Dream Lie |Vkook|

10. Let me know

Taehyung's P.O.V.

I woke up by the sunlight shining bright into my eyes. The weather was amazing, no clouds or anything. Just a blue clear sky.

Our room was silent. No one was home. Everything was peaceful but almost too perfect to be true. Like a dream.
But I could move and think my own thoughts. It wasn't a dream.

Our bedroom looked a little different. My side was totally perfect as it was. But Hwan's side was empty. Lifeless.
He made the bed, like it was untouched. The wardrobe was empty too. The desk was clean.
On the desk I saw a drawing.

It was a boy chasing a butterfly. He couldn't reach it. His expression was kinda lost, he was just running without knowing where.
And there was another boy on the drawing. He looked similar to me. His eyes were covered by his hands.

What did this mean? Was it a message?
I sat down at my bed and started to think.

There were nothing on his side of the room then this drawing. Not a letter, not a pen, he didn't leave anything. This must mean something.

Is he running away?

No way Hwan would do that. He's scared of the dark, he would never survive out there. He'll probably come back.
But maybe he's at a friend?

Wait! This drawing...
Memories were playing in my head. Is this a picture of us playing hide and seek outside? At the field?

That must be it!

I took my jacket and put on my shoes as quickly as I could. Then I ran to the field.

At the field, where nothing but flowers and a cloudy sky.
The wind blowed gently at me. Disappointment.
I sighed. Was he really gone?

My heart felt broken. I could feel nothing but emptiness and pain. Tears stared to fall. I didn't want to believe it.

Why?

in the city

It was pointless. Walking around and ask people if they've seen him. I've searched for two hours without any results.
Meaningless.

But there I saw him. On the other side of the bridge. He saw me too. We had eye contact for a few seconds but then he began to run.

I screamed after his name and telling him to stop. Again, it was pointless.
I started to ran out of breath. I didn't wanna stop but my body couldn't take it. I took a break but when I looked up again, he was gone.

Here we go again.
But I saw him. It wasn't someone who looked like him, it really was him.

Why? Why did he ran away?

I began to walk back home. Each step I took, I felt emptier and emptier. How could I leave? Why didn't I run after him, even though I was tired?

at the field

I saw that mom and dad was home. I didn't wanna go in and tell them that I saw Hwan run away. How could I explain this situation in a different way?

I didn't dare to go in so I turned around, to the field. Probably the only place where I can calm myself down, but also the place with broken memories.
