"Hyung! Wait up!" A cheerful voice called out to me, sounding like a symphony of beautiful stringed instruments all at once. I looked back at the person I had apparently been running from, but there was no one to be seen. I scanned the field, but the only things around me were the white flowers and blue sky, and one cherry blossom tree in the distance. In curiosity, I walked slowly towards it, determined to discover what was hiding there. I didn't know what it was, but something was telling me I needed to find out. Once I got close enough to reach the pink blossoms of the tree that hung low and swayed in the wind, I looked around the tree trunk, but still didn't see anyone. All of a sudden, I couldn't see anything at all, just darkness. "Got ya!" The melody of a voice called out, his laughter following afterwards and bouncing off of the atmosphere and into my head a million times over. I grabbed his hands from my eyes and turned myself around, prepared to finally see who this mystery person was. All I knew was how his voice sounded, and it was like music to my ears. Again, he had vanished.

"I'm over here!" He hinted from behind me, and I was like a child again playing hide and seek, attempting to find out where he was. "Over here!" He called to my right, but he was still not there. "You'll never catch me," He chuckled, and this time I gave up and sunk to the floor, my knees up against my chest. Why won't he ever let me see who he is? Just then I felt a head against my right shoulder. I slowly looked over my left shoulder to see who it was, and Jungkook's pure features faced the sky, reflecting the bright light of the sun and shadows from the tree above us. 

"Jung.. Jungkookie?" His eyes opened slightly to look at my quavering face, and he reached his hand over to place atop of mine. He didn't say anything, but I could feel his words deep within me, I could feel what he had to say. He said, "Lay your head down on my shoulder, and everything will be alright." So I did, and we sat there in peace and harmony, resting our heads on each other as we breathed equally. Same heart beat, same soul. "Jungkookie, I.. I love y-"

"Hyung, wake up!" Jungkook urged from the side of my bed, and my blood-shot eyes opened as soon as I heard him. Finally, I could see him. He's real, and he's not a dream. He's here in his whole entirety, close to my face and relieved that I'm finally awake. "Jungkookie, is that really you?" I asked, feeling like my whole life could depend on what he says next. "Yes, I'm here, hyung. How was your rest?" He asked, pulling up my blanket a little higher on my chest and then tucking it in around my feet. I just watched him, watched him care for me and be there for me, like I had always wanted him to. 

His hands moved higher and higher until he was tucking the blanket around my waist, and he looked up to me hesitantly as he realized I had just been staring into his eyes the whole time. "Did you have a dream?" He asked, disregarding my silence. I smiled to myself and my eyes traveled up his neck and to his pretty little face, still as youthful and pristine as I remembered it. "Yes, actually.. it was about you," I stated. We exchanged looks, and both said that they couldn't really understand why that is. "R-really?" He asked, stuttering slightly. "What.. What happened in it?" 

I focused my irritated eyes on my blanket, then looked over at the flowers placed on my bedside table. The Marigolds, or what had once been Marigolds, were already wilted and crumpled on the bottom of the glass vase. The thought of it made me sad. "Flowers.. There were.. Flowers all around me, and.. And," I began, as Jungkook sat down on a chair to my right. "And.. And what?" He questioned, leaning in the slightest bit to be able to hear my weak voice. "And a cherry blossom tree. There was this.. This voice that, it was so beautiful I.. I couldn't even explain it if I tried to," I somewhat laughed, recalling the altered reality of a fantasy I had dreamt up.
