Y/N awoke to a world where reality and dreams merged seamlessly, a place where the boundaries of time and space seemed irrelevant. Under the vast canvas of the night sky, speckled with stars like diamond dust, she found herself lying on a grassy hill. The air was cool, a gentle breeze caressing her face, carrying the playful dance of fireflies, their light flickering like tiny lanterns in the darkness. She sat up, her eyes adjusting to the ethereal beauty of this dream world.
As she wandered, lost in the tranquility of her surroundings, her path crossed with someone unexpected. Their eyes met, a moment of confusion hanging between them before he offered her a small, genuine smile. He had an air of familiarity, yet she couldn't place him.
"Hi, I'm Sunoo," he introduced himself with a warmth that felt comforting.
"I'm Y/N," she replied, her voice a whisper in the serene night.
They embarked on a journey through the dream, strolling through the sprawling valley under the watchful eyes of the stars. Y/N had never seen so many stars before; they were like a tapestry of light, each one telling its own ancient story.
As they walked, their conversation flowed effortlessly. Sunoo shared anecdotes that made her laugh, his voice a melody that seemed to harmonize with the night. Y/N found herself opening up, telling him stories she had never told anyone, her words weaving into the tapestry of their shared experience.
The more they talked, the more Y/N felt a strange sense of déjà vu, as if their souls had known each other for lifetimes. Sunoo's presence was comforting, his laughter infectious, and his insights profound. The night seemed endless, a realm where time held no sway, allowing them to explore the depths of their newfound connection.
But as the dream continued, a subtle change began to take place. Y/N noticed Sunoo's form starting to fade, his image becoming translucent like the morning mist. He noticed it too and looked at her with a hint of sadness.
"We're waking up, aren't we?" Y/N asked, her voice tinged with a mix of wonder and regret.
"It seems so," Sunoo replied, his smile bittersweet. "But this was real, wasn't it? Even if it was just a dream."
Y/N nodded, feeling a pang of sorrow at the thought of leaving this dream world and the connection they had forged. "Will we meet again, Sunoo? In another dream?"
"I hope so," he said, his voice fading like an echo. "In dreams, anything is possible."
The morning sun streamed through Y/N's window, painting her room in hues of gold and amber. She lay in bed for a moment longer, savoring the vivid memory of her dream. The encounter with Sunoo had been so real, so vivid, it lingered in her mind like a sweet melody. She felt a sense of exhilaration, a lightness in her heart that was rare in the rush of her everyday life.
Getting out of bed, Y/N followed her morning routine almost mechanically, her thoughts still anchored in the dream world. As she prepared for work, she couldn't help but wonder about Sunoo. Was he real? Would she ever encounter him again in her dreams? The questions tugged at her heart, filling her with a mix of hope and uncertainty.
Meanwhile, in another part of the world, in Seoul, South Korea, Sunoo woke up feeling unusually refreshed. The dream had left a profound impact on him, a sense of connection he couldn't shake off. As he got ready, his mind replayed the moments spent with Y/N under the starlit sky.
Entering the living room, Sunoo was greeted by the familiar faces of his ENHYPEN bandmates. They immediately noticed something different about him.
"You look different today, Sunoo. More... alive," Sunghoon remarked, handing him breakfast.
Sunoo chuckled, "I had the most incredible dream."
The others, intrigued, gathered around, eager to hear more. Sunoo described the valley, the blanket of stars above them, and most importantly, Y/N. He spoke of the conversations they had, the laughter they shared, and the surreal feeling of connection.
His bandmates listened intently, each reacting in their own way. Some were skeptical, others amused, but all were captivated by the vividness of his recounting.
"Sounds like you've made a dreamy connection," Jake teased, nudging Sunoo playfully.
Sunoo smiled, a distant look in his eyes. "It felt real, more real than any dream I've ever had."
Back in her world, Y/N arrived at work but found it hard to concentrate. Her mind kept drifting back to the dream. During her lunch break, she sat in the park, her gaze lost in the sky, pondering the possibility of a world where Sunoo existed.
As the day wore on, Sunoo and Y/N found themselves immersed in their respective realities, yet a part of them remained in that dream state, yearning for another encounter.
That night, as Y/N lay in bed, she closed her eyes, wishing with all her heart to return to the valley, to see Sunoo again. She drifted into sleep, her mind filled with stars and whispers of hope.
Similarly, Sunoo went to bed with a sense of anticipation. The possibility of meeting Y/N again in his dreams filled him with an unexplained joy.
In the depths of the night, in that mystical space between reality and dreams, their paths crossed again. This time, they found themselves on a moonlit beach, the sound of waves gently breaking on the shore.
"Sunoo!" Y/N exclaimed, running towards him.
He turned, a smile spreading across his face. "Y/N! You're here!"
They spent the night walking along the beach, talking about their lives in the waking world, sharing fears, hopes, and laughter. The connection deepened, their conversation flowing as naturally as the waves lapping at their feet.
As dawn approached, they both felt the inevitable pull of the waking world.
"I don't want this to end," Y/N whispered, her voice tinged with sadness.
"Neither do I," Sunoo replied, holding her hand. "But maybe, just maybe, we're more than just a dream."
They stood there, hand in hand, as the dream began to fade. Y/N's eyes fluttered open to the morning light, a sense of loss washing over her. Yet, within her heart, the connection with Sunoo remained, a beacon of hope in the sea of her everyday life.
