"Yeah yeah don't worry Jimin I'll be just fine, you worry too much and tell Yoongi that I'll be over as soon as I'm finally settled here, I miss you two too much already but anyway now my food is here, so I'll talk to you later bye bye and I love you both!"
I end the call while chuckling knowing that I didn't give Jimin another chance to rant further since I knew it would be majorly him convincing me to drop the job and get back to him. I grab the isolated polythene that contained the food that was left behind for me to eat. Finally, after years of battling between all-nighters and examinations I ended up scoring a secure position at my desired company. The only sad side to this was that I had to shift to another place closer to the branch I was appointed at which was about ten hours away by road from the place I earlier called my home.
I've spent almost my whole life around their and made some of my best memories around that place as well so leaving the people I love and call my family behind was definitely hard but still sometimes life demands for changes and those changes are for the good. I still miss them annoying me all the time, bugging me to eat and then fighting over stupid games and baseless arguments. Life feels like an empty bus without them by my side unfortunately because no matter what happens some people always end up being your comfort place. They are the ones you think about through your darkest days, and it's just a blessing in general to even have such people in your life.
Before I could even start to eat a knock heads in, I immediately walk towards the door not knowing who it must be since the neighborhood was majorly isolated. People apparently didn't like this area and some even claimed to have seen paranormal activities especially around this house, perhaps that's why no one was really ready to shift in here regardless of the good pay that the job provided but then my tough situation demanded for a desperate measure. I never claimed to not believe in ghosts because in my mind there's a pair to everything, when theirs love then it gives birth to hate so when we believe in god then why can't their be evil?
We don't even know how life started to be exact, some people support science and some swim along the mythological beliefs, but I prefer to stay in between knowing that life's just unpredictable and full of mysteries. Evil might not be in some old women in a Victorian off-white night grown and silver hair jumping around or maybe a dark shadow lingering over your room at midnight, it's just a form of energy just like how we feel the presences of positivity whenever we try to have any connection with God whether it's through the prayers or just finding the good in the simplest creations.
I smiled towards the blonde male who invited himself in, he lived right across the street. He introduced himself the day I came to look around the place even though he did warn me beforehand about whatever happened around this place. Many people left it just within the span of weeks and maybe sometimes just a month even though he personally never felt any kind of negative presence around him in general, so he never had the thought to move away. He was a kind and handsome young photographer with a very good reputation even though he wasn't much talkative with the others because according to him, all they want is to talk to him once and then rant behind his back.
This evening Taehyung being his usual self was dressed up in a plain baby blue shirt that was thin enough to display the numerous tattoos he had all over his ribs and back, they all were different kinds of flowers and saying that went together like some forbidden poetry. Parts of it were red and some were black which has the perfect clash to it like fire and water. He had plain black jeans on which were loose, so they puffed out his shirt in a way that made him look much more alluring. A thin gold chain battled over his prominent collar bone while his hairs were still the classic wild mess as always.
His body leaned in a little before closing the door, my eyes stealing a glance of his gold watch that looked like stolen from the lines of a vintage royal novel. His thin yet muscular arms highlighted those minimalistic jewelries more than the sky that dipped itself with uncountable stars.

"So I was wondering how my beloved neighbor called me at her place by herself since half of the time I'm the one who's bugging you for attention"
He smiled, I rolled my eyes in response knowing his playful self before walking towards my room as he followed me
y/n
"First you should be thankful because I got us some food and that too from your favorite place, and secondly I called you here because I did some research and I thought you would find the results interesting."
kim taehyung
"You literally just shifted here with all your furniture today my dear, but thank you for the food"
His eyes sparkled as he grabbed the plates and started serving himself with excitement. This place did amuse me even though I knew that researching was maybe a bit too much, but then I just couldn't hold myself back once I heard all the weird rumors about this place.
y/n
"I know, but I don't know Taehyung you are really in for some treat today"
I shook my head while placing down the thick binder which included some newspaper clippings and article links that I managed to gather. Taehyung dropped his fork down on his now sauce covered plate before pulling the binder towards himself, his curious eyes immediately swimming through the provided information.
y/n
"So basically this place was owned by the Jeon's. It was originally built about two hundred and thirty-four years ago but got renovated just eighty years ago again when they decided to put this place up for charity but no one was interested, so they finally gave it to the town and soon my company took over multiple houses in this area for the employees and this happened to be one of them. It's funny how over the time people actually forgot that this house has seen a lot through history" I continued as he paid attention to my words
y/n
"So before this house was evenhanded over for any kind of charity work, originally the property was split between the two so-called families since it later on turned out that Kim Nar who at that time inherited all this property from his father and grandfathers ended up cheating on his wife with a random woman who later turned out be pregnant.
