My eyelids fluttered gently as I adjusted to the sunlight seeping through my curtains. I rolled over to my side where I felt Beomgyu sleeping. I wrapped my arms around his slim waist and nuzzled my face into his chest.

''Goodmorning,'' He smiled. I kissed him on the lips before sitting up. As much as I wanted mornings like this to last, I still had work, and so did Beomgyu.

''What do you want for breakfast?'' Beomgyu asked as he stretched.

''Anything is fine. Whatever you make is wonderful." He blushed and smacked my chest.

''Pancakes it is then.''

I followed him down the golden staircase that led to the also gold kitchen. He started making pancakes as I poured us coffee. I saw him shut one of the drawers quickly before returning to the pancakes. I wonder what that was about.

''Here, bon appetit!'' He said placing a plate of pancakes onto the large gold table.

''Thanks, they look amazing." I said pulling him close to me and placing a kiss on his lips.

''Eat your breakfast tyun,'' He said in an attempt to scold me. Cute, I thought, how did I get blessed with the best boyfriend?

''Tyun,'' I looked up at him, ''You should stay with me today.''

''I wish I could, but you know we have work.'' I said.

''Please stay,'' He sounded more desperate this time.

''I can't,'' I said sadly.

''I said STAY.'' He banged his fist on the table. ''STAY!''

What the hell? Wait a second, how did I even get here? I realized I didn't have any memories before this morning. And now Beomgyu was acting crazy.

''Hey calm down...'' I backed away from the table slowly, realizing everything was wrong here. What had originally seemed like paradise was now crumbling, literally. The walls made of gold were melting and everything that had seemed so beautiful now seemed absolutely terrifying. I have to get out of here, I thought. I ran out of the kitchen and passed the huge staircase that was melting to the floor. The gold double doors were now in my view, but as I looked back I saw Beomgyu chasing me, a crazed look in his eyes. I ran faster and threw the doors open looking back at Beomgyu one more time. I knew it wasn't real, but it felt so good. To love him and him love me back. I took a deep breath and ran out slamming the doors behind me. As soon as I hit the snow outside I felt like I had been revived.

I sat up abruptly gasping for air. I frantically looked around, seeing the worried faces of the others looking back at me.

''What happened?!'' I asked, looking back and forth between them all.

''You just passed out... we didn't know what to do.'' Soobin said. Yeonjun was holding the back of my head, which I now realized was bleeding.

''Careful, you hit your head pretty hard.''

''Did you see anything when you passed out?'' Beomgyu asked. I looked up at him, searching his eyes. They looked so beautiful and sparkly in the gold lighting. Would I ever be able to look at him the same way?

''Yeah... I think it was my test. It wasn't a fear though, just like... a crazy dream.'' I said, remembering everything that happened.

''Well that's good- not that y'know, you had to go through whatever happened in your dream, just that now we can look for the door." Kai said.

Everyone nodded.

''Hey, should we stay the night here? I'm sure there are bedrooms, it might be nice to sleep in a real bed." Soobin suggested.

''I agree, my back could really use a comfortable sleep." Yeonjun said, twisting his back. Loud cracks were heard.

"Definitely. First though, let's get your head cleaned up." Beomgyu said to me. "There must be some supplies somewhere."

''Yay! Let's go explore this place!" Kai said. Yeonjun ruffled his hair, muttering, cute, under his breath.

Beomgyu and Soobin helped me up and we searched around for a bathroom or something.

"Here,'' Beomgyu led me into a large, gold bathroom.

''Sit here,'' He said, gesturing to the sink. I hopped up onto the sink as Beomgyu grabbed a towel and soaked it in the water from the faucet. He put it against the back of head, the cool water dripping down my neck.

''I was worried about you,'' He said, breaking the silence.

''I'm fine now.'' I put my hand on top of his cold one. He smiled shyly.

''What was in the dream?''

"You." He paused for a moment before continuing to clean the cut on my neck.

There were a few moments of silence.

"What about me?'' He asked.

''I can't tell you,'' I said like he did earlier. He scoffed. "What was in your vision?''

Once again it was silent. He walked right in front of me looking me straight in the eye.

''Us kissing.'' He said softly. I should have been more shocked, but I didn't mind the idea of it. Our faces moved closer together. I could feel the heat radiating off of him as his breath gently hit my lips. I glanced down to his soft lips before looking back into his eyes. I was about to go in when we heard a knock on the door. We quickly pulled away as Soobin walked in.

''We found bedrooms! Yeonjun suggested we sleep together, just to be safe. There are two rooms so I assume we can split up into those." Soobin said. ''How's your head Taehyun?''

''I-It's fine.'' My voice cracked a bit. I felt Beomgyu apply a bandage before following Soobin out of the bathroom. I let out a breath I was holding before heading out as well. We walked up the grand staircase to a hallway with several rooms.

''All of these were locked except these two,'' Yeonjun said, poking his head out of one of the rooms.

''I call this room!'' Kai said, peeping out of the other room.

Soobin ran into that room along with Yeonjun who had also claimed the room.

''I guess we'll take this one then,'' I said. Beomgyu nodded shyly, a small smile on his lips.

In the room was a large king sized bed. And guess what color it was? Gold. I was starting to get sick of the shiny color.

Beomgyu flopped backwards onto the fluffy bed, wiggling around and giggling.

''Tyun, it's so soft,'' That nickname...

I felt butterflies in my stomach when he called me that. I laid down on the bed next to him almost crying at how good it felt.

''Woah, that is soft." We sighed contently. Beomgyu scooted a little closer to me and sat up. I sat up as well.

''About earlier-'' he started, before I just said fuck it and kissed him. I pulled him in by his waist and he responded by putting his arms around me. I deepened the kiss, enjoying how wonderful it felt. I knew I was falling deep, but I didn't want to stop. He pulled away after some time and I rested my forehead against his. He panted slightly and smiled.

''Tyun, I like you,'' he whispered.

''I like you too,'' I felt giddy. Like nothing could make me feel bad right now, not while I held Beomgyu, in this overly gold mansion.
