'Jaehwan-hyung, wake up!'

A familiar deep voice called out to him.

Jaehwan woke up to the younger's voice and slowly sat up.

'Ow~' Jaehwan rubbed the slight bruise on his head and all around his body. 'Where are we?'

'I don't know but it seems like we've been separated from the others.' Wonshik told him.

'You've got to be kidding me...' Jaehwan sighed.

'I hope they're okay.' Wonshik said.

'Yeah. Com'on let's figure out where we are.'

'Okay.'

The younger also got up and followed closely beside Jaehwan.

The last thing the two of them remembered was falling into the ground that the Dark Taekwoon had casted below them. It was a trap and the two of them could not get in touch with neither Soo-ah nor Hongbin.

Without being able to see much of where they were at the moment, the two of them decided to walk only forward and hope that they would eventually come across something to help them out.

'This place is never ending...' Jaehwan started to complain.

Wonshik nodded in agreement.

'Just how far have we walked? Ever since we got into this whole Dreamscape thing... we've been walking around in circles until something eventually happens.'

Dreamscape was a strange place.

Though it is a dream, it was one where those that visited did not have as much freedom as they thought they would. It could possibly be the fact that they were not the owners of the dream and were limited to what they could do inside of it. At times they could change their settings but other times, they could not. They feel powerful one minute and helpless the next.

The two of them tried to see if they could focus their minds and create a different setting but nothing happened.

After several failed attempts, Jaehwan decided to give up and just walk forward. But then, the ground began to shake furiously.

'Woah!' Jaehwan got nervous. 'Don't tell me we're going to fall again!'

'Hold on to me hyung!'

The two of them held tightly onto each other in case they got separated again. But moments later, the ground settled down and the rumbling stopped.

Their setting was beginning to change and light up. Vibrant green grass grew from both sides and a pebbled pathway appeared beneath them. It was leading them to somewhere.

Right up ahead, a long staircase appeared before them. It was so tall and reached so far that the two of them could not see the end of the path.

Both looked at one another to decide what to do next.

'Let's go.' Jaehwan initiated and pulled the younger forward.

The two of them followed the path up the never-ending stairway. Though they do not know what may lie ahead, it was the only path to take.

'I hope nothing happens while we're on this thing...' Wonshik worried as they walked too far up to turn back.

'Don't jinx it!' Jaehwan hit him on the head.

'Sorry...'

After a long and tiring walk up the stairs, the two finally reached the top of the clouds. The sky was bright and blue, and as they reached the top floor of the stairs, the two were in awe by the sight of clouds below them. They could no longer see what was behind anymore.
