Taehyun quietly sat in the car listening to some music, while his one band mate slept and the other drove. They were going to a 90s roller skatepark in Amsterdam for vacation to rest from their world tour. Taehyun looked out the window and saw the beautiful city of Amsterdam, it was quiet and it looked simple. His eyes were wide with curiosity and his mouth was agape as he stared.

"I wondered if it was a dream
Because I was thinking about you
But I know this night is true
It's true."

The music sang and suddenly Taehyun wasn't curious anymore, he wasn't amazed by the amazing view anymore, he was sad. Lately, Taehyun had been having weird dreams about a young boy who shared a name with him and a boy named "Yeonjun". He never saw any of their faces in the dreams, only their bodies. He couldn't help but feel connected to Yeonjun and Taehyun. Taehyun looked down at his fingers fiddling with his earphones. "Are you alright Taehyun?" Kai, his band mate, asked.

Taehyun flinched, "I thought you were asleep.." Taehyun held onto his chest. "You seem a little more quiet than usual..." Taehyun huffed. "Haha, no, it's just that I'm a little tired, we've been on the road for an hour." "Why don't you take a nap then?" Hueningkai asked with worry in his eyes. "Don't worry about me." Taehyun let out a forced smile. After hour 2 on the road Taehyun started to feel sleep creep up on him. His eyes drooped slowly and he ended up falling asleep.

"Umm hey, do you have a partner?"  "No... I don't have a partner, do you wanna be mine?" "Sure."

"We need all the homosexuals to step out." "Fag. Nancy. Faggot. Twink."

"Happiness seeps into me when you're around, Taehyun. I wish I could tell you exactly how I feel, just saying 'I love you' isn't enough, most of my feelings would still not be expressed. I long for you Taehyun, I long to hear your voice. Just thinking about you makes my day better. Do you... feel the same...?"

"You taste like honey."

"Wouldn't running away be better? Nobody to throw us into those camps and nobody to treat us less than what we are just because we are not their perception of " normal "."

"Please don't tell anyone that I was with Yeonjun, just say it was me and someone else... Please."

"Don't hate me mother, if I am gay... would you still love me?"

"I love you so much, I'd never want you to go into those camps."

"I'm busy, I don't always have time for you!"

"Let's run away... to a world far away from here... where no one will judge us... where we can be happy... together."

"3"

"2"

"1"

Taehyun opened his eyes quickly and wiped the sweat and tears that had formed in his sleep. He looked around and realised he wasn't in the car anymore. Are we at the hotel? He heard his band mates in the lounge. He got out and found them eating and watching TV. "You're finally awake sleeping beauty." Soobin, his other band mate, asked.

"When did we arrive? And why didn't you wake me up?" Taehyun said sitting down and munching on some of Hueningkai's food. "You looked so peaceful and cute, we didn't want to disrupt you and we arrived like an hour ago." Kai answered. "We need to leave at 8 for the skatepark so we need to start getting ready." Soobin said getting up.

Taehyun took a long, hot shower. He couldn't help but think about his dream. Taehyun washed the tear stains off of his face. He looked into the mirror for a while. Why am I so affected by these dreams? Am I... am I Taehyun? "I'm going crazy." Taehyun muttered to himself before scoffing and leaving to get changed.

The boy's finally arrived at the roller skatepark. Soobin and Kai were in the crowd of skating couples and friends. Taehyun sat on a bench alone as he sipped on his can of coke and chewed his crisps. He looked at his friends skate together happily and smiled a bit. "Why're you sitting here all alone?" He heard a deep but sweet voice ask. He looked over to the voice and saw a mysterious boy who looked almost the same age as him.

"I just don't know how to skate, haha." Taehyun said, faking a smile before dropping it and sipping on his coke. "Hmm, I see, I was invited by my friend but he came with his girlfriend now I'm a third wheel." The boy said sitting down on the bench. Taehyun looked at the boy, as he sat. He looks ethereal. Taehyun thought before choking on some coke.

"Woah, are you okay?" The boy asked hastily asked. "Yeah, just went down the wrong pipe." Taehyun choked out. The mysterious boy let out a bright smile. That smile looks familiar. "So, what's your name?" Taehyun asked as he chewed his chips. "I'm Beomgyu, Choi Beomgyu, and you are?" Beomgyu smiled, out stretching his hand for Taehyun to shake. Choi??

Taehyun shook his hand as he introduced himself. "I'm Taehyun, Kang Taehyun. Nice to meet you." Taehyun smiled but Beomgyu wasn't smiling anymore. "W- what's wrong?" Taehyun asked. "Kang Taehyun? 1988, 11th grade?" Beomgyu asked, tears slowly started streaming down his face. All the memories and dreams came rushing back to Taehyun and he burst in tears. "Yeonjun?" Taehyun sniffed out. Beomgyu hugged Taehyun tightly. "I finally found you."

Beomgyu and Taehyun talked to eachother the whole night and reconciled with their past and present selves. Beomgyu taught Taehyun how to skate and Taehyun felt the same butterflies he felt when he first met Yeonjun in 1988.

The stars from the sky
I don't want anything else
I just want this night
I will not let go of your hand
I will not let you go
Purple night
I like it
