*No one's pov*

Minho locked himself in his room six days ago now, and he doesn't seem to want to exit. He isn't eating almost anything; he's not resting at all and he has become paler and skinnier.

F: "Hyung, I'm really worried for him, he has to rest and eat" says Felix looking upstairs
CH: "I know Lix, but we can't force him. I mean, he lost his soulmate, he is feeling a kind of pain that we can't imagine"
F: "I know but-"
CH: "We have to let him stay alone, at least since tomorrow, you know..."
F: "Ok, you're right. I'll bring him a sandwich and some water. I still can't believe it has passed a week"
CH: "We all can't. Now go, if he doesn't eat Hayoon will kill us"

Felix giggled weakly. Then he went to the kitchen and prepared something for Minho. While going upstairs a tear formed in his eyes thinking about tomorrow, the day they choose for the funeral. Felix lets out a shaky breath and then knocked at his hyung's door. No one responded, but the lock opens and the blond boy enters.
The room is in a complete state of chaos: the books and the papers are all on the floor, together with clothes and remains of meals. The windows are closed and the curtains are drawn. The bed all unmade. The lights off.
The only part of the room that hasn't changed is Jisung's: all his books are sorted tadily on the desk and shelves, and his clothes are neatly folded into the open closet. As if he were to come back any moment, Felix noted.
Minho was sitting on the floor, reading something that the smaller couldn't see.

F: "Hyung, I brought you something to eat"
MH: "I don't want anything" responds the brown boy
F: "Hyung you have to eat, or else you'll die"
MH: "At least I'll see Jisung"

Felix felt like something has slapped his face violently.

F: "Lee Minho, I swear to fucking God, Jisung would not have wanted you to reduce yourself like this. So, do me a favor, come here and eat. At least to recover some strength for tomorrow"

Minho turns to the other boy and finally he eats something. Felix stays with him until he finishes eating the sandwich he made for him.

MH: "Thank you"
F: "No problem. Now sleep please, you need it"
MH: "Ok"
F: "See you tomorrow hyung"
MH: "Bye Lix"

Felix slowly exits the room watching while Minho got into the bed. Once he was sure the other boy was in, he closed the door. What a bad situation, thought the younger while heading to his room.

*Minho's pov*

I wake up again sweating cold after yet another nightmare. That's why I'm not sleeping at all these days: every time I close my eyes his lifeless body pops up, preventing me from sleeping. I snort bored, lying down again, looking for a comfortable position to go back to sleep. I close my eyes and I shift to sleep again.
I wake up feeling a light breeze going thru my hair. I look around, finding myself in a vast field, with some big trees and sunflowers scattered here and there. Suddenly I see someone coming up to me. Understanding that I'm in a dream I wait and when the person is near enough, I notice is Jisung. But it's not the usual nightmare, it's more like a vision...I don't know why, but this time I don't feel fear or pain, it's just only a kind of sad peace.
My lover comes to me and takes me by hand, making us sit one near the other under a big oak. He smiles at me wistfully and tenderly caresses my cheek, wiping the tears that had formed at his sight. We stay in silence for a bit, quietly enjoying each other's presence. Suddenly he turns to me and says:

JS: "Minho, why have you reduced yourself like this?"
ME: "I don't know. It's just that without you, life doesn't have any sense"
JS: "Minho, you have to survive, for the others. For me"
ME: "I'm trying, but the only thing that I feel now is pain. A lot of pain" I say turning to him and then to the sunflowers moved by the wind in the distance
JS: "I know, but you have to overcome it, at least try"
ME: "I...I can't let you go Jisung, I can't" I say crying and letting out all the bad things that happened in the past weeks
JS: "Come here" he says hugging me
