"taecyeon?" junho said. "taecyeon, wake up , please."

"what is it?" taecyeon mumbled, still half asleep.

"i- i had a nightmare." junho said.

taecyeon was instantly awake. he knew how horrible nightmares could be. he used to have some when he was small and he still did sometimes.

"are you okay?" he asked. "did you drink water?"

"y-yeah. i....uh....actually wanted to ask you something." junho said.

"what is it?" taecyeon asked.

"i'm really scared....so...um...can i... aish shit how do i say this?" junho said, exasperated with himself.

"its okay, tell me." taecyeon said.

"can i sleep with you?"

taecyeon blinked.

just blinked.

"you-you want to sleep with me?" taecyeon asked.

"y-yeah, if thats fine with you." junho said.

"no problem. you can." taecyeon said, patting the empty side of the bed. junho climbed in bed and taecyeon shared his blanket with junho.

soon they both went back to sleep. taecyeon lightly patted junho's head, and junho smiled. he liked how caring taecyeon was. it was like he was with a best friend.

"can i ask you something?" taecyeon asked.

"sure." junho said.

"what kind of nightmare did you have?" taecyeon asked.

"nothing, it was just some memories. memories of my family being killed." junho said.

"oh, i'm really sorry to hear that." taecyeon said. "who killed your family though?"

"i don't know." junho said. "although i wish i did."

"was it a serial killer or someone?" taecyeon asked.

"i don't know. i didn't see the person very clearly. i ran away and hid behind a bush and saw my family being killed. it was horrible. the only thing i remeber about the man is that he had red hair and he had lots of tattoos." junho said.

something about the man having red hair and lots of tattoos rang a bell in taecyeon's head. "what about something else? like his facial features or something like that. do you remember anything?" taecyeon asked.

"i'm sorry, i don't know. i can't remember- oh wait! i can! i remember something else too. even though the killer was wearing a black mask and a cap, i could easily see that he had really bushy eyebrows."

taecyeon smiled to himself in the darkness. he now knew who this person was.

 he definitely did.
