Night 3 - 05:28

The wind brushed through Jisung's hair while he sat on the blue slide. He was on an empty playground that was surrounded by some trees.

The squirrel looked around curiously and figured that it must be situated in a quite open forest, as the sky was still very visible and the trees weren't standing close to eachother. The sky was filled with gray clouds, accompanied by cool gusts of wind.

Jisung looked down onto his lap and saw the white bunny he rescued from the attic. He stroke it's soft ears between his thumb and his finger. It made him feel relaxed, forgetting he was all alone in his dream again.

Jisung started to miss his friends appearing in his dreams and the fun they had together in these unlogical surroundings.

"You're quite late today", a familiar voice appeared next to Jisung.

Han looked up from the small animal to lock eyes with the owner of the voice.

"Oh- I'm sorry Lee Know", the boy apologized with round, flustered eyes.

"Sungie, you don't have to be sorry. It's your dream world, you can come whenever you want. I was just starting to miss you"

"Don't be weird again!", the boy protested, feeling his cheeks burn up once more.

"I'm not being weird. I'm your guide, I should want to be with you", Lee Know chuckled, stroking the bunny on Jisung's lap as well.

"Well.. I'm glad you're here actually", the boy stated with a low voice.

Lee Know looked at Jisung in interest.

"Why is that?", the guide smirked.

"I don't know, I've been feeling a little lonely lately..", Han spoke in an even lower tone, keeping his eyes locked on the small animal.

Lee Know studied Jisung's face carefully. The boy on the slide seemed nervous and avoided the other's eyes.

The guide hummed in response.

"I mean my friends aren't here anymore and I got that weird feeling from my room today. It almost scared me, you know", the squirrel continued shyly.

"I told you, it's not healthy for you to be alone all the time", Lee Know commented, not letting Jisung out of sight.

"But it's so strange.. Everything has always been alright since my parents left and now I wake up crying, not being able to walk around my own house and randomly finding animals in my attic"

"Maybe the bunny sensed that you needed someone", Lee Know responded, glancing down at the rodent.

Jisung laughed a little at that.

"No, but I don't know what's going on. I mean, it's only been two days since things have been a little weird. It's just that I've never felt like that before and I'm scared that I can't handle being alone after all"

"You worry very easily Jisung", Lee Know said, being straight forward.

"Ha.. I know..", the boy replied, lowering his head even more.

"I think you need something that helps you with your worries and fears. And I think I can be that for you"

Lee Know took his hand off the bunny and reached up to Jisung's chin and lifted it up, holding it between his thumb and his index finger.

Before the squirrel knew what was happening, he was looking into intense pink eyes. Jisung lost himself in the color for a moment, but realised what was going on soon after.

His cheeks instantly fired up, visibly colouring them in a deep red. His breathing took on a much faster pace, so did his heartbeat.

He would be lying if he said that Lee Know didn't look handsome. Actually, if Han gave it a better look he would notice that the guide looked to die for. But he avoided giving it more thought, as Lee Know was still his dream guide.
