5. DISCO
Kim Taehyung
*shook his head, then scanned the seemingly normal dormitory room once more before hesitating and nodding.*
He first shook his head because he felt that he was wide awake throughout his vision, and because what he saw seemed real and was definitely not a dream. He then nodded his head because there was no possible explanation for what he saw other than it being a nightmare. After all there are no ghosts in the world, right? But why did they disappear once he leaped onto Jungkook's bed?
Kim Taehyung
*stared vacantly at Jungkook for a moment and spotted hints of amusement in his eyes.*
Kim Taehyung
*Hurriedly wiped away the tears that he had cried in fright and frantically turned away from Jungkook before, red-faced, climbing back up onto his own bed.*
Kim Taehyung
(F**k, I had lost all the face he had in this lifetime in front of Jungkook today!)
The fear from the "nightmare" he had still hadn't completely dissipated, and Taehyung could no longer sleep. Therefore, he didn't lie down after climbing onto his bed but turned on his reading light and hugged it as he leaned against the wall. Biting his lips, He looked around the room nervously.
The terrifying face of the female ghost resurfaced in his mind, making the timid Taehyung unnerved to the point that his hands and feet became cold. He groped for his phone beneath his pillow, wanting to chat with someone, only to find that he had forgotten to charge it for the entire day and it had only 10% battery left.
Taehyung felt reluctant to use it, so he cradled the phone preciously in his hands. He didn't want to talk to his archnemesis, but it was too quiet in the room so silent that he felt panicked.
Kim Taehyung
*After struggling with his own subconscious for a while, he called out* "Jungkook...."
Because of his fright, Taehyung's voice sounded gentler than usual to the point that it sounded frail, like he was pouting.
Jeon Jungkook
*Silent for a moment, then responded.* "... Hm?"
Kim Taehyung
"What time are you sleeping?" *He continued to ask softly.*
Jeon Jungkook
*Sounded a bit hoarse.* "After I'm done reading this book, in half an hour."
Kim Taehyung
*Responded weakly with a soft sound.*
The dormitory room was restored to its previous silence.
Once everything around him became quiet, Taehyung couldn't keep his imagination from running wild. He wasn't even able to remain silent for half a minute.
Kim Taehyung
*Hugged his knees and softly asked,* "What book are you reading?"
Jeon Jungkook
*Cleared his throat and replied,* "A fiction, it's called {(The Death of Living Corpses)}."
Taehyung, who was just frightened by a "nightmare," was further spooked by the name of this book and his fear level increased by 5 points. He pursed his lips and shifted to curl up in the corner, pressing his back against the wall before quietly turning his reading light to its brightest setting.
He got anxious and thought of many scenarios that involved Jungkook being possessed by ghosts.
Kim Taehyung
*Panicked* "Are you there?"
Jeon Jungkook
*Chuckled lowly.* "Nope."
Jeon Jungkook
(This little guy is so clingy when he's scared.) *thought with amusement.*
He never hated Taehyung in the first place; he only previously disliked him because Taehyung was instigating conflicts. Jungkook was pretty much only fighting back passively. Because of this, once Tae became well-behaved, He couldn't bring himself to dislike him anymore.
Kim Taehyung
*Murmured* "Let me know before you sleep."
Kim Taehyung
*Still wanted to make some conversation.* "Jun..... "
But suddenly, before he could finish saying his roommate's name, a strange and unfamiliar male voice appeared once again...
And it was accompanied by a chaotic stream of music.
Ghosts
"OKAY, THIS IS DISCO ENTERTAINMENT ROOM 508, A PLACE FOR FUN! THIS MIXTAPE IS PAINSTAKINGLY MADE BY OUR DJ Duan Tou, FEEL THE BEAT! SHAKE IT WITH ME!"
Kim Taehyung
*Stunned and frozen in place.*
Kim Taehyung
(Don't tell me... isn't this what MCs yell to hype up the crowd when a mixtape is playing?)
Ghosts
"YEAH~ YEAH~ GHOST LADIES AND GHOST GENTLEMEN, LET'S FIND OUT HOW HIGH WE CAN GET! RAISE YOUR HANDS, LET ME SEE YOUR ASHBOXES!" *The strange male voice continued to shout out passionately.*
Kim Taehyung
(Ghost ladies and ghost gentlemen? Ash boxes!?)
These keywords spooked Tae's fragile heart once again, and his spine straightened rigidly and his hair stood on end. Biting his pale lips tightly, he looked down from the bed.
Kim Taehyung
*Almost frightened to death the dorm room was packed full of ghosts!*
He saw everything so much more clearly this time since he was more prepared. All of the ghosts had pale gray faces and were dancing crazily together. Some were even throwing paper money while dancing, and a few were on his and Jungkook's desks playing air guitar. The leader of the group (who was also on a desk) swung his head violently and carelessly, and a bloody eyeball flew out of its socket...
Kim Taehyung
(This could be said to be very careless indeed.)
