Dream in a Dream

~Without You~

*About a week later*

[Ten's POV]

"Hey Yuta. Where's WinWin?" I questioned him.

He picks up his phone quickly and places his hands back onto the keyboard, as he was playing League of Legends. "His class ends in about an hour. I have to pick him up since it's a bit of a far walk from here to there and I don't really enjoy him walking in the dark alone."

"Ah. Could I actually come with you to go get him?" He nods. ".....and can we all go over to Johnny? He could use his help with something."

"Yeah? Sure? What are you two planning on doing?" He somehow managed to talk to me and intensely play his game.

I sat on his bed behind him. "I know I say I never want to talk about it, but it has become too serious for me not to. Before the incident that happened to me, Johnny and I were dating."

Somehow out of everything I said since he has been playing his game that was enough for him to stop playing and turn to me. As he turned, I notice a smirk on his face grow and his face light up.

"WAIT. A. MINUTE." He grabbed his mic and said, "Guys I'm going AFK I'll be back." He turned off his game and then his computer. After he got up and jumped on the bed with me. "And why am I just now knowing about this! I'm your best friend!"

"I'm sorry. I don't know what past me was thinking but apparently he never told you, so I apologize for him." I laugh at myself. "But apparently we were and still are each other's firsts."

"Still are?! Like right now too?! Oh my god!"

"Yeah....." I responded shyly. "It's a long story, but we were talking. Mark told me that whoever hit me with that crowbar on that day must have planned it."

Now Yuta's eyes had widened. "But-"

"Yeah. We know. No one knew the weapon. Not even in the police report was a weapon identified. So obviously he knows something. But we're going to get clever before we confront him."

"I wanna help. Whatever I can do. Let me know." I nod my head at him.

"Well let's start with getting WinWin to Johnny's and we'll move forth from that."

"Bro. What the fuck. I've been blowing up your phone. What's your problem?" Mark barked at Johnny.

"Hey dude. Chill out." Johnny barked just as strong back to Mark. "I've been out all-day getting stuff for Ten. You know I've been planning this gift for a while."

"Ten. Ten. Ten Ten Ten Ten. That's all you talk about. Get your head out your ass and smell the roses, and I'm not talking about the shit ones you bought him. You guys aren't gonna last. I told you this. Your love ain't gonna last."

"Mark. What the fuck is your problem?" Johnny pushed him a bit making him lose balance. "Ever since Ten has come into both our lives you've been acting like a jerk. Ten has been nothing but nice to you. Even after the shit you said to him. So, what's up with you?"

"Me?!" He scoffed and laughed a bit. "I'm the problem?" He laughed at each word. "Maybe we should take some time away from each other for a bit, because this isn't working man."

Mark had avoided Johnny's eyes but for some reason he looked up to him. To his surprise Johnny's eye glistened with tears that almost filled his eyes. Mark wanted to open his mouth to speak but before he could Johnny's broken-hearted voice reached him.

"For once you've created a solution, instead of a problem. Thanks Mark." He turned his back and walked away from him. Yet Mark stood there. It wasn't until Johnny turned a corner Mark whispered out.

"I'm sorry. But it'll be for the best."

[Johnny's POV]

I was woken from my nap from pounding on my front door. I grabbed my phone and check the time. I can't be Ten. It's only 2 he said he'd be over around 4. My thoughts were interpreted by the pounding getting louder coming from my door. "I'm COMING!" I shouted, grabbing a shirt and putting it on. I walk over to my door and opened it. Yubin.

"Yubin?" I spoke. My eyes finally adjusted, and I could see her clearly. "Come in."

"I'm sorry for the pounding but your doorbell was not waking you up quick enough."

"Damn girl you got some muscles on you. I think you dented my door." We share a laugh.

"In all seriousness, I need to talk to you. I can't stay long but I felt like you needed to know. After Mark and I broke up he kept a few things of mines that I've been trying to get back for a year now. So instead of waiting for him to never give me my stuff back I went and got it myself. I found the old key he gave me to his place and went into his place."

"Wow. Breaking and entering added to the list. Interesting." I giggled at myself.

"Hey. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. But anyways I knew Mark was obsessed with something other than me when we were dating, hence the breakup. But honestly I didn't expect it to be this."

"What do you mean, Bin?" As I asked my question, she whipped out her phone and showed me a picture she had taken. I've never seen anything like this. Well, I have but this is something you'd see in a movie or a TV show hoping it was a fictional act that the director asked the actor to portray. Honestly, it's just something you'd wish you never see with your own eyes. "Yubin?"
