Lay nodded his head over to the hallway signalling that he wanted to talk a walk and talk privately.She excused her self from Suho and walked over to Lay.He fished his liter out of his pocket and lit his cigar up.

She peeked through the crack of the door to see chen rambling on about something and chanyeol who covered his eyes.He looked like he would snap soon enough.lay started walking on but paused and turned around when he noticed she wasnt following.

“Im not supposed to l-”

“Chanyeol knows.”he continued on walking and Atlass looked around anxiously before finally following him.

He took her out to the gardens.It wasnt much of a garden anymore as the evergreen shrubs and bushes were covered deeply in snow.Suho had the candles taken out so it looked like it did before.He was on his 5th cigar but she guessed if he was immortal he didnt have to worry about it.

“Im leaving soon.”He said kicking a bit of snow with his boot.

“My wife and I have decided to visit relatives far off in the east then we will be leaving to the south to check on my business.”She knew he had told Suho he couldnt stay around for long.

“When?”They stopped by the small pond at the edge of the gardens.He shrugged his shoulders taking another swig.

“A couple days.”He blew out a blow of smoke.He looked like he was worried that what he said would hurt her.

“Im worried about you.”At first she thought he was joking.Why would he need to worry about her.But the look on his face told her he was dead serious.

“If this dream Ark doesn't work you'll be trapped in your mind forever.”

she in a breathe.

“What do you mean.”it wasnt a question.She knew exactly what he meant.

“Dont worry, I have a plan.”he smirked but his face fell again. “ But you have to follow everything i tell you to do while im gone.”She didnt know if she could trust him but he was the only one that could guide her through the dream ark.She nodded.

“When I leave I need you to befriend someone get close to them.Make a connection.It could be anyone.Your father,Your brother,chanyeol, or chen i dont care.Second, fine something important to you an object of some sort.”

“Thats it?”he nodded.He looked back.

“Chanyeol is waiting for you.”She looked back.Lay was right.Chanyeol was standing by the back doors of the mansion.His arms stuffed in his pocket.She walked back to him but lay snatched her wrist back.

“Don't tell anyone what ive told you.Its between you and me.”She nodded.His expression was scary but it lightened up to a smile.He let go of her
