REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*slowly opens his eyes and sit*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*turns off the bedside Alarm*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)

REN WELLINGTON (DA)

ELLA WILL (O//LANDLORD)
Hello Dear 😊
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Oh Good morning, Grandma *smile*
ELLA WILL (O//LANDLORD)
Good Morning, Ren. I hope I didn’t disturb you.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
No no. You didn’t.
ELLA WILL (O//LANDLORD)
Dear, I am really sorry to say this but can you empty the Apartment room soon. 😔
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*Shocked* Why, grandma? Did I make some mistake?
ELLA WILL (O//LANDLORD)
Oh! no no dear. It's just that my husband and I are thinking of rebuilding that building. Hope you understand.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Oh, Alright grandma. I understand. *sad*
ELLA WILL (O//LANDLORD)
Thank you dear *smile*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*sadly smile and hang up the call*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*Sigh*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Now what am I going to do?
Ren got ready for his work and went to his office while searching for an apartment online on his way.
In the lunchtime at office
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*sigh*
SOMEONE
This is the 50th time you are sighing today. ʕ–_–ʔ
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
I don't know what to doooo, Ven. 😫
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
(─.─||）
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
about what?
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
I have to leave my apartment soon. I am going to be homeless. 🥺
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
why you have to leave your room? (~_^)
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
The landlords are going to rebuild the whole building. 😩
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
And other apartments are too expensive for meee 🤧
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
( ͡°ᴥ ͡° ʋ)
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Bish, You have such a great job with a nice pay and an apartment is too expensive for you?
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
ಡ ͜ ಡ heartless! Don't you know I have to send money to my parents and siblings in the village.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Even I have to save some money for the future as well.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
So I cannot afford an expensive apartment 😓
Suddenly someone came to the table where Ren and Draven were sitting
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Hello..?
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
I am Dominic Hale.
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
I work in sales department in the company.
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation.
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
But I heard you want an apartment on cheap rent, I know about a building where apartment are quite less expensive.
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
I wonder if you are interested.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
But why are they less expensive? *Rise his eyebrows*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Is something wrong with that building?
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
Oh, actually there are rumors spread about the building that it is haunted... which is obviously not true.
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
But there should be some reason behind the rumors.
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
The building looks very old and nobodies lives there for years.
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
That's why rumors are spreading. And the owner decided to give it on rent for slightly lower than others.
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
If you are interested you can look into it.
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
We are grateful but-
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
We are interested. Do you have contact information of owner?
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
*Frown*
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
The building owner lives in another country, but *pull out a card and forward it towards Ren* You can contact on this number.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Alright. Thank you so much.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*gives a faint smile*
DOMINIC HALE (DA)
*smiles and walk away*
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Ren, Are you mad? Why did you agree? *frown*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
What's wrong?
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Seriously, didn’t you hear there are rumors about that building?
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Ven, You know I don't believe in ghosts and things.
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Still-
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
and there is not harm to just look into it, right?
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
*silent*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Don't worry, I'll just take a look and if I feel anything is wrong then I will step down. Alright?
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Okay (↼_↼)

