With a heavy heart, Myungsoo, Woohyun, L.Joe and Sungyeol sneaked out of Woollim Boarding School to pay a hospital visit. Park In-Na has been discharged from the hospital. In-Na, however has been spending long days in the hospital, alongside her mother.

“L.Joe, are you sure about this? What if she throws us out?” Myungsoo asked. He couldn’t keep it in any longer. The four boys were on the train to her hometown, holding on to the last strand of hope that everything will be all right. Everything to fall in place. It didn’t matter to him if In-Na didn’t feel the same. What mattered was how they have shared their dreams together. In-Na has dreams. She has always been a dreamer. Myungsoo too, believed in her dreams. They were both dreamers. He wanted her to remember him, even in the smallest way.

L.Joe sat next to Myungsoo in the train, opening up to his archenemy, or so he thought. “In-Na needs you too, Myungsoo. I hated your guts but her life, it will not be complete without you. She needs you to be a part of her.” L.Joe snickered, lightly punching Myungsoo in the arm, earning himself a smile from the soccer player.

“You’re lucky to have her as your best friend,” Myungsoo said, spilling his heart-felt opinions. “Very lucky.”

“So I am,” L.Joe smiled, wrapped up in his own thoughts. “You’re lucky to be have been her dormitory roommate for two months. How was she like? Did she sleep-walked or talked in her sleep?”

"Both," Myungsoo grinned, stifling a small laugh. "She once farted in her sleep."

"Oh, I've seen worst," L.Joe smirked.
 


The two boys laughed, words flowing out of their mouths, as they talked about Park In-Na’s, Park Niel – her alter-ego character.

They realized, at the same time, in perfect unison that this girl has won over their hearts. She was a part of their lives.

Woohyun and Sungyeol, who occupied the seats behind the two boys, listened in, thinking about the good times spent with her. In the time span of two months, many things happened. Learning about Park In-Na’s real identity. Adapting to her rebellious ways. Her unusual habit of sleeping in. To how she was there, just to mend her broken street soccer team. Their dormitory arguments, Park In-Na’s role as the water-boy. The perks and the falls. Room 143’s love for junk food, namely ice cream and potato chips. The blossoming friendship between Park In-Na and the Woollim’s soccer boys. The nicknames given: Woohyun as her annoying alarm clock, Myungsoo as the conceited yet handsome soccer player and Sungyeol as her happy-maker machine.

All those memories, carved to their hearts.
 

 

Woohyun knew how much strength In-Na has. During her stay in the boarding school, she didn’t want him to protect her. She was a fighter. She found ways to seek strength. Even though her heart has broken into

I'm grateful I had the chance to witness this story begin and end before my eyes, and to be able to read it. Not only did these stories perhaps awaken this soul inside me who later on has her eyes opened and saw life and the world differently, then yearned to write; about the uglinesses of everything that exists and doesn't; about anything that revolves around themes of angst and slice of life — it kindled that dreamer in me who failed and made that her fuel to write. This helped me find what creations I wanted to contribute to the world; this was the key to door, the awakening of how later on I would write about miseries and sufferings and pain and struggles, in a way that I can believe only I can do.

Lost Dreamers and Dorm Buddies will eternally hold a very special place in my soul, so will you. Thank you.

And also, thanks to you, I was intrigued enough and watched Amélie which became one of my few favorite films, and, like your stories, hold a dear place in my soul.

Chapter 59: I love him and truly devastated by this news, because i love his friendship with the other members. but i support him going after his dreams. it must've been really difficult for him.
your story is one of the stories ive kept very special in my heart. i read this when i was very young & starting to learn the hard things and sadness life could bring. now, I'm almost 20 and i've experienced too many painful things that I'm surprised I could still continue living.
I came back here after years of not really active reading fanfics like i used to, just to see your story again. I've lost inspiration, motivation for the past years ( i was lost, because of a difficult phase in my life) , I came here to read your story again , just to feel what i felt years ago . i had sparks of emotions when i read your story. i just wanna say how special your story is to me :") you're really inspiring authornim. thanks for being one of the reasons why i am who i am today .

Chapter 59: I was very shocked when I saw the news also, but, it's his decision. And if he wants to pursue his dreams, I have nothing against it even though I can't help but be sad since there would be no more ot6 Teen Top like before but I'm very willing to support him no matter what.
I kind of feel nostalgic since I read your fan fiction back on 2012 too. Right when you were just starting to write this and I so agree on what you said, that's what I also thought when I was reading this and maybe that's one of the reasons your work really got me hooked up. Ljoe really does suit the kind of character you wrote. This is a work of art. It's just so, so beautiful. Your writing style is just-- I don't know, I can't explain it in words but you really do have the talent. I think I would always remember the OT6 moments whenever I would read this story and thank you for that. I feel so nostalgiiiiiiiiic, gah. :(
