nightmares ; yoonmin

chapter 1

yoongi woke up to the sound of piercing screams. usually he would just put is headphones back in and go back to bed when he was woken up. but since he knew that someone just recently moved into the apartment next to him, he decided to get his lazy ass up and go see what the hell was going on. the screams continued as he grabbed a small kitchen knife to protect himself, because who knows what could be going on in there? and he was sure as hell not trying to get murdered tonight.

silently, yoongi crept out into the hall of his apartment complex, kitchen knife still clutched in on of his pale hands. he prepared himself for the worst as he knocked a few times on the door next to his own. nothing changed, there was still loud screams coming from inside even after he knocked. so, he tried knocking again, a bit louder this time, though it made him nervous to do so. suddenly it all became silent, the screams had finally stopped. only seconds later, a small boy with pile of his messy hair on his head came to the door.

"h-hello?" the boy said, trying his very best to rub the sleep from his tired eyes and seem as normal as possible in front of this new guy. yoongi proceeded to quickly hide the knife behind himself, knowing now that there was no real threat to his well being. just a very cute, very sleepy looking boy. (to his surprise)

"hi, um- i just um- well i- i heard some screams coming from in here and i just wanted to come and make sure everything is alright. oh and my name is yoongi, by the way, im your neighbor." yoongi (sort of) explained to him, his awkwardness radiating off of him in waves and he hoped he didnt sound too strange. this boy was extremely attractive, yoongi realized, and he was finding it especially difficult to form proper sentences at the moment.

the boy nodded slightly and bowed respectfully, assuming that yoongi was older than him. "nice to meet you, yoongi hyung. im jimin. park jimin. i- im so sorry i woke you up, i'll try and be quieter." jimin said softly, sadness and guilt filling his eyes with each word. he hated to burden people, especially when it was very cute boys who live next door and come over to check on him. yoongi tilted his head to the side in confusion, sensing jimins sad mood. "i-i don't mean to be nosy or anything, but why were you screaming?" yoongi said all of a sudden, almost regretting his words in fear that he was being rude in some way.

jimin sighed and opened the door wider, "would you like to come in? i can explain over some coffee if you want." jimin shot him a small smile and lead him inside at a nod of yoongi head. he usually wasnt this open with new people, but honestly what has he got to loose? they sat down and jimin offered yoongi coffee, to which he politely declined, jimin began to explain himself. he cleared his throat, to stall just a tad bit longer so he could try and gather all of his thoughts. he hadnt slept very well in a long time and he had always had trouble doing that.

"um- basically, i have a rare condition called nightmare disorder. there is a long scientific name for it, but i cant be bothered to remember it. what happens is; i have very vivid and most of the time horror filled dreams almost every night. there are very few nights when they don't come, but it doesn't happen often at all." jimin explained quickly, trying to get all of his words out at once. he was already afraid that this would freak out the boy in front of him.

"the nightmares are usually very scary and target some of my biggest fears, sometimes they seem so real i- its terrible. anyway, i have different reactions to each dream, sometimes i scream, like tonight, or i cry, or move and punch and kick. there is no cure as of right now, but i do take sleeping pills which help calm my reactions down some. i don't ever talk about the ones i can remember so please don't ask, but most of the time i can barely remember much from the dream, anyway." he explained with a rather sad look on his face.
