The Horror Of My Past.
Chapter: 1 The beginning
He was in his room, ready to sleep as he blew the candles off, light dimmed as the moon cast her soft glow inside. He sighed relaxing his body and tucking himself inside the covers...
Only a few moments passed for him to be asleep, when...a tune -- sweet melody of piano flew through the corridor of his room, it was peaceful almost like a lullaby pulling him deeper in his sleep, but then-the sound increased.
The sound of breaking the piano filled the whole house, he woke up gasping, shivering as his lips trembled...
"Who is there?!" he shouted, lips quivering.
He stood switching the light on, and moving towards the music room
He looked around hesitant...there was no one, but the piano -- broken, battered.
A scared sound left his lips, his body shivered in fear, felling the eyes....'someone was watching him'
"Who is it!" he shouted, desperate.
He moved -- slow, scared, looking everywhere in alert....not noticing 'her' following behind him.
White dress. Long hairs and an ominous aura following like a shadow...
Suddenly he stopped, finally realizing a presence behind him, he gulped and slowly turned around....there was no one, but then he froze...soft breaths touched his neck....someone was standing behind him....close...so close!
He abruptly turned knocking the table lamp beside him….no one ! There was no one -- a sob escaped his lips when he looked at the floor.. Blood! And it was falling from the roof...drop by drop
His heart beat rose...head snapping upwards and...
Jungkook quickly hugged Taehyung hiding his head in between his neck clutching him tightly, Taehyung hugged him back clutching his waist and rubbing it slowly
Kim Taehyung
"I told you not to watch a horror movie" he whispered.
Kim Taehyung
"You'll get nightmares again."
Jungkook pouted but did not look up
Kim Jungkook
"I still like to watch it!" he mumbled
He peeked up at him just to find Taehyung giving him a hard stare, Kook blinked innocently as he passed him a cheeky smile.
Kim Jungkook
"I am not the only one scared" he exclaimed
Kim Jungkook
"Look!" Kook pointed his fingers at Jimin and Rose.
Jimin was clinging on to Yoongi's leg as yoongi was sitting on the sofa and Jimin on the floor beside his legs... Rose was clutching tightly onto Hoseok's hand her nails digging into his skin but still continued to watch while Hoseok said nothing to her
Taehyung sighed, rubbing kook's hand before tightly clutching it in his own
Kim Taehyung
"Fine" he grumbled
The movie was about to end anyway so he as well let his husband enjoy...even though he looked totally scared
Kim Jungkook
"Ah! I am so full"
Taehyung shook his head at his adorable husband who was sprawled on the bed like a lazy kitten, he chuckled drying his hair as he had just taken a shower and was currently wearing only a lower....he walked towards Jungkook grasping his hand from the bed Before jerking him up,
Kim Jungkook
"Ow!" he winced. "My hand!"
Kim Taehyung
"Change your clothes first" he smiled.
Kook glared at him rubbing his abused hand, it hurts!
Kim Jungkook
"Fine! You bad Husband!"
Kook got inside the bathroom deciding to quickly take a shower and freshen up, even when all he wanted right now was to hug Taehyung and sleep!
But, he knew if he don't do as his husband had said that brute will shower him himself! And then he will be greatly seduced by him!…kook pouted...he had no energy today, they had spent all day on shopping, picnic, and other activities....!
Kook sighed as much as he loved his husband's self-control, he hated his own… And not to blame him when his husband was capable of seducing him just by standing in front of him!
After 15-20 minutes kook came out wearing a loose t-shirt and lower and stood in front of the mirror drying his hair, Taehyung walked behind him as he hugged him from behind, kook's back touched Taehyung's naked chest he sighed relaxing in Taehyung's arms
Kim Taehyung
" Did you enjoy the day?" he whispered in his ears rubbing his nose in Kook's neck
Kim Jungkook
"Yes" he shivered. "And I feel sleepy"
Taehyung picked him up in his arms causing kook to yelp as he snacked his both arms around Taehyung's neck....kook pinched his cheeks
Kim Jungkook
"How many times do I have to tell you not to pick me up so suddenly!" he huffed.
Kim Taehyung
"I love how you cling to me when I do that, My life!" he smirked.