Sunoo, too, woke up feeling a mix of happiness and longing. The dreams were becoming a refuge, a place where he could meet Y/N, away from the glare of the real world.
Days turned into weeks, and each night they met in their dreams, exploring fantastical landscapes, growing closer with each encounter. The dream world they shared became a refuge, a secret place untouched by the constraints of reality.
At work, Y/N found herself more distracted than usual. The vivid dreams with Sunoo lingered in her mind throughout the day. Her best friend, Emily, and her colleagues noticed the distant yet dreamy look in her eyes.
"Y/N, you've been miles away lately," Emily observed one day, concern lacing her voice. "What's on your mind?"
With a hesitant smile, Y/N shared the recurring dreams about Sunoo. Her colleagues listened with a mix of amusement and intrigue.
"It sounds like a fate or soulmate thing," one colleague teased, nudging her playfully.
"Imagine meeting someone in a dream and not wanting to wake up," another added, laughing.
When Emily asked about the man in her dreams, Y/N mentioned Sunoo's name. Emily's expression shifted momentarily, as if recognizing the name, but she said nothing further. This reaction left Y/N puzzled, stirring a mix of curiosity and doubt. Was Sunoo more than just a dream figure?
Meanwhile, Sunoo was filming an episode of EN-O'Clock with his group ENHYPEN, featuring Tomorrow x Together. His thoughts, however, were elsewhere, consumed by the enigmatic Y/N. He wondered if she was a real person or just a figment of his imagination.
During a break, Hueningkai and other TXT members noticed Sunoo's distant demeanor.
"Hey, Sunoo, you okay?" Hueningkai asked, a look of concern on his face.
Sunoo sighed, "I keep thinking about someone I met in my dreams. It feels too real to be just a dream, but I'm not sure."
The members exchanged glances, intrigued by his confession.
"Maybe she's out there, thinking about you too," Taehyun suggested, trying to offer some comfort.
Back in the real world, Y/N's heart fluttered every time she thought of Sunoo. She couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to these dreams, a connection that transcended the boundaries of dream and reality.
One evening, as Y/N lay in bed, she whispered into the darkness, "Sunoo, are you real?"
Miles away, Sunoo, lying in his own bed, whispered back to the void, "Y/N, I wish I knew if you were more than just a dream."
That night, they met again in their shared dream world. This time, they found themselves in a lush, enchanted forest, the moon casting a silver glow through the trees.
"Sunoo, do you ever wonder if we're more than just a dream to each other?" Y/N asked, her voice laced with emotion.
"I think about it all the time," Sunoo admitted, his eyes reflecting the moonlight. "In here, everything feels so real, so vivid. You feel real."
In their next dream, Y/N and Sunoo found themselves wandering through a picturesque street lined with quaint shops and cafes. They stumbled upon a charming flower cafe, its windows adorned with vibrant blooms. The people around them moved like shadows, faceless and indistinct, reinforcing the surreal nature of the dream.
As they entered the cafe, the aroma of fresh flowers and coffee enveloped them. They ordered their drinks and found a cozy corner table, away from the shadowy figures.
"Isn't it strange," Y/N began, stirring her coffee, "how we can create such beautiful places in our dreams?"
Sunoo nodded, his eyes meeting hers. "It's like our minds are painting a world where we can escape."
Their conversation flowed naturally as they delved into likes and dislikes, their favorite hobbies, and little quirks. Each revelation brought smiles and laughter, yet neither dared to broach the subject of their existence in the real world.
"Music is my escape," Sunoo shared, his eyes lighting up. "What about you, Y/N?"
"I love reading," she replied. "Books take me to different worlds, much like these dreams."
Their eyes locked with each encounter, a silent acknowledgment of the connection they felt.
In another dream, they found themselves in a tranquil forest. This dream was peaceful, a serene escape from the chaos of reality. They walked together, sometimes chatting, sometimes just enjoying the silence. They watched bees and butterflies flit among the flowers, the simplicity of the scene bringing them closer.
Y/N felt her heart flutter just being near Sunoo, and he experienced the same sensation. The emotions they felt in the dream began to seep into their waking lives, bringing them a sense of happiness and contentment they hadn't known before.
Back in the real world, Sunoo felt inspired to draw Y/N. He wanted to capture the essence of the girl who appeared in his dreams. With time and patience, he sketched her features, focusing on the details that made her unique.
On a lazy day in the dorm, he decided to share the drawing with his ENHYPEN bandmates.
"Who's this?" Riki asked, looking at the sketch.
"This is Y/N," Sunoo replied, a soft smile on his lips. "The girl I've been dreaming about."
The members gathered around, admiring the drawing. "She's really pretty," Sunghoon commented.
"You guys seem to have a special connection, even if it's just in your dreams," Jungwon added.
Sunoo nodded, his eyes reflecting a mix of joy and wistfulness. "Yeah, it feels like we've known each other forever."
Y/N's day had been overwhelming. At work, the pressure seemed unending, and then came the heart-wrenching news: her beloved grandmother had passed away. This loss felt like a void, swallowing her whole. Her grandmother had been her guiding star, her inspiration since childhood, and now she was gone.
