~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking side by side, hand in hand you and your boyfriend got closer to the dark house as you started clutching the flashlight in your other hand with each step you took. This was such a bad idea.Â
Why did you say yes to this?Â
Why did Beomgyu say yes to this?Â
There must be something seriously wrong with both of you. Going to the supposedly haunted house on your favourite holiday might just be the stupidest idea you agreed to.Â
âReady to go in?â Beomgyu asked you as you two stepped up to the front door of the house.
âSure, but you know we could just not.â You tried reasoning, âWe donât have to.â
He hummed, âWe kind of do. Yeonjun dared us.â You immediately rolled your eyes at that statement. Just because that clown dared you to do something doesnât mean you have to actually do it. You were never playing Truth or Dare with him again.
âUgh letâs just get this over with.â You pointed the flashlight at the door, grimacing at the old wood that was rotting away. Your boyfriend however walked up to the door and opened it, albeit with a little more force, and suddenly you were in.
The inside of the room looked like any other haunted house you saw in horror movies. Dusty, dark and ominous. There was old furniture covered in white sheets, but some uncovered and as you stopped at a couch the first thing you thought of was that your aunt has a couch like this, both were very unattractive.
âHey baby come check this out!â You jogged to where Beomgyu was standing holding a frame with an old looking photo inside it. It was a picture of the previous owners, or so you suspected, but your eyes caught something in the corner. âLook, you see that in the corner?â
You nodded, âI was actually just looking at that,â you took the photo from his hands, Beomgyu walking away from you to another room of the house, âWhat even is that?â You questioned as you moved the picture up and down, a face showing in the corner whenever you moved it up. âCreepy.â You said putting the frame back down. Turning around your eyes followed the flashlight as you moved it around the hall in search of your boyfriend.Â
âBeom? Babe?â Your feet seemed to carry you on their own to the direction where you last saw your boyfriend go as the floor creaked under them. Suddenly you turned towards the grand staircase after hearing a thump over there. You tried squinting your eyes to see better while you shined your light towards it. âHello? Anyone there?â
You now understood the characters in horror movies more when you yourself started walking towards the sound to investigate it. A shiver ran down your spine at the gust of wind that seemed to pass you, carrying your hair with it, yet you saw no open windows anywhere. âBeom if this is you it is not fucking funny!â
A scream fell past your lips at the voice whispering in your ear, then another scream but this time it was not one from you. You ran to the source of the scream you recognised as Beomgyuâs, getting into the room you desperately called his name, shining the light around the room in search of him. Walking over to what seemed like a cabinet you jumped with yet another scream as your boyfriend jumped out yelling, âBOO!â
You put your arm on your heart to steady itâs fast beating as your ass of a boyfriend laughed at your fear stricken face. âYou complete idiot,â you hit his shoulder with the flashlight, âYou could have given me a heart attack. You know how worried I got when I heard you scream?â
You were pulled into his arms, relaxing when you felt the warmth from him, âIâm sorry babygirl, but that was part of the bet.â
âUgh Iâm killing Yeonjun when we get back to the dorm.â Putting your head on his shoulder you started breathing normally again, scratching your arms. Taking your hand in his, he led the two of you out of the house and back to the dorm.
 âSo that thump on the stairs and the voice was you?â You questioned after a few minutes of silent walking.
He looked at you quizzically, âWhat are you talking about?âÂ
You rolled your eyes at him, âThe thump and voice saying âcarefulâ, that was you right?â
He stared blankly at you, âBabe I waited in that room the entire time, I didnât even walk out until you came in.â
You thought it through, if it wasn't you and it wasnât Beom, then either you experienced a real paranormal activity or heâs teasing you to scare you more. Deciding on the latter option as the correct one you simply laughed and bumped his shoulder with yours.Â
The 25 minute walk passed quickly and soon you were back in the safety and warmth of TXT's dorm. After punching Yeonjun in both his shoulders, you decided to make some hot cocoa for yourself. Grabbing all the ingredients around the kitchen, and the mug from the cupboard, you started making the cocoa. Placing the mug on the counter you went on to heat up the milk.Â
Humming you waited for the milk to warm up so you could put the cocoa powder in, except you were cut off from the process by a loud bang which pulled a surprised little scream out of you. Looking towards the source of the bang you found the mug broken on the floor. Many footsteps came towards the direction of the kitchen to see what happened.
"(y/n) everything okay in here?" Soobin's voice spoke first while the rest looked at the mess in front of them. In an instant Beomgyu was next to you and helping you pick up the broken pieces.
You looked at Soobin giving him a short nod, "Yeah, I must've put the mug too close to the edge and it fell off." Throwing away the pieces you pick up another mug, this time keeping a hold on the handle. "Sorry for the mug everyone," you gave them a sheepish smile, scratching your arm.
