"Huff….. Huff….. Goddamn you…."

Shuku opened his eyes when he heard Youngsun yell this. He was merely sitting up on a chair while he recharged.

He doesn't need a tank, just some wire to attach to a socket which is more convenient. He was by the desk in Youngsun's bed when he heard him wake up breathless and fuming.

"Another nightmare?"

Youngsun rubbed his face. "Yes….. Give me some water."

He just lazily took the water prepared at the desk and handed it over to him. "What is it about?"

Youngsun never answered again.

"It's about your father, isn't it?" 

Youngsun's eyes widened. "How did you know?"

"The word for 'father' in different languages is always the same, bearing similarities. Appa, baba, papa, ama, abba. Even if you sleep-talk in another language, it's easy to tell."

Youngsun looked away. "So I talk in my sleep….. Great. What else did you hear?"
