THE DREAM
chapter two

morning came surprisingly early than expected, the sun is up high in the sky with its light invading the grounds. the illuminating rays penetrating the glass windows in a room of a certain brown-haired man, the sun hitting his face making him groan in annoyance.

as he attempts to pull his blanket up to cover his face, his alarm clock boomed with a very unpleasing sound telling him not to continue what he's about to do and just get up, causing the man to throw and crash the thing.

the man sighed heavily, yet granted the wish of his alarm clock. he threw the blanket away and got up from his bed. his half naked form on full display, his stance tall and proud, broad shoulders, wide chest, massive biceps and toned abs visible under the rays of the sun.

the man went inside the shower to take a quick bath as he is fully aware that he is now late for a very important day. he dressed in an all black outfit contrasting his olive complexion and quickly exited the door.

as he was about to enter the dining area he can hear loud bickerings and he was met with a sight of the other three men eating breakfast.

"hoseok." namjoon acknowledged hoseok's presence making the other two turn to look at the man who just arrived greeting him a soft good morning before continuing on eating breakfast. hobi just nodded in response.

"it's good that you're awake. come eat." namjoon said motioning hoseok to sit beside him. everyone in the room noticed that hoseok is not his usual self today and there's definitely something bothering him.

first jungkook, now him. yoongi thought as he examine his brother's form. he was about to ask hoseok right away, but he was interrupted by his brother's voice.

"i had a dream." hoseok said out of the blue after he settled down on his seat. remembering that a dream was the reason why he wasn't able to sleep until late midnight.

"what was it about?" the youngest of the four, jungkook asked his voice slightly shaking. namjoon stared at hoseok remaining silent waiting for the usually cheerful man to speak.

silence invaded the room and an uneasy feeling is rapidly growing inside of them. hoseok rarely dreamed of something because when he does it wasn't a dream, it's more of a vision. a prediction or a glimpse of what is about to unfold in the future. it's one of the gifts he have being the demigod of shadows. precognition.

"it was winter." hoseok started his voice a little more quiet than usual. brows furrowed in frustration as he tries to recall the dream clearly. the other boys did not interrupt him and let him focus on collecting every bit of information of his dream considering that this should be important and might have something to do with their new mission.

"the forest is covered in snow, the waters are frozen, and the trees were sleeping. however, in an area in the forest were wild roses grow, while the other roses are dead one is proudly and beautifully blooming, a black rose. i slowly neared the rose. it was utterly enchanting. when i tried to touch it, it immediately changed into its bloody red color. it stayed that way for a moment before its colors fade, its petals fell off one by one on the snow, and it ignited." he finished still confused as to what does the dream mean.

"aphrodite." yoongi mumbled getting the attention of the others on the table. he saw his friends' questioning looks and so he continued. "this could be connected to her."

"how so?" namjoon asked, curious as to what is yoongi trying to say.

"the rose is her sacred symbol. black roses only grow when aphrodite's tears touch a rose. but what confuses me is the part where it turned to red." yoongi's brows are furrowed in confusion trying to recall about the book he read about black roses.

"yeah, i remember." jungkook immediately said almost jumping on his seat. "i was once reading the same book and it said that a black rose can never return to its red color again, it just dies when the goddess is feeling happy again."

"so, what does that supposed to mean?" hoseok asked, desperately wanting to know what is his dream about.

before anyone could even respond they were interrupted by beomgyu saying that the car is ready and they all need to go. namjoon looked at his watch surprised. it's time to go.

the boys immediately stood up not even bothering to finish their breakfast. just then one by one exited the house and entered the car that will bring them to their destination. all silently mumbling a soft goodbye to the home they grew up in.

the whole car ride was silent except for beomgyu's voice constantly explaining and informing a lot of things to namjoon who is obviously not paying attention to the boy. yoongi and jungkook are sleeping, while hoseok is looking outside the window still thinking of what message his vision is trying to tell them.

the supposed to be long car ride is surprisingly short or so that's what they thought. the car stopped and the driver opened the door for the men.

the four of them stood in front of a tall, metal-thick, black-golden gate. all are amazed of how beautiful it looked. the gate opened and there stood a very cheerful boy in a black uniform, with the number 1 carved on the school seal attached to the left chest area of his uniform.

"greetings! i'm kang taehyun, welcome to demi-dieux academy!"
