Lost in the Dream (Hyungwonho) *slow updates*

Chapter 7

Hyungwon didn't feel like moving from his bed, so Minhyuk and Wonho just let themselves in.

His dad was used to Minhyuk walking in all the time so he didn't pay mind to it.

"Hyungwon! Are you okay? Are you sick? Is that why you stayed home from school?"

"You had me worried all day. I hope you're feeling better."

He nodded in response to Wonho. "I wasn't sick, exactly."

Hyungwon pauses. His hesitation evident.

Minhyuk and Wonho just look at him confused.

"This is going to sound crazy so please bear with me."

He pauses again to collect his thoughts. He just hopes that they can understand his frustration and won't leave him while he's dealing with all of this.

"I have weird dreams. It's kind of why I don't sleep very well. It's mainly the same thing most of the time with little things different here and there. Growing up I used to have nightmares where I'm in a city that's burning down. I was trapped and couldn't find an escape. That happened for a good two years. I was terrified as a kid by that.

It stopped and I would only get weird dreams every once in a while, but I never really remember much about them. The past month now I've been having this specific dream where there's something dangerous happening that I can never tell what, but I get taken away from the situation, and somewhere in the distance, by someone who's face is always blurry. They stand over me, blocking me from the event going on behind him and I always try to see what's happening, but every time I look, everything gets bright and I wake up. The guy in my dream has always stood out to me. I don't know who he is, but he has white hair-"

Hyungwon stops himself as he makes a big realization. It was as if his brain started putting pieces of a puzzle together.

His eyes widen and looks up at the blonde male in front of him.

"It was you. It's definitely you!"

"Me?!"
"Him?!"

The two both speak at the same time.

Hyungwon simply nods, too shocked to speak.

"Why me? We only just met and you said you keep having these dreams."

"Creepy..."

"Minhyuk, no, but I don't know why my brain conjured up him. There's got to be an explanation. Except, I had a different dream last night. I guess I didn't wake up from it. This one felt surreal like it was a memory, but it never happened. I was walking around this desolate place that was empty and demolished, but as I kept walking around, I found you, Minhyuk, along with a group of others surrounding a small fire. Wonho, you were there, too. I didn't realize it was you, but even though you were blurry, I am now definitely sure that they were your facial features. Minhyuk, you started shouting something to me, but I couldn't hear it. I thought I was going to lose you. Everything was disappearing right before me.

Then the scene changed and I was somewhere else. It looked like the place I was in earlier, but everything was clean and neat, like it had never been through a disaster. I felt peace. I guess I then transported myself because I was in this bedroom that seemed like a fancy hospital room. I found my mom laying there on the bed. She looked like she was dying. I collapsed and then I woke up. Although, it didn't really feel like I woke up from a dream. The place felt familiar, like I was somewhere I've known my entire life.

When I opened my eyes, my dad was panicking there and someone else was next to me. He said his name was Changkyun and that it was important for me to try and remember. I have to open my mind, but then he just left. My dad then proceeded to tell me how my mom passed away this morning. She's been fighting cancer this entire time and we all thought it was getting better, but it was the complete opposite. She passed away when she had a really bad fainting spell. So yeah, I'm not okay. At all. I'm currently freaking out in my head because of her death, but I'm too in shock of it happening."

He didn't realize he was sobbing by the end of his explanation, but he wasn't the only one.

Tears slipped down the two male's faces, as well.

Minhyuk immediately grabs Hyungwon into a hug, "Oh Wonnie, I'm so terribly sorry. This is so awful."

He couldn't respond back without crying so he stayed in the hug until the older let go.

"Since we're sharing dreams I have to share mine, as well."
