Mystic Messenger High School! AU - Peaceful - Saeran x Reader

A Warning

I look at the caller ID, confused.

Why is he calling me? We barely talk. Might as well pick up...

"Hey, Hyun."

"Oh, (Y/n)! You picked up! Thank goodness!" 

"Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, yeah. Just uh... Checking on you."

"Yoosung said he already told you all I was alright."

"He did. I feel more comfortable hearing it from you, though."

"Is that the only reason you called?"

"Well... um... I don't know if you'll believe me."

I roll my eyes.

"What?" My voice was obviously pissed off. I sometimes feel bad about how I treat Zen, bur it's all I can do to show him I'm not interested in him being all flirty and weird like he is with other girls.

"I had a strange dream last night. It's stupid, I know, but sometimes I get these psychic dreams. I wouldn't bother you about it, but normally after I get them they come true. You were in this one."

I falter a second. I don't really believe in superstitions, but I can't help feel my blood run cold when I think of the possibility that he dreamed of something that he was so concerned about he had to call me and check on me to make sure I was alright.

"(Y/n)? You still there?"

"Uh... Yeah, yeah. Sorry. So... What exactly happened in your dream?"

He hesitated. "I don't remember much, just that you were at Luciel's house. I can't explain it... There was this weird feeling in the air and I felt so uneasy... Then you passed out. I don't know what else happened, I um... forgot."

Passed out? I haven't passed out before in my life! That can't be real. "Okay. Thanks for the concern, Hyun. I'll be careful from now on."

I could practically hear him beaming through the phone. "Thank you so much! Take care of yourself!"

"You too. Bye." I hang up, a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. Didn't he say most of his psychic dreams came true...?

~*~*~*~

I slowly opened my eyes to the annoying beep of the alarm clock, signalling to me it was 6:30 and I should start getting ready for school. After silencing it and grabbing my glasses from their resting place, I sat up and looked around my room. There was light slithering in through gaps in the blinds, lighting up the carpet. My eyes flitted to my dresser, and I realized I'd better get up and get changed. I quickly sifted through clothes before settling on a plaid shirt with black sweatpants and some short, dark grey combat boots. 

After quickly changing and brushing my teeth, I decide to actually style my hair today, braiding the locks in the front and pinning it back on my head. Satisfied, I gather my things and leave, ready to walk to school, since I had time, and enjoy my Thursday. I opened my bag on the walk and took out a chocolate bar from yesterday, munching on it as I walked. Chocolate for breakfast? Today's going to be great. As I ate, I couldn't help but think of Luciel and his brother, wondering what happened between them.

Oh, well. It's not my business, I won't worry about them. They can take care of their own family problems.

Now that my thoughts were on Luciel, the rhythm of my feet swayed a bit. 

The dream Zen had... Could I really trust him? Or should I trust Luciel, who I'm much closer with? Hyun did say his dreams like this usually come true. Maybe this is an exception? I trust Luciel. But he lives with Saeran... Or at least, that's what Saeran said. Do I trust Saeran? What if Saeran is the reason something bad happened to me in Hyun's dream? 

My conflicting thoughts kept me occupied the rest of the walk to school. I shook my head as I went through the doors. The days were getting repetitive and longer than usual, so I try to occupy my mind with that instead of the unsettling thoughts. As I stand at my locker, preparing myself for the day ahead, I can't help but worry I'll be just as jumpy today. For the first time in what feels like forever, but in reality has been about a couple of days, I worry about seeing Saeran again. I exhale sharply and slam my locker door. 

I didn't trust him before, but now... Maybe I was right not to. Hyun is making me very concerned about tomorrow... I can't worry about that now. I have work to do. I'll just focus on class and not worry about the twins until the classes we share. It'll all work out.

I reassure myself on the walk to homeroom. If anything, I'm safe at school. And if something happens tomorrow... I guess I'll find out if what Hyun said was fact or fiction. I can't help but pray it'll be fiction and have a gut instinct it'll be fact... I sigh and slip into the classroom.

We'll see...

Sorry for the shorter chapter! It's 2 am and I'm exhausted. I was debating on writing anything at all today. Tomorrow should be normal again.
