"Let's go home, Yeonjun. Someone's waiting for you outside this dream."
"Can't we stay here... a bit longer? Soobin?"
"No... You need to wake up- we need to."
"I wish I could sleep a little longer and never wake up..."...

"I want him dead... That person— all of them. Can you grant that?"
The old man in black hood scoffs. "Are you confident because you're a kid?" he asks.
"No, I don't want to get involve. I want them to die in a way that people won't see me as a suspect," the kid replied.
The old man turn to see the kid, bread-fluffy cheeks are flushed due to anger, small hands is turning into fist, and you can see in his glare how desperate he is.
"Kid, do you know the best way to kill someone? It's the nightmare. There won't be anyone involved it's just the person and their dreams. How about that?" the old man suggested.
"How can I do that, Mister?" the kid asks.
"Do you love dreaming?"
"Yes, I love it... it's the only way I can see my parents and we are happy," he replied in teary eyes.
The old man smiles at the kid and started gently patting his head. "Then, find them. Find those people you wanted to kill later when you sleep and then put them in a nightmare, can you do that?"
"Yes, I can... for my family."
Choi Soobin opens his eyes, the first thing he saw is the white ceiling and the fluorescent lights on it. He felt warm tears escaping from his eyes and he slowly wipes it. He looked beside him and he saw Yeonjun's still in that state. Then the door opens and he saw Kai walking towards him with coffee on his hand.
"Soobin! You're awake! Hey! Where did you go, huh? Why didn't you wake up right away!?" Kai exclaimed and hug Soobin.
"I'm fine," Soobin just replied.
"That again! No! You are not! We need to stop this, you need to have surgery this instant!" Hueningkai firmly said.
Soobin purses his lips and looked at Yeonjun, "When's the next eclipse?" he asked instead.
"In three days, Solar eclipse," Hueningkai answered. "What are you planning?"
"I know now how to take him back. In three days... he'll wake up," Soobin stated.
"Soob in three days you might die already!"
"Hueningkai," Soobin called him and hold the other's hand. "I won't die. How many times should I tell you that?"
"I-I'm... I'm just worried. I'm sorry. I'm sorry," he apologized. "I trust you but... but I'm just really worried for you," he cries.
Soobin hushes, "I'm sorry for making you worried. I'll be fine. One last time. Just one last time and I'll end this neatly."
Dr. Kim appeared together with Dr. Park. "Soobin!" Dr. Kim called him. "You're doing great! You are doing well! Choi Yeonjun's brain shows gamma waves and it's coming from his hypothalamus and he's releasing hormones called dopamine which also means the happy hormone!" he exclaimed. "You're going to take him back now, right?"
