Chapter 1
----------

Jinyoung's POV
________________

Beeping. That's all that I hear. I look around the hospital room frantically. The beeping gets louder as I hear a voice echo from down the hallway. It's a voice I've never heard before.

"Jinyoung!~"

Almost like a whisper of a cry for help. My head pounds at the repetition of the beeping. Each beep echoing all around. Pressing on my head harder and harder.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

I run out of the room and the hallway seems to go on forever.

"Jinyoung!~"

The voice yelled out louder. I run towards it, but with each step I sink into the ground. Something compels me to continue.

"Jinyoung!~"

I feel my body quickly sinking in until I can't breathe as I'm encased by the floor. Darkness soon overcomes me...

"Jinyoung!" I feel someone hit me over the head with a pillow. I look up at glare at my roommate, Mark, and sit up.

"What on earth could you want?" I ask and lazily grab my phone, turning off the beeping of the alarm.

"It's almost 1pm! How on earth can you spend your days sleeping? Go outside. Get some air. Do something with your life!" Mark states dramatically.

I roll my eyes in annoyance, but proceed to get up anyway. "Fine. Fine. I'll do something with my day. I'll shower then I'll go get coffee or something."

I rub my eyes and yawn before stretching slightly. The second he leaves I give into the strong urge to go back to sleep.

I sleep constantly. I'm always tired. I can sleep a whole 12 hours a night and still take naps during the day. I fall asleep randomly. Mark won't let me drive ever since I fell asleep at the wheel and drove into a pole...

The second my head hits the pillow the sense of sleep and tranquility overcomes me.

[Why do I sleep so much?]

Jaebum's POV
_______________

The glow of the computer screen is all that alluminates my room. I check the clock and sigh.

12:38pm shines brightly from my phone.

3 days since I last slept. I don't know why I can't sleep. Maybe it's the thoughts inside my head or maybe I'm just not made to sleep. All I know is that the urge to sleep, no matter how strong, is virtually powerless.

I can lay in bed with my eyes closed for hours on end to no avail.

There's a quiet knock on my door and I look up at the already opened door.

My roommate, Jackson, holds a cup of what I'm assuming is camomile tea and as many sleep inducing foods as he could google.

"Hey there. I'm just gonna hand this over. You know. Maybe you should go to a doctor." He suggests as he sets the tray down on my desk near my bed.

"Tried that. They don't know what to do either." My voice is monotone as I focus on the screen.

With all the time I spend alone at night, when I should be sleeping, I record songs and make music. They sound alright, but I feel like they're missing something.

I'm not sure.

"Can you at least try and sleep for a little?" Jackson asks as I look up at him.

"Fine." I shut my laptop and set it on my desk. I take a sip of the tea and a bite out of each item of food just to please him and his google powers.

He leaves as I lay down. Once my head hit the pillow nothing happened. Not an ounce of sleepiness or anything of that source enters my body. So I just lay and wait.

[Why can't I sleep?]
