~ Prologue ~

Night Music

Background Music: I Got 5 On It (Tethered MIX)

"Aish! I just wish I can do something...hate staying at home!" Jimin exclaimed while lounging in his PJs during the evening.

Jimin was bored watching netflix at home and had to stay in lockdown due to the COVID restrictions. After he had been tested positive, he was advised to stay at home for 10 days. His band members sent their regards to Jimmy Fallon and other talk shows in America, since they became internally popular. 

Apart from that, he had been getting dreams of a song playing in the background that changed into something scary before he woke up. He used to like the song: I Got 5 On It by Luniz but then blamed it on his illness due to his fever. 

"DING DONG" The doorbell rang and Jimin looked up on his app which showed a delivery man with a box in his hand.

"Annyeong? Who is this..?" Jimin asked the delivery man.

"I have a package for Park Jimin-Sshi.." The delivery man replied, although his face was covered with a cap and before Jimin could answer, he left the box on the doorstep and went away. Jimin went towards the hallway and opened the door, he looked down and saw a white box with a red bow. 

Jimin took the box and shut the door in his apartment, he placed it on the table and untied the bow which opened the package. He saw a music box unveiled which puzzled him.

"It's not my birthday and definitely not an anniversary..." Jimin muttered to himself and tried to turn the wind up the music box but it was not working. Jimin tried to leave from the table until the box opened itself and played a familiar tune.

"It can't be that tune...!" Jimin looked back and whispered in horror while the music box was still playing that tune. The lights started to turn off while Jimin felt frightened, he took his phone and put the torch on. He went towards the music box until it stopped playing, he reached out his hand inside and felt it struck while he saw a monster's claw drag him inside the box.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Jimin screamed out in terror before he was into the music box, while the music finished playing the last verse of the song....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some people think that life is like a fairy tale, but what if it becomes a nightmare to them.....

We heard of two boys switching places in the Prince and the Pauper, what if one of them was good and the other was truly evil.....

We saw a girl try on a beautiful pair of red shoes to dance away, what if these shoes make you see a grim history.....

We read about a young princess falling a deep sleep, what if she is stuck in a horrible nightmare that she can't escape.....

We felt the beautiful voice of a nightingale, what if she is kept away to hide a horrifying secret

We all grew up with the filtered versions of the fairytales, it's time to re-live the modern yet frightening tales of terror!

Welcome to Tales After Dark 6 (Fairytales of Horror)
