It was the middle of the night and things were going just fine. This was when Yoongi liked to be outside. He could stretch his legs and sometimes leave to get a drink or maybe attend a party that would supply a fix. Recently, though, his nights weren’t just used for his time outside his own room. No, he used his time to turn furniture around, rearrange papers and drop things loudly. He played the role of a ghost as though it was the most natural thing he could think of to do. A ghost was something worth being afraid of, and so was he. A normal person might not recognize that he was something to be feared, but he would make sure that they got the message. They needed to stay away or they would end up suffering…
So he worked quietly. His head was pounding for no reason and his body felt heavy. He wondered when he had last slept for a good amount of time. It certainly wasn't earlier in this day. There had been too many odd things manifesting in the corners of his eyes and speaking in hushed tones about life and death and whatever other stupid things they liked. The smog was probably trying to to tell him something. It would force its way out soon if he wasn’t careful… Not that he knew how to stop it. He didn’t even know if the recent influx in hallucinations was a sign that the smog was agitated or not. It bothered him just how alive he allowed that stupid green gas to feel. He didn’t want it to feel alive. It was bad enough when he thought of it as inanimate. If it could actually think then he felt even weaker.
He shook his head just a little; making sure to look around to see if any hallucinations had decided to show up. There was nothing, and that was something he was glad for. It was dark enough in these halls that he carried a flashlight to make himself feel like it was less likely for him to start seeing monsters in the corners, but he wasn’t actually sure how well that worked. He quietly began to adjust the curtains. He really didn’t want to think about the chance of his fears creeping up. It was far better to just… Continue the whole haunted idea and get out of the hall quickly. He wouldn’t go out tonight. His head felt too fuzzy. Maybe with the lack of hallucinating at the moment he would actually get a chance to sleep.
The sound of footsteps was something he ignored at first. They sounded vaguely human, but the shuffle to them made him assume that they were probably just an auditory hallucination. He would need to go back to his room before too long if more were to come. He didn’t mind making some noise, but if he was going to be tortured with images he would rather the screaming come from inside his room. It stood less a chance of waking people up from inside there. He pulled out a sheet of paper and a knife as he turned toward the sound. He didn’t look up for a moment, but when he did his eyes became wide with shock.
He didn’t expect to see anyone; hallucination or real, at least not yet. His eyes stayed wide as he stared at the dark figure poised in the middle off the hall. The image wasn’t something he would call frightening, not compared to what he had seen, but it wasn’t something normal either. Another man, tall, dressed in black with white hair. He didn’t know him, that much he could say. He slowly began to slip the knife back in his pocket as he continued to stare. Surely this was just another hallucination. He wasn’t real enough. There was no reason for someone else to be out at this time… But he couldn’t be sure.
“You’re new... You look good...” His voice sounded as tired as he felt. “A lot better than some of the others...” Part of him hoped this hallucination wouldn’t be like the others. Maybe this one would not scream and tear itself apart. His body felt oddly heavy and his mind got fuzzier. He wrote it off as being tired, but none of the tired explained his desire to grab a drink.
He stared, eyes unfocused, at his new hallucination. He didn’t have the energy to run. If this hallucination wanted to make him cry, it would.
