It was dark, a gloomy place, so unbearable, suffocating—then Tetsuya wake up jolting with heartbeat's ringing loudly into his ears as if drumming on the edge of some horror escapade. He sat up on his bed unsure of what had awakened him or what happened in the first place.

Did he have a nightmare? perhaps those bad dreams again.

Yet, he cannot distinguish himself to any matters that would connect.

After lamenting the spring and autumn he realised that no one laying beside him and it's merely five am.

Where is he?

A question comes first into the bluenette's mind as well with a wary heart. As he can feel something's off today. He searched to every part of the mansion, finding no soul of certain person, even the  butler wasn't here to speak of.

Only maids and then other servants greeted him politely. As he stood in the middle of hallway, alone by himself, until familiar voice spoke from behind with crisply and succinctly.

"Tetsuya remind me why are you here," He feel being strangled to death as that smile grew more wider in madness. "Tell me will you?"

Tetsuya sprang out on the bed with a jolt,  his palm harshly gripping the part of soft mattress as if his life depended on it. And he tried to calm his quick breathing but to no avail—he failed doing it. When his sight don't catch a glimpse of certain silverhead.

Where is he? Shi?

Like before, he ran outside of the room, not minding his sleeping pajamas designed of vanilla milkshake as well his infamous bed hair, he doesn't care to any of it and only focused seeking for other person.

However, right this time he found no soul of that person, he's not here, even the car isn't here.

Tetsuya goes back to their room, checking up his new phone and found nothing—no messages.

Is he dreaming again?

Is Sei Shi gone to somewhere ?

Why he's not informed?

Where butler Feng-san?

"Young Master Tetsuya are you looking for master?" A black haired maid walked up to him, smiling sweetly.

"Did you know where is Sei?" He asked warily. Instead of giving him an answer to his question the maid merely nodded. He followed not asking for more even though his thoughts becoming messy as second counts.

They reached the study room, the only place he don't dared to enter earlier—wait why he didn't? The door slowly opened and there he meet his heterochromatic eyes. . . thump. . . this is so wrong, those pairs are glinting— red and gold.

"Akashi-kun. . ."

"Tetsuya, what's wrong love? Come here?"

For the third time, Tetsuya blinked awake, feeling wariness running over his mind and soul. Everything, he clearly remember all of it. Like in his dreams, there was no Sei Shi near him only blank space. A dream with a dream is scary, really scary. He took weak breaths as he reached for his phone at the bedside table and opened to look for a message.

Message received.

From : Shi

"I need to take care some things."

With that, Tetsuya fears vanished without second thought.

What's with those dreams ah!

Furthermore, the clock telling him it's already seven am of—Monday.
