"Yeosang stop barking at me.", Seonghwa said.
Puppy Yeosang kept running around Seonghwa, barking loudly at him.
"He doesn't like you.", Jongho said.
"I can tell."
It was later that night at the Ateez campsite.
Wooyoung was now little and in the tent with a sleeping San, playing with his toys quietly.
"Zoom zoom zoom...", he said quietly, rolling his cars around.
"Hm?"
Wooyoung turned around, and San was waking up.
"Sorry daddy! I just play with toys."
"Oh you're fine baby boy."
San sat up, looking around. He had a sad look on his face.
"You okay daddy?"
"I'm fine baby. Let's go see what the others are doing."
Wooyoung watched San crawl from the tent.
The little went into his fox form, following him.
"Looks like sleeping beauty has risen.", Yunho said.
"Yeah...", San replied, sitting down.
Fox Wooyoung chased Puppy Yeosang around, the two littles playing together happily.
"Are you okay San? You don't look too good.", Hongjoong said.
Everyone except for the hybrid littles looked at San.
"I'm good. Just...a nightmare."
"Well tell us about it. Might make you feel better.", Seonghwa said.
"I...I don't want to bother you all with my stupid dreams."
Jongho came and sat next to him.
"If it's making you this upset, it's not stupid."
San sighed, looking up at the night sky.
"For the past seven months I have been having the same dream at least once a week."
"That's very frequent for a recurring dream.", Seonghwa said.
"Yeah. In the dream, we were all at some house, and it got set on fire while some of us were still inside."
The members got tense at the sound of the story.
"I don't know why, or who did it. But...in the end...there were three of us left."
"Who?", Yunho asked.
"Me, Hongjoong, and Seonghwa."
Jongho, Yunho, and Mingi all made eye contact.
Fox Wooyoung ran up to San, hopping on his lap.
"Hi sweetheart. Had enough running around?"
"Puppy Sangie tried to bite me daddy!"
Puppy Yeosang barked at him.
"I not bite you Youngie! For now..."
"Ahhhhh!", Wooyoung screamed, jumping off of San and running into the tent.
Puppy Yeosang followed him.
"Am I the only one thoroughly creeped out that San is having recurring dreams of five of us dying?", Mingi asked.
"That's why I didn't want to mention it. It's just a stupid dream. I don't want you all to be scared.", San replied.
Yunho looked behind San, noticing what looked like a flashlight.
"Hey guys, what's that?"
They all turned around.
A man in a security unform emerged, turning off his flashlight.
"You boys aren't allowed to be here. This is a reserved campsite.", he said in Thai.
"We're sorry sir. We had no idea we couldn't be here.", Seonghwa responded.
"Well I'm here to tell you. Please pack up and leave. We need this space cleared."
"Sorry sir."
The man nodded, leaving again.
"You speak Thai?", Jongho asked.
"I'm fluent. But that's besides the point. Looks like we need to go."
The group stood up as the littles came back out of the tent in their human form.
"Daddy? What wrong? Where we going?", Wooyoung asked.
"Security came. Apparently we aren't supposed to be here."
"No fair! I like camp!", Yeosang yelled.
The boys began to pack their things.
"I'm so tireddddd.", San complained.
"The nightmares are preventing you from sleeping?", Seonghwa asked.
"Yeah. I wake up everytime and it's hell to go back to sleep."
Seonghwa worriedly turned to Hongjoong, who was also staring at San.
They would have to figure something out to help him.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Hyungies I sleepy.", Yeosang said.
"Us too baby.", Yunho responded.
The boys had been driving around, trying to find a place to stay for a few hours now.
"I figured out the solution to my tiredness.", San said sleepily.
"And what is that?", Hongjoong asked.
"Dancing. If I practice dancing, I'll get so tired that I just pass out."
"San that is the worst idea you have ever had.", Mingi replied.
"You got a better one?"
"Not physically exhausting yourself maybe?"
San pouted, leaning back in the seat.
"Looks like an air bnb is open for rent nearby.", Jongho said.
"Oh that's great!", Seonghwa said.
"Yeah, a four bedroom house. You guys don't mind sharing do you?"
The boys happily agreed to share rooms. Jongho took it upon himself to book the air bnb house and give driver Hwa the location.
"It's less than five minutes away.", Seonghwa said.
"Oh that's the best news of the night.", Mingi said.
Yeosang and Wooyoung were leaning on each other, fast asleep.
San watched the cars drive by on the street as they drove on.
Pretty soon, they arrived at the gorgeous two story home.
Yunho and Seonghwa carried the littles inside while the others got the bags and other items.
The inside of the house had wood floors and decorations.
"This is nice. I'm shocked it was available.", Yunho said.
"Us too.", the others said in unison.
They decided to unpack in the morning.
They all chose their pairings and immediately went to bed.
San sat in the living room of the house.
"San, you're not going to bed?", Mingi asked.
"I won't be able to sleep right now. I'll try in a bit."
"Okay. Just please get some rest. It's vacation man."
Mingi went up to his room.
San put his headphones in, turning on relaxing music.
The time began to roll by slowly.
2am turned to 3am, which turned to 4am and so on.
Around 5:30am, Wooyoung woke up to go to the restroom. When he left the room he was supposed to be sharing with San, he saw the lights still on downstairs.
He walked to the edge of the steps and looked down into the living room.
San was pacing the room.
"San?", he said.
Said member turned to him.
"Wooyoung. Hi. You're awake early."
"You haven't slept have you?", Wooyoung asked, arriving at the bottom of the steps.
"No. But I'm pretty sure I'm like three minutes from fainting so I'll be fine."
"Not funny."
"Was it supposed to be?"
Wooyoung sighed. He hated seeing his friend like this. He noticed the change in sleeping habits over the last few months, and how tired San was all the time.
"Come to bed."
"Wooyoung-"
"This is not up for debate! I care about you and I hate seeing this..."
San looked down.
"Come on. Bed. Now. Sleep."
"Hey I'm not Yeosang, you don't have to use Puppy commands on me."
"I have more terms for a dog I could use on you. You'd like that huh?"
San's eyes went wide before he walked past Wooyoung, going up the steps.
"Oh the power you hold...", Wooyoung said to himself, smiling.
"Come on I want to cuddle you!", San yelled.
"On my way darling!"
"STOP YELLING!", Hongjoong said.
