The Game Of Death (Taekook)
Chapter 1
The clock marked three in the morning when they hardly noticed.
A group of friends sat in a circle, chatting and gossiping drunkenly, as they had decided to have a sleepover to say goodbye to one of the girls who made up the group of seven people.
Ryujin
Come on, Yoongi, it's your turn to meet the challenge!
It was an early morning as quiet as the others, with the seven boys gathered in Jungkook's room in his own house.
They did nothing but challenge each other to enjoy the little that was left of the morning. After all, they had to celebrate until the last to say goodbye to Ryujin, since the girl would go on an exchange the next day in the afternoon far from her country.
Six of them had known each other since childhood, although Chanmi joined the group about two years ago, fitting in at first
Yoongi
Fck you. I won't kiss anyone this time.
Yoongi replies, scratching the back of his neck as he downs a shot of tequila.
Yoongi
I'm very drunk, but I know what I'm doing. And no, I'm not kissing anyone this time.
The girls sighed, continuing to read that challenge guide that Yerim always carried to spend the nights like this.
Yerim
Let's do the number fifteen, it says that we inflate balloons to sit on it and blow it up, the last one to blow it up sucks a lemon. Then cheer up?
Everyone nods to what the female said, each one taking a balloon to start inflating it.
Hoseok
Hey, Jungkook, aren't you going to play?
Jungkook shakes his head slowly, his brown curls moving in time.
Chanmi
Come on, let's have some fun, mh.
Jungkook
Nuh. You know I panic when those things explode.
Mingyu
Give him the spicy cookies!
Jungkook raises his eyebrows, preferring to take the balloon and start blowing it up at the same time as the others.
Because yes, there were spicy cookies. Chanmi together with Yerim had made them and had strained them among so many sweets, just to feed them to some of them who didn't want to have fun.
The game starts early, with Yoongi being the first winner when his balloon is instantly popped. He is also followed by the three girls present and Mingyu, Jungkook being the one who had lost.
Mingyu
So much àss and it didn't do you any good, Jeon.
Mingyu says playfully, complaining when Jungkook punches his chest.
Yerim
Yah, yah. Anyway, give Jungkook the challenge.
Yerim dug through his list for a while, smiling when he got something interesting to look at.
Hoseok, Yoongi's boyfriend, was the one who chose him to help the girls, of course, a while before he had researched about Halloween challenges, after all they were on the best date, starting in October.
Hoseok
Jungkook, you must use your own cell phone to dial your own number.
Hoseok tells him, handing the list to Yoongi when he asks for it to see what challenges there were.
Jungkook looks at them in disbelief.
Jungkook
Wasn't that nonsense? 🤨
Jungkook
Hyung, that sounds stupid, better give me another challenge.
Ryujin shakes his head, just as he moves his index finger.
Ryujin
Is not stupid. They say that sometimes someone can answer, go. Try it, Jungkook!
jungkook had no other choice, so he put his phone on speaker when he finished dialing his own number.
The line was lost, telling him that the number he dialed was not available.
Jungkook
See? It's a game to scare kids, don't pee your pants for it. 🙄
The boys sigh, a little disappointed by that.
Jungkook
Now, let's go to sleep because I can't stand having my skinny àss against the floor all day.
Ryujin
You can try without the speaker, maybe that will work...
Jungkook stops at Ryujin's murmur, turning back around.
Mingyu
Guys, let's go to sleep. Jungkook is right, having your àss squashed all day without having is not good.
Mingyu says about to get up, being stopped by Yoongi.
Jungkook
I'm going to do it, nothing bad is going to happen to me anyway.
Everyone focuses on Jungkook as they see him turn his phone back on to dial the number, placing it against his ear as he bites his lower lip impatiently.
No one wants to miss what can happen. Jungkook just frowns when- -
His hairs stand on end when he listens, whimpering and feeling the sweat run down his forehead. The group of friends looks carefully, still not knowing what has happened, apart from Jungkook, of course.
Someone
You want to play with me?
The thick and delirious voice continues while Jungkook moves the phone away to see better and notice that, in fact, someone has answered his own phone number.
Someone
Don't hang up, I have time to playing with someone 😏
Even though it sounded cute, Jungkook knows it was more of a threatening tone.
Someone
Mh, I love when my players speak with fear being so palpable in their words. I'll say it again, puppy, do you want to play a game with me? 😏
Jungkook hangs up the call, tossing his phone aside and almost flying out of his room.
