I lay in bed, not moving, my eyes open. It's 2:30 in the morning. I accidentally fell asleep, and I regret it.

I dreamt about him again. I don't think I screamed, but I woke up sweating and tears on my cheeks. This time, there were seventeen people standing there. In the woods. I look out my window.

Nobody is there. No man, woman or child there, begging for their lives.

I stumble up and go into the bathroom, splashing some cold water onto my face.

I heave out a sharp breath, rubbing my eyes.

Going into my room, I change my clothes quickly, sport bra and leggings. I grab a shirt and leave my room, finding my way down to the main level in the dark. I feel my way through the kitchen until I find the basement doors.

I skip down the stairs and sigh, pulling my hair into a ponytail as I open the door to the circular room. I press the tile and open the training room.

At least I can distract myself now. I get on the treadmill and turn it on.

Just distract yourself.

Its not just a dream. It's real.

"I thought I heard something down here." I hear someone say. I grab the rail and place my feet on either side of the treadmill.

Jungkook stands there, muscle shirt and track pants on. I turn the treadmill off and grab my shirt, pulling it over my sweaty body.

"Yuh huh." I nod, drinking some water. "I'll head up."

"Why?" He raises and eyebrow. "Can't handle my workout?"

"No, I just don't like being around you." I say flatly and he laughs.

"Ouch? Why not?"

"Cause you're kinda shady." I shrug. "And plus I can totally handle your workout."

"Really?" He says, leaning on the rail of the treadmill. "Is that a challenge?"

"I don't know, you brought it up."

"Yes or no?"

"Fine. Let's see if 'muscle pig' fits the profile. I mean, it never made sense to me but.."

"I'll show you why." He says, flexing his arm and showing me his insanely toned bicep. I pretend to be unfazed.

"Squishy." I tilt my head, poking it.

"I bet that gun wound is pretty squishy too."

"It is, but you aren't touching." I say, hiding my shoulder.

"I know. I'm just teasing." He grins, showing a set of white bunny teeth. "Anyway, What are we talking here?"

"Well I can't do much with my arm, so running. Lots."
