Happiness
How wonderful is it to dream? If Seungho could choose, he would live in his dreams for an eternity. These dreams where everything is so strange, seemingly illogical and yet he understands every part of it, where anything can happen, where emotions flow freely leaving him without the ability to control it, even in nightmares. He loves it. He loves his nightmares, the thrill when a killer is chasing him in an empty street or the fear of a spider nest that is tangled around his body.

However, friends like Joon would immediately notice such things and start bothering him with questions. In those past few days as he was looking for a way to calm down, he came across a blog of love advices. He knew it was stupid but he wrote an anonymous message doubting that anyone would even answer him. They did. Yet it made Seungho laugh as they made it seem like confessing was the easiest thing in the world. Seungho laughed but it still bothered him, and the more he thought about it the more possible it seemed. It wasn’t that he hoped to get an answer from Sanghyun.
