Dreams of Arcadia

Y/N PoV

One minute I was lying comfortably on Jin's sofa, stroking his hair and cuddling with Mingi, watching the new BL series :Do you wanna see my cat? which didn't exist in the world of the living, Jin swore Jungkook and Yoongi had never been in a series, suddenly there were four figures I couldn't recognize because it was dark and the only light from the TV was shining into the room. After Jin had grumbled at them, they sat down obediently, apparently no one questioned his authority... but wasn't that GD? He's a few years older than Jin... but even he didn't dare to disagree. Then I recognized Jimin and Taehyung watching stunned Yoongi and Jungkook making out, I still didn't really see the fourth one.

"Mingi... wake up, sweetie... My shoulder is all slobbery." I gently shook Mingi's arm, the guy was a real heavy sleeper, instead of waking up, he just slid to the other side on top of Jimin. Alerted by the movement, the fourth guy now looked at us and when our eyes met, my eyes widened.

"Little mouse?" he asked in amazement

"Kibum... Oh my God..." I exclaimed excitedly and jumped onto his lap to hug him and shower him with kisses, causing the others to stare at us in confusion.

"Hey, give her back hyung, I found her here in my house, so she's mine now," Jin complained, pouting because I didn't keep petting him.

"I don't care where you found her, she's my favorite cousin and has been mine since birth." Key replied, sticking his tongue out at him in affirmation.

"Why were you there? I thought Shinee wasn't there the night we died." I asked him.

"Yoohyeon invited me because she wanted to celebrate her engagement with us afterwards." If I'd still been alive now, I'd be crying again about Honggi... but I itched less and less the longer I was here.

"And you were alone?" I wanted to know, hoping that more Shineemembers hadn't been hit, but his sad smile told me otherwise.

"Minho was with me... but I haven't found him here yet. Maybe he made it," he said regretfully.

"Nah, he kicked the bucket just like we did. Whose stupid idea was it to smoke in the toilet?" asked Jiyong, who now spoke up.

"Your... you really wanted to see Daesung high... oh man... Daesung... we totally forgot about him... he's here somewhere too." Kibum noticed and Jiyong nodded.

"Yeah... I bet he's sitting on a hill somewhere, meditating and praying that he can go to heaven... I bet he thinks this is purgatory and he came here because he took a drag on that joint." Jiyong laughed, not seeming too worried about his friend.

"Where are the others anyway?" Jin asked Jimin, who was still trying to carefully get the sleeping Mingi off him.

"Yoongi and Hobi are at Jungkook's house, I'm supposed to come and collect you... and Namjoon... well... he's running around naked." he explained, causing Jin to burst out laughing.

"Oh, but I don't think he was the streaker I saw, he was a bit smaller and narrower." I thought out loud.

"There are several streakers here?" Taehyung asked, giggling.

"But honestly, I had a weird feeling here too, just taking off my clothes and running... Only then I met Key and didn't dare to do it anymore," said Jiyong.

"Maybe it's an afterlife thing... you no longer have any responsibilities and for the very first time you can be really free... " Jin looked thoughtful before unbuttoning his shirt, so Kibum covered my eyes.

"Yah, now when it gets exciting." I complained.

"Don't you dare take your clothes off in front of the little girl now, Seokjin," my cousin scolded loudly.

"She's seen it all before anyway," he waved it off and I pushed Kibum's hands away.

"Bubu... I'm not a little girl anymore, let me stare at hot guys when they take their clothes off in front of me." I complained.

"Kim Y/N, close your eyes right now." he ordered irritably, while the others rolled on the floor laughing.

"Did she really just call him Bubu?"