That night, Y/N lay in bed, tears streaming down her face. She wanted to avoid sleep, to avoid showing Sunoo her pain, but exhaustion and grief overtook her, and she cried herself to sleep.
In her dream, she found herself in a dark, cold, and frightening place. Shadows loomed around her, the anxieties of her day transforming into haunting figures. She felt alone, scared, and desperately wished for Sunoo's comforting presence.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of warm arms wrap around her. Turning around, she saw Sunoo, his expression filled with concern.
"Sunoo..." she whispered, her voice breaking as she buried her face into his chest.
"I'm here, Y/N," Sunoo whispered back, his voice soft and reassuring. "You're not alone. I've got you."
Slowly, as they stood embraced, the dark shadows began to dissipate, replaced by the familiar hill under a starlit sky, reminiscent of their first encounter.
Y/N sobbed, her tears soaking Sunoo's shirt. He held her tighter, offering silent support.
After her tears subsided, Sunoo gently asked, "Y/N, what happened? You can tell me."
She looked up at him, her eyes red and swollen. "It was just... everything piled up today. Work was so stressful, and then... then I found out my grandmother passed away. She meant the world to me, Sunoo."
Sunoo's heart ached hearing her pain, a pain that felt too real for someone he thought existed only in dreams.
"Y/N, I wish I could do something to ease your pain," he said earnestly. "In here, we've shared so much. It almost feels like... like we're real to each other."
Y/N nodded, a weak smile on her lips. "You've become so important to me, Sunoo. In this world, at least."
There was a pause, a heavy silence filled with unspoken questions.
"Y/N, I need to ask you something," Sunoo said, his voice hesitant. "Are you... Are you real? Like, in the real world?"
Y/N's heart skipped a beat. She had wondered the same about him. "I am real, Sunoo. And you? Are you just a dream to me?"
The question hung in the air, a bridge between their dream world and reality, waiting to be crossed.
As Y/N and Sunoo sat under the vast, twinkling stars of their dream world, they found comfort in sharing the realities of their waking lives. Y/N spoke of her day-to-day experiences, her close relationship with her best friend, the challenges and rewards of her job, and her budding ambition to write a book.
"What are you planning to write about?" Sunoo asked, his eyes reflecting a sincere curiosity.
"It's still a work in progress. I've got a bunch of ideas, but nothing concrete yet," Y/N replied, a contemplative expression on her face.
"You know," Sunoo suggested thoughtfully, "you could write about something like our story - a girl and a boy meeting in a dream world."
Y/N's eyes brightened at the suggestion. "That's actually an intriguing idea," she said, her mind already spinning with potential plots and characters.
Their conversation then shifted to Sunoo's life. Initially hesitant, he opened up about being a member of the K-pop group ENHYPEN. Y/N, familiar with K-pop only through her friend, was fascinated.
"I've never really followed K-pop closely, but this is so interesting. Could you sing something for me?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
To their amusement, a guitar and a microphone appeared as if conjured by the dream itself, eliciting laughter from both. Sunoo picked up the guitar and sang one of his favorite songs, his voice echoing beautifully in the dream-scape. Y/N listened, completely captivated by the melody and his voice.
"That was amazing," she said, genuinely impressed. "I'll definitely look up ENHYPEN when I wake up."
As dawn approached, their dream avatars began to fade. "I wish we had more time," Y/N whispered, feeling a pang of sadness.
"I know," Sunoo replied softly. "But we'll meet again, here."
Waking up, Sunoo was brimming with excitement and rushed to tell his bandmates about Y/N. "She's real, guys! Y/N is a real person!" he exclaimed, his face flushed with exhilaration.
Heeseung, intrigued, chimed in, "This could be like a red string of fate kind of thing. A soulmate connection."
Sunoo's heart pounded at the thought. If Y/N was indeed real, he was determined to meet her in the real world, not just in dreams.
Meanwhile, Y/N woke up with a sense of urgency. She immediately researched ENHYPEN, and to her astonishment, there he was – Sunoo, exactly as he appeared in her dreams. She listened to their songs and was instantly drawn to their music.
"He's real," she thought, a mix of disbelief and excitement washing over her.
In the following days, their dreams grew more vivid, their connection deepening. Y/N couldn't stop discussing it with Emily. When she finally revealed Sunoo's identity, Emily, a K-pop fan, recognized the name.
"This has to be more than coincidence," Emily exclaimed. "It sounds like fate. You should go to Korea. Find him!"
Y/N pondered the idea but hesitated, fearing the uncertainties. What if Sunoo didn't remember the dreams? What if he wasn't the one sharing these dreamscapes with her?
"But you didn't even know about ENHYPEN before this," Emily argued. "How could you dream up someone you've never seen? There's something more to this. It's fate, Y/N."
On the other side of the world, Sunoo was en route to an event with ENHYPEN, his mind occupied with thoughts of Y/N. He was eager for nightfall, to return to the dream world and perhaps discuss meeting in reality.
However, his thoughts were abruptly shattered by a catastrophic crash. The vehicle he was in collided with another, and everything around him faded into darkness. A high-pitched ringing filled his ears, and then silence.
When Sunoo regained consciousness, he found himself in the dream world once again, on the familiar hill, but under a bright daytime sky. Confusion and fear gripped him as he pieced together what had happened. He realized he was in a coma, trapped in the dream world, alone without Y/N.
