"Min!", Mingyu shook Seokmin as he was lost in his thoughts.

Seokmin jerked out hearing Mingyu's voice.

"Yeah? What happened?", asked Seokmin looking at a worried Mingyu.

"I should be the one asking you that. Where are you lost? For a minute I thought Jun's soul has come into you that you are sleeping with your eyes open", laughed Mingyu but still had that worried look.

"Very funny. I wasn't sleeping you idiot", huffed Seokmin not quite liking the choice of words Mingyu used.

"Ok ok, kidding aside. What were you thinking about Min? You seemed quite stressed out", asked Mingyu with concern clouding his face.

"It's nothing Gyu", said Seokmin putting on the best fake smile he could muster, but who was he even fooling?

"Are you sure?", asked Mingyu with a raised eyebrow clearly stating 'Who are you trying to fool?'

Seokmin sighed,

"Gyu it's nothing. I am just being silly", said Seokmin.

"Oh come on Min, you are not being silly if something bothers you. Moreover, If it's related to you then as your best friend I should know about it. Tell me, I can help you", said Mingyu taking a seat beside Seokmin.

"Ok fine, So for the past few days I have been getting these weird dreams not dreams actually, more like nightmares. Whenever I close my eyes I see Joshua and Minji's face crying and begging for me to come to them. And the worst part is, I am nowhere around them. It's like I have completely vanished from there. You know I can never think of making them sad, so seeing them helplessly crying for me, my heart aches. I always fear that if something happens to me then who will look after them? What would they do? These thoughts are disturbing me for the past few days", said Seokmin almost in tears.

"Oh Min", Mingyu pulled Seokmin into a comforting hug.

"You are going through so much and didn't even bother telling me about it. It's okay, those are just nightmares, Min, they'll eventually go away. Nightmares are meant to come for a few hours and then go away. These bad dreams are ghosts of our fear and worries, haunting us while we sleep. You love Joshua and Minji a lot so that love turns into fear, fear of losing them and that fear brings nightmares. And nothing will happen to you till your best friend is there with you okay?", said Mingyu.

"Yes. But Mingyu just please promise me one thing if something even happens to me, you will take care of Joshua and Minji", said Seokmin extending his pinky finger.

Mingyu linked it,

"of course, it's that even a question. You don't have to worry about them, Min. You should remember that Joshua is my brother first and then he is your husband and Minji is my cute little niece so obviously I am going to be for them. And they have Wonwoo, Seungcheol Hyung, Jeonghan Hyung and the whole Seventeen family with them. You have nothing to worry about okay? Now give me that million-dollar smile you idiot", said Mingyu.