So he gave all of his good and earning properties like the oil industry he owned, and the farm houses to his legal son Kim Namjoon who left for the states a long time ago because he just couldn't face his father after that incident and the rest of the leftover waste like this old house and the failing estate business was handed to his son Jeon Jungkook who ended up with his mothers surname Jeon instead of Kim since Nar obviously dumped his mother after using her for sex but then when he realized that she was pregnant, he had to take some kind of responsibility to have his image in the society you know."
kim taehyung
"That's fucked up, damn I didn't see something like that coming for sure"
Tae gasped as his fingers traced over the article that talked about Namjoon leaving for the states to continue his business their, a little black and white picture of him in a suit attached to it. He was handsome honestly even though I failed to know any of his recent news, maybe some related to his family now since he became a lot more private once he left this place. It was better to respect his privacy either way,
kim taehyung
"So did that the other son Jeon Jungkook live in here? This Namjoon guy looks like some president not going to lie"
I laughed at his comments, totally agreeing with the president part since he definitely seemed like the type of person who would rule any political party effortlessly.
y/n
"I actually don't know what happened to Jungkook since there is nothing else mentioned him, there weren't a lot of articles either because he apparently went missing out of nowhere a year after the property. His anonymous lover tried her best to find him but failed because at that time police wasn't really cooperative according to her, and she eventually moved on. Maybe that's why people say that they see him around here even though I couldn't find a single image of his on the internet, they think someone murdered him in this house and buried him in the forest because back at that time this area was just filled with trees and bushes
kim taehyung
"Oh shit that's actually scary now. Maybe that's why I never tried to know more about this place, I'm not as brave as you so"
He gulped a little before closing the binder and pushing it aside.
kim taehyung
"Y/n I think you should sleep at my place tonight, you haven't had your bed delivered yet, and I don't know about you, but I don't think I can sleep alone after that story you told me right now, so you are coming with me"
Taehyung huffed while aggressively chewing the chicken with puffed cheeks due to the spice
y/n
"Yeah yeah, how about we dug my backyard later. Maybe we'll find something?"
I tease him while wiggling my eyebrows playfully,
kim taehyung
"Y/n stop! I'm scared seriously"
He continued to whine and eat as the night melted away with doubts and theories which could be true or maybe a lie but regardless to it all I was looking forward to this new chapter of my life.
I closed the door smiling, it was the next day and finally my new bed arrived. As expected yesterday I slept over at Taehyung's place, it wasn't anything sexual since we were both knocked out after two bottles of beer but still I wouldn't have minded even if it was. He was an attractive male and sex can always calm your mind down once in a while, release all sorts of building of frustrations within you and just provide you with an escape from the real world.
y/n
"Finally you are here"
I jumped on my bed feeling like it was my own personal heaven, the new plastic coated smell of the frame invading my senses but still it was a huge relief to finally receive the most essential item to survive.
Before I could even take a little nap my phone started to vibrate with the familiar ringtone, at first I ignored it but later on it started to build up more and more causing me to groan with frustration because it could only be one person who was capable of annoying me till this extent. I immediately pull out the not so little but expensive device to accept the face time, his bubbly smile immediately invading the screen.
y/n
"EW Jimin are you seriously calling me while having sex?"
