✣ THE VISITOR !
(. the ceiling is painted with sunlight’s pictures, he blinks and they change; he blinks again and they’re the same. the room is quiet, it is deafening — thoughts. they’re what plagues him as he lies on his bed, lips pursed and a little agitated in his state of befuddlement. dreams are the subject of the conundrum, more specifically, how real they are and how real they feel — he knows what it’s like to have a friend, even though he’s never had one. byunghun has come close, but he’s different; he’s love and chaste kisses, held hands and whispered voices. no, the dream taught him what it was like to have a nest friend; a redhead with sneaky smiles who punches his gut on his birthday, gives him presents that he doesn’t have when he wakes. one that accepts his weird and goes along with it, a pretend heavy heart and a sarcastic sigh. he licks his lips, he frowns, he smiles at a false memory planted in his head. he remembers jeon jeongguk. and that is when he begins to wonder, because if byunghun had that same dream maybe he did, too. the thought has him sitting up, ignoring his lethargy; smiling a cheshire’s grin —. he thinks, he remembers, he feels, he sees. he may not know what it’s like to have a friend, but a dream taught him the value of one’s company. he wants to see him, and he will. molecules disperse; spread across a room, he dissipates, reforms. ends up on a bed that seems familiar but not quite, a different room with a different person standing back to him. his hair is dark, how strange. he was expecting red. oh well. at least he knows where he is … ) jeongguk, you look weird with dark hair. (. he snorts, shifts on the bed and pulls his legs into a cross. it’s not a bad look just .. different. he wonders how different jeongguk really is, if he’s different at all. he wonders if they’ll be friends. … he wonders what that means. ) you must be gifted, too — byunghun has a room like this but he’s in some weird school —. i guess he’s not a mafia prince after all, that’s kind of disappointing but —. (. he pauses in his excitement, thinks a moment, realizes this situation is probably a little strange. ) hey, do you remember me?
