~~~ EXO - She's dreming ~~~

It was scary. How happy she was, these past few weeks.  All was quiet and peaceful. Well except her sleep, but she never hoped to fix that in her life. But whenever she opened her eyes, she was reminded about the fact, she is not alone anymore. Of course she was never alone to begin with, but this time it was way different.

Whenever she opened her eyes, she found Jun by her side. Literally. He never left her to sleep alone, even if it meant sneaking in, through the backdoor, very late at night. Or having sleepovers more often than he ever did before. He always found an excuse to get inside her room and her bed to be precise. More so, he didn't do it because he expected something from her, which made her nervous regardless. She learnt about his sincerity. He wanted to help her sleep better and it did help in a way, not entirely, but it helped. She relaxed better, knowing he was there to hold her, if anything went wrong.

She felt kind of bad that she was using him as cuddly bunny at night, but on the other hand he never complained about that, so she didn't say anything.

One little piece of her knew that she needs to savour all these moments, because the time for something to make it all go away, was approaching fast. She never could be happy for too long. She learnt that long time ago.

She just got text from Jun, that he will be hanging out with Sehun today. Mainly because Sehun was suffering from broken heart and Jun had to help him get over it. It's been a week, since her brother professed his feeling to Bora. He didn't tell anyone about, what happened between the two, after Bora dragged him away. She guessed it was too hard to talk about it. She felt sorry for her brother. And also for Bora, who sometimes became absent minded, staring into a distance.

Like for example now. She, Bora and Baek, decided to spend Saturday evening playing in the park. Which meant, sitting around deserted playground and chat.

"You are doing it again, Bora," she nudged Bora, who was looking somewhere far, her mind not being present at all. To be clear, even Bora didn't say a single word about the event of last week and when Baekhyun was about to ask her, she simply diverted the conversation, refusing to think about it whatsoever.

"I'm sorry, I'm here, I'm listening," Bora was blinking rapidly, focusing her gaze at her and Baekhyun.

"Lately spending time with you two, is pain. Bora is not here at all and you keep grinning creepily. I get it, one has a secret boytoy and the other one has not so secret loverboy, but hey I am here too. Give me some attention," Baekhyun pouted in dissatisfaction.

"He is not my boytoy!"

"He is not a loverboy!"

Both girls exclaimed, Baekhyun gaining their attention successfully. He only rolled his eyes at them and made them realise, he is only teasing them. Ever since Baekhyun found out about her and Jun, he was enjoying it way too much. On top of what happened with Sehun and Bora. He was having the time of his life.

"Baekhyun...," she whined.

"What? Let me have at least some fun. You two were so boring all those years. None of you dating or having boy trouble, let me have some fun," he was like little child, complaining like one for sure.

"Well sorry, we didn't entertain you enough all those years, your majesty," Bora snorted. Jihye widened her eyes, as well as Baekhyun. There was not one moment in her memory, where Bora would be anything but sweet and forgiving to Baekhyun's whiny ass. After Bora realised, what she just said, her expression was mirroring their own right now.

Jihye and Baek bursted laughing and Bora joined them right after. This was new, but it was funny.

"Okay, I didn't mean it like this, I love you girls," Baekhyun tried to save the day. Whenever Baekhyun said loving stuff like this, Bora always got flustered, but as Jihye looked at her friend, she didn't look affected by the words whatsoever.

"Speaking of love. Sehun refused to talk as well so, you better talk. What did you tell him after that show?" Jihye stretched her legs in front of her, sitting on the grass and giving her friend inspecting look.

"I don't want to...," she started.

"Don't even start with the same old song. Spill the beans, Im Bora!" Baekhyun insisted. Bora gave him weird look, almost like she was waiting for him to tell her something more about this topic of her and Sehun. Jihye had a feeling she is not as disappointed by Bakehyun's coolness as she expected herself.

"We didn't really talk much. I asked what kind of prank he is playing now and replied that he was serious. I was in shock..., I didn't know how to react, when he was all so intense and didn't call me names. I ran away after that," she quickly rumbled out, hiding face in her hands.

