The Dream - A SuaGah fanfic

Chapter 6 - Fear of Being Chased

Rain had started falling down hard in Seoul as Gahyeon was sitting alone in the dark of her room, covered under her blanket and watching a movie.

She literally picked one at random while she was browsing online and she only picked it because it looked like it was going to be a sad movie judging by the photo the movie used to promote itself and by the short description she read about it.

And she wasn't wrong. The movie featured a protagonist whose life was all well before they had to make a decision - chase happiness for themselves or stay behind, forget about happiness and serve a higher purpose. 

It was heartbreaking for Gahyeon because she could relate to it - she too had that decision of choosing between confessing her feelings or running away from them, but neither could guarantee her a happy life. That thought was starting to creep in her mind, chasing her, and she feared it.

However, Gahyeon was not unhappy, just tired of living some parts of her life in the same way every day.

She was denying and burying her feelings while she felt helpless in her situation.

How much could she take?

Should she say something even it meant people could get hurt?

For now, Gahyeon just shook her thoughts and tried to concentrate on the movie.

I mean... What would I do if I was the protagonist of this movie? - she thought. 

Heh, I guess it's easier to think of it that way considering this is a movie, but still... would I chase happiness or would I... fight for a bigger cause? Would it be " save Gahyeon" or would my choice be the rest of the world? What would I choose?

As the rain started to fall down harder, Gahyeon started to think about what would happen later that day as well - if Dami were to go out, she would get soaking wet outside. However, she did mention of going to a bowling alley so if she just takes care of herself as she's out, she'll be fine.

Sua and Siyeon on the other hand did not have that option. Their plans involved going to the park. After all, this was Dreamcatcher's day off and everyone wanted to spend it as best as they could, so there was definitely a question of how Sua and Siyeon would spend their day.

As the afternoon continued, Gahyeon switched from watching movies to TV shows she had missed out on in the last couple of days to movies once again.

And at some point, there was no light coming from outside so Gahyeon guessed that nighttime was approaching even though she had lost all concept of time at that point. She didn't want to think about her co-members, but her thoughts would go there every now and then.

Gahyeon would hear Yoohyeon and Jiu talking in the hallway with everyone that would leave the dorm. She could hear their voices even though she wanted to concentrate on her movies.

From what Gahyeon could hear, Dami took an umbrella and told Jiu and Yoohyeon she would take the cab to meet J.Seph. They wished her to have fun.

Sua and Siyeon left sometime after that as well.

This meant that only Jiu, Yoohyeon and Gahyeon were left in the dorm at that moment.

After a while, Gahyeon heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." she spoke softly.

"Hey- whoa, okay, darkness much?" Jiu noted that everything was dark in Gahyeon's room. However, she was still smiling at the sight.

"Oh sorry.. was just making an atmosphere for my movie watching." Gahyeon noted as she stretched her arm to turn on her night light.

"No need, it's okay-" Jiu wanted to tell her but the light was already on. Jiu smiled at Gahyeon and she smiled back.
