Kim Seokjin's peaceful slumber was interrupted abruptly by another nightmare, one that he regularly had for the past years.
He woke up with cold sweat and in a weakened state.
The said nightmare was always the same.
Two girls and two boys without faces walking with him on a stoned path adorned with fallen petals of cherry blossoms. It was spring.
Right after a few seconds, he was not able to move at all. It was as if some unimaginable force was rooting him to the spot, and his friends moved on without him. They still had smiles on their faces and they did not even notice that they were leaving him behind.
Seokjin's vision began to blur, hot tears streaming down his face. He is then plunged into the sea. He tried to scream for help, but water only kept entering his mouth. He lost consciousness after a minute. And then the horrible dream ended.
Seokjin knew that the nightmare meant something. His insticts told him that, at least. And he was rarely wrong.
But then he would need to dive deep into his past and find out who he was. Who those friends of his were.
However, he would not do that. He was a coward, and he knew this.
What if he was a bad person? What if his friends were bad people? What if something bad had happened?
He feared discovering the answers to those questions, so he chose to not do anything. He would ony stay still, while suffering.
He climbed out of his bed, his breaths coming out rushed and heavy. He felt despondent.

"Who the fuck are we meeting anyway?" Min Yoongi muttered, irritated, as he had been waiting at McDonald's for half an hour already with Taehyung.
"It's already 12 PM, they should be here soon," his friend replied excitingly as he peeled his head onto the window, searching for you.
"Jesus, why did we have to arrive here so early--"
"There she is!" Taehyung squealed, getting up, and rushing towards you who were walking up to the restaurant joint with your cousin.
Yoongi internally cursed. What if you remember him?
"Hyung, this is Soohyun. I met her in England. Soohyun, this is Yoongi, my best friend," Taehyung introduced the both of you to each other.
Yoongi only smiled while looking at the ground. He hated the fact how his face barely changed throughout the years just like yours. If it had, he would never have to worry about you recognizing him.
"Hello. This is my cousin, Chae Yeonjoo. She's from Canada," you told them. After a short round of greetings and handshakes, you went to the ticketing booth on the fourth floor.
Yoongi had decided to purchase your tickets by himself while Taehyung, you, and your cousin went to get some popcorn and drinks.
"Your friend seems quiet," you whispered into Taehyung's ear, making him chuckle. "He's really like that when meeting new people. It gets better after some time, I swear."
The movie you picked was one that was based on a true story. It fitted into several genres, but romance and comedy stood out.
A scene came up wherein the female lead was being asked by her crush on her type.
Taehyung leaned closer over to your side. "Soohyun, what's your type?" Seeing it as a question out of curiousity from a friend, you answered confidently.
"Someone who has a bad boy persona, but is actually very warm-hearted. And likes physical content like holding hands or hugging."
"I should be a bad boy, then," he sighed as he focuses on the movie again.
You only shrugged, puzzled.
◆━━━━━━◆❃◆━━━━━━◆
The four of you had pork belly for lunch before parting ways.
"You know, Yoongi, you look like someone I know, now that I got a good look at your face," you said while you walked out of the mall through the exit.
"Who?" Yoongi had to know whether you remembered. "An old friend? I'm not sure."
"See you soon, then. And, Tae, call me whenever you can. You have my number," you bid them goodbye.
"Let's hang out again before I go back to Canada. Today was fun," Yeonjoo added before getting inside the cab.
Taehyung took a step forward and lowered his head so that it was on the same level as yours. He was merely inches away.
"I never told you this but I've noticed this the first time I saw you in England. You have a nice chest." His smirk tugged higher as you blushed furiously.
You like bad boys? Let me show you how 'bad' I can be then, he thought playfully and you climbed into the cab without an answer, your face clearly flushed. Cute.
◆━━━━━━◆❃◆━━━━━━◆
Yoongi elbowed Taehyung when you had left, earning a scowl from him. "Hey, you didn't tell me you hooked up with some girl in London," he commented with a burning glare.
"I never h-hooked up with h-her!" the younger stammered as they got into a cab themselves. "And I didn't tell you because I knew you'd pick on me endlessly, okay?"
Yoongi tsked and shifted his attention to the scenery outside the glass window.
A million thoughts was pulled into one giant whirlwind inside his head that it lightly ached. He had a lot to think about.
