who is calling seungcheol?
here, where seungcheol is, nobody seems to see him.
he can see clearly that nobody from seventeen uttered his name.
what did that person mean? why did the plead?
seungcheol is very much awake.
hyung? that must be a seventeen member.
but who?
how can he wake up?
is seungcheol just dreaming?
seungcheol refuses to believe so.
seungcheol knows that he's dead.
even if seungkwan used his ability.
"you can't die,"
but that doesn't mean that seungcheol won't.
seungcheol stares at seventeen once again.
"they need me," seungcheol thinks,
but it doesn't look like it in here.
then why is somebody pleading seungcheol to wake up?
seungcheol is utterly confused.
"you shouldn't stay here for long, hyung," seungcheol's eyes widen when someone calls him out.
"appreciate your members' efforts by staying alive."
"samuel!"
seungcheol immediately engulfed the younger in an embrace, samuel laughs and hugs him back.
"why are you here? when did you get here?"
"i was always here."
samuel smiled at seungcheol.
"in the back of your mind."
once again, seungcheol was confused.
back of his mind?
"i missed you so so much. everyone does too."
seungcheol pulls away and cups samuel's face.
"please pay them a visit, samuel. they miss you."
"they miss you too, hyung. you can't be here."
samuel sighed in worry.
"please go now."
"but how?!"
seungcheol accidentally raised his voice out of frustration. he wants to be with seventeen again, but is there any other way?
besides, if he stays here, he'll be with samuel, and he would be able to watch over seventeen.
and then it dawned on him.
why was samuel here?
"samuel, why are you here? where have you gone to? what happened to you?"
"nobody knows, hyung."
seungcheol furrowed his eyebrows.
"what do you mean?"
"i act and speak like how i am depicted in your mind. you never knew what happened to me, do you? so i don't know too."
samuel sighed and ran a hand through his hair.
"wake up, hyung. you're dreaming."
and it hit seungcheol like a tidal wave.
he isn't dead?
this scene in front of him isn't really seventeen?
this isn't samuel?
seungkwan's ability is working?
how is he still alive?
"samuel....."
"hyung, they need you."
alright.
"jeonghan-hyung's at the lobby!"
