The darkness kept approaching me swallowing the ground I just passed across. Also the grunt of nature was threatening me from running away. Why was that following me? What did I do wrong?

I tripped. My knees were slashed opened cause of the friction with uneven earth surface. I couldn't just lay down there and wait for it to come and crush me. I needed to run to survive

Why was I not able to move? Can my legs not still there? Can I be more dumb? Run! Run! RUNNNNNNN!!!!!

“ Hey, I'm here. I'm here, okay? ”

He helped me get up from the ground at the same time when the grunt of beast faded into the darkness. His touch was softer than before, I  realised him but he wasn't who I expected him to be

“ Se-Sehun! ”

" Hey, hey, what'd happened? What's wrong? "
My breaths sucked sharply into my throat according to the fear of the nightmare I just escaped. That was insane. It'd been a long period without nightmares in my sleeps since highschool. I thought I could escape and conquer my deepest fear but now it came back, just like the appearance it used to come at my bad memories of childhood

The same nightmare during my 7 years old age, right after mom passed away

That's impossible. Same dream came back to say hello to me and why when I was just finding happiness. And another thought hit me hard in my chest when I remembered those eyes of him while staring at Chanyeol's worried eyes set. He just came into my dream. May be it was just a random dream my brain produced

It regretted me thinking of other man in front of the man who was worried about me, and worsening when that man was just looking me and only me. I shrugged those thoughts and accepted the glass of water he extended to me. The flow of cool water messaged every wall of my throat and freshened my exhaustion immediately

" Are you ok? "
His tone was laced with calmness and softness tending to at least lessen my tiredness with his sweet voice. His hand was playing up and down on my back bringing me closer to his chest every past seconds

" I'm fine, Chanyeol. I'm fine "
I struggled to escape from the skin contact, not that I disliked skinship with him, just I gotta gather my instincts alone on myself. His expression again overwhelmed with worries as soon as his grip was broke from my body. Whatever happened in my dream, it affected upon my mood for sure and I couldn't deny the fact that I had a scowl upon my brows

" Why would you say you're fine when you're obviously not? "
His remark completely flayed the protection upon my feeling right away. I knew he'd listen to me if I opened up, but I still wanna maintain some aspect of my weakness as a pride

* You know too much, Chanyeol. Too much *
Sitting up straight, I reached towards the nightstand where the water existed, and poured myself another glass of water to at least have an excuse to avoid his question

" Hey, I.... love you "
The rasp was running upon the key of the words and my heart was beating unrhymed with my brain. I didn't look back. The deep meaning of those words beat me up to death and I could say I was embarrassed or reddened

His arms approached around my body, staying contact with my skin to his bare chest simulating a heavy heat of his heart with mine. I never thought every morning, I was hearing those words in reality not in dreams. So it's true. He'd been saying those confession since day 1 of our marriage. It's non of my imagination or hallucination. It wondered me to keep hearing the same words every morning but now everything got revealed and the owner of those sweet nothings was non other than Chanyeol
