That's Not Good

Namjoon looks up and points, "Air conditioner vent. Have maintenance check that, too." He thinks that is the only logical and reasonable explanation, but even he is beginning to doubt himself.

 He decides to keep his worries to himself. He doesn't want to scare the others. They already seemed too freaked out.

Yoongi goes to the lobby and the security office with Jungkook practically glued to his side. He takes his time, giving Jungkook time to tell him what happened last night.

"I swear, hyung, it was real. I felt his hands around my throat. I was losing my vision, seeing beautiful sparks of light before my eyes, when the weirdest thing happened. They formed into a female figure and shot toward the dark figure holding me down."

He slightly trembles at the memory of almost being choked to death. "I swear she shoved him off me, and I know you won't believe it because I can hardly believe it myself. But they went right through the wall!"

Jungkook looks at Yoongi with desperation to be believed. Yoongi places a comforting hand on his shoulder. He flinches away a little and pulls the shoulder of his shirt down to allow Yoongi to see the handprint bruise on both his shoulders.

"This is where he held me down. I swear he was pushing my body through the mattress. I feel like he would have pushed me through the floor if she hadn't shown up." He lets go of his shirt, covering his shoulders once more.

"I believe you, Bun. I have something I want you to listen to later in my studio. But first, let me speak to security and see if maintenance is in." He reaches out to open the door to the security office when he notices the apprehension in Jungkook's eyes. "You can come with me if you want."

They step into the security office together, greeting the security team that came on to replace last night's crew.

"Hello Yoongi, Jungkook. Good morning, " says Min, one of their favorite security staff members who has been with them for years.

They both greet him with smiles and bows of politeness.

Min laughs and pulls them in for a hug, "Stop with that nonsense. We are family." He knew they greeted him as they did out of respect and in front of two new security staff members.

"Guys, I want to introduce you to Min Yoongi and Jeon Jungkook. The best young men in Seoul, well, two of the seven best young men." Min looks proudly at 'his' boys.

Jungkook blushes, looking away with his cute doe eyes. Yoongi nudges Jungkook, and he looks back at Min.

"Yoongi, Jungkook, this is Parker," he gestures to a blond-haired, muscular older man who nods in greeting. Then Min points to the other man, "This tall fellow here is Senjin." a tall, robust, dark-skinned young man reaches out and shakes their hands.

Min shows Yoongi and Jungkook around the security office. Min pointed out the multiple CCTV display monitors. Yoongi was instantly captivated. Several CCTVs on each apartment floor monitoring the entrance to the stairs, the elevator, and the hallway, and one focused on the apartment door. Even their balcony had CCTV mainly angled to catch any drones trying to get close.

"Wow, impressive." Jungkook says before looking at Min, "Are there any in our apartments?" He was so tired of never having any real privacy.

"There are, but the controls for them are in your apartments. In the utility closest in the hall next to your laundry room. You control when they are on. We also have an app you can download on your phones so you can view your apartments when away. The CCTV can be remotely cut off and on from your phones as well."

Jungkook smiles. "That is really impressive!" He plans on having his up and running all night to see if a repeat of what happened last night occurs again.

"Please make sure Jungkook's apartment door is on monitor closely every night. Just for his peace of mind. He thought someone was in his room last night." Yoongi explains to Min.

"Sure, no problem." He looked at Jungkook, "What happened last night?"

Seeing Jungkook's hesitancy to say anything, Yoongi speaks for him, "Just something that woke him up, but he couldn't figure out what it was."

Min knows about Jungkook's fear of sasaengs breaking into their rooms. He places a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, we will keep an eye on you. Just turn on your CCTV when you are in bed to sleep. Enter a special code and we can watch your place from here."

He goes to his desk and opens a drawer, pulling out a small notebook. He tears off a page and hands it to Jungkook. "Here is your emergency number. You enter it, and we will be able to see your apartment from one of those seven monitors over there." He points to a wall with seven displays labeled for each member. KS, MY, JH, KN,PJ,KT, JJ.

"When one is turned on, an alarm will sound so they will know to check it out."

Hearing that, Yoongi notices that Jungkook is more relaxed than he was earlier.

"Min, did anyone say anything about seeing someone in the building last night?"

Jungkook fidgets nervously, waiting for the answer to Yoongi's question.

"They didn't report anything out of the usual last night. Just some strange light." He starts laughing, "They argued about it all night over whether it was a bug that flew in front of the lobby camera or if it was just a large piece of dust floating by. Wung said it had to be an orb."

Yoongi's curiosity is that of a cat; he has to ask, "What does he mean by an orb?" He looks questioningly at Min.

Senjin steps forward. "Some believe an orb of light is the soul or spirit of someone who has passed on."

"What time did they see that orb? Do you have it saved?" Yoongi gravely asks, afraid of what he might see.

Min says, "Sure, Parker pull up last nights lobby cam would you. The timestamp is in the report they gave us."

Parker sits in front of a computer and pulls up the footage. "Security wasn't here yet when this happened. Jun called and informed them about the door and that Yung was hurt. They checked the footage once they got here."

On the screen, they watch Jun, Cho, and Yung come to the door, which keeps partially opening and closing. Just as Yung tried to rush through the door, it slammed on him at the same time there was something weird on the screen. 

"Play that back!" excitedly shouted Yoongi. "Look, Look at that. Watch that orb!"

Their heads closely watched the monitor over Parker's shoulders; in unison, they all gasped in shock.

The orb was moving across the lobby when it suddenly changed direction, heading straight for the door just as Yung started to step through. They all cringed at the sight of him being caught in the door and witnessing his arm being broken.

Senjin frowns, shaking his head and making tsk tsk noises. They look at him, and he says, "That's not good."

Watching Yung's arm being broken made Jungkook sick, he drops to the floor grabbing a trash can and throws up. 

Yoongi mumbles under his breath, "That wasn't a bug or a speck of dust."

They all turn to look at Senjin in shock when he says, "It was evil."
