Dear DREAM [✔]

A

Chenle ran fast as he could and he tagged Jaemin who was dumbfounded on how Chenle reached up to him. Not minding him, Jaemin ran up to Jeno and tackled him to the sand.

The others laughed watching the scene. Donghyuck laughed the hardest. He's happy. He's happy that his wish came true. And it came true when it was the last time for the 7 of them to have this kind of fun again.

He looked at his Mark hyung who were laughing like there's no tomorrow. Like he completely forgotten what day is tomorrow. He smiled looking at his hyung.

Despite his condition, the older still find time to visit him even though he should've been resting at the dorm. He then turned his attention at the others.

Next year, four of them will graduate and Chenle and Jisung will be the one who is left. He kinda doesn't want to graduate but it's the system. He have to do it.

The boys did not noticed that it's already late at night. Maybe it's past their bedtime but it's still 9pm luckily. They laid down on the sand looking at the stars who were shining brightly from the night sky.

They're talking about their memories and laughing at some of them.

Just for awhile, they have forgotten about it.

About Mark graduating.

About him not performing with them anymore.

About him not leading their chant anymore.

And just all about Mark.

And now, they've turned silent. No one bothered to talk or even mumble a single thing. They're just enjoying each other's presence next to one another.

"Mark hyung, you know, you've done great." Renjun started.

"What do you mean?"

"He means you did great leading us up until this day hyung. He means you're a great leader for us. For taking care of us even though you have to take a rest." Jeno answered.

"Guys." Mark spoke up but stopped as tears are forming in his eyes.

"You did a great job hyung. You managed to live with our teasing." Jisung added.

Mark didn't know if he have to laugh or cry with that.

"Hyung, you always lead the practice whenever we have one and I can't imagine it if you're not there." Chenle said.

Mark is crying by now.

"You buy us food when we don't have money. It's like your the father of a family and that family is us but when the father is gone, the family can't live for so long as the father is the center of the family. The father is the one who leads the family to a good and happy life hyung." Jaemin said. 

"But now, we can't believe that the father will leave the family because he have to. But I know that the father will support his family with all of his heart." It was Haechan who said it.

Mark sat up and started crying. He was in the middle of all 6 of them. The others followed him while Jaemin assist Haechan to sat up. They all hug their hyung with tears silently falling from their eyes.

They never know that they would feel so much pain like this. A pain that will never be forgotten. Mark's cries got louder when he felt the others hug him.

Hearing their hyung cry, they also let out the sound they've been holding on since they started crying. They let out all the pain together, crying their hearts out and the calm water and sand are the witnesses of that.

It's already 10pm. They should be asleep by now at the dorms but no one even bothered to move out from the hug. No one wanted to let go of the moment and hoped for it to last forever.

"G-guys. It's past your bedtime. You all should be back right now." Mark gathered all his breath before finding the confidence to speak up.

Hearing his voice, the others cried much more.

"Mark!" They heard someone shouting from afar.

Letting go from the hug, they all turned to see the older members looking for them. Once they've noticed the Dreamies and noticed their red, puffy eyes, they knew what happened.

"It's late. You all should be back at your dorm right now." Taeyong tried to say it in a soft tone but it's like he scolded them.

No one looked at him and just looked somewhere else.

"I'll bring back Haechan to their house, Johnny will dropped the Dreamies off at their dorm while you go with Jaehyun, Mark." Taeyong said.

Taeyong carried Haechan on his back with the help of Johnny. The others stood up looking down. They followed Johnny back to the car.

Once they were infront of each other's cars, all of them paused. They all turned around and looked at Mark.

'Mark hyung please look at us.' The Dreamies wished on their thoughts.

'I can't look at all of you.' Mark thought.

He knew he'll cry once he turn around seeing the younger's faces with tear stained cheeks.

Mark went inside the car and closed the door not even sparing a glance at the younger members. They all teared up. Haechan cried behind Taeyong who was currently carrying him on his back.

Jisung hugged Chenle who was crying. The three were trying their best to stop their tears from falling but they failed to do so.

They watched Jaehyun drove off.

"MARK HYUNG!!" The Dreamies shouted with all of their strength. Renjun, Jaemin and Chenle dropped to the ground crying their hearts out. 

Johnny and Taeyong tried their best to comfort the others. It also hurts them. To see them crying their hearts out as one of them will graduate.

Taeyong put Haechan inside the car carefully. Once inside, Haechan sobbed. Johnny had also put the others on his car and sadly closed the door.

Oh how it much it hurts them to see them drift apart from Mark just because of the system. They wanted to help but they knew it wouldn't changed the CEO's mind.

●~●~●~●

"Why didn't you looked back when you wanted to?" Jaehyun asked.

"I-i can't hyung." Mark answered.

Jaehyun nod understanding the situation already.

Mark kept silent all the way back to their dorm. It started raining and Jaehyun turned on the radio and Mark recognised the song already.

It was Downpour by I.O.I.

"Uh, want me to change th-"

"No need hyung."

"Will it stop now?
These raindrops, these tears?
I don’t want to
Get wet with rain
And tremble with cold
Some day, the cold rain
Will become warm tears
And fall down, it’s alright
It’s just a passing downpour"

He listened to the song trying not to cry. He just looked at the window and admired the rain. Mark is thinking if the sky knew what they feel tonight so the sky decided to cry too?

"What will you do tomorrow?"

"Properly say goodbye to each other and chanting our chant with me leading it for the last time."

A/N:

I just finished this just 10 mins before 12 and I'm already crying. It also hurts me so much. I dont know if this story of mine made you cry or made you feel sad.

I'm a happy go lucky person but I can write this kind of stories while listening to sad songs.

Yeah so I guess I could cry my heart out right now. Peace out!
