MINHO

I wake up and open my eyes, but as I look around me, it seems that I was already awake. At least, I’m standing up, and I don’t think I’m a sleepwalker. So I must have been awake for a while.

As I look around me, nothing feels familiar. The room is big and dark, as if it wasn’t finished and the walls don’t exist yet. They seem to spring into existence as I walk around the room, each corner revealing itself only when I reach it.

I bring my hands before my eyes and the same thing is happening. They appear in front of me out of nowhere and I’m not even sure I am real. But I can feel my heart beating in my chest. Or maybe I’m making that up too.

A door appears on the far wall, and I decide to take it. I find myself outside, or at least I think it’s outside because there’s a sidewalk and the light from the moon is shining through, but it feels like I’m still inside. There’s something in front of me, covered by a sheet. I decide to check it out, and as I lift up the cover, I realize there’s a car.

Is it mine? Am I allowed to use it? I have no idea where I am, nor how I ended up here. I walk around the car to inspect it, and it seems in good shape. I try to open the front door, and miss a breath when I realize it’s unlocked. The key is laying on the console.

Chapter 12: OMG!!! Okay!!! But no, this can't be the end! This can only be the beginning of an adventure??? I need to know why they both had the same dream? Are they soul mates? Or is their subconscious trying to tell them something?
Please, I need more!!!!

Chapter 9: I find it super interesting that just as he's thinking about Minho again (his saviour I think) this liquid appears. As if it realised that Taemin might be able to escape from the dream after all (with Minho's help).
So it tries to pull him deeper into the dream, so violently that he stops thinking about Minho.
But why??? Why does he have to be trapped in this dream???

Chapter 8: I just love that you always have cover images per chapter. It makes it easier to imagine everything :)
I love how you describe how the dream is in this chapter. How no one picks up the phone, intentionally or not.
Or how he never sleeps but is always driving.

Chapter 5: Oh wow, that's really cool. Does the rose symbolise reality? Because he could hurt himself on it? So Minho definitely has a chance to get him out of there.
I'm curious ♥
