Their eyes almost popped out seeing how well decorated & beautifully structured the 2nd floor is. Elegance is what dripping from every corner. There are so many rooms, some are closed & some are open. Ancient designs are curved on the wooden doors of the rooms. The walls are decorated with ancient & traditional wall mat & paintings. Antique statues can be seen here & there. They all are looking around with their eyes filled with amazement.
Six of them are roaming around, going into different rooms & checking them out. They aren't even bothered by the stinky smell in the air or the darkness of the place, as if they are bound in any enchantment. As if something has cast its spell on them.
"Woah.. its so beautiful! Flawlessly painted.." Taehyung exclaimed seeing a painting of a girl with a tiger. He is inside 1 of the rooms which looks like someone's bedroom.
"Yeah she is beautiful.."
Taehyung flinched as he looked behind him to see the one who just talked.
"Ow Jimin-ah.. when did you come in here? I thought Hoseok hyung is standing here." Taehyung asked. He actually saw Hoseok who came inside after him.
"Awhile ago when you were busy admiring the painting." Jimin said with his usual eye smile.
"Ohh.. yeah the painting is attractive though." Taehyung said again looking back to the painting.
"Yeah.." Jimin said as he looked at the painting closely with a smile.
Suddenly something caught Taehyung's attention apart from the beauty of the painting. Looking closely he realized what it is as his eyes became wide. The woman in the painting is smirking looking direct into his soul. He just couldn't believe his eyes as he thought he's seeing things.
But then he got goosebumps as he shivered in fear when he heard that woman calling his name in a very low tone, almost like whisper. Her eyes turned red, blood red, as she looked at him with a devilish smirk.
"J-jimin-aahh... d-did you s-see that.." Taehyung said to Jimin while pointing his index finger towards the painting. His eyes are popping out as his body almost froze.
"What?" Jimin asked him with confusion.
"T-the painting moved & it.. it called m-my n-name, didn't you hear?" Taehyung asked.
"What are you saying? How can a painting move or talk?" Jimin laughed a little at him.
"But.. but it just did.." said Taehyung with pleading yet fearful eyes.
"Taehyung-ah you just hallucinated." Jimin said while patting Taehyung's shoulder. Taehyung is now in dilemma on what to believe, his eyes or Jimin's words. So he just nodded.
"Come on let's go." Jimin said while dragging Taehyung out of the room.
...
"What do you want to see hyung?" Yoongi asked as he's being dragged by Jin. He told Yoongi that he wants to go to that one room which he found interesting, but can't go alone as he's scared.
"Just come. The room looked really beautiful from outside. And also there's a big piano in there." Jin answered as they kept going through the dark corridor which is giving Yoongi chills. But piano is what caught Yoongi's attention.
They both entered into a room at the very corner of the corridor. Its so dark inside that Yoongi had to turn on his phone's flashlight. He looked around the room holding his phone up. Its indeed a beautifully organized room & it does have a piano which is placed against the wall. He slowly made his way towards the piano as he taped on a key of the piano. But he got only rusty sound rather than the melodious one. He looked up only to find the painting nicely decorated above the piano. There's a woman in that painting who's playing that piano.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Yoongi heard Jin saying that as he nodded.
"Beautiful but useless. Its all rusty now." Yoongi said.
"Soon you'll become like that, rusty & useless." Yoongi looked behind hearing that as he felt offended a little. He saw Jin facing the opposite of him, his back is facing him.
"Hyung.." Yoongi called Jin as he took little steps towards him. Jin slowly turned & Yoongi's blood went cold as he froze on the spot widening his eyes.
The thing he thought to be his hyung slowly looked at him, but there's no eye balls evident in the eye sockets, rather there's only darkness in it. That handsome face is slowly changing into something that Yoongi can't even describe in words. That fair skin turned into burnt flesh, blood dripping along with rotten melting flesh from the body as if it's burnt few seconds ago, or still burning with an invisible flame. Suddenly blood started flowing out of its hollow eyes as it stretched its hand towards Yoongi.
Yoongi didn't waste a second to run out of the room. He can feel the thing is following him, but he didn't dare to look behind as he's running for his life. He's way beyond terrified. Never in his life he thought he would face this.
...
"Anniyeong hasayo jeonan bangtan sonyeondan hangeum maknae Jeon Jungkook-imnida~" Jungkook is smiling playfully while holding a flashlight under his chin which made him look creepy while saying those. Hoseok gave him a 'what the hell' look which made him chuckle.
"Yaa Namjoon-ah I told you they went this way, why are you searching them in that room?" Hoseok asked Namjoon in annoyance. He is annoyed at everything as he is scared & wants to leave but no one is listening to him. Even Jin is having fun ignoring the fact that he's also scared a little.
"But I saw them going in the- there they are." Namjoon said pointing his gaze towards Jimin & Taehyung as they are walking this way.
"Where were you guys?" Jungkook asked.
"We were in that room.." Jimin answered as he pointed to the room they just came out. "Taehyung got scared in there by the way." he added as he laughed a little. Taehyung frowned at him.
"Yaah I know what I saw & heard, that painting really moved & called my name." Taehyung retorted & Jungkook couldn't control but laughed at his statement.
But before Taehyung could say anything Yoongi bumped with his back. He immediately turned around only to see a very terrified Yoongi standing there while panting.
"What happened Yoongi hyung?" Namjoon asked & others looked at Yoongi with worried look.
"There.. that... Jin hyung..." Yoongi just couldn't talk as he is way too much scared.
"What did I do?" Jin asked as he heard Yoongi taking his name. Yoongi looked at him with wide eyes. He couldn't process if its the real Jin or not.
"Tha-that's not hyung.." Yoongi said pointing his index finger towards Jin. Everyone looked at Yoongi with confusion.
"What are you saying hyung?" Jimin asked.
"That's not Jin hyung, it tried to kill me.." Yoongi answered.
"What??!!" Everyone said in unison.
"Hyung I think you've got very frightened, you shouldn't have gone alone." Namjoon said & other's nodded in agreement.
"Look I know what I saw.. its not hyung, it changed.." Yoongi shouted.
"Okay Yoongi relax.." Jin walked towards Yoongi as he placed his hand on Yoongi's shoulder. But Yoongi punched him on the face which left all of them off guard. Jin looked at Yoongi with confused yet disappointed eyes. He didn't fight back or moved, just stared at Yoongi in disbelief. It made Yoongi realize that its the real Jin because Jin would never fight them back no matter what.
"Sorry hyung.." Yoongi apologized as he sighed & placed his hand on Jin's shoulder. "There was this 'thing' I'm not sure what it was, but it was in disguise of Jin hyung. It dragged me to that room & I just went with it believing that its hyung. But then it changed into something horrifying in front of my eyes. I-I can't even describe what I saw. Please believe me, I'm telling the truth." he explained.
"See I'm also telling the truth, that painting really moved & talked." Taehyung said.
"We should get out from here." Yoongi said. No one could say anything as they still don't know what to believe except for Hoseok who believed every word of them.
"That's what I was saying, let's just go from here." Hoseok said. Everyone agreed with him as they started to walk towards the stairs.
Little did they know there's someone or more like something which isn't in the mood to let them go. It wants to play...
With its new toys.
