2 Months Later

-

I woke up in a bed I didn't recognize.

I looked around the room since I was too tired to move, and I didn't recognize the room either.

"Oh! You're awake now! I'm so relieved~!"

I heard a familiar voice enter.

I turned my head to the voice, but I was kind of confused when I saw who it was.

It was me from Earth, but this time he had a mullet.

"...What..happened...?"

"You tell me! I found you here a month ago! I heard crying in the woods nearby, and there you were. I kept asking you what was wrong and how you got here, but it seemed that despite your crying, you were unconscious. So, the others and I brought you back to our dorms. This is my room"

He sat on the edge of the bed next to me.

"...I was unconscious for a month..?"

"Mhm, or at least I think you were. We don't know how long you were out there before I found you. But we were all very worried about you, especially Taeyong-hyung"

I remember what happened now...

I felt my lip quiver, and I started sobbing again.

"Dude, what's wrong??? Did something happen on Ethora??? Tell me!"

My twin got tissues and helped me sit up, wiping my tears that wouldn't stop.

"T-They're a-all g-gone..."

"Who's gone?!"

"E-Everyone..."

I sobbed as I hugged him.

He returned the hug, and began rubbing my back to try and calm me down.

"Injunie! What's going on?! Why is Renjunie crying?!"

I heard Taeyong's voice as he walked in.

"I'm not really sure hyung. I asked if something happened on Ethora, but all he said was that they're all gone. I asked who was gone, and he just said everyone..."

"I see... Give him to me, and follow me"

I felt my twin pick me up, and as soon as Taeyong held me, I cried harder and held onto him tightly.

"Whatever happened definitely wasn't good... Gather everyone up, including WayV. We have to figure this out and find a way to help him..."

-

10 Minutes Later

-

Taeyong sat me on his lap, and my twin brought me warm milk with a straw that I requested.

Everyone's twins were gathered in the room, and they were ready to hear me out.

"So Renjunie, out of everyone in this room, who's gone on Ethora?"

Taeyong questioned.

"Everyone..."

I sadly stated.

He seemed very surprised.

"What happened?!"

"We got captured by these three guys that pursued me and most of my brothers when we were kids. They attacked our city with a giant robot. So, we boarded the robot to ambush them, but we got ourselves captured. They opened seven different portals for all of us, to send us to seven different worlds. Taeyong-hyung and the rest of you from my world tried to reach us, but the robot blasted them all before they could, and now they're gone... The seven of us got separated, and I apparently ended up here. I have no idea where the rest of them are, and I have no way of getting back home or finding them without my other hyungs..."

Everyone had a look of sadness on their faces.

They didn't know how to react.

"We're so sorry Renjunie... But the way I see it, you're lucky to not only be alive, but you're also lucky that you ended up here with us"

Taeyong reassured as I sipped my milk.

Chenle loves warm milk..., especially chocolate...

"Yeah! And I'm sure there's a way to find the others! There just has to be! We just don't know it yet!"

My twin exclaimed.

"But I have no idea where they are... What if they ended up somewhere dangerous...?"

"They're all heroes in training like you right?! Then I'm positive they'll be able to defend themselves if they did end up somewhere dangerous! And besides, they'll have loads of luck since you all have really cool powers!"

"You really think so...~?"

"You managed to singlehandedly take on your own cousin, and he was über powerful! If you could do that all by yourself, then they can do just as good as you~!"

He smiled and poked my cheek, making me smile a little.

"Now no more tears! We have to find a way to cheer you up, even if it's just a little bit~!"

"...I like watching movies with the others. Maybe that'll cheer me up a little...~"

"Then let's all have a movie night! You pick~!"

-

5 Hours Later

-

We all had dinner together and watched multiple movies with Renjun.

Our Renjun noticed that his hair had gotten longer since the last time we saw him, so he begged me to give him a mullet like his.

It's so cute~. They look like actual twins now~.

He soon ended up falling asleep while sitting on my lap, so I carefully picked him up and carried him to bed. I gently laid him down, and covered him up.

He stirred in his sleep and whimpered a little bit. He had a sad look on his face too. I leaned down and kissed his forehead, and he calmed down.

He turned over and continued sleeping.

It's so sad. Our Renjun found him in the woods while it was raining. He was soaking wet and crying, but he was unconscious. Renjun was with the Dreamies that day, and they hurried him back to our dorms.

