(5) Are You Scared Yet?
It had been a few days since the scare at the building. Sunoo was being carefully monitored in his sleep, just in case he had anymore nightmares.
They had exactly three days until the filming was supposed to begin for the haunted house.
"So on a scale of one to ten, how do you like their outfits?"
"Jay are those packing peanuts?"
"They need to be safe."
"Niki is eating one of them."
"Riki stop that!"
Jay was in charge of picking out the clothes the maknae line would wear for the filming. He wanted them to be as safe as possible while in there.
"Okay so no packing peanuts. Because Niki thinks they're real peanuts.", Jay said.
"Taste like peanuts appa.", Niki replied.
"No...no they don't.", Heeseung said.
"Daddy I wan play games.", Jungwon said.
Jay, who was now picking up discarded packing peanuts, stood up.
"Sure baby, go ahead. I'll look for more outfits for you all."
Jungwon gave him a hug before running to the living room, where Jake and Sunghoon were playing video games.
"Dada!", Sunoo yelled, holding Heeseung's hand.
"Yes?"
"Umm, we wear...uh...school?"
Heeseung looked at Jay.
"What did he say?", Jay asked.
"We wear school! For film."
"Ah he wants to wear their school uniforms for the video.", Heeseung replied.
"Maybe I could style them up a bit.", Jay said to himself, before nodding in agreement.
While the four in this area of the house were discussing outfits, another member appeared in the doorway.
"Hey guys, our Manager just called.", Jake said in English.
"What did he say?", Jay replied.
"He thinks we should see the location before filming. He wants to pick us up later."
Sunoo and Niki looked at each other. They were not too excited about this idea. Especially after what happened yesterday.
Yesterday (In The Basement)
"Wonie it's not funny! Turn the lights on!", Niki said.
"They won't turn on Riki! I trying."
Jungwon, Niki, and baby Sunoo were downstairs, playing with toys.
Jungwon wanted to scare them by turning off the lights suddenly, but now they wouldn't turn back on.
"Let me see. You go sit with Sunie."
Niki tried to turn the lights on whole Jungwon sat down and put baby Sunoo on his lap.
"I think it broken.", Niki said.
Just then, the lights flashed on before turning off again.
"Riki I scared.", Jungwon said.
Sunoo snuggled close to him.
The lights once again flashed on and then back off.
"I no like this...", Niki said out loud.
He felt a cool breeze pass him, making him turn around.
"Wonie was that you?"
"I'm over here!"
Suddenly, Niki felt a hand touching his shoulder.
He stood still, eyes fixed on the light of the TV. The hand slowly moved up before it covered his eyes.
"Wonie! Sunie! What's going on! I can't see! Help!"
"I help you Riki!", Jungwon yelled.
As Jungwon got up, the lights turned on. Someone came down the steps.
"What's going on? Why were the lights off?", Jake asked.
Niki, who could now see, turned around to Jake.
"We just playing. Right Wonie?"
Jungwon looked confusedly at Niki.
"Yeah, just playing."
"Okay then. Just keep the lights on so you won't trip over anything."
The two agreed.
In the background, Sunoo (with his favorite pacifier) watched the whole scene unfold. He saw what had a hand on Niki's shoulder. The all-too-familiar ghost he had seen many times. But he was a baby, and couldn't tell them that's what it was.
Niki stared at him from across the room while Jake left. In that moment of eye contact, Sunoo knew.
Niki recognized it too.
Back to Present
"Sounds good.", Heeseung said.
"He's coming around three. So we have an hour to get ready.", Jake continued.
"I'll get the kids ready.", Jay happily said.
He grabbed the hands of Niki and Sunoo before taking them to the living room.
"Come on Jungwon, we have to get ready."
"But daddy, I just got my turn!"
"I know sweetie, and I promise you can play more later. Let's just dressed now?"
Jungwon sighed before following them to Jay and Jake's shared room.