Panic set in as he considered the implications. He was stuck in a liminal space, disconnected from both his waking life and Y/N. The thought of being alone in this dream world, uncertain of his fate and longing for Y/N's presence, was overwhelming.
Sunoo sat there, under the glaring sun, grappling with his new reality. Y/N's day at work was as busy as ever, but amidst the rush of tasks and deadlines, a sudden, inexplicable chill ran down her spine. She paused, glancing around the warm room, feeling an unsettling sense of disquiet. Something felt off, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.
Trying to shake off the feeling, she continued with her work, but a heavy weight seemed to settle on her shoulders, an unexplained burden that persisted throughout the day.
Exhausted, Y/N finally made her way home. She hoped a hot shower might dispel the unease that clung to her, but the warm water did little to soothe her troubled mind.
Deciding to turn in early, Y/N headed to bed, hoping sleep would offer some respite. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she drifted off into a deep slumber.
In her dream, she found herself once again on the familiar hill, surrounded by the sparkling stars and the gentle glow of fireflies. The dream's beauty was a stark contrast to her day's unease.
She then heard her name being called. Turning around, she saw Sunoo, his presence instantly lighting up her world. Her heart skipped a beat, as it always did at the sight of him.
Sunoo smiled at her, but his eyes betrayed a different story. They held a depth of emotion she hadn't seen before. Y/N rushed to him, and they embraced tightly, the hug lingering longer than usual. Sunoo's embrace was firmer, more desperate.
Sensing something amiss, Y/N whispered, "Is everything alright, Sunoo?"
He was cautious with his response. "I'm fine, just a stressful day with work. You know, the usual idol life. But I'm glad I'm here with you now," he replied, masking his true turmoil.
Despite his words, Y/N couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. However, she decided not to press further, comforted by his presence.
As the dream continued, they walked hand in hand, fingers intertwined. Then, Sunoo broached a subject they'd both been dancing around. He spoke of meeting in the real world, expressing how much she meant to him in this dream space. He confessed his feelings, his voice laced with hope and longing.
Y/N's heart leapt at his confession. She felt the same, longing to bridge the gap between their dream and reality. Sunoo stopped and turned to face her, cupping her cheek gently in his hand.
"Sunoo," she whispered softly, her emotions swirling.
He leaned in, and their lips met in a tender, longing kiss. Y/N wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. The kiss deepened, a warm breeze enveloping them, making the moment feel astonishingly real.
Their lips were a perfect match, and his touch was warm and reassuring. When they finally pulled apart, they rested their foreheads together, their eyes locked in a silent conversation of longing and love.
But as the dream began to fade, Y/N noticed she was the one disappearing while Sunoo remained. Confusion clouded her face as she saw the pain and regret in his eyes, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Why are you not fading? What's happening, Sunoo?" she asked, panic rising in her voice.
"I'm so sorry, Y/N," Sunoo murmured, his voice breaking as he struggled to maintain his composure. "I'm so sorry."
Before she could ask more, Y/N faded completely, leaving Sunoo alone in the dream world. He sat there, tears streaming down his face, realizing the gravity of his situation. He was stuck in a coma, in a dream world without Y/N, waiting endlessly for her return.
In the real world, Y/N woke up feeling a deep sense of loss, the remnants of the dream lingering in her mind. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong with Sunoo. The dream had felt too intense, too emotional. She tried to convince herself it was just a dream, but her heart refused to believe it.
Y/N spent the day distracted, the image of Sunoo's tear-streaked face haunting her. She knew she needed to find out more about him, to discover if her fears were founded in reality.
Meanwhile, Sunoo remained in his coma, trapped in the dream world, a prisoner of his own mind. The loneliness was overwhelming, each moment stretching into eternity. He longed for Y/N, for the sound of her voice, the touch of her hand. The realization that he might never wake up, never see her in the real world, filled him with an indescribable sadness.
The monotonous beeping of the hospital machines filled the room where Sunoo lay motionless, his bandmates Riki, Jungwon, and Sunghoon keeping a solemn vigil by his side. They had been fortunate, traveling in a different car and escaping the collision unharmed, but their thoughts were consumed by Sunoo’s condition.
In another room, Heeseung lay with a broken arm, surrounded by Jay and Jake, who bore the marks of the accident in the form of bruises and cuts. Heeseung’s voice was filled with concern. “How’s Sunoo? Any change?”
Jake shook his head somberly. “He’s still in a coma. It’s been two weeks already.”
Back in Sunoo’s room, Jungwon voiced his worries. “Do you think he’ll ever wake up? It’s been so long.”
Sunghoon, deep in thought, pondered aloud, “I wonder if he’s still seeing Y/N in his coma. Maybe he’s happy there, with her.”
Riki quickly interjected, “Don’t talk like that. He’s going to wake up. We have to believe that.”
Their conversation shifted to Y/N, the girl who had become an integral part of Sunoo’s dreams. “If she’s real, like Sunoo said, we should try to find her,” Jungwon suggested.
“But she could be anywhere in the world,” Riki pointed out, skepticism in his voice.
Not wasting a moment, Sunghoon was already searching on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram, using the drawing Sunoo made of her as a reference. After a few minutes, he found a match on Instagram.
“That’s her. The name matches, and though it’s not perfect, the drawing kind of looks like her,” he said, showing them the profile. The quote in her bio read, “When dreams and reality collide,” and “Do you believe in fate?” Her profile song was “Dreamstate” by Dayseeker.
