Beomgyu's POV

As the first light of dawn streamed through the curtains, I woke up the next morning, disoriented and heavy-hearted. The events of the previous night lingered in my memory, the reality of my impending departure weighing heavily on my mind. I took a moment to just lie there, staring at the ceiling, before slowly sitting up and turning to see Yeonjun still asleep beside me.

Yeonjun stirred slightly, woken up by my movements. He slowly opened his eyes, rubbing away the sleep, and saw me sitting on the edge of the bed, my expression visibly saddened. "Hey," he mumbled, his voice groggy but filled with concern. "You okay?".  As Yeonjun slowly came to, he immediately noticed the streaks of dried tears on my face. Concern etched across his features, he gently reached out a hand and touched my cheek, wiping away a leftover tear. "You were crying?" he asked, his voice still laced with sleep but filled with concern. I met his gaze, my eyes welling up again at the sight of his worried expression. I managed a brittle smile, trying to keep my voice steady. "Yeah," I replied, my voice a whisper. "Just a difficult night, that's all." I gently took his hand, holding it closer to my cheek, relishing the comforting warmth of his skin on mine. Yeonjun's sharp eyes didn't miss the obvious turmoil in my expression. He gently squeezed my hand, his voice gentle. "Hey, talk to me," he insisted. "Tell me what's wrong. Why were you crying?" I took a shaky breath, trying to come up with an excuse and calm my frayed nerves. "I had a really bad nightmare," I lied my voice slightly unsteady. "One of those dreams that feels so real, it leaves you feeling shaken even after you wake up." I continued, my voice filled with a mix of sadness and vulnerability. "It was a nightmare about losing you, about losing us. I woke up feeling so scared and alone, and the tears just came without me even realizing it." I looked down, my eyes welling up once more as I continued, "It felt so real, and for a moment, I was terrified that it might actually happen. I couldn't help but cry, feeling the fear and despair in my heart."

Yeonjun gently pulled me closer, wrapping his arms around me in a comforting embrace. "Hey, it's okay," he whispered, his voice soothing. "It was just a dream, not reality. You're here with me, and I'm not going anywhere."

I wish it was a dream.

I clung onto him, burying my face into his shoulder, finding comfort in his embrace. "I know," I mumbled, my voice still shaky. "It's just... that dream felt so real, and it scared me so much." I took a deep breath, trying to steady my emotions. "I'm okay," I said softly, managing a smile, though it felt forced and fragile. "You sure" he said his voice filled with concern. I nodded "I don't want to worry you more than I already have. It was just a bad dream, and I'm alright now that I'm with you."

Author's POV

Beomgyu forced a smile and assured yeonjun that he was alright. However, despite his efforts to reassure yeonjun, Beomgyu's eyes betrayed his true emotions. There was a hint of sorrow and fear that still lingered within him, hidden beneath the surface. He was putting on a brave face, but he couldn't shake the turmoil inside him, knowing that he held a secret that would soon impact their relationship. Beomgyu, eager to have some moments alone to collect his thoughts and ease his mind, got up from the bed and announced that he was going to take a shower. He hoped that the warm water and private moment would help him collect his thoughts and find some inner peace, away from Yeonjun's questioning gaze. As beomgyu stood under the shower, the water cascaded over him, washing away the physical grime, but doing nothing to ease the turmoil within his heart. He thought about Yeonjun, their love, their life together. The mere thought of leaving him, the thought of not waking up beside him every morning, tore at his heart with every beat. He yearned to hold on to their happiness, to find a way to stay together, but deep down, he knew that fate had other plans. In the solitude of the shower, beomgyu allowed himself to imagine the time he still had left with Yeonjun and their loved ones. He thought of all the moments they could share, the memories they could create together before it was all over. He made a silent promise to treasure every second, to immerse himself in the happiness that was still within his grasp, knowing that soon, it would all come to a painful end. Beomgyu mused, his heart heavy with the knowledge that the future would bring pain and separation. However, he found solace in the idea that he would cherish every moment with his loved ones, even though it would ultimately lead to heartache. Despite knowing the pain that loomed ahead, he was determined to make the most of the time he had left, surrounding himself with the people who mattered most, and creating memories that he would hold close to his heart.

On the other end, Yeonjun couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about beomgyu's behavior. Even though beomgyu had tried to hide his true feelings, it was clear to Yeonjun that there were unspoken thoughts and emotions swirling beneath the surface. He knew his boyfriend well enough to sense when something was off, and his concern only grew as beomgyu avoided his questions and tried to keep up a facade of normalcy. Yeonjun, despite his growing suspicion and concern, decided to hold back his questions for the time being. He knew that beomgyu might need some space and time to work through whatever was troubling him. So, he suppressed his curiosity and chose to give beomgyu some room, hoping that, in due time, beomgyu would feel comfortable enough to open up and share whatever was burdening him with yeonjun.