The littles lined up by Jay's bed as he excitedly ran to his closet. If anything, he loves dressing them up. He finds it hilarious to call them his "triplets" who he gets to be a full-time stay-at-home dad to.
"Hey Sunie, did you have dream last night?", Niki asked.
"Yeah."
"What happened?", Jungwon asked.
"Ghost was hiding."
"Hiding where?", Niki wondered.
"In you.", Sunoo replied, pointing at Niki, "You scary..."
Before Niki could even properly register what Sunoo said, Jay came from the closet.
"So here we have matching track suits. Either these, or shorts and t-shirt?"
They all pointed at the track suits.
"Good choice. Do you guys need held changing?", Jay asked.
Sunoo raised his hand.
"Alright, let's get changed."
15 Minutes Later
Jungwon slid down the railing of the stairs, falling off at the bottom and landing on his feet.
Niki slid down and smashed into Jungwon, making them both fall.
"Ow Riki! You crush me."
"Oops. Sorry Wonie."
Jay came down carrying Sunoo. The triplets were dressed in their matching tracksuits, and shoes.
Jake, Heeseung, and Sunghoon saw the four and went over to them.
"Ready to go? I wouldn't mind leaving early.", Heeseung said.
"Yep. You boys ready?", Jay asked the three.
All of them nodded.
Jake told them that he would text the manager and tell him they were ready. Until then, the seven members sat in the living room while watching the news.
25 Mins Later
The honking horn signaled the arrival of the manager.
The seven boys went outside and hopped into the vehicle. Heeseung sat in the passenger seat. Sunoo, Jungwon, and Niki sat on the second row, with the other three members in the back.
"Ready? Let's go see the place.", Manager said.
All the boys nodded, and they sped off towards the location.
During the ride, Sunoo held the hands of his brothers. The three had some scary experiences over the past 24 hours, and they didn't like the idea of going to a haunted house.
What if Ghost followed them?
In less than twenty minutes, they had arrived. The house was two floors, Victorian style, and abandoned. It was fairly large, and surrounded by land surveyors to make sure it was stable for filming.
The members got out, hesitantly of course, and walked toward the house.
Sunoo and Niki stopped halfway, Jungwon moving a step further before catching a view of something in the window.
"Ddeonu," he whispered, "Is that..."
Sunoo held Niki's arm.
"You guys okay?", Heeseung asked.
The older members looked at the littles, who hadn't moved from their spot.
Niki took a deep breath before leading the other two forward. They went up the four steps, and to the door of the home.
As Niki reached a hand out to open the door, Sunoo grabbed it.
"What's wrong Sunie?", Niki asked.
"We need to go."
"You not little anymore?"
"No. I'm not. Niki we need to go. Please."
"Why?"
By now they had gained the attention of all the members and Manager.
Before Sunoo could reply, the glass of the window next to the door shattered, making them scream and jump back.
A black mist began to spread across the entrance of the home, engulfing all who surrounded the house in darkness.
"Shit! Niki! Jungwon! Where are you?!", Sunoo yelled.
"I'm right he-AHHHHHH!", Jungwon yelled.
"Wait! No! He-AHHHHH!", Niki yelled.
"Guys! Guys! Where did y-"
Sunoo stopped. Standing in front of him was none other than Ghost.
Sunoo could hear the older members calling out for them, but he didn't answer. He couldn't. Ghost reached out his hand to Sunoo, who unknowingly grabbed it and was suddenly pulled harshly into the darkness in front of him.
The mist disappeared, and the hyung line looked around frantically for their babies.
None were in sight.
"Riki! Sunoo! Jungwon!", Jay yelled.
"Babies?!", Hesseung yelled.
Manager went up to the door of the house and tried to pull it open. It was completely stuck.
"Where did they go?!", Jake asked.
Jay looked through the window of the house.
It was empty. Abandoned. They weren't there.
They were...gone.
