Day 10 - [Timeskip]

Since Jisung had woken up crying and out of breath from his dream a week ago, things got even worse. On that day, he had been way too late for school, which earned him three hours of detention (sadly this time Mr. Im wasn't the detention teacher though).

However, he couldn't concentrate the whole day, as he was stressed out by the fact that he couldn't remember anything at all - for the second time. All he saw, once again, was Lee Know's face and the way he always looked at him.

It had sunken in with the boy that there was no one to help him tore himself from his neverending thoughts and fears. He started to feel lonely in class as well, which added to his anxiety so much that he was unable to focus on the lessons anymore.

Jisung tried to get away from the feeling of loneliness and insecurity he had because of never remembering the nights before. The boy felt so unsure of what to think or do, he just focused on making it until the lunch break so he could see his friends again.

Even though Jisung desired to tell his friends about his feelings, as they were starting to eat him up, he was scared. He knew he could trust them with everything and talk to them, especially Felix, whenever he needed to without them judging him.

Though, he didn't want to sound like a fool infront of himself, when the insecure boy talked about feeling lonely in class while all of them had - to Jisung - much more important problems.

He did text with them as well, but it didn't help with Han feeling left alone in this house. Plus, he didn't want to be annoying or make his friends worry for "no reason".

That's why no one knew that Jisung was suffering every time they had to tell him that they were too busy with school work and other assignments to spend time with him after school. It wasn't like Han had much more time to spare himself, but as soon as he was done with school work at home, loneliness crept under his skin.

The boy tried to compensate that by cuddling up in bed with his new rodent friend. Although it kind of worked, he could never get rid of the feeling that something was missing.

In fact, the small animal was the only being that made him forget about his anxieties and fears. It was weird, because nothing else could get rid of it the way the bunny did. Even his friends could only make his fears go away for a short amout of time, but after a few minutes Han's thoughts began to pollute his mind again.

When school started again after Sunday, he soon started to dread the upcoming weekend. He had spent it with nothing else but working on school projects and digging himself into his bed afterwards.

For Jisung it felt like months that he had spent running away from his fears and insecurities during this time. He began to take the bunny with him everywhere he went, as it was the only way for him to go around his own house without being scared.

Han had also named the little animal by now - his name was Leebit. For some reason it reminded him of Lee Know every time he looked at it. It must have had something to do with the fact that the guide had held the bunny in some of Jisung's dreams.

But maybe also it's that he felt as safe with Leebit as he did with the him. That's why the bunny's name was a mixture of Lee Know's name and the word 'rabbit'. It was still strange to Jisung however.

He still didn't know what he was feeling towards Lee Know. Of course he trusted him and felt safe with him, whenever the guide was there - but apart from that Jisung was really starting to crush on him.

If that was even possible, considering Lee Know was a being that solely existed in Han's dreams. He didn't know if it was really just the guide being Jisung's ideal type or if he did it on purpose, but the way Lee Know messed with him, flirted with him, looked and smiled and him - Jisung was perplexed.