The members of WayV were in the dorms when they brought him here. They had just returned from China, and Lucas was the only one that wasn't completely confused.

Of course, everyone but the Dreamies and Jungwoo were confused as well, seeing that there were two Renjun's in the room, so we had to explain everything to them, slowly.

He was a little sick from the rain, so we all took care of him. He started getting better, but he wouldn't wake up. Many times, he cried in his sleep, sometimes for hours at a time.

We don't even know how long he was out there for. I'm surprised he didn't end up on Twitter because of a curious fan, mistaking him for our Renjun. But we were lucky Renjun found him when he did.

I was happy that he was finally awake a few hours ago, but I still can't believe all of this happened to him.

Who knows where the other Dreamies ended up, but I hope they're ok, for his sake...

-

I left the room and met up with everyone else, who looked very sad.

"Hyung, are they all really gone...?"

Chenle asked sadly.

"I don't know Lele... But seeing how sad he was, it sure looks like it... But I just can't believe it"

"Wait. Hyung, wouldn't it affect us if they were dead, as well as any other versions of us that might exist???"

"I don't think so Lucas. I think that's only for the laws of time travel. Usually if something happens to a past version of yourself, you'll end up ceasing to exist in the future. But..., let me try something..."

I pulled out my phone and dialed the other Taeyong's number, because yes I did save it.

It rang...

And rang...

And rang...

"Hey! Can you hear me?!"

IT WAS THE OTHER TAEYONG!

Everyone in the room jumped up in pure shock, but I shushed them so that no one would wake up Renjun.

He really needs to rest.

"Hey! You're alive?!"

"And is everyone else alive too?!"

Renjun asked after me.

"Of course. Everyone is here. Why wouldn't we be??"

"Renjunie thinks you're all dead! He's completely heartbroken! I'm pretty sure the other Dreamies think that too, wherever they are!"

I silently yelled.

"Really?! We're not though! We managed to fake our deaths thanks to Yuta's quick thinking~"

"How-, nevermind. How are you going to get Renjun back home??? And how are you going to find the other Dreamies??? He said they're all separated in seven different worlds. Thankfully, he ended up here, but he's really worried about the others"

"Doyoung is currently working on that now. You know that device we used to make those portals last time? He's upgrading it so we can use it to find them~!"

"That really is so cool~! What time will it be ready???"

"It should be ready in a few minutes. How's Injunie doing?"

"He's asleep. I just put him to bed a few minutes ago. He was very sad when he woke up, so we all spent time with him to make him feel better"

"And he was sick and unconscious when we found him, so we took care of him~!"

Renjun cheered.

"I'm so glad to hear that~. You all did well~. But don't wake him up. I want him to rest some more. I'll call you tomorrow morning before he wakes up. That way, you all can surprise him"

"Sure thing~. I'm glad we can help~. I'll let you get back to what you were doing. I look forward to hearing from you tomorrow~"

We all said our goodbyes to my twin, and he hung up.

"This is so great~! Renjunie will be so happy~!"

"There's another Doyoung??"

Doyoung asked in pure shock.

"You'll all meet your other halves soon. Just maybe not tomorrow. It's all about Renjun after all~"

-

The Next Morning
8am

-

I woke everyone up, except Renjun.

He has to be surprised after all.

The other Taeyong called a few minutes ago, saying the portal should be opened up outside, and to meet him there.

We all made our way outside, and he was standing right beside it waving to us.

"Good to see you again~!"

I cheered as I hugged him.

"Good to see all of you too~, especially the Dreamies. We haven't seen ours in a while..."

He sadly smiled.

"You'll get them back~"

I reassured, smiling at him.

"Wow... There really is another Taeyong"

Johnny was simply amazed, as was everyone else.

"Pleased to meet you all~. Sorry we had to meet on these terms, but we'll all hang out one day~"

They all seemed happy to hear that, knowing they wanted to meet their other halves.

"Oh! Is Injunie still asleep??"

He asked, returning his attention to me.

"He is~. We can go get him now if you want~"

"Great~. Well, see you soon~?"

"See you soon~"

I nodded.

"Thank you all so much for keeping him safe. I really appreciate it~"

He waved goodbye to us, and went back into the portal.