He clicked on one of her videos, where she spoke in an English accent about a dream where she met a guy, and how real it felt. Another video discussed meeting the same guy again, finding out they were real and sharing dreams, and asking if anyone believed in fate.
Later, Jake entered Sunoo’s room, phone in hand. “I found Y/N,” he announced. The group decided to leave the hospital to discuss how they could contact her.
Meanwhile, Y/N was haunted by an unsettling feeling that something was terribly wrong. The recent dreams with Sunoo were tinged with sadness, and he always remained when she faded away. Driven by a sudden impulse, she searched for ENHYPEN online. Her heart skipped a beat as articles about the car crash loaded on her screen. Seeing Sunoo’s face and reading about his two-week coma sent a shock through her system.
It all made sense now – why Sunoo hadn’t told her, why he seemed so pained in their dreams. He was scared that he might never wake up and never meet her outside the dream world.
Tears streamed down Y/N’s face as the realization sank in. Without a second thought, she booked a next-day flight to Korea and arranged a hotel stay. She had to see him, had to be there, even if it was just to sit by his side. The thought of Sunoo, alone and trapped in a coma, was unbearable.
As Y/N meticulously packed her bags, her mind was a whirlwind of emotions. Anxiety and fear intertwined with a hopeful anticipation. The thought of Sunoo, alone and unconscious in a hospital bed, propelled her forward. She clung to the belief that somehow, her presence would bridge the chasm between their shared dreams and the stark reality.
Meanwhile, in Korea, the ENHYPEN members gathered, weighed down by the gravity of the situation. They discussed how best to connect with Y/N, the enigmatic girl who had captured Sunoo's heart in a world of dreams.
"It's like something out of a fairy tale," Riki mused, a hint of wonder in his voice.
"But it's real for Sunoo," Heeseung added, his voice tinged with concern. "We have to do something. We owe it to him to at least try."
The group agreed, determined to find a way to bring Y/N and Sunoo together in the real world.
As her plane touched down in Korea, Y/N was overcome with a mix of emotions. She hurried to her hotel, her mind racing with thoughts of Sunoo. Uncertain of how to proceed, she decided to explore Seoul and locate the hospital where Sunoo was admitted.
Finding herself in a quaint cafe in the heart of Seoul, Y/N waited in line for a coffee, trying to gather her thoughts. As she stood there, lost in thought, Jay, who was just ahead of her in line, turned around.
Their eyes met, and Y/N offered a polite smile and a timid "hello" in her limited Korean.
Jay did a double-take, his eyes widening in recognition. He turned to her, a mix of curiosity and excitement in his eyes. They engaged in small talk, and when Y/N mentioned her name, Jay's demeanor changed.
"Wait, you're Y/N? The Y/N from Sunoo's dreams?" he asked, his voice rising in excitement.
His enthusiasm drew the attention of other customers, causing Y/N's face to flush with embarrassment. She nodded, confirming his suspicion.
"Yes, I'm Y/N. And you must be Jay, Sunoo's bandmate," she replied, trying to keep her voice steady despite the surreal nature of the encounter.
Jay's excitement was palpable. "I can't believe this! You're actually real. Sunoo talks about you all the time and about his dreams. We've been trying to find you!"
Y/N's heart raced at the confirmation that her connection with Sunoo extended beyond their shared dream world. "I came as soon as I found out about the accident. How is he? Can I see him?" she asked, her voice laced with worry.
Jay's expression sobered. "He's still in a coma. It's been tough on all of us, especially knowing how much he cares about you. Let me call the others, and we'll figure out how to get you to see him."
As Jay made the call, Y/N's mind was a flurry of thoughts and emotions. The reality of Sunoo's condition hit her hard, yet the fact that she was now connected to his world, his friends, gave her a glimmer of hope.
Jay hung up and turned to Y/N. "The guys are as shocked as I am. We're going to help you see Sunoo. He needs you now, more than ever."
As Jay and Y/N stepped out of the cafe, clutching their coffees, a wave of emotions washed over them. They met with the rest of ENHYPEN, who were equally shocked, emotional, and eager to meet Y/N, the girl from Sunoo's dreams.
Together, they made their way to the hospital, convincing the doctor to let Y/N see Sunoo by explaining she was a close friend. The weight of the moment grew heavier with each step towards Sunoo's room.
Y/N's heart pounded with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. She chose Jay and Jake to accompany her into the room, while the others waited outside, their expressions a mix of hope and concern.
As they entered, Y/N's gaze immediately fell upon Sunoo, lying there in a coma, looking peaceful yet unnervingly still. The rhythmic beeping of the machines filled the room, a stark reminder of the gravity of the situation.
She took a seat beside him, gently taking his hand in hers. Her voice was soft but filled with emotion as she spoke to him. "Sunoo, it's Y/N. I'm here. I found you."
In the dream world, Sunoo sat on a deserted beach, feeling isolated and desperate. He had tried everything to wake up, even attempting to sleep within the dream, hoping it would somehow trigger his return to the waking world. He longed to see Y/N, to relive the memory of their kiss in reality.
As he wallowed in his sorrow, a faint voice began to break through the solitude. It was soft and distant, yet unmistakably Y/N's. Confused, he stood and followed the sound, her voice growing louder but still without a physical presence.
