on mingyus stomach, still trying to calm the latter.
"For waking you up, i didnt mean to cry.." he laughed bitterly at the end of sentence, "but.." he trailed off, "but?" Wonwoo asked again, finding his way to mingyus hands to intertwine them. "But..the dream- or whatever that was, they died..and i stood there, i couldnt even move" he removed his fingers with wonwoos, bringing both his hands to his face, covering it in frustration.
"Mingyu..please stop blaming yourself" wonwoo said softly, removing the hands that covered mingyus face. "Nothing was your fault, you did what you could" he continued, leaving a small peck on the tallers lips. "But i cant help not too- i went out to plant some useless plant, i shouldve stayed with my mom" mingyu argued, sighing as he scolded himself for doing things he shouldnt have.
Wonwoo got up, placing himself on top of mingyus chest so they could look at each other in the eye. "But still, i know you love your parents, i know you do. But leave it in the past okay? I dont think Ms. Kim and Mr. Kim would like seeing their son blame himself for the rest of his life" wonwoo stated, looking at mingyus red eyes due to the crying. "Okay.." mingyu replied, putting wonwoo down and changed their positions.
He spooned wonwoo, the olders back pressed against his chest as he hugged him tightly. "Thank you" he whispered, his breath tickling the nape of Wonwoos neck. "For what?" Wonwoo asked, laying his arm ontop of mingyus arms. "For helping me calm down, i wouldve been breaking things if you werent with me" mingyu giggled, making wonwoo laugh as well.
"Lets continue our disturbed sleep then"
And with that, they slept in each others arms.