"I'm sorry, but he really was deadly serious. He developed feelings for you, it's possible he had a change of heart, when you gave him the taste of yourself that night...," Jihye let out, seeing her friend widening her eyes, then she jumped on her, tackling her down on the ground, while Baekhyun giggled like a crazy person.

"Bora, I knew about your hot makeup session with Sehun, don't bother. He made sure to tell me all the details about it, the other day," Baekhyun kept on laughing, when Bora's face turned red, murmuring something about killing again.

"Go and talk to him, then kill him if you can't handle it," Baek winked at her, then he turned on Jihye.

"Why are you staring at me so creepily?" she let out, not liking the meaning behind this look of his.

"We talked about Bora's issue, now is your turn, baby," he smiled, and Bora imitated him, now that the attention was turned away from her.

"I don't have an issue," she shrugged her shoulders, pretending she doesn't know what he is talking about.

"Junnie, of course," he lifted his eyebrows.

"There is nothing to talk about," she refused to even get to the point.

"I think there is, because probably desperation drove him to me, he was asking me all sort of questions, that I was very uncomfortable to answer, because I know how you get, when we touch that topic even for a bit," Baekhyun turned serious all of a sudden. Jihye frowned, confused.

"What do you mean?" weird feeling took over her guts.

"He wanted to know, what sort of illness you have exactly. He said, you refuse to talk about it, but he is worried about you," Baekhyun clarified, looking her in the eye, almost like he was trying to send her metal message, so she doesn't start freaking out. So, Junmyeon didn't let it go, he just decided to not ask her, but other people who know about her little problem.

"Oh god...," she grumbled.

"Ji, you need to understand he will want to know, what is the cause of your problem. He cares for you...," Bora tried to tell her, but her mind was already creating all sort of scenarios. Jun will soon come to the conclusion that Jihye is nutcase and won't want to deal with her anymore. And she won't blame him. How could she, she was done with herself as well. Why couldn't he let it go? She was barely having any episodes during the night, when he was with her.

Maybe he was starting to get fed up too... soon he will tell her she needs to seek medical help and sends her off...

She didn't even realise, she was on her feet.

"Jihye, where are you going?" Bora and Baekhyun were calling after her, when she just turned on her heel and rushed out of the park. The emptiness was slowly spreading inside of her body, from the core, into all corners of her existence. She was subconsciously heading home, but she could barely see, where she is going at this point.

However, everything was sweet and calm up until now, it was all too fragile. One mention of Junmyeon wanting to dig up her secrets and she was about to lose her mind. She was anxiously trying to figure out way to stop him from doing so. But she knew how stupid she was, thinking she will be able to.

She got home, and no one was there, which gave her time to think frantically. Jun will probably spend another night here, unless he will decide otherwise. She should have strayed and ask Baekhyun about what he said to Jun about her condition. How much he knows?

She spent and hour in her room, with opened doors, waiting for Sehun and Jun to come back. She finally heard the front door click and she walked out her room.

"... she is out with Baek and Bora. She will be back soon, I recon," Sehun was replying Jun as they walked to the kitchen. She stood on the stairs. They think she is not home yet. She wanted to go down and let them know, she is here, but something was telling her not to. She climbed few more steps down, that way she could hear what are the two talking about in the kitchen.

"Alright. I need to speak to you about Jihye, Sehun," Jun let out, his voice sounding grim and tired. Sehun stayed quiet and she could imagine the wrinkle between his brows growing deeper.

"What is it? Did something happen to her?" Sehun sounded worried.

"No... I mean, she is alright now. I want to talk to you about her condition...," Jun was hesitant. Her heart ached inside her chest. It was hard for him, as well as it was hard for her to listen to him. No wonder she would not be able to bear that coffee look on her, if he chose to talk to her about this again.

"What do you mean?" it was obvious Sehun knew what Jun means. "How do you know about it?" so he decided to not beat the bush around and get to the point.

