In Another Lifetime [Minchan]

Chapter 8

I'll let you see me

---

It was like pure dream as they celebrate their victory.

"Wahhh, I'm so proud of us finally winning and achieving our dream." Hyunjin clapped.

They had their small spot on the campus, where the school could give them privacy. The boys were really thankful that they were given a chance to have some time alone with each other.

"5 years we've been joining that competition...Wahhh it's a dream come true." Felix also took a sip of his can clapping along with Hyunjin.

"Look, guys...it wouldn't be all real if we didn't work together." Allen said, adding his point.

"That's true! I can say we did our very best this year. Cheers to us, to this friendship~" Seungmin did a small dance making the others laugh at his cuteness.

Minho was just admiring his group of how happy they were, now that they finally won the competition. He had witnessed a lot of things happened during the years they had been joining and practicing, there were up and downs but he was more amazed that they stayed strong together after all these years.

"Oh, Minho hyung!" Felix called making Minho turn towarda him.

"Hmm?" he replied

"Allen hyung told us about you struggling on your academics from your class, we can help you if you want." Felix offered and gave a smile.

Minho paused for a moment and thought about it.

"Ah I'll see what I can say about it...right now I really wanna learn more about the story and the book." Minho replied and gave the younger a gentle pat on the head.

"But hyung, just remember that if you ever need help, you can always come to us, right?" Seungmin told him and Hyunjin putting his arm around Minho's shoulder as well.

Minho smiled at his friends.

"Sure guys."

He remembered about his plan again, was it even a good idea to go? His guts were telling him not to, but something in him makes him want to go there and find out himself. He wants to know about the hidden secrets.

He gradually walks around the campus again, late in the afternoon and holding on to some stuffs he needed to give to a certain person.

"What was his name again...Se...Selim? Serim?" Minho whispered as he was walking towards the other building, to find a boy named Serim, because Allen shared to Minho that Serim needed the transferee documents.

He wasn't really paying much attention to everything around him, not even noticing someone going closer until he bumped into that person, quick to look up.

Who?...

There's no one here...

He scanned his surroundings, only to find no one around and even a student who bumped into him. It was slightly giving Minho such a confusion he doesn't understand.

He glanced down on the things he was holding and suddenly saw a piece of drawing...more like a door or something, a golden door?

Did someone just left the drawing?

He held the sketch of the weird door, as he scans it and finds himself lost in the drawing.

"Excuse me." He quickly diverted his gaze from the drawing and saw a tall boy, having dark violet hair looking at him.

"I think those are mine." he pointed to the documents Minho was holding as the other kept quiet.

"I'm Serim, I assume you're the one Allen sent to deliver them to me?" he smiled as Minho quickly nods and handling him the documents.

"S-sorry about looking at your stuff, and uhh yeah I'm Allen's cousin." Minho bowed in apology.

"Hmm no worries, you don't look like someone who isn't trustworthy at all. I'm Serim, his classmate." Serim smiled again and introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you, I'll be going now, have a good day." Minho bid farewell as Serim nodded and waved goodbye as well.

"Sure thing, be careful on your way." Serim said onto him, also turning away and going to Minho's other direction.

Minho was still left confused about the guy and slowly turned back around to find him, but he was once again confused how did he disappear si fast?

Was his mind playing tricks on him again?

---

He approaches another way, damn him for foegetting his way and suddenly getting lost in a familiar university. He sighs as he took another route to go back to their spot.

It was like in a flash, as he spots that familiar hooded figure again, staring right back at him.

A wave of unfamiliar feelingof shiver rose in Minho's insides that he keeps hearing whispers again, louder this time.

He didn't hesitate to run as fast as he can as the voices kept getting louder, it was breaking his eardrums and his vision was becoming blurr in a second. He wants to escape of whatever he was into and just stop.

His feet dragging it to somewhere but a dead end. His legs were sore from running away, but the voices were just keep getting louder and louder, it was destroying him and his mind.

He has nowhere to go and looks at the dead end...he was weak to even know where he was.

"Hey hey! You alright!" he was on his knees as a familiar figure approached him and held him, helping to stand correctly.

"Voices..." he keeps on looking around to find his way out, it was no use...he was getting weaker as the seconds go by.

"Chill for a second for me mate, and please breathe." the guy told him and it was then that Minho noticed who he was.

His eyes squinting as he stare on to the blurry figure of the guy who was standing in front of him and who was helping him.

But he grew onto his weakest state and his body collapsed right there and then. The boy was quick enough to catch him while his eyes widening.

"Woah..woah...Minho wake up!" He tried shaking the orange haired boy but it was no use...

He thinks of a way and shouted.

“Peter! Lewis!”

Two another figure rushed next to the blonde guy.

"Chris?—"

"Woah...wait is that the dancer from yesterday?" Peter asked them both while looking at Minho's face.

"We have no time to discuss, help me carry him!" Chris looked at his friends and they quickly nodded, helping the oldest carry the orange haired boy.