Chapter 2
The first thing Jungkook sees when he gets up is in front of his bed, because at night he felt something strange watching him through the blanket of darkness. As usual, he picks up his phone with the help of his right hand to check the time.
There's not much to see on his phone, just a message from his mom letting him know she won't be back for two weeks. And it seems strange to him, because he had promised to return in two days.
Then gets up and immediately takes a shower, quickly changing into simple jeans and a black sweatshirt that is a bit too big for him, pulling his hood up as he notices how awful his hair had dawned today, messier than ever.
Yoongi
Good morning, Jungkook
Yoongi is in front of him, with three plates of pancakes on the table.
Yoongi
The girls left an hour ago. Mh, Mingyu left a while ago and Hoseok is in the bathroom. So it'll just be the three of us for today.
Yoongi
Don't worry, you know that girls get up early all the time and Mingyu doesn't care about that. Don't worry, besides, what happened last night?
Jungkook
Uhm, well, after that challenge I don't remember much, but I know you went to sleep
Yoongi
Did something happened?
Jungkook denies and continue to stirring the milk-soaked cereal.
Jungkook
Nothing, I was just tired, I asked them to sleep and that...
Suddenly, Jungkook remember that someone had attended his call and had made him an invitation to "play".
Well Jungkook was not a big believer in those things, but someone answering his own number when dialing was very worrying and strange than usual.
The truth is that he was scared, but for a moment he thought that perhaps he had dialed a different digit and that was why someone had answered, but he checked his records and noticed that it was really his number.
Just thinking about it made his body goosebumps.
A while later Hoseok came out of the bathroom and said goodbye at the end of breakfast, excusing himself that Yoongi's mother was not going to accept that they would arrive later, so the couple left as soon as possible, leaving Jungkook in completely alone, in his own home.It was boring being alone, even more so when it was so cold and the rain threatened to fall.
The coconut-haired man did nothing but get ahead of his pending university assignments while listening to music by connecting his phone to the speakers that Yugyeom had given him on his nineteenth birthday.
He hums to the rhythm of the music, ending up finishing the first essay of three long pages. Although there is something that distracts him at the moment.
He raises his eyebrows, disconnecting the cable that connects his cell phone to the speakers to answer immediately, without even bothering to see the sender of the call.
Jungkook replies, biting the pencil he holds between his fingers.
The line is silent, without any sound being heard.
Jungkook
Hello? There is someone there?
He gets no answer, so he moves the phone away to see the 'unknown number' written on it.
Jungkook
If this is a joke, please, it's not funny. 💢
Nothing, no one responds to his speaking.
Jungkook
Guys, if this is you, please stop everything, you know I don't like jokes and--
Someone
The night is dressed in black, the time is drawing near~
The same voice from the early morning is heard, humming on the other side of the telephone line.
Someone
If you're afraid and feel terrified, you're going to have to put up with it...
Jungkook body trembles involuntarily, startling at the mysterious deep voice that sounds against his ears. It sends a shiver down the length of his spine, raising the hairs on his body and making his eyes widen.
Jungkook hangs up the call, putting his phone aside and hoping they don't call him again.
Chapter 3
It is very normal for people to make these kinds of jokes these days, but knowing that it is the same guy who answered the call from his own number terrifies him.
Jungkook heads back to his studies, preferring to study than keep an eye on other irrelevant things.
Jungkook look at the sender, noticing that, again, it's that unknown number.
It causes the call to be lost to no avail as his phone keeps ringing over and over again
he's about to pull his hair out, until the calls stop and a notification sounds letting his know he has a new message.
Jungkook just opens that notification, finding a photo of him from those moments.
It can not be possible. It's him, with those same clothes, in that place, with the pencil between his fingers while he does his homework, with the speakers next to him and the phone the same
Someone
I don't think you want this to get any bigger, pup. 😏
Jungkook looks around, not seeing anything out of the ordinary. He gets up from his seat and takes one of the knives that lies on the dining room table, walking with it in his hands to check the house well.
The doors are closed as well as the windows of all the rooms, that you can't find how that photo was taken inside your home.
Jungkook feels the sweat run down his forehead as well as his temples, continuing to walk with his knife raised and his phone in hand. His cell phone rings again, with another message on it.
Someone
Follow the challenges that I am going to leave you or you will suffer the consequences.
Jungkook sighs, stopping in front of his bedroom door as he waits for more messages from strangers to come to him.
Someone
Are you going to do it, puppy?