"I saw her few times, having hard time and struggle," Jun mumbled, not saying anything concrete. Sehun again took some time to reply to Jun's statement.

"I guess I never thought, you would know or found out about it, because you two are not very close," Sehun mumbled right after, confusion audible in his voice.

"You don't have to be close to that person to notice how tired she looks. I care for her, because she is sister of my best friend," Jun quickly explained. Jihye felt weirdly pleased about the fact, he kept at least this promise between them.

"Makes sense... I think," Sehun obviously didn't bother to think twice about it, as long as he was given decent answer.

"Why is she like that? Why does she have those nightmares?" Jun was determined to get what he wants. Jihye pressed her back to the wall, staying on stairs. Her heart was beating too fast, she could barely breath.

"It's not nightmares, it's night terrors. How do you know about them exactly?" Jihye never banned her brother from talking about her problem. Probably because, everyone closest to her, knew about it and there was no reason for it. She should have made him promise her, not to say whatever he wants. But it was too late to cry over spilled milk.

"As I said, I witnessed her night terror and other stuff..., when we were at the beach house," Jun's voice deepened, her heart squeezed in pain, over that sound. Even though she didn't see his face, she could see it in front of her eyes. His eyes melting into hers, begging her to tell him everything. It was crushing her.

"I see, I thought she is getting better, because lately she didn't look as tired," Sehun was sad for her. He used to comfort her a lot, when she was kid and it was almost normal for her to have them as a child, but as she grew more, it stopped being fun, it became her problem, her biggest weakness.

"I think she is getting worse," Jun said. Jihye's frown deepened. What does he mean by that? He knew, out of all the people out there, she is not struggling that much, mainly thanks to him and his calming presence. She didn't understand.

"What makes you think that way? It's hard with her, she never wants to talk about it," Sehun was getting more and more concerned, judging from the way his voice trembled.

"I was thinking for a long time, before I gathered the courage to tell you, but then I realised it's for her own good. I can't stay quiet anymore," Jihye was dying of nervousness at this point. What could have pushed Junmyeon all the way here, where he is about to spill the beans in front of Sehun. She wanted to walk from behind the corner and reveal herself, to stop Jun from talking further.

"The other night, when I had a sleepover... I saved her from drowning, after she sleepwalked all the way to the pool... I don't even want to think, what would happen, if I didn't see her falling in the water just on the time," before she could make a move, Jun spoke up, nailing her to the ground. She covered her mouth with palm, stopping terrified whimper from coming out.

"Are... you, are you serious...,"Sehun whispered.

Her body froze, the chill falling down her spine. What is going on? She was shaking like crazy. The memories were coming back to her. She didn't recall the event, Jun just talked about. She remembered those little details. Waking up almost naked, covered in towels, the smell of chloride, Jun in his wet clothes and his high temperature...

Hot tears were rolling down her cheeks and she couldn't stop herself. She closed her eyes, when she realised what it meant for her. She was crossing the line, she hoped she will never cross. The reality of her miserable life was ruining her at last. Why is this happening to her?

She remembered when it probably happened the first time. At the beach house, she went to sleep in a bed, but she woke up with night terror on the sofa in the living room, with Jun comforting her. She couldn't remember when she relocated during the night...

It was because, she was loosing it...

"This is worse than I thought... I need to tell the parents. Jun, don't tell Ji anything. She has it hard, she doesn't need to know this...," Sehun begged Junmyeon, when he fully comprehended what it means for her.

"I won't, but Sehun you need to tell me, what is the cause of it. Why does she suffer so much?" the pain in Jun's soft voice was killing her. She could barely hold her sobs on leash, not being able to see over teary eyes.

"There is no cause for it, nothing triggers her, it's genetical...," Sehun let out, almost absentminded.

"Wait a second, genetical? No one else has this in your family. Or yes?" Jun was probably excited to find out, what is all behind her problem. Her mind was hazed to pay attention to Sehun's talking. What is he babbling about?

He stayed quiet for a long time, before saying something that made her whole world crumble down.

"Yes, no one else in our family has it...," he confirmed.
