Chapter 21

Peat returned with a glass of water and painkillers for Noeul. When peat entered, noeul was seen looking down while holding his head. Peat approached noeul while giving him medicine.

"Take the medicine first, eul ah... " said Peat. noeul didn't answer and just took the glass and medicine that peat brought. After the peat was finished, he took the glass back from Noeul and put it on the table. Peat was suddenly surprised when Noeul hugged him from behind.

"What's wrong?" Pete asked. Noeul just shook his head but his hug grew tighter. Peat thought that Noeul really needed to rest, so he delayed cleaning his clothes.

"Okay... let's sleep, you must be tired" said Peat and again Noeul didn't answer and just nodded. Peat turned off the light before he climbed into bed with Noeul in his arms.

In deep sleep peat dreamed, in his deep dream peat saw someone crouching while crying. Peat knew that figure. Peat approached the weeping figure and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Noeul.... why are you crying?" Asked Peat softly. Noeul was a little startled when he felt someone tapping his shoulder. Noeul looked up and he could see Peat was smiling at him. And when he knew that Peat was smiling at him. Noeul immediately ran and hugged him. while continuing to cry.

" Its okay ... Its okay.... don't cry anymore, I'm here now" said Peat while hugging Noeul tightly. Noeul releases Peat's hug.

"Are you done? ... why are you crying?" Peat said but Noeul didn't answer at all and suddenly Noeul choked Peat. Peat held Noeul's hand that was strangling him, trying to release Noeul's stranglehold.

"n.. nn.. noeul..." peat stammered, peat started to have difficulty breathing. Noeul looked at him crying, Noeul continued to strangle Peat while pushing Peat towards the abyss. And when it reached the edge of the ravine, Noeul pushed Peat. Peat fell, peat looked at Noeul and Noeul seemed to say something.

"... I'm sorry...but I have to do it..." said Peat imitating Noeul's lips. Peat kept falling and he closed his eyes to prepare to hit the sea below but when he almost reached the sea, someone grabbed his hand and pulled him.

" Please ...Help....him..." said someone who pulled him, Peat opened his eyes but the couldnt see the figure clearly.

" Help who ?? " Peat asked.

"You have to help him... before he disappears" said the figure, Peat raised his eyebrows confused.

"Yes i heard you ... but who should I help? Who will disappear?" asked Peat again.

"You have to help him soon.... before it's too late," said the figure again, peat annoyed because the figure didn't say who he should help.

"Who do I have to help? .... who are you anyway?" said Peat... The figure was silent for a moment before looking at Peat. Peat widened his eyes when he knew who the figure was helping him and asked him for help.

" Sky...." Peat whispered softly, Sky smiled weakly at Peat before he slowly disappeared.

"sky... wait... what do you mean? who should I help.... wait..." said peat but sky didn't answer because he had disappeared.
.
"SKY ....." shouted Peat opening his eyes, his body was sweating and his breath was wheezing. Peat looked beside him and he could see noeul still sleeping next to him while keep holding his arm.

"Just a dream..." Peat whispered. But somehow, even though it was just a dream, it felt very real to Peat when Noeul strangled him and Sky helped him. This is the first time sky has entered his dream, even though all this time no matter how hard peat calls sky, sky doesn't come out at all. He couldn't even feel the existence of sky anymore since that day. But why did sky appear in his dreams? is that the real sky? or is it just a hallucination that he created because he was with Phai a few weeks ago?.

"Morning ..." said peat to team who was preparing breakfast. Peat yawned as he rubbed his sleepy eyes. Team that saw  peat just arrive.

"Morning peat ... you look very tired" said team.

"um... last night I didn't sleep well, phi" said peat. Suddenly peat hugged team from behind.

"Hey ... I'm cooking" said team in surprised. Peat did not reply to  team. Team continued with the cooking preparations.

"Phi..." Peat said weakly

"Um..." replied team that was still focused on preparations.

"I had a dream" he said again.

"Mmm" team replied again.

"I dreamed ...... met sky" peat muttered. Team froze, he stopped his activities and put away the cooking utensil he was holding.

"Who did you dream of?" said team in disbelief. Team turns to face peat.

"Say it one more time... whose dream did you have?" said team once again, this time the tone was slightly raised. Peat sighed.

"I dreamed that I met Sky, Phi... he asked me for help," said Peat.

"What ? did you see really sky?" Asked team convincingly again. Peat nodded.

"Does that mean sky...." Team's voice suddenly trembled, he couldn't hold back his tears. Peat bit his lip.

"I don't know if Sky is back or not, phi. After that I tried to call Sky many times but there was still no response at all and I still couldn't feel Sky's presence. But if it's just a dream... it feels too real for me." peat said explaining. Team is one person who is sad when sky and rain leave. Peat actually didn't want to tell his dream to team because he didn't want to give hope to team that Sky might come back but Peat couldn't keep everything to himself so Peat decided to tell everything to team.

Team could only cry hearing Peat's explanation. He knew he shouldn't expect anything, he shouldn't hope for anything and he shouldn't take it too seriously. But team couldn't stop feeling happy because it was although it was all just a dream but it was sky.... sky came to peat and it made team happy. This means that there is a possibility that Sky will return because since team knows that Peat and Sky are two different personalities, both Sky and Peat often meet in dreams. But since the incident where sky disappeared... peat has never dreamed about sky or changed to sky again. Peat could only hug the sobbing team, peat understood team's feelings.

"Then... what did Sky talk to you?" asked  team after calming down a bit.

"He asked me to help him, phi... he said I had to help him," said Peat.

"help him? ... help who do you mean?" asked the team, confused but peat also shook his head.

"I also don't know phi,who should I help, I tried to ask Sky but Sky didn't answer anything and just said that I have to help him before it's too late. I know it's just a dream... I shouldn't think too much about dreams like that ... but I don't feel good... I have a bad feeling, phi team ... moreover what appeared in my dream was sky, the person I haven't even dreamed about since that day ... " peat said. Team nodded.

"Is he trying to warn you?" Team said.

"If he's trying to warn me .... warn me from what?" asked Peat in surprise. He was really confused about his dream last night and because of that he couldn't sleep anymore because he thought about that dream.

"Then try to keep calling Sky who knows he will appear again in your dreams and explain what he means and who should I help" said the team trying to calm Peat. Peat nodded slowly.

" Yes phi ... I will try to call sky again ...  I hope i know what sky want to tell me " Said peat.
