LONG JOURNEY 📌 hongjoong x seonghwa

Chapter 22

"Let's calm down first, dont panicked. Maybe it is just a start off something coincidence" Hongjoong give an assurance. Even if he know only a child could believe his lie, he just left the table early and start to open his laptop back. 

Seeing Hongjoong look relaxed, everyone left a sigh and continue with the work. Yunho headed to the dance practice room and he start to dance. Not long after, Mingi met his pace and they practiced together. 

"Do you think its weird? i beginning to feel afraid to sleep" Mingi ask. Giving him a full of confuse look. Yunho look at him and shrug his hair. "Don't worry, if you cant sleep.. why dont you come into my room and sleep with me?" Yunho give suggestion. With that, they both laugh together. 

--

"Hongjoong?" Hwa knock a little, before enter the room with a yogurt. Hongjoong nod and reach for the yogurt and hold Hwa's hand, caressing his. "I also had no idea its happening. Maybe tonight, if i am meeting them again i can properly ask" Hongjoong let out an idea. Seeing Hongjoong worried, Hwa had no other choice to help except for hugging him. 

Hongjoong lead Hwa's hand and let him seat on his lap, scrolling toward his laptop he open his document and its full of demo. Hongjoong take a headphone and wear it to Hwa. Clicking the most recent ones and it began to play. Hwa look with a delighted eyes "Its really good, what its title?" he asked. 

"I havent decide it yet. Probably it become our debut song, but it is a demo and i want to change a bit later. Is it good?" Hongjoong said and Hwa nod while hugging him. 

That night, Hongjoong sleep soundly beside Hwa. As usual, he would hug him and they both share a blanket together, squeezing each other. That night, everyone would sleep soundly, Mingi really ask Yunho to ask him company for sleeping so Yunho let him do as he said. 

That night, Hongjoong entered the same cave again. Since he already know, he take caution when taking steps. Up in the wreck ship, he saw the mirror but it was already become one, a whole mirror. Hongjoong touch it and it shows another version of him, smilling. 

"I thought you never come back?" The mirror ask. 

"You peek into every ones of my member dreams, are you sure you dont want me to come back? Who are you?" Hongjoong ask back. Clenching his palm. "I am you, the past you." He look straight into Hongjoong's eyes, glaring at him before continue his saying. "I come to give you a warning, the future are seeking for you. Or to be exact, a payment". The mirror start to change its outfits, revealing its pirate dress and it shows he was a captain. With a fur clothes around his neck and a tattoo of a word "freedom" place on his arm. 

"One's of my member had made a deal with the black devil. The you now is the present and the future one is the black devil. Me, is the past one. "

Shaking his head again, Hongjoong try to connect the dots. So he assume they had a 3 version, which is past, present and future. Seeing how desperate past Hongjoong look to give warning, Hongjoong try to trust him. 

"What does they want from us?" Hongjoong ask. 

"Since one of the member betrayed us, the Future ask to give payment which i figure it might be a real treasure. Our ship was wreck by them, and so they hold hostage one of our member soul in the mirror making us can't enter the endless sea. I search for a whole way and found out that we had another version of us that might be a help. That's why i need to find you" He explained. 

"How do i find the treasure?"

"About that.. i think you need to figure out yourself since i also don't know. I paid a lot already including my own soul." With his last word, he disappear. Leaving Hongjoog alone in the wreck ship and he awake from his dream. 

Seonghwa look at him, waiting until Hongjoong open his eyes. Today, he sleep a little more than usual so Hwa look worried. As he open his eyes, it capture Hwa's so he reach to Hwa's neck and kiss him. Hwa was shock by his action then he continue to close his eyes and let their breathe intertwined until they felt each other. 

"Do you had an answer?" Hwa ask. Hongjoog only give a stare before nodding.