Then he heard her say she was with him, next to him in the hospital. Sunoo felt an inexplicable warmth in one hand, as if it was being held. Tears flowed freely down his cheeks. Y/N was there, with him, yet he was trapped in this dreamlike prison.
Back in the hospital, Y/N continued speaking to Sunoo, recounting their dream encounters and the kiss that had sealed their connection. Jay and Jake exchanged looks of astonishment; the details Y/N described matched Sunoo's dream narratives perfectly. The kiss, however, was new to them, as it had occurred during his coma.
As Y/N kissed Sunoo's hand, a single tear escaped from Sunoo's closed eyes, rolling down his cheek. His hand, in her gentle grasp, squeezed hers ever so slightly. It was a small, yet profound response, indicating that something was reaching him, breaking through the barriers of his comatose state.
Jake, witnessing this subtle yet significant reaction, hurried out of the room to find the doctor. The hope that had started as a flicker was now burning brighter.
Jay and Y/N remained by Sunoo's side, Y/N holding his hand, talking to him, urging him to find his way back to them. Each word was a lifeline, an anchor trying to pull Sunoo back from the depths of his unconsciousness.
"Sunoo, please come back to us. We're all here waiting for you," Y/N whispered, her voice breaking with emotion. "I'm here, Sunoo. Please, wake up."
In the bustling hospital corridor, Jake hurriedly explained to the doctor about Sunoo's reactions to Y/N's presence. "It’s Sunoo. He squeezed her hand and there were tears," he said, urgency lacing his voice.
The doctor, intrigued and cautiously optimistic, followed Jake back to Sunoo's room. The other members of ENHYPEN clustered around, a mix of hope and anxiety in their eyes.
Upon entering the room, the doctor observed the scene – Y/N holding Sunoo's hand, speaking to him with a gentle, unwavering voice. "Continue talking to him," the doctor encouraged Y/N. "It seems to be reaching him."
Encouraged by the doctor's words, Y/N spoke about Sunoo's music, expressing her longing to see him and his group perform live one day. She then shifted to talking about her book, how it was shaping up, inspired by their shared dreams.
"I can't wait for you to read it, Sunoo. It's our story, from a different perspective. And if you wake up soon, it'll have the happiest ending," she said, her voice filled with hope.
Finally, Y/N gathered her courage to express the words she had longed to say, words that Sunoo had only hoped to hear. "Sunoo, please. I love you," she whispered, clear and heartfelt.
In the dream world, Sunoo heard her confession. Tears fell from his eyes as he began to fade from the dream, his voice echoing in the space, "I love you too, Y/N. I'll tell you again when I wake up."
Back in the hospital room, a sudden change occurred. Sunoo's body jolted slightly, his grip on Y/N's hand strengthening as his eyes fluttered open. Jay and Jake gasped in disbelief, their eyes wide with shock and joy.
Jake spoke first, "Sunoo, are you okay?" But Sunoo's voice was hoarse, barely a whisper, betraying his long silence.
Sunoo's gaze then shifted to Y/N. His eyes, clouded with confusion, slowly roved over her face as if trying to place her in his awakened reality.
Y/N's heart plummeted with fear. Did he not remember her? Did their shared dreams mean nothing now?
But then, Sunoo blinked, and his expression transformed. The confusion gave way to recognition, then to a bright, knowing smile.
"Y/N..." he murmured, his voice weak but filled with warmth.
The doctor, witnessing the scene, was visibly impressed. "This is remarkable," he said, turning to the others in the room. "His response to her presence, it's extraordinary."
Y/N's eyes brimmed with tears, a mixture of relief and joy washing over her. "Sunoo, you're awake," she said, her voice trembling with emotion.
Sunoo tried to speak again, his voice barely above a whisper. "Y/N... I heard you... in my dreams."
The room was filled with a profound sense of wonder and elation. The other members, standing just outside the door, peered in, their faces lit up with smiles and tears. They had witnessed something miraculous - a bond so strong it transcended the barriers of unconsciousness, a love that had woven itself through the fabric of dreams into reality.
As the doctor began to check on Sunoo, ensuring his vital signs were stable, the atmosphere in the room was one of quiet celebration.
As the days passed, Y/N's visits to the hospital became the highlights of Sunoo's recovery. Each time she walked into the room, his face would light up with an unmistakable smile, a testament to the profound connection they shared.
During her visits, they talked endlessly. Sunoo shared more about his life as an idol, the ups and downs of his career, and the camaraderie he shared with his group members. He regaled her with anecdotes – humorous, embarrassing moments from their practices and casual hangouts, which brought laughter and groans from the other ENHYPEN members when they were around.
Then came a day when they found themselves alone, the room quiet except for the two of them. The mood shifted, becoming more intimate and reflective.
Sunoo turned to her, his expression serious yet filled with warmth. "I heard every word you said while I was in the coma, in the dream world. I remember all of it."
Y/N's heart fluttered at his confession, knowing that her words had reached him even in his deepest slumber.
Seeing the small space beside him on the bed, Sunoo shuffled, making room. He motioned for Y/N to join him. With a mix of shyness and excitement, Y/N carefully climbed onto the bed and snuggled close to him. The moment felt surreal, yet so right; her heart skipped a beat as he wrapped an arm around her, pulling her close.
