Jisung laid down on his bed, waiting for his roommate- Bang Chan to return from his daily activities. Of course, he respected the elder, who seemed to ignore his existence at times.

He was like that since the beginning. Bang Chan had always been regal and aloof, a strong character of personality, he was righteous and hated anything which went against his rules. Maybe Jisung was one of them.. as the boy always attracted trouble because of his free and loud personality.

Jisung wonders how could fate even bring them together like this.. but then again.. it does make sense. He can't erase his name from the marriage book which his past sister has, she must be working hard to keep them all together and connected to Jisung.

While Jisung tried the opposite. Jisung tried to make the others hate him, which is why, he spoke loudly, acted carefree.. well that was his true personality.

" Mm..I feel hot.." He mumbled to himself as he closed his eyes, his temperature rising. I got sick.... He bitterly thought as he sighed. The last thing he saw was a blurry figure sitting beside him and placing something on his forehead.

............. ................. ...............

Past memory.

Han breathed heavily as someone placed a wet rag on his forehead, he had a fever and was sick. His cheeks flushed red and sweating as the temperature seemed to have increased.

Han could make out a blur figure of someone sitting by his side, changing the wet rag and whispering something he couldn't make out. Long black hair which reached till mid- shoulder, fair and pale smooth skin, pink lips curled into a straight line, bright blue eyes watching him intently. It was someone familiar.

Han could make out the white coloured robes which flew due to the wind entering from the windows, the sleeves were huge with light blue borders. He held an aura of authority yet gentleness. His eyes held a look of worry and cautiousness.

Han tried to say something but his voice didn't reach his ears so he kept his mouth shut. He heard something else- a certain familiar tune of that someone playing a beautiful melody- something he'd grown accustomized to.

" Han "

Han thinks he heard it wrong but as he slightly turns his head, he's proven wrong as the familiar male sits there at a certain distance playing the familiar melody on something he doesn't remember. He'd seen it many times.. an ancient Chinese instrument.

Han doesn't think over it for now, he watches the male play for him, it's to relieve his stress and for a clear conscience for him. Han notices a blue and white ribbon tied around the male's forehead- with a golden symbol in the centre.

" - Chan "

.........

Jisung gasped as he woke up hastily bumping his head into something hard-- that something slightly glares at him and moves back.

" I-I'm sorry.." Jisung blushed realising that he hit the elder male, who probably didn't even know what was coming ahead.

The elder didn't respond to him as he merely walked away towards his own bed and sat down to remove his shoes. Jisung stared down at his hands, for the moment ignoring the other male in the room.

* Was it a dream? Why was it so real..? Who was it. .? Was it...* Jisung dares to glance at Bangchan who was busy removing his shoes. He shook his head and let his gaze turn to his fingers.
