That Nightmare
ᴛʰᴀᵗ ɴⁱɢʰᴛᵐᴀʳᴇ 01
𝓔𝓶𝓶𝓪
Oh man, why the professors have to give us so many homework 😫
𝓔𝓶𝓶𝓪
I wanted to spend the weekend shopping not answering questions 😫
Alvina « FL »
I need to catch up on my TV shows too 😗
We talked about our plans for the weekend until we reached the intersection
𝓔𝓶𝓶𝓪
Well, I'm going this way
Alvina « FL »
Alright! see you
I waved goodbye as Enma crosses the intersection. We've been friends since the first day of University.
After graduating from high school most of my old buddies moved far away for University
We talk online but...... It makes me feel lonely sometimes
I walked towards home thinking back to my childhood
I can't remember any of them
All I get is the feeling that something is missing. I can't recall anything from back then
I don't have any memories from my childhood. Did I have friends? Did I have hobbies? Did I get a bunch of toys like every other kid?
Sometimes I find myself thinking about these and feel an indescribable emptiness
[Mom and Dad both said at the same time]
My parents greeted me. Their voices are coming from different locations
Alvina « FL »
Something smells good
My Dad sits down on the couch
𝓓𝓪𝓭
Your Mom is making curry
My mom pokes her head out from the kitchen, holding her ladle up
𝓜𝓸𝓶
I filled up the bathtub for you so get cleaned up before dinner
I headed to my room but the sent of curry is making me hungry
Yes, I'm empty from time to time
Whenever I see my parents...
[Sound came from downstairs]
Alvina « FL »
Coming.....!
My parents went to bed early and I was at the living room
I looked at the clock to see the time.... it was 9:34 pm
Alvina « FL »
Oh it's almost time
I lightly slapped my face with both hands to keep myself awake
Alvina « FL »
You can't fall asleep now Alvina
Alvina « FL »
You've been waiting for a whole entire week for this new episode
I climbed onto the couch, snuggling myself in the corner as I watched the TV commercials run
Slowly I felt my eyelids are getting heavy
I blinked my eyes hard and open them as wide as I can
I need to know what's gonna happen next in the drama
But the television started to distort the images askew on the screen
Out of nowhere the ringing of bells seems to be an echo in my ears
Alvina « FL »
What's that sound?
My vision goes hazy and all I could see was bright light
What is this? I don't wanna fall asleep yet
Despite my efforts to fight for it, I felt myself gradually dozing off
And before I knew that I was fast asleep
I opened my eyes and found myself surrounded by darkness
Alvina « FL »
What just happened?
My breath catches in my throat and an uneasy feeling begins bubbling in my stomach
Taking deep breaths, it takes every bit of my willpower to keep myself from panicking
After a while, my eyes adjusted to the darkness
Alvina « FL »
Where the heck am I?
I don't know why but somehow the room feels familiar
Alvina « FL »
I fell asleep in the living room didn't I?
I tried to move my body to see other sides of the room
My eyes widened by looking at the sight in front of me
I felt like my heart almost fell out of my chest
In the dark I saw a figure of a young man laying down next to me
What in the world.......????!!!!

ᴛʰᴀᵗ ɴⁱɢʰᴛᵐᴀʳᴇ 02
The young man is sleeping peacefully
I tried to call him out but he didn't respond
Well that didn't work I think I should leave him alone
I tried to get up but I heard a sound
His eyelids flutter for a moment and he tried to get up
Alvina « FL »
Um....do you know where are we? I suddenly woke up in this place and.....
The young man slowly looks up at me
NOTE: Ignore the mask and hair colour
His eyes! one is blue and the other is red. Captivated by his mystical appearance, I inadvertently let out a small gasp
NOTE: Sorry peeps couldn't find a suitable pic 👀
Alvina « FL »
Your eyes are so beautiful!
The young man immediately covered his face with his hands
Alvina « FL »
Oh.... I'm sorry
Did I say something which offended him?
I tried to touch him but he turned away
Zain
MAN YOU ARE SO DAMN LOUD!
I looked above my shoulder.... there was another person looking down at me
Lay
Why the hell you're being noisy for huh....?
Out of the blue a very loud yawn echoed in the room
In the corner, someone stretched up with his mouth wide open
Mikey
What's the time now?
Mikey
Hmmm looks like it's still dark
Mikey
Can we go back to sleep
Mikey
Who are you people?!
A young woman freaks out as the commotion makes her awake
All taken to one strange place!
Something feels really off about this
Lay
I think we're all in the same boat here
𝓧𝓲𝓪
I can't be here I have a date tomorrow!
The guy whom I said looks scary started to take charge of the situation
I stand up to get a good look at him but he walked towards the center
Lay
Does anyone have any idea where we are right now?
Mikey
Jeez why are you starting with that?
Mikey
Shouldn't we get to know each other first?
