Mystified Time (Heesun Au)

Chapter 2: The Sunset

Dreams cost Years, Months, Weeks, Days, Hours, Minutes, and Seconds, In short Time. Do you think Consumed Time is worth for your dreams? How so?

Everyday is a new day, where we expect or just don't expect what could possibly happen on that day; Some loves the Sunrise but doesn't love it when it sets because a day is about to end, they live in a fantasy where they are the controller of this dream and those who loves the sunsets mostly doesn't have time to see the sunrise because living in the reality is reality.

Xai Celestine a former worker who suffered from his past traumas, 24 years old, aCafé owner of a Famous Café that is a hit from the Social Media. He was an Orphan who got adopted by the son of the orphanages Owner, who lives his life being supported by his adoptor and is a former worker who worked hard where Clyde also works at the time and there they met for the first time.

Everything is Black from the floor, to the ceiling and to the walls, he is standing from nowhere, he started walking up front slowly, it was dark and scary but can't stop himself from being curious and approaching what is starting to glow in front of him, the further he goes the higher the pressure starting to be low on oxygen, as the pressure rises, he started to struggle breathing, as the white bright sphere having a force to pull him into it, trying to force himself out of the bright sphere, then suddenly the sphere turned black as arms that are black and white coming out from the sphere, grabbing his legs pulling him into the sphere, as he can't escape from the arms that are grabbing him, he screams, closing his eyes as everything turns black again...

He woke up with a scream, sobbing as his heart aches and feeling heavy, Clyde startled from the scream of Xai, he looked at Xai seeing him tearing up, he immediately hugged him tightly telling him
"It's okay Love, I am here, don't cry It's just a nightmare" 
as Clyde caress his head while kissing him on the forehead.

He would cry every morning every time he gets the same nightmare because of how it had a big impact on him from the very start, he misses the gentle touch of Clyde holding his cheeks, kissing them, and hugging him tightly, missing the moment where Clyde embraces him every single time, he really wishes Clyde would come back as his arms are always open for him to come back, waiting for his Moon to come back...

A moon that could light up his nights where everything is dark and a bright light would come at him, feeling loved, Clyde is a moon that can heal him, but the moon is always temporary right? It shows up on the sky revolving to our world where you are right now you only get to see the moon for about 12 hours but how long can this moon stay? His moon left, every night he had was dark with no bright light approaching him, feeling lonely, the moon stayed for a whole 1 year of nights, now it has left with no goodbyes.

He woke up hugging his pillow as he breathes deeply, crying and sobbing wishing himself that soon he can surpass this problem.
"I got the same dream again, when will it stop... I really do miss you Clyde, when will you come back?" He spoke while having trembly voice while he's sobbing. Sunny wished so bad that Lee could come at his place on this hour but they're not together anymore. Suddenly Flashes back to the past.
