“We also felt the same when we had met each other for the first time, when it was just us three…” Taeil starts as his eyes saddened. Dongyoung and Donghyuck rest their hands on his shoulders, assuring him to continue. “But there was always something, someone, which was missing from the picture.”

“We believed that we were just enough for each other. We were being the two reasons of happiness for each other.” Dongyoung joins.

“But soon, we realized that it wasn’t to be, neither. It always meant to be four. And it always meant to be you.” The sunkissed man finishes.

Countless emotions could be seen in Jaehyun’s eyes. His mouth was trying to release a million syllables of sweet nothings, but only the silence and fresh tears came as a response. The beings sitting on the ground chuckle at the softness of the latter. “When we were three, we had two reasons of happiness. When we got you, we got our third reason of happiness. And now that we all are together as one, it is our fourth reason of happiness.”

Jaehyun’s ears perked at those words by Taeil that he could not help but ask, “Are we really… Really together?”

“Isn’t that what lovers are supposed to do? To be with their loved ones?” Donghyuck sings.

And before Jaehyun could react, Dongyoung merges, “And we love you, Jaehyun.”

If it was possible to spread the wings and fly high in the sky, Jaehyun would definitely do because of the delight his heart was feeling, which was beyond even the definition of the said term.

“Yes. We love you Jaehyun. Our minds care about you. Our hearts beat for you and our soul yearns for you.” The three confess in unison.

Happiness, delight, pleasure or bless, what were even those terms? At this point, the only terms Jaehyun knew were Taeil, Dongyoung and Donghyuck. A sparkling giggle went on his lips as he finally responds. “I love you too. I mean, I love you three.” The three men smiled widely in joy as if the fairytale Jaehyun was telling just ended with a happy ending.

In their lovely moment, a strange question came to Jaehyun’s mind out of the blue. He wasn’t sure if he should interrogate or not… “But, is this real?” And the plain expression on the others’ was enough to make him smile in embarrassment. “It’s silly but, I don’t know why but it feels so magical. It feels like a dream. You feel like a dream.”

The three looked at each other for a moment with a knowing look before turning their attention back to the latter. “Maybe it’s true, that we live in your dreams. But it’s also true, that we are true.” Dongyoung answers.

“As long as you believe in us, we are real. Please don’t stop believing in us.” Donghyuck asks.

Jaehyun shakes his head. “I will never. But, what if…”

“Yes. You will probably forget about this, about us. But don’t worry, we got our own ways to get to you. Whenever you want or need us, we’d appear and you won’t even know. Only your heart will give you the signals of our connections. Because we all are connected by hearts.” Taeil explains as they all rest their hands on their hearts to feel it beating.

After a few moments of heartbeats and warm breaths, Jaehyun shimmers, “I love you. I you so much, Taeil, Dongyoung and Donghyuck.”

“He’s the loveliest.” Taeil comments.

“He sure is.” Dongyoung agrees.

“He’s always been.” Donghyuck clarifies.

Jaehyun again lowers his head shyly especially now that he that they actually complimenting him. “Well love, it’s going to be a long journey. You should now land into your dreamland so that we can appear there.” Taeil says as the three stood and sat next to Jaehyun on the seat. Jaehyun rests his head on Taeil’s shoulder while Donghyuck caresses his hand and Dongyoung starts singing a lullaby which was soon joined by Taeil and Donghyuck. The three were singing the sweetest lullaby Jaehyun had ever listened. They could become a professional band and Jaehyun would spend his entire property to purchase their albums.

Soon Jaehyun felt his eyes fluttering close. It was so soft, so comfortable and warm. This moment was the best. Taeil, Dongyoung and Donghyuck were really his home, his love, his happiness.

The first thing that could be heard was the siren of the train signaling that the vehicle had reached its destination. Jaehyun flutters his eyes open to find that the train was empty. He looked around to see if there was anybody else, or maybe some certain people whom he somehow couldn’t exactly remember, but feel… He looked out of the window and it was really early in the breezy morning. He sighs he gets back to get his belongings which were replaced by sunflowers, a moon figurine and… “Wait, is that a…” He said to himself as looked down and sees a bunny. “What are you doing there Dodo?” He honestly didn’t know as to when he named the animal.

“Seems like we had a stealer over the night here.” He honestly didn’t mind his things being replaced with his favorite things. So he just carried his newfound belongings and exits the train. The weather was extremely foggy out there that he had to blink multiple times to clear his vision. Though, he was still struggling with the weight he had in his hands. He wished if there was someone to offer him a hand of help.

“Hey buddy, need some help?”

Jaehyun looked the owner of the voice and was amused when realized that the man resembled the sunflowers he had in his hands. “Of course please.” He answers and the man came forward while holding a flowery smile onto his lips.

“New in town?” The man asks.

Jaehyun shakes his head. “Just back at home.”

“I see. But, doesn’t it already feel like home?” The latter wonders and Jaehyun chuckles.

“Now that you mentioned it, for some strange reasons, it sure does.” Yes, Jaehyun was really feeling the warmth of home and he didn’t even know as to why. The stranger nods gleefully before speaking again.

“Oh, where are my manners? The name’s Haechan.”
