*This is part 2 of Chapter 11. If you missed part 1 head on over to the previous chapter to get caught up :)*
_______________________________________
(Continued from part 1):
The place was really creepy. Amani could not convince herself of anything different. Even Jungkook, the youngest and bravest of the group was swallowing hard at every creak and shudder the house made. He wasn't deterred however. He wanted to go deeper and see what laid ahead.
Amani had never been in a place like this. Old houses were almost assuredly always haunted and she didn't play that paranormal stuff. She believed in unclean spirits - her religion taught her that they were something to pray for protection from. She didn't believe in ghost however. People died and went back to the creator, not floated around earth for eternity. She avoided any and all situations that exposed her to unclean spirits, but yet because Bangtan wanted to go exploring, she followed them with little hesitation. Sometimes being a fan made you into half the smart person you were on a regular day.
V trailed along after Jungkook who was in the lead with loud, rushed steps. He didn't like this place, not one bit. It was scary and it put him on edge.
"Ah Jungkook.....how much longer are we going to stay in here?" he asked him in a low whisper, the tenor of his voice causing the sound to vibrate around them. For some reason he didn't want to project his voice in here. He sorta felt like something was listening to them.
"I just want to see what's upstairs."
"But it's so dark," V whined anxiously, "I don't like it in here Kookie."
Jungkook didn't reply and kept moving forward. They came to a staircase. V whimpered as he followed Jungkook up the rickety stairs. Jimin stuck close to Maya as they followed V and Jungkook for which she was grateful for. She was regretting her decision to come in here. Jinns had to be be everywhere in this house.
Amani brought up the rear and together they climbed to the second level.
Suga couldn't find anyone by time he entered the house. It was pitch dark inside and his eyes took a few minutes to adjust. Old broken furniture was scattered everywhere casting strange shadows where the sunlight filtered in. They really were crazy for coming in here he thought. This place was beyond unsettling.
Suga made his way cautiously around the debris and deeper into the house.
"Hey! Where are you guys?" he called out. Silence was the only answer. That struck him as odd. He should have at least heard someone faintly but it was deathly quiet in the house.
"Guys?"
He continued to navigate the house carefully, his efforts bringing him to a staircase. Maybe they're up there he thought. He'd started his ascent up the stairs when the eerie quiet was shattered by a shout.
Amani! He ran up the stairs, the boards creaking madly under his pounding footsteps. He ran upwards and turned in one fluid motion on the landing to collide full body with a solid figure.
"OH MY GOD! I just ran into someone!" Amani shrieked, completely terrified. It was a Jinn! She knew it!
"What is it?! Is it a Jinn!?" Maya screeched wildly while moving away from where Amani was standing. Suga picked himself up swiftly, holding a hand up.
"It's meu! It's Suga."
Amani let out a relieved breath. "Oh thank God! I thought you were a Jinn."
That was the second time the girls said that word. What did they mean by Jin?
"What eh... mean this? Seokjin is eh...not here?" Suga said, confused that they kept saying Jin's name.
"No, a Jinn...like a bad spirit....." Amani tried to explain. Noting his confused expression, she gave it up. "Never mind," she said instead.
"I hear scream. Why scream?"
"I thought I saw something," V confessed quietly in Korean. Suga huffed.
"So you screamed like a girl?"
"Hyung stop being mean to everybody," Jungkook said, sticking up for Taehyung.
"Just because Amani doesn't want to talk to you..."
"You don't know what you're talking about. Just mind your business kid alright?" Suga snapped, beyond irritated with the whole thing. Jungkook didn't say anything else.
The group made their way down the steps. They all had enough of the creepy house.
"Why did you decide to come inside? I thought you didn't want to come." Amani asked Suga quietly. He opened and closed his mouth looking for a reply that didn't make him sound like a sissy.
"Because.....this houseu... very danger," he replied, quickly glancing away from her. Oh, Amani thought. Did that mean he was concerned over her safety or was he just stating a fact? Somehow she thought it was the former though clearly he didn't intend to admit that to anyone, and probably not even to himself. The thought that he cared about her safety made her smile.
They left the ancient house without looking back. Jungkook's remark bothered him. He didn't really think that Amani didn't want to talk to him...did she? She hadn't tried to talk to him the whole ride here. Maybe she didn't like him.
Or maybe you're too mean... his mind whispered.
"Thanks for coming inside to see if we were okay," she said softly from behind him. He turned around to her to reply. "You welcome," he replied, and gave her a smile.
That smile. It lit up his whole face. Suga could be so moody and negative but one smile from him made you forgive him for it. His smile was powerful and Amani was absolutely vulnerable. She felt herself melt at the sight of his smile. Just like that his meanness was forgiven and she was okay with him again.
For the rest of the drive Amani and Suga talked, little sentences here and there, but it was enough to make Suga feel better that maybe she did like him after all.
None of them saw the lone photographer that lurked on the other side of the street as he snapped pictures of the group as they got in the car and pulled off.
