THIRD PERSON'S POV

"Hyung."

The younger called him out. The two of them are laying in the same bed. And yet, their thoughts are very different.

"Hmmm?"

"Do you think soulmates really exist?"

Sunghoon knew it. Jungwon wants to ask him something. But he seemed to be hesitant. He understands it.

"Personally. I think yes. It's not just about my dreams. But something about the fact that someone out there is made for you. The one who really understands you with everything. The one who is willing to give their all to you."

"It must feel nice to have a soulmate."

"Jungwon. You're still young. Don't worry about it."

"Coming from a 23 year old hyung haha."

"This kid...."

Sunghoon just smiled. But a part of him agrees with Jungwon.

He calls the man in his dreams his soulmate and yet he don't even know if he exist.

'Daeyun..... Do you exist?'

Jake was in his sleep. The two went home already. And since he don't have any ideas to write yet, he decided to sleep.

'I'll just tell Heeseung hyung that I fell asleep tomorrow.'

He fell asleep. Thinking that he will have a good dream. But that's not what happened.

"Kyunghoon-ah! Where are you!!!"

"Yah! Kim Daeyun! Let's play hide and seek!!!"

The faces seemed to be so familiar. Two men, wearing traditional Korean clothing was chasing each other. All smiles.

"Don't hide to me! You know I hate his game!"

In an instant, the scene changed. War. There is a war. Cries everywhere. The forest is on fire. A lot of people are shouting.

"Daeyun-ah. Live okay?"

Jake saw the two again. Foreheads touching, they seemed to be in a cliff.

"I won't leave without you."

"You know that they will never approve us right?"

"But I love you."

"I love you too. But for your sake, we need to stop okay? Go."

Just when they're about to separate ways, Kyunghoon was shot. Right in front of Daeyun. He screamed.

"KYUNGHOON!!!!!"

Everything was too fast. One moment KYUNGHOON layed there, dead. The next thing was Daeyun. Falling to the sea.

"KYUNGHOON-AH!"

Jake sat up. His heart beating very fast. He glanced to his window.

'What was that?'

With wobbly legs, he went to grab a drink. He was trembling.

'Is that a dream?'

He sat on the couch. Staring into nothing, his mind drifted.

'What just happened? Was that a dream? Who are those people? Daeyun and K-kyunghoon?'

Just by the mention of the other boy, he felt a pain on his heart. He held it.

'If it's a dream. Why does it feels so real?'

He went back to his room. Surprisingly, he grabbed his notebook. And wrote a plot.

'Forbidden Love'

He woke himself up.

'What am I writing? A boys love? What?'

Even if he want to erase what he just wrote, he found himself staring at it.

'If Heeseung hyung will approve this, I think it's not bad to try.'

He layed back to his bed. He's scared. And he can't explain why. Something about his dream bothered him.

Trying his best to push all of his other thoughts, he closed his eyes. And he tried to fall asleep.