Kim Jungkook
Kook scoffed "Brute!" his cheeks burned
Taehyung laid him on the bed tucking him inside the blanket and switching off the lights, and now only a red light was shining in that room at the center casting a red hue inside.
Taehyung leaned in.... their eyes locked with each other, smiling Taehyung kissed his forehead smoothly.
Kim Taehyung
"I love you, My life" he whispered in his ears as his lips touched it ever-so slowly.
Taehyung kissed his both eyes, Kook closed his eyes his hands moving in Taehyung's soft hairs as his heartbeat quickened, Taehyung's lips graced every corner of his face tenderly moving and touching him, as they finally stopped when Their lips met and kook clenched his fist grasping tae's hairs tightly...
Taehyung ever so slowly moved his lips against his life's caressing it with his lips, tasting them... drowning in them, but... slowly his movements increased as his hand dug into kook's waist a voice escaped his husband's mouth which only made him increase his pace... making him dive into his husband more.
Only separating when he felt his life getting breathless, and he chuckled huskily at the sight of his adorable beloved who was a blushing mess right now, his doe eyes was hazy and un-focused as they looked at him, mouth slightly open, his tongue peeked out slowly licking his bottom lips as his chest heaved up and down breathing heavily...
Taehyung was entrapped almost hypnotized by the sight of his husband, he sucked in a deep breath moving to the side and tucking his husband closer into his chest
Kim Taehyung
"I so want to lock you up just for myself" he said with such restraint that made Kook shiver in anticipation
Kim Jungkook
"I am already yours you brute!" he mumbled sleeply
Later, as the night grew...the darkness increased falling on them like second skin. Swallowing.
Jungkook stirred restlessly in the king-sized bed, tucked inside the sheets. His body moved -- in his dreams, a shadow stood at the end of a stone corridor, flickering in and out of existence.
Face - indistinct, eyes - red, hollow, fixed only at him. Then the figure moved -- arms stretching, whispering his name over and over again...calling him.
"Jeon Jungkook... I found you"
"Come to me... My prince."
It said, chilling him to bone.
He tried moving, desperately, but it held him trapped and then-- the corridor collapsed around him. Walls dripping, voices increasing, screaming calling...laughing.
That's when he saw it... A figure burning. Chasing. He screamed!
Jungkook bolted upright, breath ragged, chest heaving as sweat trickled down his forehead.
Taehyung sat up, blinking as he held his shivering form, Kook clutched back fear still gripping him.
Kim Taehyung
"What's wrong?"
Kim Jungkook
"Nightmare..." he mumbled out, hiding more into his chest.
Kim Taehyung
Taehyung paused eyes flickering as he held him tight "The usual?"
Kim Jungkook
"No. More Scary"
Kim Taehyung
"I am here. My Life."
Kook sighed as taehyung laid him on top of himself...his nightmares were getting more scary lately, that sometimes ... Kook felt they were not nightmares at all -- But a forgotten reality.

2: The Road To Sahara.
Kim Taehyung
"Can you please not go, my life?" he grumbled
Kook smiled...his husband has been grumbling and sulking since they had gotten the project of Shara town.
Kook couldn't blame him as he knew how protective Taehyung was towards him...and his frequent nightmares and sometimes hallucinations didn't help either.
Taehyung had wanted to come with him as always but this time...he had a very important meeting and Jungkook refused to let him cancel that.
Kim Jungkook
"I'll be fine. Jimin and Rose will be with me. I am not alone."
Taehyung looked at him - dejected and uneasy.
Kook moved towards him, snacked his both arms around his shoulder he tiptoed - kissing Taehyung's forehead, eyes...then his soft and tempting lips.
Taehyung's grip on his waist tightened as his shoulder relaxed...he hugged him tight.
Kim Taehyung
"You'll be safe, right?" he asked softly, gaze locked
Kim Jungkook
"Yes! It's just work. Two weeks, at most."
Kim Jungkook
"By then you'll be there already...then we can celebrate another vacation as well!" he winked
Jimin
"Lovebirds! Time to go!"
He shouted. Taehyung groaned as Kook pushed him back.
Kim Taehyung
"He really is my life's third wheel"
Three of them stood at parking --
Bags packed, blueprints and ideas rolled down. Sahara Village was another unknown place to them, a historic land near the forest edge, famous for its exquisite nature, new in which they were going to create another luxury.
