In the soft glow of their bedroom, Seungcheol, the formidable mafia leader, was jolted awake by his husband Jeonghan's distressed cries.
His nightmares had disrupted the calm of their luxurious estate, and he was trembling in fear, yet again every night, every single night.
A dream that keeps coming back, a cycle that never ends.
Seungcheol was used to it. He actually blamed himself for it. He gently shook him awake, his voice soothing whispering sweet nothing to him.
"Hannie wakes up, it's just a dream."
Seungcheol's head was filled with guilt beating up himself for what Jeonghan's going through. As Jeonghan woke up his eyes were filled with terror.
"It felt so real. It's as if was in that place again.."
Seungcheol wrapped him in his arms, his presence is a reassuring anchor.
"Nothing can harm you here. We're together, and that's what matters."
hearing the commotion Dino, their son, appeared in their doorway, his concern and fear evident.
"Daddy is Papa okay? "
Seungcheol made his son come over to their bed. His touch was tender as he answered the little one's question.
"Yes buddy! Your Papa is okay, just hug him and he'll be fine I promise."
He did what his father just said. He hugs Him and kisses his forehead. His Papa visibly calmed down. His arms snake in their son's body and hug him for dear life.
With Seungcheol's comforting words and Dino's hug, Jeonghan began to relax, the nightmare fading into the safety of their shared love.
As the night continued, the little family found peace in their unity, knowing they were secure in each other's arms.