The young man smiles at each of us
That's nice he's trying to make everyone feel at ease
Eventually, the tension of the room subsides
Everybody just looked at him without a word
Mikey
Oh, nice to meet you Alvina
𝓧𝓲𝓪
Well then it's my turn now
𝓧𝓲𝓪
I'm a fashion designing student and I have a really cool boyfriend
𝓧𝓲𝓪
Ahh, I'm missing him now
There is something childlike about Xia's charm
I was expecting more dramatic introduction to be honest
He's pretty bossy but not talkative
Lay must have caught me starring at him because he turned to face me
Lay
The sooner you talk the faster we can start to plan how to get outta here
I look over my shoulder to see the quiet young man with heterochromia, standing up
He slowly lets his hands fall from his face revealing the shine in his eyes
I meant what I said his eyes they are just way too beautiful
Something about his name strikes a chord within me
He glanced at me, his red eye glimmering at me from behind his bangs
There is something awfully familiar about that red eye of his
I tried to reach back into memories but I have no recollection of ever meeting him
Is it just my imagination
Mikey
So... now that we know each other isn't it a bit less scary?
[Mikey chuckled and I smiled]
The atmosphere was really tensed earlier
I'm glad someone like Mikey is here to lighten up the moon
Lay
Absolutely, now that we've introduced ourselves let's try to figure out where are we and why
Lay
Everyone, gather in a round position
We all huddled to sit in a circle

ᴛʰᴀᵗ ɴⁱɢʰᴛᵐᴀʳᴇ 03
Lay
Has anyone ever been here before?
My eyes were scanning the room from one corner to another
It's normal aside from the fact that it's dark and a blood moon is illuminating us albeit dimly
Nothing seems too out of the ordinary but.....I've got this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach
𝓧𝓲𝓪
Me neither, this place is too creepy for my tastes
Lay turns to Likhon and the latter shakes his head.... then he looked at me
Alvina « FL »
Not really but.....
Alvina « FL »
I just have a feeling. I guess that's not very important information is it?
As I expected Lay didn't respond
Lay
Can you please tell me the last thing you did before coming here?
𝓧𝓲𝓪
I was snuggling with my boyfriend 😂
𝓧𝓲𝓪
It was really warm and cozy ☺
[She cupped her chin, she was blushing]
𝓧𝓲𝓪
Hehe! this is so embarrassing
𝓧𝓲𝓪
We were in the couch and....
Mikey
I remember browsing the Internet while getting ready to sleep
Alvina « FL »
Yeah that sounds pretty normal
My night was the same way. I was determined to watch that TV show but I felt drowsy
Alvina « FL »
I was sitting on the couch waiting for the latest episode of my favourite TV series
Alvina « FL »
It aires at 10 pm which is usually past my bed time
[I nodded and Lay rested his index finger under his nose in thoughts]
Mikey
Hmmm, now that you mentioned it, it was around the same time for me too
Zain
Something was ringing
Zain who's been quiet the whole time speaks up
Alvina « FL »
Yes! I felt that too!
Mikey
Right, it was a bit painful to be honest
𝓧𝓲𝓪
Umm... I don't really remember but maybe
𝓧𝓲𝓪
As I said, I was sitting with my boyfriend
Lay
ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND!!!
[Xia pouts glaring daggers at Lay]
Haha she does seem pretty obsessed with her boyfriend
Mikey
You simply don't know the sensibilities of a woman in love Lay 😂
Lay
I don't need to know it's not relevant here!
Then he looked at me and made a face teasingly mocking Lay
I almost laughed but I bit my lower lip to hold it back
Lay and Mikey seems like they know each other pretty well, either that or Mikey teases everybody
Lay purses his lips together as he leans back
He folds his arms across his chest
Lay
Ok so we've pinpointed 3 things about this situation
Lay lowers his arms letting his hands drop over his shines
Lay
First, none of us has been here before
Lay
Second, we all felt sleepy at around ten at night
Lay
Thirdly, we all experienced tinnitus
Zain
It's a medical term of the ringing we hear in our ears
Mikey
Oh!! that sounds smart 😂
I curiously turn to look at Lay
Alvina « FL »
I'm kinda impressed
Alvina « FL »
Are you a doctor Lay?
Lay
Not exactly I'm still a med student
Out of nowhere Mikey suddenly slaps Lay's leg
Mikey
What about you? what were you doing?😏
[In annoyance, Lay jerked his long legs back]
Mikey
What? That's boring😒
Mikey
Who studies on a Friday night?
The atmosphere in the room feels a lot less uptight with these two guys around. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing
𝓧𝓲𝓪
Friday nights are supposed to be for fun
Mikey
Partying with friends drinking booze getting wasted 😂
The two of them shared a high five which made me smile
At least we are all getting along
Lay
If you have time for idle chatter then you also have time to give insight about this situation
I looked at others but they seem to be out of ideas
Alvina « FL »
Guys, Listen!
Alvina « FL »
We came here at a certain time right?
All of them turn to me expectantly
Alvina « FL »
But there aren't many clocks here
Alvina « FL »
After we sat down I looked around that's what I noticed
Their eyes scanned the whole room
Mikey
I've been wondering what time it was but I always forget to ask
Zain's face lights up in the dark as if he's experiencing a moment of clarity
Zain
Does anyone have a watch?
Lay immediately puts his hand forward
We all looked at each other thinking about the same thing
Lay
Right let's take a look
Alvina « FL »
Time stopped at ten...?
Alvina « FL »
Oh no, now we don't have a sense of time
It feels as if our last thread of hope has been cut
