“Hey, can your friend really make Yeonjun come back?”

Kai nods while sipping on his drink. “I trust him,” he said.

“How will he do it? I don’t know much about lucid things but I only know is that they live inside the dream,” Taehyun states.

“That’s right. There are four levels of lucid dreaming,” Kai started and the two paid attention. “First, you are aware that you are inside a dream. Second, you can control your dream. Third, you can manipulate the people’s action and reconstruct your dream. Fourth, you can enter someone’s subconscious,” he explained.

“So Soobin’s in the fourth level!?” Beomgyu exclaimed.

“No,” Hueningkai answered. “He went over those four levels… He can’t just enter other’s subconscious… he can also manipulate other’s dreams and he can do more than that.”

“Hello!” an unfamiliar voice greeted Soobin, it’s lively; really enthusiastic. “It’s my first time to have a visitor! Welcome to my world, I thought you’re one of the people inside my subconscious. Nice to meet you, I’m Choi Yeonjun!” he introduced and lends his hand, still smiling widely.

“I’m actually lost… Do you know where the way out is?” Soobin asks instead, didn’t introduced himself.

“W-way out?” Yeonjun repeated and he takes back his hand. “I’m not sure…” he almost whispered.

Soobin turns around to see everything and he nods. “This is your world? Too noisy,” he commented and started walking.

“I-it is? Should I c-change the surrounding a bit?” Yeonjun asks, unsurely.

Soobin looks around and he saw, concert dome, tall broadcasting buildings, huge shopping malls, parks, LED screens that shows promotion dramas and idols instead of news.

A really Choi Yeonjun’s world.

“You can change it?” Soobin asks, acting a bit surprise.

“I'll try? Can’t you do it in your dreams?” Yeonjun asks while walking closer to him.

Try. Soobin can do more than that. “No… maybe that’s why I’m lost too,” Soobin lied. “I’m thankful to meet you. I thought I’ll enter some nightmares,” he added and smiles a bit.

“Oh!” Yeonjun exclaimed, face is bright again. “In here there’s no horror or sadness! I’m just enjoying things here!”

Soobin stares at him for seconds. “How long have you been staying in here?”

“Huh?”

“You quiet… stayed for long, right?” Soobin asks, wanting to caught Yeonjun's reaction.

Seeing how realistic this Yeonjun’s world as he labeled, as well as the people and all moving things in here as well built. Yeonjun relaly did everything to make this the world that he wanted in reality. Soobin knew it right away.

“No of course! Just stayed here from time to time, I wake up too,” Yeonjun reasoned out. Soobin obviously knows his lying. Everything changes whenever you get back to your dream. That’s why Soobin’s sketching the structure of his dreams so he can build it the same way again.

“I see,” Soobin just reacted. “Can I stay here for some time? While I’m trying to figure out how can I go back,” Soobin asked.

“Of course! I would love to!” Yeonjun exclaimed, eyes are sparkling. “Let’s go to my place!” Yeonjun suddenly invited and snaps his finger.

Suddenly both of them are now at the terrace, not just an ordinary room terrace but it’s surrounded by almost pinkish clouds and there’s the sunset far from them that’s making the clouds turns peach. There are lights bulb hanging on the terrace and there’s a couch with pillows, even the floor is clouds. When you look above, there’s a crescent moon. The place is so fantastically dreamy.

“Take a seat,” Yeonjun offered Soobin a seat.

“It’s great in here,” Soobin commented and rest himself on the couch.

“Right!? That’s why I love in here. In your dreams, how was it in there?” Yeonjun asks back.

Soobin was taken aback, “Ain’t like this but I’m fine with it,” he answered.

“Is your voice always that blunt? You should at least be lively! Come on, it’s a great place to sound so cold!” Yeonjun noticed and laughs at him.

“Are you lost too?”

Yeonjun’s smiles started to fades out slowly and he looks away. “I am not lost… I’m just wandering around,” he replied.

“A dream wanderer doesn’t stay in the same place, Choi Yeonjun,” Soobin stated.

Yeonjun frowns and directly look at Soobin. “Who are you?” he asks. “I wasn’t the one who stops all the movement earlier when you arrived. I, myself is even surprised because it’s the first time that happened. Who… really are you?”

“Choi Yeonjun, I’m here to fetch you. You gotta go back to reality. You’ve been coma for five years, you’ve been stuck here for five years. You need to wake up,” Soobin stated.

Yeonjun stands up, frowns even more. “No! I’m not going to go back in there! This is where I belong, this is the world I wanted to live. I’ll stay here.”

“The world you belong?” Soobin scoffs. “You pitiful creature,” he mocked. “Once you die in the real world, do you think you can still go back in here?” Soobin planted a question and stands up.

Yeonjun felt chills about what Soobin said and he looked down, feeling some warm tears around his eyes. “I-I… I don’t want to go back there… P-please, don’t make go back there,” he suddenly pleaded.

Soobin sighs and looked away while walking towards the railings. “There are two things a lucid dreamer should keep in mind before lucid dreaming; first, dreams will never be your reality and second, don’t forget the first one.”

Soobin turn around to look at Yeonjun. “Why are you staying here, Choi Yeonjun?”

Yeonjun meets Soobin’s stares. “Who wants to stay in a cruel reality when you can create a better world for your own?”
