Once upon a dream

Suspicious Behavior

Jungkook laid back on the couch. It wasn't the comfiest piece of furniture but it was something. His temporary savior, Yoongi, had left minutes prior to pick up some groceries and to see what was happening outside. He was instructed by the elder profusely to keep the curtains closed and to stay away from the windows.

He didn't need to be told twice.

Didn't need to be told at all actually.

Their talk earlier was still fresh in his mind. After questioning him about his hyung, Yoongi started turning the topic onto Kwan. Asking how he got into the mess of being engaged with him. It wasn't easy to talk about it or even how to begin. Instead he found himself shaking his head and apologizing to the elder. Thankfully Yoongi understood and instead asked if he could ask just one question. When Jungkook nodded the elder asked something that he knew would eventually come up.

At first he wasn't sure what to answer, with the elders impatient eyes staring into his he swallowed and answered as best he could. He told him that if he hadn't have left when he did that Kwan would have done what Yoongi had asked.

Jungkook smiled, a genuine real smile when Yoongi started cursing. Finally he had someone in the real world who could get mad for him. Who could fight for him. Not that his dream wasn't real but until Jungkook saw him with his own eyes while awake then and only then would he feel completely safe and loved.

He wasn't sure what it was, maybe it was the two years in watching from behind as his dream stood on the cliff is what did it. Whenever he would have that dream he would always wake up content and his heart feeling at bliss. The last two weeks was a set of different emotions, but in that dream, with him, that man who he didn't truly know, he was sure that he's known him all his life. It was like his heart started beating for the first time. Even if the circumstances weren't favorable, the need and want to be with his mystery dream was dire.

His eyes started to close and he could feel sleep overtaking him. Somehow deep inside he knew that he wouldn't go to the cliff in his dreams, having had figured it out. They both would have to be sleeping at the same time for it to happen and he was sure that the other was not sleeping in the middle of the day like him.

No.

If his dream was real, if his hero was real then he'd be out there looking for him.

He had to be.

Jungkook also knew that he'd never have to dream that dream again. Finally he was free and there was no need to see the cliff. The dream had served its purpose and whoever had sent his dream towards him could rest easy now, he was safe and waiting for his reality to find him.

"I don't understand why the hell we are doing this." Jimin adjusted the mask on his face then pulled the ball cap further down to hide himself. He was a popular model and it wouldn't do them any good if he were to be recognized right now.

"Well because your best friend has lost his freaking mind. That's why" Jin snapped.

The two were walking around, going into different stores and asking as discreetly as they could if they had seen the boy in the picture that they had. So far everyone had said no but most commented that they knew him and hadn't seen him for sometime. Most talked about how he was a friendly kid and that they were sad to hear about his grandmother.

Jin sighed as they exited the small shop. Taehyung had made a deal with the two, that if they found Jeon Jungkook and brought the boy to him then he'd go and seek professional help if he was truly crazy like they had said. They didn't think he was crazy just that it would be good to start talking to someone, the stress of the job wasn't easy and Jin knew it first hand. He had watched his grandfather go mental from the stress of it all as well as his uncle towards the end of his reign. Now he was worried that maybe Tae was starting to succumb to the same fate. Talking about a boy he met in his dreams, how he thinks he's in love with him.