Kim Taehyung
Taehyung - leaned in grabbing his wrist gently "Call me if anything happens, ok?"
Jimin
"Oh. Come on! Kook's Husband! Don't you trust us?"
Jimin exclaimed watching the worried husband of Kook...Yoongi was behind him hand on his back as he smiled when his Jimin finally burst.
Kim Taehyung
"Especially you." he mumbled
Kook giggled, while Jimin stomped towards him.
Taehyung ignored him, looking at rose who also stood beside Kook, smiling as she held his hand and nodded assuringly at him.
Rose
"Stop. We don't need a new war between you two, now. It's getting late."
Taehyung stepped back, while Jimin huffed and the youngest of them giggled again.
And as they finally settled down on the SUV, the car pulled away.
Taehyung stood there, watching as they left - his chest tightening with unease. He no longer felt that it was just worry about his life...it was something else.
And somewhere far within the walls of Shara...something stirred - waiting.
The drive to Sahara Village was quiet.
The SUV moved through the village with early morning glow, Trees framed the narrow path, children and families walked past them as if they were some show. Rose dozed off against the window while Jimin scrolled through his phone, checking, playing. But Jungkook...Jungkook couldn't shake the feeling the closer that they got, the heavier it felt for him to breathe.
He stared out of the car, lips parting as he felt his chest tightening -- the view was beautiful but to him...it felt haunting, something he had seen but not remembered.
As they entered, life slowly returned. Children playing, women working, talking, men smoked by the edge, talking politics or something...the scent of nature filled his senses, floral, firewood and the sand.
But the feeling of unease stayed,
Kim Jungkook
"Why does all of it feel familiar?" he mumbled
Jimin
"What?" Jimin looked up from his phone.
Kim Jungkook
"I don't know, this place seems familiar..."
Jimin
"Every village feels familiar kook." he stated.
The SUV halted in front of the palace.
Old yet beautiful, torn but graced with the past, its dome was cracked, pillars leaning down...but it still looked cared for, the garden was full of greenery and warmth.
As they stepped closer, a ghost of wind passed through him.
Jungkook's eyes widened settling in the center of the garden
In a flicker -- he saw fire. Screams. A crowd. a man tied. Red eyes glaring.
He staggered back bumping into Jimin who held him up quickly, startled.
Rose
"Jungkook" she touched his arms, snapping him from daze. " You okay?"
Kim Jungkook
He blinked rapidly then nodded" Ya...just tired."
Jimin held his hand, worried as they moved forward.
And as they made their way into the palace, as the guide guided them inside, that odd sensation refused to leave him.
He felt whispers again...maybe another hallucination?
He had felt unsettled and haunted before - his dreams, they were the cause, but this palace...it was heightening it in a way he couldn't name.
Once settled, they freshened up and sat down together to eat prepared by Nia - the caretaker of the house...a lady in mid-thirties.
She lives there too, but not in the palace. Behind it on servant quarter... She felt nice though ... Distant?
As they were tired from the long journey, they all went to sleep in their allotted rooms... Rose in one and Jimin and Kook in another as he refused to let Kook sleep alone.
Rose and Jimin fell asleep quickly but Jungkook...he sat alone by the cracked balcony unable to sleep, watching the moon as his fingers clutched his wedding ring desperately, feeling that same pull in his chest.
Not a day had been over and yet -- he could feel something wasn't right...the house, it made him feel watched.

Do tell how the chapter was!
Chapter 3: Whispers of the past.
The moon claimed high over the Sahara village, casting her light through the cracked windows of the blue moon palace.
Jungkook couldn't sleep. Still.
He sat on the edge of the grand bed, bare feet. The sheets surrounding him, covered his half self.
His hands touched his chest -- still fast, disturbed. Throbbing.
Then he heard it.
A sound like whispering.
He stood up. As if hypnotized the room was dim, lit only by the moonlight streaming in.
The voice called him from the hallway...whispering in his ears the walls seemed to close in on him. He shivered.
"Don't" the voice in the head warned" Don't go there."
He pushes the door slowly, the room smelled of parchment and rot. Veins crept through broken window. Curling across the book and scrolls.
In between, a candle burned, and his mind...got lost.
