Jisung is standing in the middle of a frozen lake.

Darkness and fog is consuming the whole surroundings. He felt really cold.

Dark shadows starts to emerge from the thick fog, moving towards him. He's starting to get scared.

Soon, the shadows shifted into a human form. Displaying images of Chenle's parents, including Chenle himself. Their ghostly form stood in front of him.

"It's your fault why Chenle had to suffer.." Mr. Zhong said.

"Why don't you just disappear and let our Lele be happy?" Mrs. Zhong added.

Tears starts to flow from Jisung's eyes. Too much guilt lingers on his body.

"Please...Let me be happy Jisung... Get out of my life.." Chenle said with a angry and pleading expression.

Words are now echoing on his head. He couldnt take it anymore. "Get lost.... Get lost.... Get lost...."

The ice where he was standing breaks and the lake immediately swallows him.


"Jisung! Jisung! Wake up!"

Jisung suddenly jolted up from the bed. He was catching his breath and beads of sweat are dripping from his face.

A concerned face of Chenle is looking at him.

"Are you alright, Jisung?"

Jisung remembered what his dream is all about. Looking at his roommate ignites the guilt on his heart.

"Yes Chenle.. It was just a nightmare.."

"You scared me, Jisung..." Chenle pouts.

Jisung missed this. Waking up beside Chenle. Admiring his morning face.

He ruffles Chenle's hair and pinches his cheeks.

"I'm really okay, Chenle... Thank you for worrying about me..."

Chenle smiles. He clearly dont know but he likes to see Jisung smiling.

"Let's get dressed, shall we?" the taller asked. "We dont want to be late on our first day.."

After eating a simple breakfast and got dressed, both boys left their dorm and head towards the auditorium, where the orientation will take place.

Students, mostly freshmen, are packed inside the auditorium. You can barely find a available seat.

Luckily, both boys managed to get a seat at the back part of the bleachers. Its better than nothing. Once they are seated, the quickly spotted their own friends.

"Jaemin hyung!" Jisung waved.

"Hello Jisung!" Jaemin replied while walking towards their place, having Renjun in tow.
