how can a dream that felt too real affect someone?

it was too good to be true, jungkook knows that. it was too good to be real, but he thought that like any other story, even tho it's too good, it's real.

but it isnt.

jungkook moved from his place at the door and went to his bathroom. he stripped out of his pyjamas, hopped in the shower and opened it. he didnt do anything, he just let the water wash him and flow down his body.

he softly touched his lips, afraid that if he touched it too hard, the feeling of yoongi's lips on his lips would fade away. he closed his eyes, tears running down his face.

everything felt too real to just be a dream.

the numerous blush he got because of embarrassment,

the cold shivers that went down his spine when yoongi held his hand,

the butterflies in his stomach when yoongi looked at him in the eye,

the feel of yoongi's hands on his face,

the spark he felt when their lips collided...

all turned to dust and faded away.

he turned off the shower and stepped out to look at himself at the mirror. he had to wipe the moist that formed on the mirror to be able to see his reflection clearly.

the bags under his eyes are darker and feels heavier than before, but it was nothing that a concealer can't hide. he also covered up the small scar on his cheek before drying himself off with his fluffy towel and going out of the bathroom.

jungkook grabbed a random shirt and pair of jeans from his closet and slipped it on. he stopped short when he realized that he got a white shirt.

the same shirt that he wore last night.

jungkook looked out of the window and just in time saw jin hopping in his car. a few minutes after, jin drove off. jungkook grabbed his wallet and phone and went out of their house. jin would get mad if he wouldnt see jungkook at the university today.

×××

"i'll take care of my dongsaeng, hyungs! dont worry and enjoy your date!" tae slung an arm around jungkook and waved at the couple namely jin and namjoon who's walking away from them from the bus stop.

jin and namjoon are going to the cinemas and of course, jin being the oblivious one, didnt get the idea of 'date' and asked jungkook to come with them.

fortunately for namjoon, jungkook knows what he's up to and immediately declined the offer. but he had to drag tae down with him so he could convince jin that he has a matter to attend to with taehyung even if there's none.

and now he has no choice but to go home with tae and it's jungkook's first time to ride a bus without his 'parent' hyungs.

the bus stopped and the line started moving. taehyung gripped jungkook's arm and pulled him.

"kaja. i want a seat by the window~"

they got seats at the further back of the bus and immediately sat before anyone else could occupy the seats. a few minutes after, the bus moved and tae couldnt shut up about random things.

"do you think rabbits do exist in mars, kookie? mrs. kang said it's impossible, but i saw a rabbit when i looked through the telescope last night!"

jungkook raised a brow. "since when did you have a telescope, hyung?"

"hoseokie-hyung went to my house the other day and made me one using toilet paper rolls and tape. i swear he's the sweetest guy ever!" tae gushed about his boyfriend and continued babbling random stuff which annoyed the elderly couple that's sitting in front of them.

"bus stop no. 7, jeongsunban station. bus stop no. 7, jeongsunban station. please do not block the doors so passengers could go in and out easily. we'll leave in ten minutes, thank you."

jungkook looked out as the bus came to a halt and saw a park. teenagers and children make up most of the people in the park, and jungkook thought of how much he missed going to parks back in busan.

jungkook suddenly felt someone flicked his forehead and saw an annoyed taehyung.

"yah, jeon jungkook! did you get what im saying or what?!"

jungkook massaged his swollen forehead and shook his head sheepishly, earning him another flick from taehyung.

a few minutes after, the driver announced to move out of the doorways and closed it before the bus started moving again.

jungkook sighed and leaned back on his seat. he looked out of the window and was about to close his eyes when suddenly, something very familiar caught his eyes that he didnt even waste a sweat and stood up and grabbed the emergency handle, making the bus stop all of a sudden and the people to jerk forward.

"stop, stop! i need to get off!" jungkook said as he went to the driver. taehyung followed him, completely surprised at what his bestfriend did.

"but we just came from a stop, mister. you can get off at the next stop." the driver said calmly. jungkook massaged his temples and tried negotiating with the driver. taehyung snapped at jungkook.

