Minho sits quietly in the living room assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Jonghyun had left the busy work behind yesterday after the argument. Kibum watches Minho flip all of the face down pieces diligently.

What if you’re misinterpreting your dreams again?

Key grimaces at Jonghyun’s words. He cringes at the memories of the hazy dream. The blood curdling screams make it difficult for him to think about any other aspect of the dream.

“What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of red and blue lights?” Kibum asks softly.

Minho pauses, a puzzle piece hovering over its spot, “cop car?” Key’s eyes widen, a cop car? Why was I burning then? Kibum rubs his head at the straining of thoughts, was that the accident? Minho clicks the piece into a small mass of orange, beaming at his achievement.

Minho places a puzzle piece against his lips as he scans the different patterns. He nibbles lightly on the edge of the cardboard toy. He sets the piece aside in a pile of similar colors. He sighs while standing from his work. He drags his feet along the laminate floor, inching gradually towards Kibum. He plops next to him on the couch. Key hugs the wraith, wishing he had a handle of what exactly Jonghyun was trying to tell him. Minho interlocks his fingers with Key, carefully watching the action. Kibum relaxes at the sweet reminiscent scent of Minho.

“What are you thinking about?” Minho exhales.

Kibum grinds his face into Minho’s chest, releasing more of his soothing smell like a scratch and sniff, “something Jonghyun told me … I’m not getting it though. The lights in my dream burned me, but Jonghyun says I’m not translating the dream correctly.”

Minho uses his free hand to scoop Key’s bangs away from his forehead, “You felt burning?” Kibum nods sheepishly looking up at the spirit. Minho untangles their fingers. His gaze remains sternly on Key. He places the edge of his index finger under Kibum’s chin. “Come here,” he whispers. Kibum climbs up Minho’s torso, he keeps an inch’s distance from the poltergeist’s face. “Closer,” Minho breathes.

Key blushes at Minho’s request. His body is frozen above Minho’s. The wraith blinks up at him. Kibum casts his eyes bashful from his inability to move. He takes in heavy breaths, why is this so hard. It’s not like I’ll feel him. Why am I so nervous? Key slinks down to Minho’s clavicle, pouting at his cowardice. The ghoul drags his fingers along Kibum’s scalp. Minho keeps his eyes pasted to the ceiling now.

“Are you like Jonghyun?” Kibum breaks the calm silence.

“What?” Minho yawns.

“Jonghyun seems to know everything about me. Do you know everything about me too?” Key questions.

“Why would you ask me something like that?” Minho avoids the question.

Kibum shuts his eyes, “I want to know.”

Minho pats one of Kibum’s shoulder blades rhythmically, “what would you think if I told you I knew Jonghyun and he knew of me?”

Kibum presses his shoulders into Minho’s ribs, “Do you haunt him too?” Minho covers Key’s further ear. He begins to hum a familiar tune. Key feels a shock through his system. He jerks away from the demon, “How do you know that?” The haunt doesn’t respond. “Are you talking to Jonghyun? I thought people couldn’t hear you!” Kibum’s fear becomes increasingly existential the more he talks.

“You talk to me,” Minho’s voice feels threatening.

Kibum stumbles back, “What are you?” The demon stares at Key unresponsive.
