05-dreaming

I started to dragging hyung into the water. Whether or not he didn't want to I still want to play with him in the ocean. At least a little before I would have to go home.
“Come on hyung! It won't be that bad! I promise!!”
I smiled brightly, maybe he needed a little resurgence.

“Hyuka.. I can't play with you now. You know that I especially can't go in the water.”

“.. But surely you can only for a few minutes!”

“No hyuka, I can't. I'm sorry but you'll have to go back home.”
Home.. I didn't want to go ‘home’ I want to stay here.

“Hyuka please. You'll see me again.”

Kai shot up breathing heavily. No he didn't want to wake up. He wanted to continue dreaming. Because although it didn't make sense at all he always saw that one stranger in his dreams. He doesn't know him in real life but, he once saw him and somehow remembered his face. Ending up to seeing him everytime in his dreams. He had noticed his dreams became more like lucid dreams.

He suddenly heard someone throw open his bedroom door, turing his towards the person who did so.

His uncle. He screamed at him;
“You lazy ass! It's already 2 in the afternoon! Get up now and go to the store! Your stupid older sister is visiting later.”
Kai nodded, getting out of bed and closing his door. Sighing, his uncle was the real ‘lazy ass’ here. He never wanted to do something on his own. And how dare he call his sister stupid?

Kai was in the convenience store buying some ingredients for kimbap and some drinks. When he arrived at the snack sections he saw a blond or pastel pink-purplish headed guy. Taking a bag of gummies a small forming on his plump lips. He, he looked like the stranger he saw before, the guy in his dreams.

“Sorry but you can just tell me if I look handsome ya know? No need to stare and observe me!” the male said looking to his side looking at Kai laughing. He must be pretty confident. But he isn't lying, he indeed is pretty handsome.

I chuckled, “Oh, heh, sorry for the staring. But you're indeed correct I was indeed admiring your beauty.”
The shorter male looked up into Kai's eyes. They, they looked sad..
“Sir, sorry if this is anything personal.. but you, you have this look in your eyes, it's a bit like you're upset.. are you okay?”
Kai was shocked, no one ever saw his sadness in his eyes. No stranger, no family member, no friend. But what could he tell this pretty boy? He's a stranger too after all..

“Sir? Hmm.. look I might not know you but I can't stand when people are upset and I just leave them without trying to help. So take any snack you like and I'll pay for it! It's a small thing but it can sometimes lift someone's energy!”

“Ah, no no, no need. It's fine really!”

“No. I insist. You complimented me on my beauty so take this as a ‘thank you’!”
Kai sighed, how could he keep on rejecting this boy's offer? It would only seem rude to do so.
“Alright fine, hm can I, can I have mint choco ice cream then?”

“You like that-? O-oh uh, sure. I'm not really a fan of that but since it's for you I have no right to complain!”

Kai and the stranger, rather Kai and Beomgyu were now walking home together. Apparently Beomgyu wanted to talk more since he likes to talk and he wanted to lift my mood. Plus he lives a street from mine, we'll his house comes first and than mine but that doesn't matter.

“So.. Kai was your name? I have to go left here. I enjoyed talking to you. Enjoy the rest of your day okay?” Beomgyu said smiling.

“Actually, Beomgyu-”
