NIGHT TERRORS

insp by czernys' and bellyache's prompts !

jaehyuk stands in a dark room. his eyes haven't adjusted quite yet, and he's fumbling his way to find any semblance of a solid object. he can feel the sweat beginning to prick up through his palms and the familiar twisting in his stomach. it is quiet--no, it's silent. his throat is tight and he can't even make to clear it.

after what feels like hours of grappling with the dark, his hands finally come into contact with something soft ...like crushed velvet. his breath hitches and he moves closer to it. what is it what is it what is it--

he waits for his eyes to adjust, but nothing happens. his hands continue to slide over the softness in front of him. come on come on come on--

all of a sudden, a spotlight shines down before him. it burns his eyes and he hisses as he recoils. he blinks a few times, waits for his eyes to adjust, and then he's lunging forward. the spotlight is almost heavenly in its rays, making the one before him sparkle.

sitting in front of him is brown the bear in all of his glory. jaehyuk feels his heart swell, his entire body filled with a warm and admiration for this bear. as he moves to approach him, a deep voice resonates throughout the space.

"why did you abandon me for ryan, jaehyuk?" brown bellows. "why did you betray line friends for the despicable kakao friends?"

jaehyuk's barely able to string any words into a coherent sentence. "i-i...it's not like that, it's just--"

"you will pay for this, jaehyuk," brown hisses. "you. will. pay."

and jaehyuk sits upright in his bed, wheezing, sweat beading along his forehead and trickling down his spine. he collapses back down onto the mattress, hugging his pillow to him and waiting for his eyes to stop watering. the dream.. it felt so .. Real ..

his eyes drift up to see the brown stuffed animal sitting in the corner of his room. something in him twists and he leaps out of his bed and out of his room.

...

the other tenants wake up to see packets of maxim strewn all over the kitchenette, boxes of cereal haphazardly tossed every which way, and a certain kim jaehyuk hunched over a bowl of ore-o's and eating them like his life depends on it. 

"dude..." one of the tenants mumbles. "what are you doing."

"i literally just went grocery shopping yesterday !!!" another tenant wails. "now we're out of everything again !!!"

"you drank all the in milk you !!!" another tenant bellows, striding up to smack jaehyuk over the head.

jaehyuk winces, holding his bowl of ore-o's close to his chest with an almost primal motion. "leave me alone ! i'm stress eating !!"

the other tenants look among themselves, some shrugging while others are rolling their eyes.

"you haven't even gone into work yet," one tenant says. "how can you be stress eating ??"

jaehyuk sheepishly looks down into his cereal, chuckling awkwardly under his breath. "so, i might've...had...a .. nightma..re ???"

a collective groan goes up amid all the tenants and they're rushing to put him into a chokehold before he can even blink.

Chapter 8: AAAAaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAaaAAAA seriOUsly i'm so sorry for not being able to send in the second app just yet iM CRYING i can't believe i'M SO LATE,,, BUT LIKE,,, tHIS IS ALREADY SO GOOD even without the relationships part not made really clear yet, they all seem to blend in together so well, it's just endearing,,,

first of all, sora and dani were so funny lmfao it was a whole mess and it was just the two of them,,, i could relate to a personal level to hwan with his slightly 'can't be bothered' attitude when he just continued working like he was just used to that mess even when dani went across him and it was so funny and i was just like "hard same bro"
ALSO,,, joonyoung i can't in believe that dork,, he's just always looking for jAehYuK,,,, BREATHE MAN... AND, I DIDN'T MISS THAT SUKYUNG-JOONYOUNG THING TBH i'm slightly clear with the rs with everyone else but i can't seem to formulate something clear enough with sukyung bUT THAT TENSION (IS IT TENSION),,, i liked it so much i read it so many times HAHAHAHAHAHA like,,, sPILL THE TEA IM CURIOUS WHAT IS IT, it looks like,,, there's this whole awkward situation where they're friends but there's this gap and awkwardness so they just navigate weirdly around one another...or at least sukyung notably does compared to joon... (is it because jaehyuk and sukyung dated is that it is that it im crying im so curious) anyway, i still cooed when he slid her candy hehehehehe i'm soft hhhh
and i was highkey happy with sora and sukyung's lowkey bonding over being roommates,,, like sukyung hiding a smile, it's nice to see her happy after her being introduced as rather nonchalant and hesitant with expressing herself
also with jaehyuk lmfao don't laugh at me but like when he brought over so many snacks what i thought was savings and how much he paid for this,,, will they be broke over this small feast I FEEL LIKE IM ACTING LIKE A JOONYOUNG BUT JOON DIDNT EVEN WORRY ABOUT IT HAHAHA jaehyuk-joonyoung content has me uwu again for this chapter

THANKS FOR THIS TT TT i love this i love u im reluctant to add anything to the relationships section now i'll probably jsut end up filling it in with obvious stuff jsskjhajs

Chapter 8: it !!!!! is out !!!!!!! im yelling !!!!!!
first of all i LOVE ur writing tofu sama...... u never rlly write comedy/crack but this.. BUT THIS.. *magic*
dani is a whole mess and i love her so much, she reminds me of this one yorkshiere terrier my friend used to have who would be super loving and *heart heart* but got super intense whenever i tried to play fetch w him AKDHCBSKKA
her lil spat w sora was the cutest thing for some reason idk i love THEM
sora is such a mom... not like a white suburb mom that goes, 'i love u sweetie!' before drinking away her woes with red wine and crackers while the kids are asleep, but an asian mom that tells u she found u in the dumpster and tells u ur hopeless but brags about u to all her friends ~_____~
and hwan! our resident old man
dw u portrayed him just fine hehe him just doodling among all the chaos is a major hwan mood ^______^ also having him drink from a tiny lil banana milk bottle while saying "i have to lift boxes" was so funny for some reason idk PERHAPS IM WHIPPED
also that tiny part w joonyoung and sukyung... i see u..... WHAT HAPPENED.... is it dramatic? scandalous? cute? TELL ME THE DETAILS
but tbh i feel like joonyoung would get along w sukyung the best????? from pure calm demeanor hwan is on a similar level w her and sora is responsible too but idk joonyoung seems the most down 2 earth and like... hed just GET her
jaehyuks 'bidness' was so cute bye why is he like that

issa great pilot chapter tofu smooch smooch
