I woke up to the sounds of someone moaning whilst tossing and turning. I sat upright trying to rub the tired out of my eye so I could see who my dormroom buddy was. To my surprise it was Jooheon. We often shared rooms but ive never seen him like this. He was sweating and his breathing was rapid. I imagine he's having a bad dream. I layed back down knowing that it isnt a very good idea to wake someone up from a bad dream. The last time I did that I nearly got punched in the face. At this point I was wide awake. I had gone to bed rather early because I wasn't feeling well. Jooheons breathing calmed and I felt that I could stop worrying. However that didn't last long as I realised he wasnt breathing at all. I jumped out of bed and walked over to Jooheon laying next to him. His breathing was shallow but there. He still seemed to be in his dream. At this point it would be worth getting punched in the face. I gently shook Jooheon whose eyes snapped opened his breathing becoming rapid once more. "Its okay Jooheon your with me its okay." He looked at me sweat still coating him. I grabbed a tissue from the nightstand and began wiping off his face. "Minhyuk?" "I'm right here Jooheon." I finished wiping up his face and attempted to throw the tissue into the garbage but missed. After a momemt I looked back at Jooheon noticing he had fallen back to sleep. I held him in my arms trying to protect him of whatever harm may come for him and soon drifted off myself. "Minhyuk." I opened my eyes only to snap them shut again as the sunlight burned. "Yeah?" "What are you doing in my bed?" I opened my eyes once more and allowed them to adjust to the light around me. "You seemed to be having a bad dream so I came over here to comfort you." Jooheon looked at me with a blank expression before crawling out of bed. "Well thanks Minhyuk." After that it became a nightly ruitine. Id wake up to him tossing and turning and walk over to comfort him before long he would be back to sleep. Tonight however I plan to find out what he is dreaming about. I woke up as usual to Jooheon tossing and turning but this time was much worse. He seemed to be thrashing himself around the bed. "Jooheon. Jooheon. Jooheon!" He finally snapped out of his dream and he looked at me before hugging me. "Minhyuk." "I'm right here Jooheon." I pet his head before climbing into the bed with him. After we got comfortable I decided to question him. "Jooheon." "Yeah?" "What have you been dreaming about?" His body went stiff. I know he doesnt want to talk about it but he needs too. It might help him. "Nothing." "If you don't tell me I will stop coming over here at night. Or I will just switch rooms with Wonho." His grip on me tightened as he nuzzled into me a bit more. "Its the same thing every night. I wake up in a dark and damp room. There's no windows and as far as I know no doors. I start looking for a door but its impossible to see in such darkness. I end up finding a wall and I cling to it. But then I hear a loud screeching sound of rusty metal on metal. I see someone appear in the darkness holding a candle. I do not know this person. They smile at me. He has yellow crooked teeth. I see him holding a rusty knife with dried blood on it. I try to run but then there's shackles on my ankles. He comes up to me and starts choking me. I can't breath. Then he grazed the knife along my cheek cutting it open. He is about to say something and then you wake me up. But tonight. He said to me that I get to live in fear and darkness. Knowing that my lover is gone. I didn't know what he meant. But then my shackles come off and I somehow escaped his grasp and I ran. The candle light went far as he slowly walked towards me. I tripped on something fairly large. I looked over my shoulder and it was a torn up bloody body. The man came up to me and kicked the body so that I could see the face. And then he said to me, now do you understand? The person you love most is dead. And its all your fault. Now live in the shrouded darkness never knowing what is coming around the corner. The candle blew out and I cried. Then you woke me up." He looked up at me searching for answers. I had none. "Whose body was it Jooheon?" He remained silent. "You need to tell me. Maybe your just afraid of losing them. Or maybe they are currently ill and you feel that you could do more. I cant say for sure though unless you tell me who it is and what is going on with them right now." Jooheon sat up right and looked down at his hands. "It was your body."
