[A/N: I might publish the whole book tomorrow.]

Day five at Jeju Island.

The eight boys are still deep asleep. What happened last night drained them, especially Jake. He'll probably woke up late today.

They have an activity today but Mr. Kim excused them. Mr. Kim knows that they're not okay. The pain he felt when Engene died, he felt it again. But he chose to stay strong because this time, he's not tho only one whose suffering.

Suddenly, there's a sound that woke up the one of the boys. Someone was ringing the doorbell. Jungwon is the first one who woke up.

Jungwon stood up and lazily approached the door. When he opened it, he saw Mr. Kim.

"Oh, Jungwon"

"Mr. Kim.. do we have any activities today?"

"We do have one but you guys are excused. Would you mind telling it to your friends?"

"No, no. I'll tell them later"

"Alright. Thank you and sorry if I disturbed you"

"It's okay, Mr. Kim. Good morning" Jungwon lowered his head politely.

"Good morning" Mr. Kim greeted back and went back to his room.

Jungwon locked the door again and went back to the bedroom. He snuggled closer to Jay and went back to sleep. Jay felt his tiny movements beside him so he wrapped and arm around Jungwon and hugged him tightly.

Heeseung woke up around 10:00 am. There was a light that is coming from the big sliding door near their bed so he faced Sunghoon and buried his face on Sunghoon's neck.

Heeseung was about to sleep again but he heard Sunghoon groaned.

"H-Heeseung.." Sunghoon called. Heeseung immediately looked up and caressed his face.

"I'm right here, love. I'm here" Heeseung said but Sunghoon didn't heard him. Sunghoon kept on mumbling Heeseung's name. He's probably having a nightmare.

"Baby, wake up. Sunghoon, love, wake up" Heeseung slightly tapped Sunghoon's cheeks. Sunghoon opened his eyes and sat up, panting.

"Are you okay, love?" Heeseung asked and sat up. He warmly hugged Sunghoon and comforted him.

"Nightmare?" Heeseung asked. He felt Sunghoon nodded as he rested his head on Heeseung's chest.

"That's okay. I'm here, calm down" Heeseung caressed Sunghoon's back when he noticed that Sunghoon is still panting.

Sunghoon finally calmed down after a minute. He snuggled closer to Heeseung's neck to get some comfort. They stayed like that for a few minutes.

"Are you okay now?"

"Yeah.." Sunghoon answered and moved away.

"It's almost 11:00 am. I'll just cook food, love, you can stay here" Heeseung said. He kissed Sunghoon on the lips first before going out of the room.

Sunghoon just stared outside, zoning out. He can't forget his dream. It was Engene hanging on the ceiling. It terrified him to death and tried so hard to wake up. Good thing Heeseung is beside him, that's why he kept calling Heeseung's name.

Sunghoon tried to shake away his dream. He looked around and saw that his friends are still sleeping. He looked at Jake and saw him sleeping while hugging a pillow. Sunghoon felt so bad.

Once again, Sunghoon removed those thoughts and stood up. He brushed his teeth first and then went out of the bathroom.

When he went inside the kitchen, he saw Heeseung slicing some strawberries. Sunghoon quietly approached him and when he came close, he slowly wraps his arms around Heeseung's waist and rested his cheek on Heeseung's back.
