Aaden's POV

We reached school, and it's already 7 a.m.. Classes will start at 8, so we still have 1 hour to get some work done. We went to the student council room, some of the students greet us, and obviously we have to greet them back. We entered the room and started working.

"Hey have you guys contacted the girls? They usually come to school way earlier than all of us!" Namjun stopped arranging the documents and looked at us.

"I already contacted Ibelina, but she didn't picked-up her phone." Hwajun replied while writing down something.

"Hold on a sec, I'll call the vice." I take out my phone and try calling Zandara.

"The number you've called is unavailable, please try again later."

Huh? That's weird, Zan never turn off her phone. Maybe, she forgets to charge it?

" I can't reach her." I put my phone away. Calix tried calling the others, and it seems like he failed as well.

All of us went silent, the atmosphere is quite uncomfortable.

"C'mon guys, stop worrying. Maybe they have some girl's problem... Or it could be that they all overslept." Yi said while looking at us and shrugging at the same time. Sometimes, I feel like this guy's brain are full of air...

"Now that I remember, yesterday Wei Lin said they'll have sleepover together that night." Khael replied, he just came out of the accounts book's room.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAID THAT EARLIER!?" Taejun throws a pillow towards Khael's face, but he caught it right before it landed on his face.

"I just came out, man! Chill~ you're worried about Emilia, right~?" Khael wiggles his eyebrows and smirk while looking at Taejun.

" What's wrong with a boy having a crush anyway?! It's none of your business, Khael!" Taejun blushed while continue doing his works on the laptop.

Yeah. It's so obvious to the point where Emilia starts giving you sign as well, you're so dense Tae...

"Clueless as always" Khael sighed and skipped his way to me.

Khael it would be better if you explained it to him. Anyway...

"I'm still worried..." I mumble to myself.

Yeojun stand up from his seat and went over to Hwajun.

"Hwajun-ah, I don't feel that well." Hwajun looks at him and immediately hug him.

Namjun and Taejun follow their oldest movement and immediately hug their youngest. What a lovely sight. Suddenly all the lights flickered. All of us stay silent for a while and the lights are back to normal.

" That scared me for a while." Calix chuckled and looked at all of us.

" Is it something supernatural!?" Yi whisper yells while standing firmly next to Calix. Wait I thought he's at the printing corner? Pfft! he sure ran fast~

Yeojun gets out of his brother's arms and all of us stand up immediately. It's not that we're scared, it's just that, there's a weird vibration on the ground. I immediately take out my phone and called the emergency service. Huh? What the hell!? The light went completely off now. All of us switch on our phone's flashlight.

" Aaden! I can't call the emergency number!" Hwajun said out loud.

"There's no service." Namjun who's trying as well. All of us tried calling but the vibration becomes much worse. I shouted at Khael's direction.

" Khael, try using the laptop!"

Taejun immediately gives the laptop to Khael. He tried using it but failed as well. Suddenly Calix interrupted.

"Don't you guys think it's too silent....?" Calix raised his hand up as a sign for us to be quiet for a while.

"The window. I can't see anything outside, it's pitch black." Yi is now looking at the window. "You guys know how much I avoid spiritually inclined stuff because it creeps me. To be honest, I'm scared right now, and I can puke any moment."

"You're not the only one. I'm scared, but I don't know how to react." Hwajun said while holding Namjun's hand, that kid is already anxious.

"We should check outside." Taejun walked his way to the door.

"Have you lost your mind? We don't even know what's outside!" Khael stopped him and looked at me. "Aaden say something!"

"It's the best option we've got, Khael. Do you think it's better to stay here and do nothing?" I sigh and walked over to them. "I'll check out what's outside and if anything happens to me, close the door immediately and don't open it. Easy."

The others got silent and Namjun tap the table.

"We're not doing that. Ad this is not funny! I-I-I don't... like what's happening right now..." Namjun looks down.

Suddenly the small space under the door started shining. Voices of people could be heard, we stare at the door and I look back at our stuff.

"Pack something useful." The others quickly do as I said.

I take my sling school bag and emptied it, I tossed the books aside and take the stationary with me. Phone, charger and power bank. Yeojun came over to me and hand me snacks and drinks.

"Thanks, Yeo." He nodded his and walked away to distribute the remaining food and drinks.

"We're done, oh and I've brought some emergency kits." Yi pointed towards his backpack.

"Is it heavy? You can put some things in mine." Calix said while looking at Yi. Yi just shook his head saying he's fine.

"You guys ready?" I look up and the others just nod their heads or said yes. I sling the bag on my shoulder and walk over to the door. Yeojun stands beside me and pat my shoulder. I nod my head and take a deep breath.

I open the door and what's in front of us are something unexpected....

What is this place? How can it be here?
