You we’re running hand in hand with a stranger down a corridor, trying to find the exit of the haunted house, only to feel his grip loosen on your hand as you rounded yet another corner.
“Please don’t leave me!” You sobbed as you saw him turn around. His face made your jaw drop. “I won’t, just try to keep up.” You nodded and started running behind him again, until you felt a hand grab the back of your shirt, pulling you back towards him.
As you started screaming, you felt the world shift and suddenly you were wide awake, sat up straight in your bed. You felt around to make sure you were actually awake and not still in danger before you let out a deep sigh. “Shit...” These nightmares were seriously getting out of control.
As Seokmin went about his nightly routine he felt how tired he was, but he knew he wouldn’t be sleeping for quite a while, as his head was still racing from the events in the previous nights nightmare.
“Seok, it’s ok! If you have another nightmare, we’ll be here for you!” He shook his head. “It’s not that Soonyoung. There was a girl in my nightmare again..” Soonyoung nodded before responding. “The same girl from before?” Seokmin nodded.
“What if she’s important and I lose her in the nightmare?” Soonyoung shook his head. “You won’t lose her Seokie. Nightmares aren’t real. She’ll still be alive even if something happens to her in the dream. Hell, I have dreams where you die all the time! I remember once—”
Seokmin tuned Soonyoung out, and let his mind wander before he drifted off to sleep, unable to get the mystery girl off of his mind.
He jolted and suddenly he was side by side with her. Her. He looked at her and could see her face clearly. His eyes opened wider and he cleared his throat. This was the first time that he had been able to see her clearly, and he was head over heels. He knew he would do anything he could to make sure she got out safe this time.
“Grab my hand. If we start running now we’ll make it, I promise.” Seokmin held out his hand, and smiled when she grabbed it tightly. She smiled a little as she spoke. “I trust you. Now lead the way.”
They ran as fast as they could through the seemingly never ending hallway and finally they came to the same door from the night before. She grabbed the door knob, but still kept a tight grip on his hand. “Before we wake up, what’s your name?” He managed to breathe out, while trying to regain his composure.
As soon as she spoke, she turned the door knob and a bright light came through it, and suddenly his eyes were opening and he was awake. Seokmin wiped the sweat off of his forehead and rubbed his eyes. “Y/N.. I have to find her.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You woke up and smiled, but then remembered that you didn’t get his name. You huffed to yourself, and started getting your outfit ready for work. You were a photographer, and sometimes your hours went so long, you didn’t understand how you even got any sleep.
You had a new project today, and you didn’t have many details, but you were set to work with a music group. They were coming to your studio in an hour, and you hadn’t even gotten dressed yet.
You rushed through your morning routine, and made it to your studio in record time. You noticed the clock and realized you still had ten minutes before the group would arrive, so you sat back and called your friend, who was studying medicine.
“Hey girl. Can lack of sleep cause nightmares?” You heard your friend sigh. “Yes Y/N. It can. Stress, lack of sleep, bad eating habits. All of that.” You scrunched your face, and then thought about the stranger.
“Another question for you. What if you meet a random stranger more than once through your dreams?” You heard your friends chair move. “Like the same person, in multiple dreams?” “Yes.”
She paused for a few beats before responding. “Well, there is a theory that if you’re stressed enough, or lack enough sleep that you could see your soulmate in your dreams, but only if they’re equally as distressed as you are. Like I said though, it’s only a theory.”
You nodded your head, and said your goodbyes, preparing your studio with the remaining few minutes you had.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Seokmin followed behind the rest of the boys, he felt something oddly familiar about the small studio they were about to walk into.
“Vernon, have we been here before?” The younger boy looked over his shoulder at him before shaking his head. “I don’t think so. Ask coups hyung. He’s the one who made this appointment.”
He nodded and moved in front of vernon to tap Seungcheols shoulder. When he looked back he asked his question again. “No, she’s fairly new to the photography scene, and I love her aesthetic. Why?”
Seokmin shrugged his shoulders. “Dejavü I guess..” he fell back behind vernon with a yawn, and followed the rest of the boys inside of the building, admiring the photos that lined the walls. He was listening to the small conversations the other boys were having until a name caught his attention.
“Thank you again Y/N. I know it was kind of a last minute appointment.” He listened to your laugh, he saw your smile. It was really you. His jaw dropped and he stopped dead in his tracks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As you welcomed the large group of boys into your studio, you heard them laughing and talking. They were lively and full of energy, except you heard a yawn. “Man whoever’s yawning I feel that..”
One of the boys, who you presumed to be the leader, stepped forward to greet you. “My name is S.Coups, I’m the group leader. I really am sorry for the early timing. Thank you again Y/N. I know it was kind of a last minute appointment.” You laughed and waved your hand. “Nothing I can’t handle!”
You watched the boys move more inside the room and you saw one not walking forward. You turned to him and felt all of the blood sink out of your face. It’s the boy from your dreams. Well, your nightmares. He had bags under his eyes, and it looked like you cut him off mid yawn.
“H-hi.” He started. You opened your mouth to speak but found your mouth too dry. He smiled a little and continued. “Are you tired from all that running?” You smiled back and nodded. “My legs are sore as hell..”
You looked down and felt a rush of courage and looked up quickly smiling wider. “So do you not sleep a lot?” He shook his head. “Not at all.” You laughed. “Me either.”
One of the boys looked between you and smiled at your handsome stranger. “Is that her?” He nodded. “Yeah it is..” His ears turned pink rather quickly and laughed again. “I never caught your name.. from last night when I told you mine....”
He smiled brightly at you and replied. “Seokmin. Lee Seokmin.”
