"And remember, on my birthday you gave me a piece of paper and asked me to write my happiest moment?"

"I remember. What did you write?"

"Two things. Two dates. The day when we debuted and the day we started dating."

"The second thing, is it really one of your happiest moments?"

"It is. I love you. Good night, Minnie."

Minnie...

The 1st of April, 2018.

It's been 10 months since Eunwoo and Bin started dating. They went through a lot because of the problems at the company, but one thing that didn't change was that they were together. All of them. Although Bin had one problem and it was bothering him for a month now.

Nightmares.

He couldn't even think that he'd get a flashback in his dreams. His past comes for him while he's sleeping.

He had his first nightmare after a month of dating Eunwoo. It was about their couple. More precisely, it was about Eunwoo rejecting him. Sometimes there was another pattern of Bin's dreams when he was desperate and kept crying in the darkness. It was a real flashback, it did happen to him in real life a lot of times. And that was today's dream again. He woke up in the middle of the night and saw Eunwoo calmly sleeping on another side of the bed. Bin was breathing deeply and erratically. He was scared and worried.

In the morning he felt sad and decided to talk to Eunwoo about his nightmare.

"You know, I thought it'd go away."

"What exactly?"

"My pain."

"What's happening?"

"Unhappy memories keep coming back."

"Are you okay, babe?" Softly asked Eunwoo as he sat on the bed and put his hand on Moonbin's back.

"I am not." Bin's tone rose as he jumped up from the bed, spreading his hands. Eunwoo was shocked, he didn't know what happened to his boyfriend nor what he should do to calm him down. "Eunwoo, listen, I'm sorry but can we take a break?"

"Bab-"

"Don't call me like this anymore. I'm serious. It's hard. I need to work on this problem otherwise I won't be able to move on."

The older didn't want to believe it, he tried to deny it.

"Give some time. You said you'd support my decision. I know it wasn't about this situation but now I'm asking for your support, I don't want to hurt you."

"But you won't. We can work on this together." Eunwoo stood up and was about to take Moonbin's hands to hold it but was immediately stopped by the second boy. They kept looking at each other with watery eyes. Bin broke the silence by slamming the door when he left the room.

The next whole week there had a tense and depressing atmosphere at home. Even the other members felt bad for binwoo but tried to make them smile, think positively, think about other things.

Today they had a day to relax but life had other plans.

Five of the boys were playing games in the living room and only Bin was staying in the kitchen, drinking milk, scrolling down his Twitter timeline when he received a call. After 10 seconds he quickly stood up so the chair fell and the members turned their heads to look at him. After another 10 seconds, Bin hang up and ran to the front door, grabbing his jacket oh the way.

"Hey!" Someone shouted but it was late, the door slammed. Despite that, Jinwoo threw the pillows and stood up from the lotus position. He tried to catch up Bin but the younger disappeared.

"He isn't there, is he?" Asked Sanha as the leader closed the door.

"No. I'll call the manager, maybe he knows anything."

"I hope he's okay," said someone, and other members agreed to his words. Eunwoo's gaze was empty, he had no idea where Bin could go.

After 30 minutes Jinwoo got a call.

"Jane?"

"Jane?!" Rocky repeated when Jinwoo accepted the call.

"Yes, it's me, guys! I'm back in Seoul but now I'm in the hospital-" The girl couldn't hold her tears anymore.

"It's okay, take a breath, keep talking."

"Jun, he- he was hit by a car." Her voice broke and tears started falling again.

"Tell the address of the hospital."

The boys immediately went to the designated place without wasting a second.

Jane and Jun were twins and they accidentally met the boys on the street near Fantagio. It happened back in 2015. After a year Jane and Jun moved to the USA with their parents, the boys debuted and all of them barely had time to chat, although they did so from time to time until last year. For some reason they stopped talking to each other, they didn't fight, no, they just had difficult times.

The boys arrived at the hospital and after a few moments made their way to the corridor where they saw Jane crying in another boy's arms who was standing with his back to the members.

"Jane!" Shouted the leader while the boys ran up to her.

Jane's face, reddened from tears, appeared from behind the guy, he released her from his embrace and turned around.
