Dream

5: Sense

"Aniyo, hyung. I just see her as my fan," Sungjae assures Peniel. "Hyung, don't ever make up those message, hyung. Otherwise, I'll be disappointed." Sungjae warns seriously.

"Arasseo. Why would I do that anyway?"

"Who knows? Sometimes you care too much about me."

"Ah, I see that I finally get acknowledged that I care about you," Peniel says.

Sungjae rolls his eyes as he sees Peniel's showing off again. "Ck. Whatever, hyung."

"Shouldn't you thank her for sending them though?"

"I should, but better not. It might cause a mess." Sungjae answers.

Peniel nods, showing that he understand what Sungjae said. The moment Sungjae replies it, the first thing that will happen is that the girl will be surprised and confused that the number from her dream is real. Second, the girl might spread the number because it's real, athough it hasn't happened yet. Third, a chaos. People will ask the same thing as the girl and Sungjae might need to explain it and that's definitely bad. He doesn't want everyone know about his weird ability as people will pity him.

"Say it when you meet her in her dream then," Peniel says.

"I will, if I see her again.." Sungjae replies with hanging tone.

"You sound like you're wishing to see her again, you know."

"Do I?" Sungjae does want that, he's surprised to see Peniel notices that from his response. After some thought, Sungjae just answers it with a shrug.

"You can reply her messages if you want to.. Rather than waiting to see her in her dream."

"Aniyo, hyung, it's okay. I can't take the risk."

"Alright. Call me or come over if you change your mind."

"Ne, hyung."

"Also don't forget to call me too when life hits you hard, I'll welcome you anytime." Peniel says earnestly. He always worried that Sungjae will do something stupid knowing how much he struggles.

"Arasseo. Arasseo. You said that severeal times already."

"Better say it than regret it."

"Don't worry hyung I won't let my situation take control over myself." Sungjae does feel tired from his frequent bad dreams, but it has always been like that so there's no excuse to give up now. He won't let himself lose as well. 'How can his hyung sense it when he doesn't even tell him anything?' Sungjae wonders.

"Right. Always keep that in mind," Peniel smiles and taps Sungjae's shoulder lightly, encouraging him.

"Ya! Joy! Can you change the song?" Yeri complaints. Joy has been playing "Beep Beep", VISION's new song for 1 hour while they cook and eat dinner.

"Fine.. Here." Joy gives her phone to Yeri, letting her change the song. "Don't play FRIEND's song."

Yeri ignores Joy and she plays one of their songs. As a result, "Ya!" Joy shouts. "Give back the phone to me."

"Fine. Fine. I'll play other songs." Yeri ends up playing Rain - The Script. As the song's playing, she rests her head on the sofa, "Finally we get time to chill out. I'm so stressed out doing the assignments every day."

"I know right. We finally get to play and drink although we must return to our reality tomorrow."

"You better not remind me of that," Yeri sounds annoyed.