I told everyone else to stay here while I went to get Renjun.

-

"Renjunie~~. Wake up~~. We have a surprise for you~~"

He groaned a little, but he got up.

I held his hand as he walked with me so that he wouldn't accidentally fall or bump into anything.

When we got outside, he rubbed his eyes in pure disbelief, and everyone smiled at him.

"Surprise~~~!!!!"

They all yelled.

I led him to the portal since he was just standing there in pure shock.

He seemed happy, but confused.

"I-Is this...?"

"Yup~. It's your ticket home~"

"But..., how???"

"No time for questions! You've gotta hurry and get home. You've got people waiting for you~"

-

I have people waiting for me...?

But, my hyungs...are all dead...

My twin walked up to me with the other Dreamies, and he put his arm around my shoulder.

"Believe me, you're gonna love your surprise~"

He smiled.

I looked at all the others, and they nodded and smiled too.

"...Thank you all so much...~. I don't what to say..~"

"Then don't say anything, and go back home~. We'll hang out again soon, with better circumstances~"

All of the Dreamies and Taeyong hugged me, and said their goodbyes before I went through the portal.

-

Back on Ethora

-

"Welcome home Injunie~~~!"

I stood there, not knowing if this was a dream or not.

But I didn't care.

Taeyong...

Johnny...

Lucas and Jungwoo...

...T-They're all alive!

They're all here, welcoming me back home with open arms!

I wasted no time, and ran up to Taeyong, engulfing him in a hug. My tears started falling again, but this time I was happy. I was especially happy when they all engulfed me in a group hug.

I didn't lose them after all~.

-

2 Hours Later

-

"How is this even possible?! I thought the robot killed you all!"

"Yuta managed to save us~"

Taeyong cheered.

"Really?! But how?!"

"I knew it wouldn't be that easy to board the robot and get to you all. They had to be planning something, and I was right. Luckily, I used my warp gate just in time before they did manage to kill us. We ended up in Japan, but I got us back here in a jiffy. Unfortunately, the seven of you were gone, and we had no idea where any of you were"

Yuta explained.

"I worked hard these past two months to try and upgrade the universal portal device, but I just kept failing because I was so worried about you and the others... But I finally managed to do it~"

Doyoung happily explained.

"We thought we'd have to visit every single world out there to find you all, but when the other Taeyong called me, I knew one of you must've ended up on Earth, conveniently with our other halves again~"

Taeyong cheered.

"I'm glad I did end up there. I don't know what I would've done without them... But how did you upgrade the machine hyung?"

I asked Doyoung.

"I upgraded it so that it can help us find your brothers. All we need is a piece of each of their dna, and it will tell us exactly what world they ended up on. But unfortunately, it won't tell us their exact location. So, I made seven rings for each of you. That way, you'll always know each other's location and always be able to find each other in the future~"

Doyoung exclaimed, handing me the rings.

He informed me that mine out of the seven was the one with little flowers in it, since I can control plants.

I put it on immediately, and put the rest of the rings in a tiny bag he gave me.

"Renjun. You're the only one who can save them. You have to visit all seven of the worlds that they're in, and bring them back"

Johnny said with a soft, but serious expression.

"I'll do it hyung. I'll bring them back"

Doyoung handed me an earpiece to use on my journey.

That way, I could talk to them, and they could talk to me if they needed to.

"Who do you want to save first?"

Hendery asked.

I thought about it for a moment, and finally decided.

"Chenle"

They smiled and led me to the lab where the portal device was.

Doyoung placed a hair that belonged to Chenle in the device, and it showed us the exact world he was on!

Planet Ziria.

It's known for having very little inhabitants because of its growing depletion of meat. The planet is basically nothing but plants, unfortunately for Chenle.

He's not of big fan of eating just plants for too long.

"I really gotta hurry. He won't last out there much longer"

I was about to hop in the portal that just opened up, but Jaehyun stopped me.

"Take this with you. Don't open it until you get there, but heat it up a little and set it outside to find Chenle. I know he'll come running to it~"

Jaehyun smiled, handing me a bag with something in it.

"Is it food???"

"You'll find out soon enough~. Now go save him~"

"Right~!"

I happily smiled at them one last time before I went through the portal, with a mission to save my brothers.

I really hope Chenle is ok...
