Born From Kings - Minsung (Promise Sequel)

Chapter Fourteen

Minho woke up early in the morning before Hyunjin and looked over at the clock. There was still an hour left before he had to start getting ready for the day, so instead, he just turned over and went onto his phone, checking out all the things that had happened over the span of a night.

The first thing to come up on the news was news of the big new group in Korea, BTS of course. The following based on his recent searches. News of his father had been circling, something about a rumor that his step-mother was caught on the phone with him yelling. Then more about different idol groups.

Minho couldn't find it in him to care. He knew that the marriage between his father and his step-mother was mostly unhappy and mostly just for show as well. The image of a complete family had always been of utmost importance to his father. With Minho missing, he must have been strained with Minho's step-mother as well.

Turning over onto his side, Minho let his mind go to ease as he thought. What had his dream been about last night? It had not been horrific like the ones in the past. This time... there was a gentle scent to the breeze that he remembered, and the sounds of horses pawing at the ground. Lush green grass had been everywhere. Where was this place?

"Why... can't I remember?" Minho muttered, wracking his memory for a place that fit that description.

There was none.

Not thinking much of it, but highly disappointed that he could not go visit such a place in real life, Minho stood from his bed and started to get dressed. He was pretty sure that the next day would be the company's day off, a rare occasion that all the trainees celebrated. He would have to go in today and make sure everything was finished so he could enjoy his day off.

"Why are you getting up so early?" Hyunjin groaned, hearing Minho rustling around. Looking after his best friend, he sat up, his hair sticking up on the top of his head. "What time is it?"

"Time for you to get ready," Minho murmured as he started to change into his school uniform. Indeed, today would be a long day, he could already tell. His frustration with his dreams was increasing with no clear explanation in what they were trying to signify.

Hyunjun was finally getting read when Minho came out of the bathroom, ready to go. "I'll be heading out first!" he nodded and waved.

"Alright, see you after school."

"Yeah," Minho left faster than usual, desperate for some space to try and collect his thoughts that were escaping him.

There had been several dreams so far, each foggy, the faces of those around him blurred to a point that they were not recognizable. And yet everything seemed so... familiar?

By the time he reached his school on his motorcycle, he had already given up any hope in connecting this newest dream to the older ones. Everything didn't seem to go together. There were too many missing pieces to make sense of the full story.

The only things he could remember somewhat clearly were the settings. They were all clearly from a historical time period, but Minho didn't know enough to be able to pinpoint a certain period in time. But that could be changed.

Minho jumped off his motorcycle and hung his helmet from the handles before he jogged out of the parking lot and towards the school's library.

There were a few people inside studying up for an upcoming test that Minho had forgotten about. Minho paid them no attention as he went straight to the back and started looking for textbooks that might help him. Architecture would be a good place to start, as well as textbooks documenting the time periods themselves.

Right, there it was. Though there were only a few historical-based architecture textbooks, they were his best bet at the moment. Minho grabbed as many as he could hold without dropping them and moved to an empty table where he would be disturbed.