Ghosts
*The leader exclaimed in surprise then kneeled down, trying to find his eyeball in the same manner as a human who lost their contact lens...*
Kim Taehyung
(Why the f**k would you play air guitar on my desk anyway!?)
Kim Taehyung
* Taehyung's heart almost stopped at this scene, and tears of fear started building back up in the corner of his eyes.*
Kim Taehyung
*Felt scared and angry, but somehow also had an inexplicable urge to laugh at this scene*
After staying frozen for a moment, Taehyung did what he did previously, and hugged the only other living person in the room in desperation.
Jeon Jungkook
*Quietly put down the book in his hands.*
The moment Taehyung came into contact with Jungkook, the chaotic music and horrendous singing stopped suddenly, the ghosts disappeared into thin air, and the dorm room became silent once more.
Kim Taehyung
*Opened his mouth but found that he still couldn't pronounce the words "there are ghosts."*
He recalled how Grandpa seemed like he tried to say something with all his might before he died but still failed to do so, only leaving the words "Maybe the mysteries of the world aren't meant to be revealed." Taehyung didn't understand then, and hadn't bothered to think too deeply about it, but now... did Grandpa mean this?
Kim Taehyung
*Mind became muddled once again.*
But there was one thing he was now completely sure of even though Jungkook couldn't see anything, what he saw just now was definitely real!
Jungkook's voice broke through his thoughts.
Jeon Jungkook
"What made you come down again?"
Kim Taehyung
*He couldn't think of a logical excuse.*
Jeon Jungkook
*Asked* "Still afraid of that nightmare?"
Kim Taehyung
*Shook his head, trying to rebuild his image in front of his 'archnemesis' in spite of his tear-filled eyes, and asserted.*
Kim Taehyung
"I'm not scared!"
Jeon Jungkook
*Lips twitched and he smiled mischeviously.*
Jeon Jungkook
"Why are you always crying then?"
Kim Taehyung
(You're the one who's always crying!)
Kim Taehyung
*Wiped his tears, glared at his 'archnemesis', then stubbornly crawled out from under the covers.*
But this time, he was too scared to go back onto his own bed, so the stubbornness and determination that he had briefly shown disappeared in a second. Instead, He sat on the edge of Jungkook's bed with his slippers on his feet, just like a meek young wife. In this frightened and insecure state, He stared unblinkingly at the desk in front of him.
Not long ago, there had been five ghosts on that desk, and an eyeball was even lost in the corner... Taehyung's eyes remained wide open, fixated on the empty desk. He wanted to find some evidence to show Jungkook, but was failing to do so. There was simply no evidence to be found to prove what he saw.
Jeon Jungkook
*Looked at Taehyung who was acting so unlike his usual self and asked in amusement* "What are you doing sitting on my bed?"
Kim Taehyung
*Thought about different ways in which he could get the point "there are ghosts in the dorm room" across to Jungkook.*
Kim Taehyung
*He got a notebook and a pen and sat back down then tried to write the words "there are ghosts" on the paper. However, when he tried to do it, his hand that could previously move around freely froze after writing "there".*
He expected this, but what about writing other things?
Once this idea was formed, Taehyung's hand was free once again. He drew a few lines on the paper without any restrictions.
Jeon Jungkook
*Observing his strange actions, raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked* "What in the world are you doing?"
The busy Taehyung shook his head, wrote a few math formulas and some poems, and made a little doodle of a pig. He instinctively wrote the words "Jeon Jungkook" on top of the pig's head.
It wasn't on purpose, it was muscle memory!
Jeon Jungkook
*Both angry and amused.* "You..."
Kim Taehyung
*Snapped back to reality and hurriedly crossed out Jungkook's name on the little pig's head.*
In conclusion, He found that no matter what he wanted to do, he could do it... as long as he didn't have the idea of "wanting to tell Jungkook about ghostly matters". If he did have that idea, his arm would freeze up.
It's as though there was an unseen power that was stopping him from revealing the secrets of the spirit world.
Kim Taehyung
*Frustrated, He threw the notebook to the side.*
Kim Taehyung
(Since I couldn't say it directly, could I hint at it subtly?) *thought about what happened today then turned to Jungkook and sniffled lightly before recounting,*
Kim Taehyung
"My grandpa passed away and I went to see him for the last time today, and then he..."
That mysterious power seemed to find out about Tae's little scheme, so when he reached this part of the sentence, his sentence was cut short. The words he was going to say turned instead into a strange, choking sound.
A warm hand came to rest on his shoulder.
Jeon Jungkook
"... I didn't know, so don't take the words I said before to heart."
Jeon Jungkook
*Gently patted his shoulder, and continued in a low, gentle voice* "Don't feel sad. If you need anything these next few days, just tell me and I'll help."
Kim Taehyung
*Felt like he was collapsing from frustration, but couldn't help but feel a bit moved by Jungkook's words.*
Kim Taehyung
(Nononononononononono, you misunderstood! I'm not asking to be pitied!?)
