"Are you sure this man can help us out?" Taehyung asked as he shut the car door behind him and walked over to where Jimin stood.

A click signified Jimin had locked the car.

"I'm sure. If he can't, no one can."

"Well, that's. . .reassuring?" Taehyung said slowly before he took a look at the mansion before them, "This is flippin' huge and damn, it's exterior is– "

"Beautiful, right? I know. But don't let that fool you," Jimin warned and moved towards the entrance.

"What do you mean?" Taehyung questioned, cautiously.

"Oh, you'll see."

Taehyung stared at Jimin for a few seconds before he followed him into the mansion.

"So who is this guy again?" Taehyung asked as they walked through a passage lit by dim light that hung from the ceiling.

The entire place had an eerie feel to it and it made Taehyung's hair stand on the end.

"A supernatural doctor. He's been a close friend since my college days. Crazy old fellow. Had a knack for such things. Carried these cards around and scared the shit out of a bunch of jocks after he told them their death was a week's notice away," Jimin explained with a chuckle.

"Damn, are they–"

"Dead? Nah. They're alive alright."

"Explain to me why you think this guy would have the solution to our problem?"

Jimin rolled his eyes.

"He lied to them. They troubled him a lot. He was more reserved. More of a loner. He was eccentric, to put it simply. Jocks like them target kids like him. None of us have any knowledge in supernatural shit like he does so obviously, they believed every word he said."

They turned left and Taehyung shuddered at the weird statues on either sides of the passage.

"You know, I'm starting to think the boob statue back at that building of yours isn't so weird afterall."

Jimin rolled his eyes.

"Scaredy-cat," he muttered under his breath. 

Taehyung threw him a glare.

"Well, excuse me but did you even see those sculptures? What the fudge? Is that an eye of a person stuck in his asshole?" Taehyung asked and Jimin couldn't help but laugh at his traumatized tone.

"Yep, looks like it."

"Why the fuck would someone even do that?"

"There's always a meaning behind these sculptures, Tae."

"And what meaning does that hold? Look what goes in your ass?"

"What the fudge?"

"This is some messed up shit, I tell you," Taehyung complained with a disgusted expression as his eyes took in another sculpture.