Lying there, with her head resting on his shoulder, Sunoo whispered, "You mean so much to me. It's incredible how a dream brought us together."
Y/N looked up into his eyes, their gaze locking in a moment of deep understanding and affection. She leaned in, placing a gentle kiss on his lips, which he eagerly returned. When they finally pulled away, Sunoo echoed the words she had whispered to him in the hospital room before he awoke.
"I love you. I've wanted to say that for so long. It feels good to finally tell you now," he said, his voice tinged with emotion.
"I love you too, Sunoo," Y/N replied, her own voice filled with love and sincerity.
They leaned in for another kiss, a tender and sweet affirmation of their feelings.
It was during this intimate moment that Heeseung and Riki walked into the room, pausing at the sight of the two cuddled up together. For a moment, they just stood there, taking in the scene before them.
Riki couldn't help but tease, "Look at this, Heeseung. Seems like our Sunoo has found his dream girl, quite literally."
Heeseung smiled, a soft chuckle escaping him. "I guess dreams really do come true, huh?"
Sunoo and Y/N broke their embrace, both blushing slightly at being caught in such an intimate moment. Yet there was a sense of rightness to it, a feeling that what they had was meant to be.
"Guys, give us a moment," Sunoo said, his voice playful yet earnest.
Riki and Heeseung nodded, stepping out of the room with knowing smiles. As the door closed behind them, Sunoo turned back to Y/N, his eyes shining with happiness.
"This is just the beginning for us, isn't it?" he asked, his hand gently caressing her cheek.
Y/N nodded, her heart full. "Yes, the beginning of something beautiful."
The day Sunoo was finally discharged from the hospital was filled with a palpable sense of excitement and relief. The members of ENHYPEN and Y/N waited in the lobby, chatting amongst themselves, while Sunoo went to freshen up and change into the clothes his bandmates had brought for him.
When he emerged, dressed in his own clothes, the change in his demeanor was striking. His smile was brighter, his steps lighter, a clear sign of his eagerness to leave the confines of the hospital. He walked straight towards Y/N, wrapping his arms around her waist in a warm embrace, a gesture he had longed to make.
“I’ve been dreaming of this moment,” Sunoo said, his voice filled with happiness.
Y/N smiled, feeling his warmth. “I’m just glad you’re okay and out of here,” she replied, her heart swelling with affection.
As they exited the hospital, Sunoo asked Y/N about her remaining time in Korea. She mentioned she had a few weeks left, and his eyes lit up with plans.
“Then we’re going to make the most of it,” he declared. “I’ll take you to all my favorite places – the cafes, restaurants, everywhere I love in Seoul.”
The days that followed were a whirlwind of joy and exploration. Sunoo took Y/N on a tour of his world, sharing his favorite spots and creating new memories together. Their happiness was evident to all who saw them, and it wasn’t long before the news that Sunoo had a girlfriend – a special girlfriend – became known.
As the day of Y/N’s departure back to England approached, Sunoo’s mood turned visibly melancholic.
He clung to her, his face etched with a playful yet genuine pout. Y/N reassured him, “I’ll be back, Sunoo, and next time, for longer.”
The other ENHYPEN members watched from the car as Sunoo said his goodbyes. They had all grown fond of Y/N and would miss her presence. She had become more than just Sunoo’s girlfriend; she was a friend to them all.
As they shared their goodbye kiss, Sunoo, being his cheeky self, deepened the kiss, drawing a mix of laughter and blushes from both of them.
Back in England, Y/N recounted her entire experience to Emily, who was almost in disbelief. “I was joking when I said it might be fate, but this… this is like a miracle,” Emily exclaimed, her eyes wide with amazement.
Y/N smiled, her heart still full from the memories of her time in Korea. “It’s more than fate, Em. It’s like a dream come true,” she said, her thoughts drifting back to Sunoo, the dream world they had shared, and the reality they had created together.
Months passed, and the bond between Sunoo and Y/N continued to grow stronger despite the distance. Their daily conversations were filled with laughter, shared dreams, and plans for the future. Sunoo, ever enthusiastic and endearing, never missed an opportunity to express his excitement at seeing Y/N's face or hearing her voice over the phone.
As they chatted one day, Y/N was busy finalizing the details of her next trip to Korea. "I can't wait to see you again, Sunoo. We have so much to do together," she said, her voice tinged with anticipation.
"I'm counting down the days, Y/N. Every moment until you're here seems to stretch on forever," Sunoo replied, his tone playful yet sincere.
Curiosity getting the better of her, Y/N ventured to ask about Sunoo's fans' reactions to their relationship. "How are your fans taking the news about us?" she inquired gently.
Sunoo chuckled before responding, "I shared our story during a live broadcast. You should have seen their reactions! They were completely in awe, especially when I told them how you reached out to me during my coma."
"That's so sweet," Y/N said, her heart swelling with affection. "I'm glad they're supportive."
"You have no idea how much your love and support mean to me, Y/N. It's like a constant source of strength," Sunoo confessed, his voice soft yet filled with emotion.
Y/N smiled, feeling the warmth of his words through the phone. "And you to me, Sunoo. I feel so lucky to have you in my life."
The next day, Emily burst into Y/N's room with an infectious grin, brandishing two tickets to an ENHYPEN concert. "Guess what? We're going to see ENHYPEN live, front row! And it's in America!" she announced excitedly.
