dahyun
it was as if she woke up from a long dream. her eyes gradually opened, struggling to take in the light that poured through the small window. her back was in pain due to the hard mattress she slept on, the springs felt old as her body tried to move in a more comfortable position.
a thought clicked into her head.
wait... what happened?
at that thought, she quickly sat upright to scan her surroundings.
but wait...she couldn't stand up. she peered down to see her hands chained down to the bed.
"the hell? why am i chained up?" she said to herself, trying to tug free from the locked chains. her struggling came to no use, these chains were securely locked.
while she was struggling, the door opened and a figure entered into the small room. she peered up, not recognising the male. he stood timidly by the wall, wearing a white lab coat and held a folder in his hands.
"hi dahyun, do you feel better?" the guy in the lab coat asked.
dahyun stayed quiet, growing scared in her bones.
'who was he? where am i? why am i chained up? is this another one of my visions?'
"how were the dreams last night? you looked pretty shaken up yesterday," the man asked her, writing something in his hands after noticing her hands trembling.
"they'll get worse, just letting you know," he said, looking at her with content eyes.
she blinked in confusion, several thoughts running all over her face. the doctor and dahyun stayed quiet for a few minutes. she swallowed a little bit of fear before speaking, "w-wait...how did you know about my visions?"
"they've been getting worse these days, especially since we stopped giving you your pills," he replied back.
"what? pills? what are you talking about, i'm not on any medication."
"that's what you think. i've been giving you pills for the past year, dahyun. it's to help with your visions and the voices you keep hearing in your head. i'm here to help you."
dahyun scoffed in disbelief, shaking her head to his words. "what are you talking about? i've been living in seoul, not here," she argued back.
the doctor shook his head, saying, "i'm afraid that's incorrect. you're a patient of the votty institution. you've been here for a year and a half."
votty institution??
an amused laugh escaped dahyun's lips as she looked at him, telling him, "that's some weird shit you're saying. i live in seoul with my boyfriend."
after she spoke those words, the door opened again but this time, a male walked in who dahyun recognised immediately. her eyes widened at the sight of him.
"n-namjoon?"
he gave her a small smile, standing timidly next to the doctor. he said quietly, "hey, dahyun."
"w-wha..." dahyun started as she stared at him in shock, she cleared her throat and asked, "w-what's going on here, namjoon...why am i here? why are you here? where's jimin?"
"i'm sorry, dahyun," was all namjoon said, staying quiet. dahyun looked at him disappointed, growing more scared as her current situation.
"did you betray me? all that stuff about helping each other...was that all just a big lie?" she asked with hurt running through the tone of her voice.