Cloaked in black. Hooded. red eyes glaring.
Then the burning came -- A scream, a hand reaching, clawing.
Jungkook's breath caught.
"My prince...you returned."
He turned, finally regaining control. Heart thumping.
He froze...something gripped his ankle.
Stumbling back - crawling, breathing ragged. And the touch left.
Through the corridors, through the walls, the walls around him felt moving, chasing. And when he finally burst into the bedchamber, Jimin murmured in his sleep.
Jungkook stood frozen. Shivering.
He sagged down, curling in himself...the house had chased him, scared him .
A lone tear fell from his eyes.
Something had touched him
Far from the sahara, in the city, Taehyung stirred in his sleep. The room was still. Dark. His eyes fluttered open, his breath shallow and slow, as though something had called him.
His gaze fixed on the ceiling, then -- curtains flew, he turned...then stood up as the chilling wind came inside...disturbing.
But just as he closed in -- he saw it, a shadow then...cracks running at the top corner -- one that hadn't been there earlier. Claw marks?
He blinked. Confused.
A cold gust rolled across the room, touching him.
He turned and froze as fog appeared in front of him -- a silhouette. Small. Slender. Familiar.
His chest tightened.
He stepped closer and the shape twisted ...then -- it vanished.
Taehyung's breath grew heavier heart calling, his husband.
He rushed towards his phone, but paused -- a message...from Jungkook.
No call. No talk....just an image.
Blurred. Dark. A corner of a room. Eyes so red -- staring, unblinking, directly at the camera.
His hands shook, Throat tightening and then the phone fell from his hands. A scream ringing through it.
He woke up with gasp, chest heaving as tremors ran through his body, drops of sweat touched his forehead.
Kim Taehyung
"Jungkook…" he whispered.
Then swiftly Taehyung reached out for his phone. But he paused when he noticed the time -- 2 A.M.
Kook would be asleep right now... thinking, he put it back down, standing up as his sleep was forgotten by the nightmares. Heart still squeezing with unease.
He didn't know why, but...he felt as if something was wrong.
And he could only hope that it was not with his husband.
Jungkook stood a few steps behind the others, taking in the interior of the abandoned palace. Rose and Jimin were ahead with the guide laughing, talking as they discussed the project with him. But Jungkook remained quiet.
He couldn't explain it, the sense of disquiet that settled in his chest like a constant heart-beat. His fingers twitched now then, eyes darting in corner to corner...he still felt like someone was watching him...the house.
He hadn't said anything to others. Not what he felt. Not what he saw. Not even when in the morning he felt like someone was touching him.
The guide stopped near the broken gates of the blue moon palace, explaining...but all voices died down as he felt something beneath him cracking. Moving -- he was losing himself in it again, he -
His phone buzzed softly in his hand.
He answered instantly, moving away from them.
Kim Taehyung
"Hey" his said in a warm tone. "You okay, love?"
Kim Jungkook
Jungkook hesitated, then forcing a smile he replied "Yes. I am alright."
But tae caught his distant tone instantly.
Kim Taehyung
"You sure?... You sound a little distant, My life. Why?"
Silence fell between them as kook stayed quiet while Tae waited.
Kim Jungkook
" I guess...I am just feeling weird. This palace is unsettling me, a little."
Taehyung didn't speak right away. His nightmare flashed through his eyes.
Kim Taehyung
"Are you scared?"
Kim Jungkook
"I don't know. But I feel unsettled."
Kim Jungkook
"Maybe it's just because of my nightmares...or because you're not with me!"
Kim Taehyung
"I am coming then."
Kim Jungkook
Kook smiled. "Please. But, first I want you to crack that deal."
Kim Taehyung
"It's not more important than you." he said softly
That made Jungkook breathe out slowly, tension unraveling just slightly.
Kim Taehyung
"I miss you, my life."
Kim Jungkook
Kook giggled. Soft. But comforting "I miss you too." a pause, then "Crack that deal sooner. And come to me."
Kim Taehyung
"Stay close to Rose and Jimin okay? And if you feel anything call me...anytime. Please."
A soft breeze brushed past him, for a moment he thought he heard something -- like breathing near him.
Kim Taehyung
"I love you."
Kim Jungkook
"I love you more."
