At the military's base Minho layed in bed, fully awake. He couldn't sleep. Whenever he has some off time he thought about Taemin. Last time, when they met, the younger wanted to tell him something, but his phone disturb them. Even if Taemin didn't say anything Minho saw the sadness in Taemin's face. Minho thought it must be something very important to him. He wanted to call the younger and talk to him, he wanted to text him, to chat with him, to meet with him and enjoy some good food and time but it was not possible. He had to wait till November, maybe some days earlier but still in November. Maybe he will call the younger tomorrow. Taemin would be surely surprised and happy. Every time he calls the younger Minho exactly hears Taemin's excitnes. Minho was happy that he still could call or text him. He may hasn't as much time as he had some days before but he still had some time to call the younger or text him. 
Minho promises to himself that, as soon as he discarded, he would ask the younger. He wanted to talk to him privately. Taemin seems to tell him his concern privately, otherwise he would have said it when the others are around too, right? Or did he have no courage? Did he want to hear him out first? 
Minho thought about it a lot and found himself falling slowly asleep.

Minho dreamed not good that night. He keeped dreaming about Taemin being hated, people laughing at him and backslashes him.
'Lee Taemin? He is not good.'
'Haha look at him.'
'pff who would be proud of the nickname baby cheese?'
'your hyungs are not here to protect you.'
'Stop it.'
'aww the cute baby wanted the others to stop? Never.' 

As he wakes up, he felt bad. He knows it was just a dream, but he felt bad for the younger. He knows exactly how hard Taemin worked, how much love and passion he put in his music and choreographies and every time he got amazed by this. Amazed by how angelic Taemin looks when he was dancing, how concentrated he was and how his expression changed to a softer and lighter one afterwards. 
Minho wants to hug Taemin and tell him that he did all his best, worked very hard and that he is very proud. Minho made a mental note for himself that he will write Taemin a little support message tonight. This is all he can do for now.

Also Taemin didn't dream very well. He had some nightmares and wakes up very often at night. He was walking in a tunnel and hearing voices. They are laughing at him and making fun of his fears, making fun of his little behaviors, things he can't change. Taemin starts to run to leave this tunnel but it seems endless. He tripped over and fell on the ground, hurting his knees and hand palms. The laughing got louder and more. It sounded like a concert hall was laughing at him tripping over his foots. He sits on the ground, leaning against the wall and covers his ears, but keeps hearing the voices. He pulled his legs closer and curled up. Tears start to run down his cheeks. 'Stop it.' he said. He starts to cry. 'Please stop it.' he whispers. He sobs a little bit until it finally breaks out of him. 'SHUT UP!' 

With this Taemin wakes up. As soon as he realizes what he just dreamed, he starts to feel uncomfortable. His wish to talk about his fears with his best friend starts to grow more and more. He wanted to have them back, he wanted to have him back. Taemin became the urge feeling to just lay down with Minho, cuddling and talking with him about his fears. Just spending time without doing something exciting or exhausting. Only relaxing and enjoying the time they could spend together, but unfortunately he had to wait. Taemin had to wait and at the very first he had to tell Minho his feelings and Minho had to feel the same way as he did.
