The day after a sleepless night is not the best. Jungwon knew it. There were dark shadows under his eyes, he was tired, every now and then he was yawning, and no matter where he was, he felt that he could fall asleep at any moment.

The boy was now at his last exercise. He put his chin on his hand, and his eyes were closed, only opening them from time to time when he felt he might fall asleep.

When they were over and Jungwon was about to go to his room, Chan stopped him. "Are you okay? You don't look very well." He said slightly worried.

"It's okay. I just didn't sleep well." The boy explained, rubbing his eyes, which were slightly red because he did it often.
"The nightmares are back?" Jungwon didn't answer, just nodded.

"Do you want to talk about them?" "Not yet. Maybe in a few days." The older nodded understanding.
"I'll be waiting."
"Alright." Jungwon replied and then went to his room.

The boy sat on his bed and leaned his back against the wall, closing his eyes for a short moment. When he realized he was about to fall asleep, he quickly opened his eyes. He didn't want to have nightmares again.

Jungwon had them since he was a kid, so he should practically get used to them but this is difficult when each time someone from his loved ones suffers or these are memories that he doesn't want to remember.

The boy sighed deeply. After a while, he heard the sound of the door opening.
"Are you okay? Yeonjun hyung came up to me and asked if i know something about your nightmares..? Is everything okay?"

"I'm fine, don't worry."
"Really?"
"Mhm." Jungwon nodded.
"Well, I don't think so. Tell me what's wrong." Ni-ki said as he sat beside Jungwon. "What kind of nightmares was hyung talking about?

"You wanted to go to the park today, didn't you?" Jungwon ignored the younger's question.
"But-"
"Come on."
Ni-ki sighed and watched as the shorter one put on a hoodie.

"It's my hoodie." Ni-ki said, smiling.
"Really? I'm sorry." And as Jungwon was about to take it off, Ni-ki stopped him.
"No, no, it's okay. You can have it."

The boy then put on his shoes and waited for a short moment by the door for the younger one.
"I'm not waiting." He teased and slowly got out of the room. When he was halfway to Yeonjun's room, Ni-ki joined him.

When they were at the door, Jungwon turned to the younger one.
"I knock you speak." Ni-ki laughed a little and then nodded his head. The boy knocked and waited for Yeonjun to open the door.

When he did, Ni-ki asked if they could go out. Yeonjun looked at the clock.
"Alright, you have two and a half hours." The boys nooded their heads and then left.

As Ni-ki was about to turn in the direction of the way to the park, the boy felt hold on his wrist.
"Uhh.. I need to go somewhere so.. you can go to the park and I'll catch up with you.."

"I'll go with you, only if you want." Ni-ki said smiling.
"Oh, um, yeah, let's go." Jungwon awkardly tugged his hand. He didn't expect the younger one to want to go with him. But after all, it's Ni-ki.

They walked for about 7 minutes and during this time, Jungwon didn't realized that he was still holding the younger's hand until Ni-ki scratched his nose.
"Sorry." Jungwon mumbled and let go of his hand.
