Static Electricity
The Golden Hotel 3 (골든 호텔 3)
----The Next Morning----
In Room 1236, Kris, Chen, D.O and Kai stared at Tao.
"Admit it, Tao!" Chen nudged Tao teasingly. "You did history with her!"
He didn't answer. Tao just rubbed his nape, looking away with a hesitant look. Kai then agreed with Chen. "Why else would she rest more and why is your upper lip sore?!" he pointed at Tao's slightly visible bump.
Tao blushed hard, biting his lips. "I bit my lip, that is all. . . ."
"No~ you bit your upper lip from rough kisses~" D.O grinned mischievously, wiggling his eyebrows.
Kris on the other hand, couldn't help but to smile widely, crossing his arms to bite his right finger. "Tao? We heard
"What! Impossible-" "Wrong side of the room, Tao. . . ." Tao closed his mouth from reacting, but it was too late. Everyone gave low howlings.
Kai smirked. "We heard her screaming in our room!" he gestured his hand towards D.O, then he palmed his cheeks from remembering some of the loud moans.
D.O jumped up and down like a silly boy. "We couldn't sleep at all from those screams! It wasn't that audible but we can hear it." he then covered his ears. "We had to sleep out but Kris hyung and Chen hyung asked us why we were looking at each other awkwardly at the living room while hugging our pillows!"
"And that's where Kris hyung and I poked our ears on the wall to hear the sounds." Chen nodded with an amused smile.
Tao felt like shrinking right now. "Can you all please stop it? I am very embarrassed now." he covered his face. He then changed the topic. "For all of your informations, I proposed to her."
"WHAT?!"
"Whooooooa~ How are you guys going to get married?" Kris raised an eyebrow. "Or you at least planned to get engaged?"
"Yes." Tao nodded then he sighed. "Why not? I mean. . . .we're all dying in this cursed hotel." it was all that he could say. He wanted to explain more, but he rather stay silent.
Interesting turn of events?
I feel like killing the child in her womb in the end. . . .
Oh the drama. . . .hahaha.
Heartless. . . .
The mood suddenly changed after that. Chen then started a different topic. "Kris ge? Will I really die next? I am really nervous. Look at how many days are left." he frowned.
"Any new clues?" Kai asked curiously.
Everybody exchanged hopeful looks. Kris recollected his thoughts before revealing what he should tell them. Among them is the killer and by one wrong move, he might change plans. "Yes, we figured out new clues and somehow. . . . .it's already confirmed. Numbers." Kris looked at a certain someone, but he quickly looked at the others.
Bingo.
Although. . . .I did something confusing.
"Numbers?" D.O raised an eyebrow.
"We prefer not to tell it.
"But why not now?" Kai suggested. "Anyway, so it really means the dying order is correct?"
Kris nodded. "Mhmm. . . .although, something wasn't really right."
"What do you mean?" Chen got curious.
"There could be fake deaths." Tao said frankly.
"Really?!" all of them looked surprised.
Maybe.
"The death that we couldn't see was Chanyeol hyung's, right? Baekhyun hyung's too!" Kai pointed out.
"Lay hyung?" D.O pointed Lay out also but they saw him die.
"Possible." Kris shrugged his shoulders.
"It doesn't make any sense at all if he does." Chen frowned.
Tao also shrugged. "Well, we won't really know until something happens."
"What happens?" Kai got puzzled.
"You ask too many questions, Kai." Kris eyed him. "Wait and see."
"I was only curious. . . " he looked pissed.
"Curiosity can kill." Tao said firmly while eyeing him.
D.O and Chen gulped down at Tao's seriousness. He had a threatening look on his face that made the three speechless, especially Kai. No more further informations were discussed on that day and also the following day.
Confused?
Hahaha. . . .
----4th Day----
When they all woke up, they all found a note on their suite doors. Of course, the time was still the same and the pairings were by partners. Tao is with D.O, Kris is with Chen, and Kai is with
"I really have a bad feeling about this." Chen nervously bit his bottom lip.
"Why are we asked to go down the basement?" D.O thought hard.
"The gaming place is there?" Kai rather said it in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Kai, what I meant was WHY." D.O emphazied the last word.
Chen eyed her awkwardly. "You mad?~"
She closed her eyes and shook her head. "Argh~ don't mind me. I'm just pissed from thinking of something."
Tao went beside her to place a hand on her head and turn her gaze at him. "You should relax or else I'll punish you." he smirked.
