A cold forest

It's dark and cold. I'm freezing, my whole body is freezing cold. And my fingertips were turning from red to purple slowly. Where am I...?

The only light that is seen here is the spotlight which is focused on me somehow. Wherever I go it's with me, it is following me. I turn around to find an exit but every time I turn my back to one direction something appears. Trees and bushes were surrounding me and stars filled up the dark lonely sky above me. But out of all the little stars, there was one big star who came thru. But it seemed broken.

But something else caught my eye besides the star. A person, it seemed like a human but in the distance. in a little house I saw yeonjun-hyung. I walked towards the house to try and call for yeonjun-hyung. As I walked closer and closer I noticed Hyung's expression on his face. He was acting weird and his face screamed pain, embarrassment and anxiety. I started running towards one of the windows where I could look through. I tried yelling and slamming my hand against the window but it was no use. It was like I wasn't there.

He was suffering in pain. And I noticed little horns appear on his head. Was that hurting him? I needed to help him, so I ran to the door but it was locked. When I was back by the window, I couldn't see him anymore. But then I saw his feet sticking out from under his blanket. Before I knew it I fell through a black hole. And woke up again laying on the floor between a few bushes. I stood up and saw Yeonjun-hyung walking with a blanket and a torch through the dark woods. So I followed him, even tried to call him but it seemed like he couldn't see me or hear me. I felt hopeless.

After a few minutes of shouting and walking I gave up. it was useless, I felt useless. I looked at him sleeping alone with a little campfire. Why is this happening? I needed to do at least one thing. Maybe he would notice my presence even though he can't see me. I saw his fire starting to die so I quickly ran to his campfire and blew so it got bigger again. But I was too late and the wind blew it out before I could save it. But I couldn't leave him like this. So I quickly tried to find something to start the fire again. I had found some extra sticks and again started blowing and adding sticks to his fire. And after a few seconds, it started to burn again. Even though he didn't see it, he was now warm and a bit safer again.

Again I fell into a black hole but this time it was a different place in the woods. I landed on the soft moss and between a few trees. And I saw Yeonjun-hyung but in more pain than last time. His horns looked fully grown but more painful. He was crying and couldn't handle it anymore. He took one of the horns with his two hands and started pulling. The sound of the horn cracking and him crying was horrifying to listen to. He finally could rip one of them off and it started bleeding. His hands were full of blood and it was slowly dripping on the ground.

I had enough of this and decided to walk towards him. Tears of fear and sadness were running down my cheek. Step by step I tried to approach him and hoped he would finally notice me. Finally, when I was almost there he looked up. He was staring at me straight into my eyes with tears in them. I froze and didn't know what to do. He held out his hand to me and it looked like he tried to reach me or wanted to say something but nothing came out. I started to glow and I also held out my hand towards him but we were too far away from each other. But then I heard my name. Multiple times out from the distance.

Everything went bright. I couldn't see him anymore; he was fading away into the light. And so I woke up to his face. "Hey Soobin, wake up." he whispered. Everything was still a bit blurry but he was close enough to get recognized. "huh?" I was confused and didn't know where I was or what was happening. "Common Soobin, you need to get out." Yeonjun-hyung tried to pick me up and drag me inside. But everything went clear again. So I stood up and looked at him confused. "Where are we?" I asked him confused. "I guess you're an apartment." I heard another voice say. But it was a female. It was Re-nae, she was shivering and waiting at the entrance.

Was I dreaming? Was it all just a dream?
