The Slacker sleepless nights

The Real World

Cale opened his eyes yet again for the umpteenth time. He slowly rose up from his bed as he looked out the window.

'Huh, it already morning.'

He looked around assessing whether he was alone or not. Realizing that he's alone he let out a sigh of relief as he looked through the records his other self gave him about his powers and abilities before he left. Surprisingly he didn't get a headache from gaining that sudden knowledge.

 Apparently his powers gives him the ability to control the dreamland of not just his but anybody he wishes to use it on. He can choose whether he want to give them happy dreams or nightmares. Not only that but the dreams he create are limitless and can only be stopped if he wishes it. 

However that isn't his strongest ability. His most powerful one is the ability to bring dreams or nightmares to reality which he can still control considering he created them. But that doesn't mean he could do it to any dream. In order to turn a dream to reality he must have s deep emotional connection to it. Like for the dagger, he created it when he was younger as a way to protect himself as he was scared of getting hurt. And that's how the nightmares were created, they were born out of intense fear.

He shivered as he realizes who's been torturing him, he's been doing it to himself unknowingly. But that doesn't matter because he can finally get rid of them once and for all, after years of pain he's finally able to put his nightmare to a stop. It turns out that can get rid of them as easily as he did with the dagger but just a bit harder given how strong his emotions were when he created them. He can finally sleep at night.

He was still in deep thoughts when he suddenly heard the door open, Choi Han was standing with his gaze fix to the ground. It only lasted for a minute as when he turned his gaze to the bed, his face brighten up immediately.

"Cale-nim!!! Your awake!"

From that shout alone Cale could sense multiple people running to his room. 

'Aigoo'

He was sure they were going to pester him to death for scaring them however they didn't. Instead when they reached the door, they stood there shell-shocked.

'What's wrong with them?'

It was only then that Cale noticed something wet was falling down his face. There it is ladies and gentlemen, after not being able to or rather not allowing himself to cry, our favorite crimson commander was crying.
