《Red Balloon》[JJK]

*☼*―――――*☼*―――――

Jungkook turned around and found a man with a giant red balloon. Who is he? Why does he have a sickening smile latched onto his weirdly hinged mouth? "Want to explore the amusement park with me?" He said in a ghastly voice as he tilted his head.

The creaking sounds of his bones when he slowly bent his neck made jungkook's skin crawl in horror. Why is the man approaching him? Jungkook shook his head, trying to clear his vision. It's blurred by his own tears and sweat covered hair. But the man with red balloon was clearly in front of him.

Jungkook stepped back, eyes glancing behind his back in terror. Why is there a cliff behind him? If he fell, none can save him. Yet, his feet wouldn't stop.

The man now extended his hand towards jungkook, offering the bloody red balloon. Glossy red liquid dripped from the joints of his fingers but his smile never faltered.

Slowly, very slowly, jungkook's feet drew him closer towards the end of the cliff. His hands gripped the hem of his shirt and sweat cascaded down his neck in a small stream.

A scream escaped his throat. Suddenly, he jerked back to life, panting for air, safe, on his bed. Was it a dream? "Want to explore the amusement park with me?" His heart skipped a beat, hands clutched the sheets and a lump formed in the back of his throat. He turned around to see the man with red balloon.

One of my author friends had asked anyone who was interested to write a 250 words story that starts with "jungkook turned around and found a man with a giant red balloon..." so I just wrote it randomly but I liked it so decided to post it here.
