Hints from the past.
Yoongi and Namjoon wasted no time and immediately raced towards the old staircase and started sprinting up the stairs.
However, Namjoon accidentally stepped on a weak wooden stair and it broke.
Kim Namjoon
*horrified* F**king shit! Yoongi, help me! My leg is stuck in this broken staircase!
Yoongi immediately moved forward to grab his leg and swiftly took it out as they climbed up the stairs even further.
Min Yoongi
*worried* Watch out for the weak stairs. You might end up collapsing through the stairs if you're not careful enough!
Slowly, but steadily, the elder two members finally ascended the stairs, and in front of them was a long, neverending passageway covered with spiderwebs and all sorts of filth and dirt. However, it all began to seem oddly familiar to the two members.
Kim Namjoon
*stupefied* Yoongi... don't you think this hallway seems way too familiar... even though it's our first time being here...?
Yoongi inhaled forcefully and let out a loud exhale as he slowly acknowledged what Namjoon meant. His eyes widened when the realization hit him.
Kim Namjoon
Are we both... thinking about the same thing?
Both of them looked at each other in astonishment.
Kim Seokjin
H-Help me... what's h-happening here? Please... l-let me out...
Kim Namjoon
*worried* Jin! Wake up!
Seokjin had been struggling to sleep ever since the youngest three members of the group began talking about the haunted house incessantly.
Namjoon began shaking Seokjin's body violently as Jin kept talking in his sleep, begging to escape the nightmare he was in.
Min Yoongi
Kim Seokjin, wake up! You're safe here! The members are by your side!
After what seemed like unending hours, Jin finally opened his eyes and immediately sat up on his bed, sweating profusely and panting heavily as if he had been running a marathon just now.
Kim Namjoon
What happened?! A nightmare again?
Kim Seokjin
*stutter* I-I...
Yoongi poured water into a glass and passed it to Seokjin to calm him down.
Seokjin took the glass of water and devoured it within a second.
Min Yoongi
Take your time, hyung. We're not gonna leave your side. Just tell us when you're ready.
Kim Namjoon
*nods in approval* He's right. Don't be too harsh on yourself. Just tell us about it when you're ready..
Kim Seokjin
*scared* I-I... How do I even- Oh god! I almost died!
Kim Namjoon
What happened? Can you tell us from the beginning? As far as you remember?
Kim Seokjin
I don't know, Joon. I don't f**king know! It's the same dream again! I keep getting these repetitive dreams again and again and every single time they get even scarier. I feel like she's gonna catch up to me the moment I close my eyes!
Kim Namjoon
*confused* She? Who's she?
Kim Seokjin
*weeping* I don't know! Every time I close my eyes, I-I find myself in front of this n-neverending hallway. The wallpapers are black and everything is covered in... d-dust. Everything's filthy! There's b-black paint on the wooden floor and my feet are c-covered in it! A-And the lights... th-they're always flickering as if they're about to t-turn off soon!
Kim Seokjin
*stutters* A-And when I look up... I see HER! I-I don't know who she is... but she's wearing a blue dress and she's hanging on to the ceiling... a-and her back is turned to me but her face... she's looking at me! Her face is turned all the way around...and she's smiling... Her eyes are glowing red... Ugh!
Seokjin's head started hurting as if someone was crushing his head by force... the members brought out the headache medicine to feed him while he lays back down to rest.
Kim Namjoon
*worried* Take it easy, hyung. Don't stress over it too much... We're booking a doctors' appointment for you. Let's get it checked out tomorrow...
Min Yoongi
*upset* You'll be okay, I promise.
Kim Namjoon
*frightened* Black wallpaper, hallway covered in filth, wooden floor with black paint splattered on it that has gone dry...
Kim Namjoon
...All that's missing now are the flickering lights and the lady in the blue dre-
Min Yoongi
*realization* Namjoon! The chandelier!
Yoongi shouted so quickly that it caught Namjoon off guard. But he slowly processed Yoongi's words and eventually figured out a correlation between them.
Namjoon turned to see Yoongi who had already turned around and was pointing towards the huge chandelier that looked extravagant...
It seemed like nothing was wrong at the first glance... but the chandelier was made from beautiful blue stones... and looked very clean...
In a house that had been abandoned for centuries, where every nook and cranny was covered in centuries worth of dirt and filth, and no one had ever come across this place, how come this chandelier looked so clean as if it was new?
