Lost In Reverie

Prologue

"I'm stuck in his reverie... And I don't want to leave..."

For someone who does Lucid dreaming once a week, Jeon Wonwoo has already mastered drifting from one person's dream to another in a matter of minutes or even seconds. In other cases, he'd enter someone's daydream, even though he's wide awake, automatically.

"Mister Jeon Wonwoo!!!", his professor called him. With dull eyes, he turned his head to meet his professor's glare.

"I'm sorry sir...", he said and looked at his seatmate, Jin. "So it's Namjoon, huh?".

Jin turned his head to Wonwoo's direction, blush creeping on his cheeks. Wonwoo chuckled at Jin's flustered face.

He'd just entered Jin's dream because of boredom. The place was fancy and it was already night time there. There, he saw the two dating in a fair.

"W-what?", Jin asked in a low voice. "Nothing. I said, Namjoon's the next one for reporting...".

Jin sighed and closed his book. Wonwoo laid his head on his hand and stared outside the window.

"I should really start learning how to manipulate dreams. It's too boring to just watch... Aish... Why isn't the bell ringing?!? Is it broken?", he thought.

"... And before I dismiss you guys, I would like to inform you about the new transferee that will come in your class next week. It would probably be hard for him to cope up so... I want you all to help him, okay?", the professor said while pointing his ruler to each one of his students. The class replied with an 'Okay sir' before hearing the bell ring.

"Yah! Wonwoo! Where are you going?", Seungcheol asked as he put an arm around Wonwoo's shoulder.

"Home", he replied and put Seungcheol's arm down. He picked up the book that he was reading and slowly made his way to the door.

Snow slowly fell from the sky as he walked pass Han River. The people around him were covered in thick jackets and parkas, busily chatting with each other while taking a sip of coffee bought from a nearby coffee shop. He pulled his scarf near his mouth as he felt his lips freezing.

"One cup of vanilla latte please", he said while rubbing his hands together.

He grabbed his wallet and took out his credit card. He handed it to the barista s***h cashier, but he just stared at him in confusion.

"What?", Wonwoo asked, brows furrowed while staring at the tall, dark, and handsome barista.

"This is for free. Why are you paying?", the barista said while turning off the coffee machine.

"Free?", Wonwoo asked as he put his credit card in his coat's pocket.

"Yeah. These coffees are free for all people who visit my café during Winter...", the barista said while handing him his coffee.

The guy's nose was scrunched, confusion still visible on his gorgeous face. Wonwoo turned his back and was about to exit the place but the guy held his arm tightly. "Wait! This is not real! I'm dreaming! Why-are you a lucid dreamer like me too?", the guy asked excitedly.

"Fuck... I'm screwed..."