I scrunched my nose back as his messy hairs finally got out of the view, and now I could see his post nap face, tired eyes which were blessed with some quality sleep and a ***** chest while his body rested against the wooden frame of his bed.
park jimin
"No dumbass, I was just taking a nap, and I was also missing you so what ever but tell me how are you doing? Did you get the bed yet?"
he rubbed his eyes as I chuckled knowing that if I was their near his house he would have immediately rushed towards me for cuddles
y/n
"Yes it did just a minute ago, and I miss you more but are you coming this weekend with Yoongi? I can't wait to see you guys, and I'll show you around too! I'm sure Yoongi is going to love this place, it has the aesthetic he enjoys after all."
park jimin
"Well I'm getting a leave this Thursday so me and Yoongi will be their by Friday and stay for a couple of days with you, he's taking some leave as well because trust me he acts tough, but he was whining about how much he misses kicking your *** all day long"
He rolls his eyes dramatically while I laughed not being able to hold myself till they arrive so that I could just hug them as tight as possible and feel the feeling of home once again.
y/n
"You are glad he isn't around right now or else his knife and your *** but are you two going to take the train or something?"
I questioned not wanting them to have any kind of discomfort while travelling.
park jimin
"Oh hell nah we are driving to your place baby, might have some good old car sex in the way or well if not that I can just enjoy my man driving the car you know but anyway if we enjoy the car drive then we'll come by the road from next time or else try something else"
y/n
"Jiminie I'm like not really interested into knowing your sexual fantasies and how you are going to get your car dirty as usual for sure, but please make sure you are safe and also ask Yoongi to not drive one-handed, and please don't do the nasty in a public place you know also keep the location on so that I can know where you two are."
park jimin
"Whatever you know that I have only you to do my nasty ranting my love, but anyway who was that snack on your story last night? I swear to god if I wasn't so whipped for Yoongi I'll definitely smash him by now"
Jimin yelled in a modified high-pitched voice before laying down on the bed a little, I remembered the selfie I posted with Taehyung on my story earlier and so did he since we were apparently close friends now and according to him sharing moments with close friends is mandatory
y/n
"He's my neighbor Kim Taehyung, he is a photographer, and he's been giving me some good company, so I don't know yet, but I think we are going good so far as friends and for the future who knows what is going to happen, but I'll introduce both of you to him when you get here."
park jimin
"Bitch! I saw his account earlier. That dude is famous, and honestly he seems like a nice guy, bet he has a big-"
Before he could complete I immediately stepped in knowing what he was about to speak
y/n
"Park Jimin I swear to god stop!"
My yell resulted into him having a laughing fit since he enjoys annoying me the most.
y/n
"You can never have a single decent conversation with me Park Jimin, I swear to god i-"
My eyes that somehow traced around my room for a bit froze when it fell over the shadow that just passed by my door and then the realization sort of came right after. The door was closed because I waved goodbye to the people who dropped my furniture then how come it was now unlocked and opened in a way to have enough space for someone to walk in
park jimin
"Y/n? Are you okay?"
Jimin's voice snaps me back.
I turned my head to peak through the space between the open door to just see what could have possibly happened, or maybe it was my fault for not locking the door properly since I was desperate for a nap and if someone would have possibly stepped inside the house or attempted to open the door then I must have known because I was just here. The staff was about to come back to arrange the bed once again and take it to the master bedroom which was located upstairs and that's why I decided to just wait here,
park jimin
"Y/n I know something is wrong, what happened? You look like you've just seem someone getting kidnapped or something."
y/n
"I-i was just laying down here since they placed the matters and bed parts near the main door and the staff said they'll be back by the evening to get it upstairs, and I remember closing the door shut before laying down on here but now when I looked back at the door... It was open, and I even saw a shadow passing by it as if someone opened it from outside and just walked past it"
I explained as my figure still hesitated to walk towards the door to close it even though it was just two seconds away
park jimin
"Hey you are just being paranoid right now, I'm sure it's just the wind that pushed it back, and maybe you forgot to close the door? And the shadow wasn't some humans necessarily. Remember how you once thought that some thought that some thief was in the house when all it was some random broken trees shadow."
y/n
"Yeah you are right, I'm just thinking too much and after hearing all the weird theories people have created it isn't helping either. Look Jimin I'll call you back in a moment yeah? Let me just call the furniture place to get here as soon as possible"
He immediately nodded as we exchanged our I love you's before ending the call. I held on my phone right before finally walking towards the door, my hands trace the vintage fancy door knob as a small smile makes up to my lips.
y/n
"These fancy shits are making it hard for me maybe I did actually forget to lock the door but never mind"
I immediately lock the door from the inside before calling the furniture company to get my work done but what did get unnoticed by me was that it definitely wasn't a windy day, especially in between the warmest weeks of summer with no trace of loo.