"we need to go home, jungkook! what's wrong with you?"

jungkook ran a hand through his face, frustrated that he cant explain his reason why. he begged to the driver through his eyes, and the driver sighed and pulled a lever.

the doors opened.

jungkook grinned and bowed his head and thanked the driver and apologized for the inconvenience. he then turned to tae and told him that he'll be home before the sun sets and went out without further ado, leaving tae confused and alone.

jungkook ran and he let out a sigh, not believing that it was actually real, that something in his dream is actually real and wasnt just a pigment of his imagination.

it's the tree that looks like the letter 't',

where he and yoongi sat on in his dream.

he walked towards it, feeling his tears well up in his eyes. he touched the trunk softly, scared that it might fade away under his touch, but it didnt, and jungkook cant help but grin.

he hoisted himself up and sat on the same branch he sat on in his dream and looked at the scenery in front of him.

jungkook fished out his phone and earphones that he had with him. with a slight doubt, he searched up mixyourtape.cg and went to yoongi's profile and played one of his mixtapes.

with the scenery before his eyes, the familiar tree below him, and yoongi's voice ringing in his ears,

he somehow felt at home.

he soon fell asleep, his back against one of the branches of the branch he's sitting on. he woke up half an hour later when he felt something itchy on his nape. he shook it off and was about to go back to sleep when it suddenly got more itchy so he tried scratching it using his hand but was shocked when his hand felt something weird on his nape.

it's an effin caterpillar.

his eyes widened and he backed away, and it was too late when he realized that he's on a tree branch and now he's falling.

again.

'great.', jungkook thought. 'at least this little incident is a dream or it would have been very nasty.' he thought as he waited for his fall. he closed his eyes, ready to wake up in his bed.

"ow!"

jungkook groaned his as back hit something hard. he hissed in pain.

'so it wasnt a dream then?' he wondered as he rubbed his back. 'well, at least the ground isnt that hard as i thought.'

"ugh, it would be nice if you get off of me, you know."

jungkook froze.

'who was that?'

"im right here below you, stupid."

jungkook looked down and realized he's sitting on an abdomen, specifically someone's abdomen. he flushed beet red and scrambled off of the person and turned away, too embarrassed.

"ugh, my back hurts. ow, my head too..."

jungkook swore he heard that voice before, he even dreamt of it. it sounds very familiar to him that he doesnt even need to confirm whom it was. he looked up and locked eyes with the person he fell on.

black hair.

porcelain skin.

blood red lips.

shorty.

min yoongi.

yoongi's breath hitched up his throat upon locking eyes with the person who suddenly fell down on him from out of nowhere as he was walking.

he doesnt know the boy in front of him, but he's very familiar that he cant help but widen his eyes as he remembered where he has seen him.

mahogany brown hair.

slightly pale skin.

doe eyes.

kissable lips.

'he's the guy from that weird dream.' yoongi thought as he stood up and brushed the grasses and dust off of him. he extended a hand out to jungkook, who's still frozen on his spot, his eyes never leaving yoongi.

yoongi took it as a sign that he wouldnt do anything but stare at him the whole day so he pulled the younger by his waist to stand him up, making jungkook shriek.

"you werent doing anything, thought i should help." yoongi said with a shrug and grabbed his phone and that fell on the ground. nothing serious, just got some dirt on it. it wouldve been worse.

"y-yoongi...?"

yoongi's head snapped back to jungkook, who's looking at him with watery eyes. yoongi raised a brow at the familiar boy.

"how do you know my name?"

jungkook doesnt know what to say. should he tell yoongi that he dreamt of him after listening to his mixtapes all night? or make up a lie and say he just guessed?

jungkook was about to speak up but yoongi beat him to it. "this may sound fucking weird, by weird i mean really really weird, like-out-of-this-world kind of weird, but by any chance, is your name jeon jungfook?"

jungkook froze.

'y-yoongi knows my name?!'

"h-how did you—"

"another weird fact but ive seen you in my dreams last night, i dont even know why." yoongi explained and felt his cheeks heat up.

"i dreamt of you last night too!" jungkook exclaimed, shocked. "w-we were at this place called the dome a-and you were this house rapper that goes by the name s-suga and—"

"holy fucking mac and cheese, did we have the same fucking dream because istg that was exactly what ive dreamt of!" yoongi exclaimed, not believing what's currently happening right now. how could that be possible, two guys who dont even know each other, appearing in each other's dreams and having the same dream?

"i know that we just met tonight, but answer me..."

jungkook's eyes widened as he slowly turned to yoongi, who's looking at him with soft eyes. jungkook nodded, and yoongi took this as a sign to continue.

"...can you wait for me?

...will you wait for me?"

the tears flowed down on jungkook's cheeks, and he widely smiled. yoongi doesnt know why he said that, he just felt like it's right to say and now that he already said it, he felt something that he hasn't felt before.

he felt complete.

"c-can i hug you, yoongi-hyung?"

yoongi cant help but smile his infamous gummy smile and nodded, opening his arms.

jungkook ran to his arms and hugged yoongi, and the older returned the hug, actually feeling much better.

for the first time that he's been away from his true home in busan,

he felt safe and at home in yoongi's arms.
