❝ where are you ❞

   Taeil was woken once again by you. The you from his dream. Shaking himself from confusion, Taeil stood up from his bed.

   He carried himself into the kitchen. The morning light was incredibly bright, causing Taeil to squint his eyes and go to close the curtains. Though, he paused as he saw your figure next to your car.

   Out of excitement, Taeil ran out of his apartment and down the steps. His bright expression fell when you were no longer standing next to your car. Confused once again, Taeil searched the area for you.

   "Taeil," your voice was carried on the wind. There you stood near the trees, smiling the way he loved so much.

   "There you are." He gave a sigh of relief. "I was going to tell you about my dream—"

   But he was cut off by you walking into the trees. After a couple of steps, you peeked at him from over your shoulder and motioned for him to follow.

   When you disappeared into the trees, Taeil felt compressed. I can't breathe without you.

   Leaves crunched under Taeil's steps as he followed you into the trees. And I can't dream without you.

   Taeil began to feel worried when he couldn't find you. "Where are you? I can't find you," he called out.

   Your laugh echoed and filled the area with something beautiful. Taeil suddenly didn't feel as scared. The sound of your voice whispered through the trees.

   "You're getting warmer."
