psychosis | soonhoon

34

it was next morning, the sun shines bright and pierced through the windows.

soonyoung inhales the scent on jihoons hair as he wakes, his arms still wrapped around the other. he didn't know when they even fell asleep. he just remembered he pulled out a few cans of beer last night and drank until jihoon complained of tummy ache. they both ended up throwing up in the toilet.

soonyoung chuckles at the thought of them being two drunkards throwing up in the toilet. then, he hears a soft yawn from his boyfriend that he was cuddling.

"good morning."

"good morning to you too, baby."

-

"maybe it was trying to warn you that this world isn't real and you should get out. maybe though. you asked for a theory, i gave it." jihoon says, back still facing soonyoung as he peers into the refrigerator, looking for milk to add to his cereal.

soonyoung blinks, confused. thats when he remembered, he asked jihoon for a theory for the dreams last night.

"have you been thinking of that the whole time ever since i mentioned it?" soonyoung frowns. he didn't like thinking that jihoon might've felt sad or hurt himself in the process of thinking of an explaination.

"don't worry young-ah. i'm fine. we should go soon, the machine is probably ready by now.. downstairs at the spare room" jihoon walks to soonyoung and places a soft kiss on his forehead, patting his head lightly too. soonyoung loves it when jihoon pats his head.

-

"guys.. what if i just detach this thing from hyungs head? would he wake up?"

"no, i think his mind would just be stuck there for real."

"wanna try, wonwoo hyung?"

"don't, i already did." wonwoo said softly as mingyu looked at the other as if he was crazy.

"i did it to seungkwan, haha." wonwoo chuckled as jun appeared out of nowhere, laughing too.

"why are you laughing?" mingyu asked, frowning. he didn't think this was funny, he was honestly afraid something bad would have happened.

"wait, weren't you guys talking about pranking seungkwan? the one where we fed him tomato juice in the dark and he almost threw up, thinking it was milk or something?"

"jun.. we weren't talking about that.." wonwoo says but can't help to smile, jun is truly so cute when he gets confused with things like this.

jun just laughed awkwardly and quickly made his way to minghao who just walked past them.

"why did you do that? didn't you know that it is maybe um. dangerous?" mingyu put his palm on his forehead, mildly stressed.

"just thought i could wake him up! i did it when you all were having dinner upstairs.."

"oh so this was your toilet break, huh?" mingyu rolled his eyes as wonwoo just laughs a little, humming a yes.

"yes, it didn't work and i'm pretty sure it could be dangerous so i quickly put it back on. don't worry, i didn't do it to anyone else." wonwoo holds mingyus hand to reassure him, he could tell the younger didn't like the situation.

mingyu couldn't stand wonwoo sometimes, but the older just seems too precious for him to stay annoyed at too. he sighed and pulls wonwoo into an embrace.

"i hope they come back soon. ever since more members started waking up, jihoon hyung hasn't stayed there for more than a day before."

(time is faster in the other world compared to reality by the way. one week of time in the other world equals to a full day here in reality.)

-

soonyoung knows this is the best decision. he will miss this place, though.

he looks around at the empty spare room around him as he hears the sound of the portal calling for him. he should leave now.

he felt a tug on his sleeve, it was jihoon.
"lets go, young-ah."

he looks into the already opened portal, right in front of him. he couldn't distinguish what was at the other side or inside the portal, he didn't really want to look at it either. he just wanted it over with.

soonyoung steps into the portal, immediately engulfed along with jihoon into a void. he was surprised, jihoon didn't tell him what he was supposed to expect so he felt scared. what if this is not it?

since he entered the void together with jihoon, he found himself beside jihoon, holding his hand tightly.

he tried to speak but no words came out of his mouth, nothing could be heard. everything around them was black and they could barely see each other.

jihoon pulls the other close, afraid. he was afraid of many things, afraid that he built the machine with the wrong blueprints, afraid that he didn't activate this machine properly, afraid that soonyoung might hate him because he brought him into a dark, scary place, afraid that he might lose soonyoung in this void and afraid that soonyoung might not remember him after they return to the real world-

-

the man opens his eyes, vision still blurry. he wasn't sure where he was. or who he was.
he tries to get up.

"jihoonie?" he hears a familiar voice say.

'jihoonie?'