Her cheeks flustered. "Shh! Will you stop that smirk of yours!" she attempted to slap him but Tao went out of the way, chuckling.
Kai shivered, flailing his arms and legs away. "Groooss~ please stop being lovely dovey in front of our eyes~"
"Yeesh~" D.O also shivered.
Kris then came out of their room to get ready with them but he was also smirking. He actually heard their conversation. "Let them be cheesy with each other."
Chen snorted. "Ants are crawling."
"All of you are just jealous." Tao pulled
"Tao!"
Chen and Kai playfully linked arms together to walk away of the scene, but they were singing to provoke the couple. "I need you and you want me! In this planet called the earth! Oh oh! Oh Oh! Every, every, everyday~ la la la la Historyyyyy!!!~"
"YAH!" she removed Tao's arms away to chase them down the hallway. "Why are you like that to your noona, Kai?!"
Kai turned his head around. "I ain't sooooorry- Waaah!!!" he then ran off after seeing
"You too, Chen oppa!"
"Nooo!" Chen avoided her hands and then he ran off with Kai.
"Guys/
After awhile, all of them took the elevator to go down the hotel's lounge. It's been a long week since they've been there. The door of the elevator opened up and out they went to the lounge. When they got there, everybody wondered where the door to the basement is located.
"How can we actually know where the basement is located?" D.O scratched his head, looking around the area.
"Authorized Personnel Only?" Tao thought of an idea.
Kris looked at Tao for the idea. "Oh that's a start. We should search around the lobby."
Everybody tried looking for any doors that could lead down to the basement but there was no luck of finding one, and so they gathered around again.
"I am guessing of secret trap doors again."
"You know? This game is getting creepy." Chen shivered. "And we have to go through this before I die."
"Shh!" D.O hushed Chen. "Don't say that, hyung!"
"D.O hyung is right." Kai agreed. "What if we search for the impossible?" he then suggested.
"Eh~ impossible?" D.O arches an eyebrow.
"Looking for a secret trap door?"
Everybody went inside and gathered around behind her. Just by looking at the dark pit with a ladder going down, Tao nearly wanted to back out. ". . . . .Darkness. Again."
She turned her head around to look at Tao with a smirk. "You honestly want to back out, right? Well, there's no turning back."
Kris looked at Tao then patted his shoulder. "Better get over with your fear-"
"-of ghooooooooooosts!!!" Chen trolled to scare Tao.
"Gege!!!" Tao almost wanted to hit Chen but he whined instead.
"Mad Mrs. Panda Huang~" Kai chimed in.
"Guys! Can we just go down? It's almost 4PM!" D.O panicked about the time.
"I'll go first then."
"Noona! Me!" Kai followed her then Tao suddenly went after him.
"I'll go, I'll go!"
"Okay, I'll follow my partner!" Chen followed Tao.
"You go ahead." Kris gestured his hand towards the ladder and so D.O went after Chen. Lastly, Kris went down and followed the rest.
Having to climb all the way down in a room with dim lights, they finally reached the ground with their sanity all good. In front of them was another door that will lead them to another room.
"Yikes!"
"Are you alright?!" Tao looked at her anxiously. "Did it hurt you?"
"It scared me!" she whined, looking at her palm. "That inflicted some pain too!"
"Was it bearable?" Kris asked before glancing at the silver doorknob.
She nodded. "Yes. It just scared me. My goodness."
Kai stared at the doorknob then he pulled Chen's arm towards it. "You touch it!" he guided his hand to touch it.
"ANIYA!!!" Chen withdrew his hand away. "I am scared after what happened! You touch it!"
"No, you touch it!" Kai insisted.
"Will you guys quit it?" Kris scrunched his eyebrows.
D.O was looking around and when he looked up, he saw a note stuck on top of the doorway. He then pointed upwards. "Kris hyung! A note! Reach for it!"
"What?" Kris tilted his head upwards and saw the note. So he tip toed a bit to grab it. "Now what does this say?" he unfolded the paper and everyone gathered around to read it.
Hahahaha!
Static anyone?
In order to open the door. . . .
You must make a human chain.
Be sure when you do. . . .
You won't feel any pain until the last person.
After reading,
D.O squinted his eyes. "I don't like your smirk."
"You sound amused as well, noona." Kai also squinted his eyes.
"This game is actually fun."
"Are you hearing yourself?!" Chen's jaw dropped, his voice moving up a pitch.
She glared at him. "Yes, I can hear myself saying this game is actually fun, again."