Y/N's eyes widened in disbelief. "You're kidding! That's amazing, Em!"
Emily, bubbling with excitement, continued, "I've planned everything – the flights, the hotel. And just think, you'll get to surprise Sunoo!"
Y/N laughed, a mixture of happiness and nerves fluttering in her stomach. "He's going to be so surprised. I can't believe you did this, Emily!"
As they made their preparations for the trip, Y/N couldn't help but feel a thrill of anticipation. The thought of seeing Sunoo perform live, of being there in the crowd, watching him on stage, filled her with an indescribable joy.
"Sunoo has no idea what's coming," Emily teased, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"I can't wait to see the look on his face," Y/N replied, her heart racing at the thought.
The days leading up to the concert were a blur of excitement and planning. Y/N and Emily talked endlessly about the trip, from what they would wear to how they would surprise Sunoo.
Finally, the day of the concert arrived. As they took their seats in the front row, the anticipation in the air was electric. The lights dimmed, and the crowd erupted into cheers as ENHYPEN took the stage.
Y/N's heart pounded in her chest as she watched Sunoo perform. He was incredible on stage, his presence magnetic. As their eyes met during one of the songs, Sunoo's expression shifted from surprise to pure joy.
He flashed her a smile that spoke volumes, a smile that said, "I'm so glad you're here."
Throughout the concert, Y/N and Emily were swept up in the energy and excitement of the music and the crowd. It was an unforgettable experience, made all the more special by the shared glances and smiles between Y/N and Sunoo.
After the concert, as they waited backstage to see Sunoo, Y/N's nerves returned. She fidgeted with her concert bracelet, her mind racing with what she would say to him.
"You're going to make his night," Emily reassured her, giving her a supportive squeeze on the shoulder.
When Sunoo finally emerged, his eyes immediately found Y/N in the crowd. He rushed over, wrapping her in a tight embrace that lifted her off her feet. "I can't believe you're here," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion.
Y/N hugged him back just as fiercely. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world," she said, her voice muffled against his shoulder.
As they pulled away, Sunoo's bandmates gathered around, each taking their turn to greet Y/N and Emily. The atmosphere was one of warmth and camaraderie, a perfect end to an already perfect night.
As the date of Y/N’s return to Korea drew near, she brimmed with excitement, not just for the reunion with Sunoo, but also for the surprises she had in store for him. Her book, Dream State inspired by their unique journey, was now complete – edited, proofread, and ready for publication. But that was only part of the surprise.
The main revelation, which she guarded closely, was her successful application for a work visa. She was moving to Korea for a substantial amount of time, a decision driven by her desire to be closer to Sunoo and to explore the new chapter of her life that had begun to unfold there.
Upon landing in Korea, Y/N felt a mixture of nerves and excitement. She headed straight to the place where she and Sunoo had agreed to meet. As she saw him waiting, her heart skipped a beat. He hadn’t noticed her yet, giving her a moment to admire him from afar.
Taking a deep breath, she walked up to him. “Sunoo!” she called out.
Sunoo turned, and his face lit up with pure joy at the sight of her. In an instant, he closed the distance between them, lifting her into his arms in a warm, enthusiastic embrace. Y/N wrapped her arms and legs around him, laughing as he spun her around.
“Y/N, you’re here! I’ve missed you so much,” Sunoo said, setting her down but keeping her close.
“I’ve missed you too, Sunoo. And I have some surprises for you,” Y/N replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
“A surprise? For me?” Sunoo’s curiosity was piqued.
“First, my book is finished. It’s all about our story – from dreams to reality. And it’s being published soon,” Y/N announced proudly.
“That’s amazing, Y/N! I can’t wait to read it,” Sunoo said, his eyes shining with pride.
“But there’s more,” Y/N continued, her heart pounding with anticipation. “I’ve got a work visa. I’m going to be staying in Korea for a lot longer than you think.”
Sunoo’s eyes widened in disbelief, and a moment later, his face broke into a wide, ecstatic grin. He pulled Y/N into a passionate, enthusiastic kiss, his happiness palpable.
As they broke the kiss, both of them breathless and grinning, the members of ENHYPEN approached, having witnessed the scene from a distance.
“Looks like Y/N has more than just a visit planned,” Heeseung commented with a smile.
“This is incredible! We’re going to have you around for a lot longer,” Jungwon added, his tone light and cheerful.
“Welcome to Korea, Y/N,” Jay said, joining in the chorus of welcoming voices.
The group’s reaction filled Y/N with a sense of belonging and joy. As the group chatted and laughed, making plans for the coming days, Y/N felt a deep sense of contentment. She was exactly where she was meant to be – with Sunoo, surrounded by friends, in a country that was quickly becoming her second home.
The days that followed were a blur of happiness and new experiences. Y/N started her new job, immersing herself in the culture and life in Korea. She and Sunoo spent every possible moment together, their love growing stronger with each passing day.
Sunoo often joked that their love story was like a fairy tale, one that he had never imagined would become his reality. Y/N would smile and remind him that sometimes, dreams do come true.
Their story, which had begun in a world of dreams, had blossomed into a beautiful reality, filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities. And as they looked into each other’s eyes, they knew that this was just the beginning of their happily ever after.