"It's alright Noona, we have more mugs." Kai waved it off.
"Kai how many times have I told you that you don't have to call me that?"
"Enough for me to remember, but ignore." He laughed, walking to the living room with the others to continue watching the movie.
You felt a hand on your waist, turning to look towards the person you were met with Beomgyu's smile, "Are you sure you're okay?"Â
You gave him a smile of your own while nodding your head and a kiss on the cheek for good measures. The night continued on with you watching horror movies, you all finished the movies around midnight, opting on going to sleep as they had a packed schedule tomorrow, even if you tried convincing them they should go earlier.Â
You couldâve sworn the dreams you had were placed there to mess with you even more than you already had been through the night. Images of dark hallways that spun in circles, shadows following you and screams emanating from the end of the hallways were swimming in your dreams, pulling you from sleep.Â
Opening your eyes after not being able to fall asleep again for who knows how many minutes you slipped from your boyfriendâs arms, scratching your own and looking at his sleeping, peaceful form one more as you left the room to not wake him or any of the members up. Deciding to get a water bottle and turn on the TV to watch something, you got comfortable on the couch, watching until you got tired enough to fall asleep again.
As it seems God wasnât on your side as you couldnât even close your eyes without remembering your dream, flashes of the shadows and various other terrifying faces screaming in your face flashed through your eyes, ringing deep in your ears. You dropped the water bottle as you covered your ears in an attempt to drown them out, eyes tearing when none of it stopped, only getting louder. The ringing in your ears was too much, the high pitched screams that made your skin crawl pulled a choked sob from your throat.
As fast as it came it disappeared, leaving you shaking on the couch expecting the worst, expecting something to happen again but nothing did until you uncovered your ears, seeing red on your palms. With a shaking hand you brought it to your ears, feeling a wet spot and when you looked at your fingers you confirmed what you thought.
Rushing to the bathroom you grabbed a clean cloth, soaking it in water as you cleaned the blood that was dripping from your ears. Tears build up in your eyes once again, falling freely down your cheeks as you cried, in confusion, in fear.
Cleaning your ears and making sure they werenât bleeding anymore you washed your face from tears and to wake you up more, there was no way you could sleep after what just happened and you werenât even going to try. Drying your face with a towel you looked at yourself in the mirror only to see another face behind you.
Dark bangs covered its eyes but not enough to not see them, it didnât even have any eyes! Only holed out sockets that were spilling a dark crimson blood from them, its mouth was pulled into a sinister smile showing off the razor sharp teeth that were hiding beneath.
âI told you to be careful, didnât I?â Its neck cracked painfully to the side, a bone sticking from it. You couldnât move, couldnât scream, couldnât do anything except watch this thing in the mirror. Gathering some courage you glanced behind you only to be met with an empty space where the thing should have been standing. Confused you turned back to the mirror only to see the creature still standing there, still giving you the same sinister smile.Â
It started stalking towards you, you desperately looking behind yourself to catch it and back to the mirror as it was moving in closer. A hand was stretched out to you, boney long fingers with sharp nails coming through the mirror to scratch at your cheek.
âStupid child, you should have never went into the house.â The voice terrified you beyond anything you've seen in horror movies, it opened its mouth, skin around it stretching and breaking until it was opened as large as your head. In one swift motion it clasped its teeth around your head as a scream finally reached from somewhere within you.
The guys woke up when they heard your screams, Beomgyu jumping from his bed to hurry to where you were and they found you on the floor of the bathroom, screaming, crying and thrashing around. Beomgyu was by your side trying to get you to calm down but you wouldnât let him touch you, screaming whenever you felt a hand on your body. He watched with a heavy heart as you were forced to calm down on your own without being able to hold you close and console you himself.
âBaby are you okay?â Beomgyu asked worriedly.
You looked dead in his eyes before saying, âThere was something in the mirror.â A chill went through all five boys, your voice so low and groggy from crying yet so serious at the same time.
Yeonjunâs voice caught your attention as you slowly moved your gaze to his, âWhat do you mean something was in the mirror? What was?â
You hang your head, your body starting to shake once again. All of them thought you started crying again, until they heard a low laughter coming from you.
Beomgyu grabbed you by your shoulders, â(y/n) baby are you okay?â But the laughter only grew louder.
âStupid humans,â you jerked your head to look at them, dark crimson blood oozing from your eyes and a menacing smile on your lips, âsheâs mine now.â
âWh-what are you? Leave her alone!â Beom was screaming, tears falling from his eyes. He was shaking the thingâs shoulders because he refused to believe that was still his sweet girlfriend.
âYou should watch what house youâre entering next time, Choi Beomgyu.â
