Midnight Mansion (1)
Jungkook's voice is very nice and it allowed him to easily establish a good impression. He also acted very calm and sensibly.
Hearing his voice, Taehyung who was originally feeling very nervous couldn't help but relax a little.
Using the faint moonlight, he assessed the other four teammates including Jungkook.
At this moment, the wind picked up blowing away the dark clouds obscuring the moon.
As the white moonlight shown down illuminating everyone's faces, Taehyung was able to make out Jungkook's appearance. Seeing it, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.
The young man before him had a slender and tall figure. Under the moonlight, his pale skin looked as if it was almost transparent.
Paired with eyes that shone like a jewel and were as dark as the night sky, a small tear mole at the corner of his right eye and slightly raised lips that had a trace of flirtatiousness, he looked stunning to the point that it felt somewhat unreal.
Jungkook raised the corners of his lips slightly as his gaze fell onto Taehyung and he gave him a soft smile and a little nod.
With that smile of Jungkook's, even if Taehyung is a straight man, he couldn't help but feel his heart race from his handsomeness
A curse word almost left Tae's mouth but fortunately he was able to hold it back in time. He also gave Jungkook a smile.
When he finished saying this, Taehyung moved his gaze over to the other three teammates
There was one man and two women. Of them, a pair of man and women stood very close and even wore a couple outfit. Clearly, they're a couple.
The other woman wore glasses and appeared to be quite docile like a good girl.
The female half of the couple looked over at Jungkook in daze. Her boyfriend noticed it and his expression immediately darkened. He pulled her into his arms and deliberately gave Jungkook a look.
Only now did the woman return to her senses and say a few casual phrases to placate her boyfriend. The boyfriend immediately turned his attention over to her and spouted out cheesy love talk that made Taehyung couldn't help but shiver.
At this moment, the system started to introduce the story behind the instance.
【This is a very well-known cursed building. It used to be an ancient mansion owned by the noble family of Sorcha.】
【For hundreds of years, the luxurious and magnificent mansion was like a bright pearl; dreamy and beautiful. It was a place that everyone had longed for, but this stopped being the case twenty years ago.】
【Twenty years ago, the young daughter of the Sorcha family brought her newlywed husband over to the residence and they became the new owners of the mansion.
However, in less than a year, the newlywed couple and all their servants died tragically inside the mansion. The two subsequent owners of this mansion similarly were met with mysterious deaths.】
【Since then, this once glorious mansion had been completely abandoned and horror stories centred around it started circulating around. Soon, it became a taboo existence.】
【As members of the occult club, the five of you are very intrigued by the horror stories surrounding this mansion and have agreed to come together tonight to investigate and reveal the truth behind it.】
【Main task 1: Investigate the truth】
【Main Task 2: Leave the mansion alive.】
System K29
【Your special mission: Collect the photo and kiss the boss. If you don't complete the special task, you will not be able to leave the instance even if you complete the main tasks.】
【The moment you enter the building, the game starts.】
System K29
【I wish you a happy game.】
After hearing the tasks announced, the corners of Taehyung's mouth twitched a few times —
Taehyung (Tae)
💭 What happy? How can I be happy with a garbage special task like that?!
After everyone was done hearing about the instance, Jungkook smiled and spoke up.
Jungkook
Can I ask how I should refer to you guys?
The docile woman appeared to be rather introverted and only fidgeted awkwardly without saying anything.
The female half of the couple wanted to say something, but she was held back by her boyfriend who just snorted coldly at Jungkook.
It appears that he was still unhappy about the earlier incident of his girlfriend staring at Jungkook and he wanted to kick him off his high horse
Taehyung (Tae)
Hello, I am Taehyung. Um…..I hope we can all cooperate with each other and clear this instance together
Taehyung didn't want there to be any conflicts in the team before the game had even started so he took the lead and introduced himself
"Hello everyone, I am Lu Wenjing….." The seemingly docile woman said this in a quiet voice.
Taehyung who heard this had the urge to laugh.
This woman really is true to her name. She can't be more docile and quieter than she is already. (notes: Wenjing literally means gentle and quiet)
But the next second, Lu Wenjing suddenly pulled out a long crowbar from inside her backpack. The crowbar was still stained with blood. With a splat, a drop of blood fell to the ground.
Taehyung (Tae)
..............
"Hello, I am Ren Xue. This is my……..my boyfriend, Wang Jianming."
The beautiful female half of the couple ignored her boyfriends attempts to hold her back and introduced them both. At the same time, she didn't forget to reveal a sweet smile at Jungkook
Her boyfriend Wang Jianming stood behind her with a grim expression. He clearly wasn't happy about his girlfriend talking to Jungkook, but he couldn't stop her and could only watch on reluctantly.
With him looking like this and his earlier act of spouting cheesy love talk to try and please the other party, Taehyung could easily tell what was going on.
Wang Jianming was most likely his girlfriend Ren Xue's spare tire and faithful dog.
After finally managing to turn things into his favour, he was probably afraid that someone would steal his girlfriend and would treat all men with wariness.
But with that slight pause in Ren Xue's words, it was apparent that she didn't like Wang Jianming all that much. She had difficulty admitting that he's her boyfriend and it seemed like she wouldn't hesitate to dump him at any point in time.
As for Wang Jianming, he definitely regards Ren Xue as a goddess. The reason why this buddy is here was probably because he followed his goddess over.
If his goddess said that she's very scared, this buddy here probably patted his chest in confidence and became a player by accepting it through the app. It's almost certain that he would have said something along the lines of him protecting her
At this moment, Ren Xue stretched her hand out to Jungkook, but he only smiled gently and didn't hold it.
Jungkook
If everyone is okay with it, let's go in
Ren Xue bit onto her lower lip and revealed a trace of hurt expression on her face. Wang Jianming felt particularly distressed seeing this.
He angrily glared at Jungkook and then patted his chest: "Xiao Xue, sometimes you can tell that someone is unreliable with just one glance. You don't need to be so friendly with him. Don't worry, you have me here. I will definitely protect you!"
Taehyung cleared his throat to suppress the laughter that was about to come out. No, he can't laugh. It would be too rude. He would direct all the hatred over to himself if he did.
So he maintained a serious expression and responded to Jungkook
Taehyung (Tae)
Then let's go in
