·.·dream realm

Taemin rolled his eyes at Kai's glare. The man was obviously delusional for getting so annoyed and angry with Taemin over nothing.
Looking at the other man again, Taemin smiled brightly. "Hello Kyungsoo~" he chirped, glad that he had come out of hiding. Taemin noticed Kyungsoo's large, round eyes and was immediately intrigued.
He stayed quiet as the conversation seem to go on without him. He took a step back, leaning backwards with the wind supporting his body from falling. "I have to go." he smiled at both of them, yes both of them. "Kai," he nodded, "Kyungsoo," he nodded again. And with that he half walked and half floated away.

/ What is this crap? XD Sorry I just wanted to leave you two alone ;) /

@kai Kyungsoo nearly had to bite his tongue in order to keep back the soft remark that, 'Yes, he knew his name already,' when Kai or Jongin decided to introduce himself. Then he realized just how useless it was technically between all of them in the dream world and couldn't keep back another more natural (and messier in his mind) smile from appearing on his face, the small show he saw Kai bring out with that interesting and (secretly) quite attractive face amusing him lightly enough to have a small chuckle slip out from his uplifted lips that had his pearly teeth peeking out from behind.

"Mm... Oh...? Uh... Uhm... I guess..." Kyungsoo had no idea why he just started blurting out words again - the urge to simply facepalm was extremely strong at the moment. Could it be because this was technically the longest conversation he ever had with a human before and he just wanted to say something - anything intelligent not to make himself look like a fool? Well, mission failed already. Instantly, he had to suppress the urge to sigh pathetically at himself and bowed his head again, the gentle smile slipping off along with the level plane of his shoulders. Yep, he had just embarrassed himself by talking again. Again.

"Uh... I think maybe... I think it'll be best if I just... Go back now...? I'm sorry for disturbing you two..." Kyungsoo could barely get out the words he needed, all of a sudden feeling shy and unworthy of their attention. He didn't want to go - Kai was such an interesting person to even watch, but maybe Kyungsoo being here was only making things worse. When had it been the last time he had talked to anyone like this for anytime? Longer than he could remember and he had been exchanging pleasantries with such a human a few moments ago! Maybe he should leave now to stop embarrassing himself and so he could cherish what he had in these short moments. Yeah, that seemed like the best (and only) plan that Kyungsoo had at the moment as he began to inch around the boulder again, lips curling into another bashfully shy yet cute smile at the two of them...

Jongin was surprised to find someone so frightened around. He thought he the only one who was freaked out by the happenings around him. He was still bothered with Taemin around but this other male seemed harmless and hopefully not as annoying.
A half-smile played his lips as the male seemed to be smiling at him. A rush of awkward had fallen upon him. He felt like he had to keep being distant because Taemin was around, but he had no reason to act detached from this male.
How was it that the boy was so frightened? They'd done nothing to him, in fact Taemin seemed to warmly welcome him. "Kyungsoo?" he asked, making sure he heard right. "My name's Jongin, but you can call me Kai," he stated. He wasn't really sure as to why he was casually introducing himself to strangers. But it seemed alright to do for some reason. "It's uh.." Jongin paused, he semi rolled his eyes and lifted his brows in a twirl, "pleasure to meet ya." He had to pause considering the situation and the awkwardness wasn't exactly ideal for meeting new people.

@kai [Shhh... It's fine~ XD]

Kyungsoo was still more than afraid at the moment. But the curiosity inside of him, that overwhelming sense that he wanted to know things beyond this world was luring him out quicker than his more fearful nature could stop him. The smile was what caused for him to first look down and then slowly begin edging out behind that boulder that he had been hiding behind. Even the sound of that other dream creature's voice was like the bait, luring him out while the human was the hook. Kai, was it?

He was still afraid. Even when now part by part, his body was beginning to be seen behind the boulder, Kyungsoo seemed to still cling onto it with a cautious and wary nature that he had naturally inside, wide eyes blinking occasionally between Taemin and Kai. It was evident to see that both of them were taller than him - mostly everyone was taller than him actually.

But as his entire body came out form behind the former hiding spot, all Kyungsoo could do was look down again before glancing back up between them. Why was everyone so intimidating to him? An awkwardly cute smile that he attempted to pull up was directed mostly at Kai, though as Taemin had been the one to call him out, he was the one Kyungsoo said softly to, "Oh... Hello. Uhm..."

This was really awkward now. Awkward to the point that Kyungsoo just wanted to scurry away back into his small den, hide himself away. But it was too late actually, even as he could feel his back press against the comforting solidness of the boulder behind him. Flashing that same smile from before, all he could do now was blink his still widened eyes and call out quietly once more, glancing more towards Kai to try and appease him, "I'm... I'm Kyungsoo. Nice to meet you both..."

[ Holy shiz, you guys are fast. I can't even compete with your writing OnO ]

The voice was soft that his ears could hardly pick it up. "..Maybe?" he repeated what he heard. The voice couldn't possibly be responding to his early thought about dreams, could it? Without fulling turning away from the male, Taemin, he looked around to see if anyone was there. He saw nothing. Jongin started to think he was going crazy, everything was off since he woke up... or fell asleep? He saw Taemin staring at a boulder as if it had just spoken. Jongin's lips parted, ajar, he couldn't believe that now even inanimate objects were speaking. He heard mumbling though he couldn't really make it out. Taemin got his attention again by yelling all of a sudden. Jongin realized that there was someone behind the rock. He found Taemin staring at him and he glared back.

