Accusation

Sunoo was so confused.

For some strange reason, he had been having a lot of deja vu episode that day.
Being the first to wake up and meeting with Jayoung in the kitchen, eating breakfast, going for a walk, noticing the window and trying to get inside that mysterious ceiling hidden room...

It seemed that all of these things were familiar to him. He knew them by heart somehow.

As if they had already happened.

Now, that was in fact impossible.

It was impossible, right?

Sunoo sighed and let Niki rest. The latter had shared he was having a headache and Sunoo had volunteered to bring him some soup.
At first he was reluctant to eat, but Sunoo had managed convincing him.

The young man left their shared room, planning to head for the kitchen, where he would wash Niki's bowl of soup.
However, as soon as he stepped outside, he noticed a detail he had never seen before.

Sunoo got closer, empty bowl of soup still in hand, but forgotten.

Against the wall on his right, the one that ended with the staircase, was a dressing table.

I remember you.

Several flashes of lost memory tried to find their way back to Sunoo's conscience, however it came out all Mixed Up, and Sunoo felt more lost than ever.
The only thing he was sure about was that he knew this dressing table.

He stepped closer, still deciding if it was safe touching it. Sunoo didn't know why, but the piece of furniture gave him the chills.
In fact, it scared him.

But it also called him.

Sunoo stood in front of it for a few moments before leaning forward and finally looking at his reflexion.

For a fraction of second, he saw himself differently.
For only an instant, he saw himself wearing a magnificent white attire, embroidered with gold.
Make up highlighted the features of his face and on top of his head, he had a...

A crown

However, all it took was a blink to make the image disappear and bring back his normal reflection. The one he knew.

He blinked once more and decided to check behind the dressing table. He didn't know why, but somehow it felt like he had to.

And it worked.

The was something on the wall. A mark that called Sunoo.

His trembling hand reached it, slightly pressing against it.
Instantly, Sunoo heard something coming from upwards. He looked up just in time to see a trap opening up on the ceiling and revealing a ladder.

His heart grew terrified but Sunoo went for it.

The first thing that he notified was the dirtiness of the ceiling room.
A lot of objects were scattered around, mostly old children toys and books. Plus, there was this pile of blankets near an armchair.

Wait

Sunoo carefully walked closer, holding his breath in.

These aren't blankets.

That's when it hit Sunoo.

It's Jungwon.

Heeseung was alone, for once.
It seemed that these days he was always with Sunghoon for some reason.
Not that said reasons were bothering him.
He quite liked the company.

Sunghoon was someone easy to talk to, someone who listened well. And Heeseung did have a lot on his plate these days.

For starters, he had been having such an annoying headache for days.
Then, he had experienced some weird dreams.
Sometimes, he'd see himself in some imaginary place, with strange objects around him that he didn't recognize. However, in those scenarios, he was surrounded by clothes, which he liked.
Sometimes he dreamed that he was stuck in some tunnel, unable to find the exit.

And yesterday, he had dreamed that...

Heeseung shook his head, he didn't want to remember his last nightmare. It was way too disturbing and scary.

There was no way Sunoo would attack him like that, right?

However, Heeseung did brush his fingers against his neck, where Dream Sunoo had bit him.

His eyes grew wide as his fingertips encountered two protuberances on his skin.

It's just your imagination Hee
You were thinking about your nightmare, so now your brain is making up the wounds.

At that very instant, Heeseung's eyes found their way to the dining room mirror. He got closer and watched his reflection in horror.

The two wounds were real.

He had been... bit.

Heeseung couldn't believe what was happening. Had Sunoo really bit him?
Was it something -or someone- else?

Heeseung felt overwhelmed, lost, and frustrated.
He wished his reflection on the mirror was his imagination, but it wasn't.

Out of despair, the young man screamed from the top of his lungs.

~

Someone was screaming downstairs, which brought Sunoo back to himself.
He was still in the ceiling room, however Jungwon wasn't anymore.

Even though Sunoo was sure he had seen Jungwon a minute before, it was clear that he was alone now.

Jungwon and his bloody neck had disappeared.

The only thing that witnessed the young man's presence in the room were the tracks on the dust.

Sunoo looked around closer, distinguishing two different footsteps, and two larger spots on the ground.

So I was here with someone, and we sat there, on the ground.

Sunoo breathed out in relief.

Okay, it means everything is okay.
I didn't harm anyone.

I just talked to someone here.
That's all.

Sunoo felt better. However, he needed to go check whoever had screamed.

He left the ceiling room in a hurry and ran downstairs, where everyone was.
As soon as Heeseung saw him, he gasped.
One of his hands were holding the side of his neck.

"It's you" he said with a trembling voice.
