Chapter Six

His body is drenched in sweat as he tossed to the other side of the bed. The room is ice-cold but still it does not help with the heat that is spreading through his body

He is awake however he cannot open his eyes. It is like someone glued them together.

His mind is flashing the incident that he tries to forget the most. His lips were mumbling some incoherent words.

"Mama, don't leave me... " The poor boy pleads in his sleep as his body is shaking from the crying.

"I'm sorry Guanheng.. "

"Mama..." tears escape from his closed eyes.

"Hendery!" His eyes shot open, does not bother to adjust to the light as shock is written all over his face. His eyes automatically wander all over the place.

He is at the hospital. He tries to recall what happened.

He thought that he was at home.

Dejun.

His best friend's name came across his mind as he gained tonight's event clearly.

Kun shakes his head as he took a sit beside the boy. "Same dream again? "

The boy rubs his face as he cleared his throat; trying to conceal the "ketakutan* to himself.  "Everytime."

A sight escapes the brunette boy's mouth as he pats the younger's shoulder.

He honestly doesn't know how to help his friend to overcome his deep trauma.

'It must be very hard for you Guanheng.. I'm sorry. I don't know how to help you.' The older bores his gaze to his friend that he supposes his brother with an apologetic look.

"You should go home. Take a rest. You must be tired. " Kun speaks up after a moment of silence.

" I don't know... I want to stay here for Dejun tho-"

The older cuts him off before he could finish his sentence. "I'm here, I could take care of him. Sicheng's here too- I guess. He must be somewhere around here so don't worry. You should go home. "

The older reassures him with a smile and a pat on his shoulder. Hendery let out a sigh as he notices the seriousness in Kun's voice.

"Okay, I'll go home. Just give me a buzz if he's awake. "

"I will. "

Guanheng finally gives in as he walks down the corridor and exit the white buildings.

 His mind is wandering somewhere else. He cannot focus. This often happen whenever he got the dream.

"That's it. I have to meet them." With that he fished out his phone from the sweater. His finger scrolls through the contact list searching for either one of their names.

"Shoot-- Why are you so stupid Dery?! They don't have phones!" he smacks his head in frustration with the phone in his hand as he is trying to stay awake and focuse.

He heaves a heavy sigh and ruffle his hair in frustration. "I guess I'll just try my luck then."

With that his feet managed their own ways to the local convenience store that located few blocks away from the hospital. His eyes went to the straps that are wrapped nicely on his left wrist.

2.30 am

"I hope he's there.." he mumbles to himself with a finger-cross.

Soon, after 10 minutes of walking through the narrow shortcut; the '7 ELEVEN' signboard greets his sight.

He stop on his track as he thought to himself. He is not sure if this is the right place but his gut tells him it is. He groans in frustration.

"Mental note, You are crazy Huang Guanheng."

The buzz sound echoes indiciating that he has entered the store. His eyes are wandering around every place to see if there is the person that he is currently looking for right now.

It somehow broke his heart as he could not find anybody in the store. "He must've finished his shift here.. Or I am at the wrong place?" he mumbles in dissapointment as he turned around to get out from the store.

"Meow~"

"MeOwW~" Guanheng turned to find the voice's source as it led him to the counter. There was a giant figure under the counter mumbling inchoherent words.

"Xuxi?" He, again tries his luck and calls out his brother's name as the person lifted up his head from the narrow counter only to bumped it to the counter top.

"Ouch— Guan— Hey Didi! " He finally managed to get out from that narrow space and bro hugged Guanheng.

Guanheng released a delightful sigh as he returned Xuxi's hug and pulls away after 10 seconds.

"How do you know I am here? " Xuxi asked with a wide grin spread across his face. He is very happy to see his younger brother even though they just met up two days ago.

He misses Guanheng so much.

Guanheng grins along with Xuxi. "I follow my guts. I guess our telepathy is real."

Xuxi did not wait any second he burst into laughter. He could not contain his excitement. He really needs to tell y/n that he met Guanheng today.

Guess what? He do think telepathy between Guanheng and him is real by the moment Guanheng speaks up.

"Don't tell y/n that we met. "

Xuxi's smile faded as he saw how Guanheng's expression turns dull in a split second.

"I need to talk to you.. "

His hand landed on his younger brother shoulder in a comforting way. "what is it? "

"It's about the dream that I often get lately. "

"The dream of that night. " he continues.