Taemin shook his head in response to the man. He must be too arrogant to function. He didn't want to deal with such negative energy, but because Kai was the only human around right now, Taemin had nothing better to do than be in his presence. He fingers played with the wind again, causing the wing to twirl around him. Maybe if Kai payed more attention he'd realize that Taemin had powers which could only mean that he had entered the dream realm. Another voice was heard in the quiet of their growing hatred. Taemin tilted his head and looked towards the direction of the man who seemed to be hiding. Taemin wouldn't have been able to sense him if weren't for the wind. It didn't look like the man was interested in him either, but he and Taemin were both intrigued by the human Kai. Taemin, being the kind boy he is, decided to pull him out and get him to talk to the human. "You can come on out," Taemin called, his voice was soft but loud enough to be heard properly. He smiled brightly to reassure him. But when his eyes landed on Kai they became cold again.

@kai "Maybe... Maybe if..."

Kyungsoo couldn't even finish the statement that he wanted to say. He was so afraid. Always afraid, always scared of everything around him. But at the same time, he was intrigued, curious as always. But just thinking of what he had blurted out right after the human had spoken, all he could feel now was horror at himself and a sense of rightful shame that had the spirit hiding back again behind the boulder that he had been peering curiously with his signature wide eyes just earlier.

Why did he even say anything? Kyungsoo usually never said anything. Not even to the other dream creatures and especially not to a random human that looked like he wanted to rip the place apart with frustration. But why had he? Because this certain human perked his curiosity more than anyone else had? Because he was so different from most of the humans who came here that it even lured the usually silently shy Kyungsoo to say something?

Maybe. Maybe that was it. But now humiliating himself and berating himself on the inside, all Kyungsoo could do was sink a bit lower behind that boulder and wish that he never said anything. Wide eyes continued to peer over the edge though, downcast now as he mumbled again, "Sorry... I'm sorry..."

"Tch!" Jongin was angered by the male taunting him. It wouldn't be percieved as taunting by most people, but Jongin didn't like people that seemed overly friendly all of sudden. He wished the male would leave him alone. But when he looked to the ground when the male looked alarmed, he saw the vine coming up. His eyes widened, he was bewildered how any of this could be happening to him. "I must be sleeping," he mumbled. But that didn't make sense, he never dreamed or at least he thought he didn't. He growled, trying to ignore the male who called himself Taemin. It didn't look like the two of them were going to get along very well.
[ Sorry ;A; I take forever and make short replies OTL ]

@kai Taemin sighed. The man remembered nothing from his dreams. Every night they started over. Taemin had to find a way to quickly calm the man or he'd hurt himself. Well he'd try to hurt Taemin but that was unlikely considering Taemin had powers and Kai was only a human who didn't know how to use his mind while asleep. Taemin didn't get any much closer to Kai. "Instead of worrying who I am, I'd worry about what you're thinking," Taemin looked to the ground that was starting to sprout some sort of vine. It didn't look to dangerous so he ignored it, but if Kai continued to think of dangerous vines than danger would probably come. "Call me Taemin!" he exclaimed. He didn't like the tone Kai took with him. Taemin didn't feel obligated to answer him when he was trying to be controlling, it was bad enough that Taemin was only a figure in the imagination of humans.

@taemin Jongin took a step back when the male mentioned his name. *How does he know my name?!* His pupils became smaller as the male came closer. "Don't come any closer!" he growled. The male that stood before him seemed harmless, calm and soothing, but that made Jongin even more nervous. Everything was too perfect. Next thing he knew there was going to be vines shooting up from the ground and vampires out his blood. "W-Who are you?" Jongin stumbled on his words making his anger more evident. His cool act was fading as the male started to derail him. To prove he was no afraid he took a step forward, holding his head high. He wanted the male to think he was dealing with someone who could annihilate him. "How do you know my name?" his voice was much calmer this time, the tone he took made his words sound more like an order than a question.

@kai As his fingers lingered on his cheek, he felt for a cut from the wind. None. He started to twirl lightly in the wind. It helped him by englulfing his body and moving the same direction as him. He heard a voice. It was close. Taemin stopped twirling and turned towards the voice. A young man stared at him and he stared back. Taemin smiled softly. He was glad a human had fallen asleep and chosen him to dream of. This human could make him disappear if he wanted to, but Taemin knew by the fear he smelt that this human did not how to control his dreams yet. "What is it Kai?" Taemin approached the man casually. The wind slowed to a soft breeze.

@taemin Jongin drifted into sleep. Fear swept over him, he shivered. He saw nothing but dark nothingness. A breeze blew by and his eyes flickered open. Jongin was no longer in his apartment, no longer in his room, no longer in his bed; he was somewhere beyond life. The wind felt stronger and he saw a figure standing before him; a male. This male was slender, his eyes were sad as night. The male seemed unaffected by the wind, in fact he seemed to be part of it in his flowing movements.
Jongin's voice cracked as he spoke out to the male "Excuse me?" a rush of embarrassment filled him causing his ears to redden, he didn't like showing fear but he had no idea where he was or what was happening.

Taemin caressed the wind. He felt his body move with it. His eyes dropped downward like he was sad. He was a boy in need of a friend. But friends were hard to come by here. He touched the softness of his cheek, he felt the wind brush up his hair. It was windy. Why? Taemin was a creature who held the power of wind, not by choice but by however created him. He was but a dream. Maybe even a nightmare. It was beyond his control. Although at times it seemed like a creature like himself controlled everything, it was really the humans who had all the power, they just hadn't realized it yet.
