Not a dream

Author's Point of View:

Minjun woke up, the darkness of the room reducing his vision. He looked around the room, trying to analyze where he was in. He was laying on a mattress, then it clicked,

He was back in his hotel room just as he was about to hear what Jirae had to say about his past. He groaned as he felt a sharp pain shoot up his head, it was the alcohol.

He got up from the comfortable mattress and duvet only to get painkillers from his hugely packed bag. The team wasn't sure when they would reach their respective homes, leading them to pack an awful lot of luggage.

Minjun's team consisted of Jul, Siwon, Mia, Lily, Jenny, and Julia excluding the workers who dig the grounds. Jul and Siwon were dating while Mia was crushing hard on Lily. Mia was like Minjun's sister, he always went to her for advice. Jenny and Julia were engaged, just months ago did Jenny propose.

Jimin tagged along with the group on their project in Rome since he had a week off. He was planning on visiting Paris after this week for a concert there along with his team members. Jimin is dating his fellow bandmate who played drums. Minjun was the only single bean, it seems.

"Mia—" he called out to Mia after entering her hotel room before he halted in his steps looking at Mia and Lily making out with fake disgust. He was happy for her, really. But, it seems like they two had fun last night, just like you Minjun!

"Yah, Minjun! Can't you see that I'm busy?" Mia asked, still making out with her brand new girlfriend who was trying to push her off softly due to embarrassment. Minjun wore a serious expression,

"I need to talk to you, I have something to tell." He deadpanned. Mia got the message that it was important and therefore stopped trying to kiss Lily.

"You go to your room, Jun. I'll be there after dressing." She said, voice soft as she pecked Lily's lips one last time and smiled lovingly at her. She looked at Lily as if her eyes held the universe. Can't complain though, she's in love.

She quickly got up from her bed with the duvet wrapped around her slim body before quickly reaching to the door, closing it. She then got some casual, comfy clothes to wear before exiting her hotel room, not forgetting to give Lily a goodbye kiss.

Mia knocked on Minjun's door, waiting for some minutes before entering as she heard a muffled 'come in' from Minjun. She sighed, knowing that Minjun was just too lazy early in the morning to leave his bed.

Mia walked in finding Minjun laying in his bed. She smiled at him lightly, sitting on the loveseat near the bed. Minjun got up, facing Mia.

"Spill," Mia said, waiting for Minjun to start. She could feel the look of confusion on Minjun's face. She knew that he was not that big of a talker, he was choosing the right words to speak.

"So, um... You know that I got the warren cup for research, right? So, I kinda drunk in it-" he was cut off by Mia, "What the fuck, bro?" "Don't 'bro' me, bitch. I'm your son." He smiled cheekily. Mia sighed, "Whatever. Now, go on."

"So, that night, I got a dream. It was like I went to 5th century Rome. I met someone called Dara—" "Wait, did you just say Dara? As in like Dara?" "Yes, why?" "Oh, nothing. You go on."

"So, Dara brought me to this bar type of place? I saw a guy there but then, I woke up. The next day, that dream continued from where it stopped. So, his name was Jirae and he's a prostitute. Last night, he gave me a blowjob, and lemme tell you it was so fucking good."

"So, you're telling me, you felt it?" Mia questioned, looking at Minjun with a questioning face. "Of course, you dumbo, I felt it! I mean like it was so good, he was so fucking beautiful my eyes are blind! I'm literally in love with him!" Minjun exaggerated.

Mia sighed, speaking the first thing that came to her mind, "Minjun, you might act all big and mature but, sometimes you're too dumb. You can't feel your dreams, you idiot! It's not a dream, something odd is happening! We have to get more information on this cup and Rome, thank goodness we're in Rome!" She finished her outburst.

"So, it's not a dream?" Minjun asked, Mia, sighed. Minjun was a literal baby, he acts scary with others but, when he's with the people he loves, he becomes childish and carefree.

"Yes, you baby! It's not a dream. Now go get dressed, we gotta leave for the site. I'm going to my room, okay? We'll figure this out. Soon..." And with that Mia got out of Minjun's room, leaving the boy to think.

Minjun got dressed, wearing a white button-up shirt and black pants. He also got a hat and some sunglasses. You know the sun is no joke when you're working on an open site. He applied some sunscreen on his skin before setting out.

Minjun and his team gathered in the hotel lobby, greeting each other, planning their day out as Siwon was making a call, letting the workers know where they had to reach.

"So, we're going to open land which has been unused for, god knows how long. It's said that they never constructed buildings or even went into the place because they believe it is cursed, cursed by someone with a pure heart that his curse would kill anyone who dared to step there." Minjun explained, the others nodding and humming.

"But, isn't it dangerous for us to enter there?" Jul questioned, the curse scaring him a little. "Yes, it might be but, if we find anything there then, we might find something that might even change history!" Julia spoke up, everyone nodding convincing Jul.

"Let's just hope you guys find something there," Jimin said, Siwon informing the group that the workers will be there before anyone could reply. With that, they set out, to the cursed place...

Or should I say to Jiwon's house which he restricted the entry to after Minjun left?