Ren contacted the contractor, Alex, and they agreed to meet at a local café to discuss the rental details.
The next day, Ren arrived at the quaint café, spotting the contractor already seated at a corner table. As Ren approached, the contractor's intense gaze made him feel a tad apprehensive. Ren mustered a warm smile and extended his hand, introducing himself.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Hi, I'm Ren Wellington. Nice to meet you.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*trying to break the ice*
The contractor remained silent for what felt like an eternity, his piercing stare making Ren shift uncomfortably in his seat.
Just as Ren was starting to feel uneasy, the contractor's face broke into a warm, friendly smile.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
Ah, sorry about that,
The contractor said, his deep voice soothing Ren's nerves.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
I'm just a bit particular about the people I work with.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
I'm Alex Thompson, by the way.
Ren breathed a sigh of relief as they shook hands.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
No worries, Alex. I understand.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Let's get down to business, shall we?
As they sat down, Ren explained that he was interested in renting an apartment in the building. Alex discussed the various amenities, floor plans, and rent prices. Ren seemed impressed with the details.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
I think this could work,
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
But before I commit, would it be possible to see the building and the apartment layout?
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
It would give me a better idea of the space.
Alex's gaze lingered on Ren for a moment before he nodded in agreement.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
Of course, that can be arranged. I can take you there after this meeting.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
Let's finish our coffee and head out.
With that, they finished their coffee and headed out to inspect the building, discussing the rental details and amenities along the way.
As they arrived at the mansion, Ren's eyes widened in awe. The sprawling estate was grander than he had imagined, with towering spires and intricately carved facades that seemed to whisper secrets of the past.
Despite its apparent age, the mansion's structure seemed remarkably well-preserved, but an unsettling silence surrounded it, like a shroud of mystery.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
This is quite a place.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
*smiled knowingly*
Yes, it's a bit of a showstopper, isn't it?
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
The previous owners were quite... eccentric.
As they stepped out of the car, Ren noticed the peculiar glances from passersby.
People would slow down, stare, and then quickly look away, as if they were trying not to be caught gawking. Ren felt a shiver run down his spine.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Is this area always this quiet?
*trying to break the silence*
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
*nodded* Yes, it's a bit of a secluded spot.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
The locals tend to keep to themselves.
As they approached the mansion, Ren's nervousness grew. The silence, the stares, and the mansion's imposing presence all combined to make him question his decision.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
"Was it a good idea?"
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
"It's a bit... isolated."
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*looking at the mansion*
As they entered the mansion, Ren's eyes adjusted to the dimly lit interior.
The air inside was thick with the scent of old books and dust. Suddenly, a window creaked open by itself.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
Whoa, sorry about that,
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
*Laughing* The old place can be a bit... temperamental.
Ren forced a smile, but his unease only grew. As they walked down the hallway, the lights flickered and then went out, plunging them into darkness.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
Ah, great,
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
*Muttered, pulling out his phone to use as a flashlight*
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
The old electrical system can be a bit... finicky.
Ren raised an eyebrow but said nothing. He followed Alex as they walked through the mansion, taking in the details. Ren felt a slight unease but didn't let it show on his face.
As they continued the tour, Ren asked practical questions about the property. Alex answered, seeming to expect Ren's interest.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
The owner, who lives abroad, is looking to sell this house.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
What's the asking price? *curious*
Alex told him the price, and Ren's eyes widened in surprise.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
That's... quite low, isn't it?
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
*nodded* Yes, it is.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
The reason is... well, people around here believe this house is haunted.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
No one wants to stay here, so the owner is willing to let it go for a good deal.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Haunted?
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
*shrugged* Just rumors, I'm sure.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
But it's been a while since anyone's lived here.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
If you're interested, I can put in a good word for you to buy the house instead of renting it.
Ren hesitated, unsure if he wanted to commit to buying the house. Alex seemed to sense his uncertainty and offered,
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
Why don't you stay here on rent for a month or two?
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
If you like it, you can contact me about purchasing it.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
And if you decide not to buy it, I'll try to find a buyer. You can stay here on rent until then.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*thought for a moment before nodding in agreement*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Alright, that sounds like a good plan.
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
So, what do you think?
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
Is this the place for you?
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
It's definitely... interesting.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Can we discuss the rent and lease terms?
ALEX THOMPSON (DA)
*smiled* Of course, let's talk numbers.
As Ren and Alex shook hands, sealing the deal, a figure emerged from the darkness of the hallway, their presence so subtle that neither of them noticed.
Standing just beyond the faint glow of the phone's screen, the figure's eyes locked onto Ren with an unnerving intensity. Their gaze was like a cold draft on a winter's night, piercing and unblinking, as if sizing him up for some unknown purpose.
The air seemed to thicken, heavy with an unspoken presence, yet Ren remained oblivious, too caught up in the excitement of his new temporary home. The figure, however, didn't move or breathe a word, their silence as deliberate as their stare, leaving an unsettling feeling that lingered long after Ren and Alex walked away.

Next day, Ren arrived at his sprawling new mansion with luggage in tow, his best friend Draven tagged along.
Stepping out of the car, Draven’s eyes widened at the grand, weathered facade of the estate, a mix of awe and unease flickering across his face.
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Dude, this place is massive. 😲
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
*Whistling softly, though his voice carried a nervous edge*
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
But, uh, you know the rumors, right? People say this house is haunted. ╯﹏╰
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*chuckled*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Come on, Draven, don’t be such a scaredy-cat.
(ღゝ◡╹)ノ
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
It’s just an old house, not a horror movie.
As they hauled Ren’s luggage inside, Draven gawked at the towering ceilings, ornate chandeliers, and sweeping staircase, muttering,
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
This is either a fairy tale or a nightmare waiting to happen. (≈චᆽච≈)
Ren, ever the prankster, couldn’t resist. He snuck up behind Draven and let out a loud,
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Woooo!
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
*jumped three feet in the air, clutching his chest* (」ﾟﾛﾟ)｣
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Ren, what the—?!
Σ(っ°Д °; )っ
*yelped, face pale*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*laughing*
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
That’s not funny! ಥ‿ಥ
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*doubled over laughing*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
You’re too easy, man. 😂
They spent the day unpacking and cleaning, the air thick with dust as sunlight poured through tall windows. Ren kept the mood light, teasing Draven by draping a sheet over himself with eyeholes cut out, popping out from corners to make Draven shriek.
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Dude, stop it!
*laughed, despite his nerves*
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
You’re gonna give me a heart attack.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Just getting you ready for the mansion’s ‘ghostly vibes’.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*teased, eyes twinkling mischievously*
As the sun set, casting an orange glow over the estate, they finished their work and collapsed onto the grand hall’s couch, exhausted but buzzing with excitement.
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Time to celebrate!
♪☆＼(^０^＼) ♪
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*pulled out his phone to order pizza and beer* You in?
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Heck yeah!
Draven replied, his earlier fears easing into the thrill of the moment.
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
Let’s make this place home. (／^-^)／☆
As they ate, drank, and traded stories, their laughter bounced off the walls, growing rowdier with each beer.
Ren kept up his pranks, making Draven jump with fake ghostly noises, though Draven couldn’t help but laugh along. Still, a faint unease lingered in Draven’s eyes, like he sensed something watching from the shadows.
As the night wore on, the beer and long day took their toll. Sprawled on the couch, Draven mumbled,
DRAVEN WILLIAMS (RA)
This place is kinda comfy. *voice slurred*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
*smirked, eyes heavy*
REN WELLINGTON (DA)
Told you it’s a sweet deal. (๑✪ᆺ✪๑)
They drifted into sleep, oblivious to the mansion looming above, its long, ominous shadows stretching in the dim moonlight. For now, the secrets hidden in the darkness stayed just out of reach.
