Captivated by Immortality

08: Return

"Taehyung!" I screeched, recollecting that he was in the dream.

I shoved my blanket of forcefully, stumbling out of the bed and thrusting the large door open. I scurried towards Haerin's room, banging on her door.

"Haerin," I pounded on her door, "wake up, it's dire!" I grew frustrated. She was a hard sleeper which irritated me at the moment.

I was about to knock on the door again. The door slowly creaked open, revealing a exhausted Haerin.

"What?" She whined drowsily.

I gave her a relieved smile, rushing past her, entering her room.

"Couldn't whatever you want to say wait?" Her voice was drained from all remaining energy.

"No. I have to tell you now" I stated sternly.

She looked at me curiously, waiting for me to begin.

"Haerin," My voice sounded weary, causing it to crack, "I had that dream again, You know the one where there were people fighting. Something happened though, it was more detailed. I saw more. Heard more. I saw the same sword and shield we found, it also seemed like it was the same better as in the painting. Oh, something else happened, there was these people who were dragging someone towards the cave. It was Taehyung. They were dragging, Taehyung."

Haerin looked at me bewilderedly. She appeared shocked but also frightened.

"Miran," She spoke so softly, it was like her voice was made of silk, "I really don't know what to say. I don't know if this is more reason to believe that all of this is real, or that you've been around Taehyung to much where you're now dreaming about him. Maybe...Maybe you're just stressed. Although, Maybe, all of this is true—" She drifted off a little, looking worriedly in my eyes.

I looked down thinking, Oh, why couldn't I have just dreamt about celebrities like every other normal person?

I started fiddling my thumbs. I looked back at Haerin and she was still dazed, thinking about the situation.

"Do you think we should tell someone? Ms. Lee? Minhyuk? Taehyung?" She got out of her daze.

"No. Not yet. We don't know what it is. It could just be a silly dream." I disagreed, not wanting anyone to overthink things.

"We have to tell someone!" Her voice was so abrupt that I slightly jumped.

"Oh, sorry. I get loud when I'm anxious." She was looking at me guilty.

"I know. You're always anxious." I eased her, "I don't want anyone to know just yet. I don't want them to worry about anything."

"Yeah. You're right. They'll probably make a big deal about it. If they found out about Taehyung they might experiment on him or something." I paused. We both looked up at each other. We were both worried that what she just might actually happen.

"Then we better be cautious." I huffed a beast-like breath. I looked at the digital clock. Displayed on the screen showed that it was already 6:30 a.m.

I got up, popping my back. "I guess we should get ready for work." I started to pace to the door.

"Miran," I heard Haerin quietly call me, "If you have that dream, will you tell me?"