"We heard her right." Tao crossed his arms.
Kris then cleared his throat. "Anyway, the question is why?"
"Probably you guys should be thinking to yourselves that this is Part One of the game. The safe one."
Chen grunted. "Part Two is the dangerous one?"
"Naturally."
"Oh great!" Chen threw his arms in the air in disbelief, turning around to pace back and then forth to his original place. "One hit K.O. for me."
"So we have to hold each others hands and then the door will open?" Tao cleared the objectives.
Kris nodded. "Yeah." then he shrugged his shoulders. "We don't know if it has some features installed in it or a some sort of sensor again to let the device know we did it right."
"How will it know we were even right when we will just hold our hands together?" Kai curiously asked.
"Good point." D.O agreed with Kai. "Or we're just being watched?"
Her sentence was cut off when Chen placed his hands on her shoulder to shook her slowly like a doll. "Why oh why did you forgohohohooot?! I'm going to die todahahahaaay~"
"I-I said I-I will try to recall it d-during our process!" she screamed near his face. "Now, stop it!"
Tao's eyes widened in shock because of her behavior and so he had to pull her in his arms. "Chill!"
Chen whined. "
"His sanity is breaking." Kris stared at Chen if he should pity him.
D.O approached Chen in fear while he was playing around with it. Chen then turned his head around and got curious whether or not to touch D.O, but he did and touched his right arm for a second without a warning. "Touch."
A sudden painful shock of electric current ran through his skin, and it was somehow painful around the hairs of his arm. "OUCH!!!" D.O yelped, throwing his arm in the air to get away from Chen's grasp as he jumped away and around the area.
Kai tried calming D.O down by blocking his jumps from his back, but when his left arm brushed the clothing of D.O, he too got a taste of the shock. "YAAAH!!!" Kai jumped out of D.O's way, flailing his right arm. "That really huhuhuuuurt~"
Kris tried touching Kai's right arm quickly but he felt nothing. "I don't feel it anymore."
Chen, D.O and Kai looked at Kris surprisingly. "Really?"
Tao released
Sneakily, Chen touched D.O again while they were looking at Kai. "Zap."
"OUCH!!!" D.O jolted away from Chen and because of that, he tripped on his own legs and then he fell on the ground with a thud, wincing in pain. "Double ouuuch~"
Kris and Kai gasped. "Kyungsoo!!!" they helped him off the floor.
"What is wrong with you?" Tao got puzzled at
"I'm sorry." she straightened her face. "That was mean."
"Hyung! That was really mean." D.O scowled after being helped to get off the floor.
Chen tried holding in his smile. "I'm sorry! It was. . . . actually fun." he then released his grip on the doorknob.
Hearing Chen's comment,
Tao scrunched his eyebrows, then he smothered his right palm on her face softly. "
"Ah! Tao!" she moved backwards and then she pouted.
"Anyway." Kris went back to the game. "Chen? Touch the doorknob again and then hold hands with D.O and then to Kai."
D.O protested. "It really hurts more than what Kai will feel!"
"We cannot proceed to the next room if we stay idle more." Kris said in a firm voice.
"Uhm, yes sir." Kai pushed D.O towards Chen to do it already. "Do exactly what he says!"
"I'll go, I'll go!" D.O whined.
Everybody now watched Chen taking a hold of the doorknob again. He was somehow familiar with the feeling so he looked at D.O. "Ready?"
D.O bit his lips nervously then he extended his left arm to hold Chen's left hand. Without warning, Chen held D.O's hand "AAAAH~" he got startled, wincing in pain when he felt his hand getting pricked with many tiny needles. "That was strong. Your turn." he turned his head to look at Kai.
"Okay." Kai opened his left hand for D.O to hold. The moment he did, D.O held Kai's hand, sending the next electric current to flow in his body. He jolted a bit, feeling the shock less. "It still hurts a bit."
"I'll hold your hand." Kris volunteered to be the next person so he showed his left hand to Kai. He then touched his hand and Kris felt the shock less. "I felt it somehow. Tao?" he then reached for Tao's left hand and touched it.
"Oh." Tao blinked twice. "I don't feel anything."
"I guess we're not in the right order?" Kris released his grip on Tao and Kai, and then the rest did so too.
"A what generator?" Tao asked for the device's name again.
"Van de Graaff Generator! Invented by Robert J. Van de Graaff."
Chen then covered his nose with a finger under it. "Nosebleed."
"What did she saaaaay???" Kai's eyes widened in awe.
"Mind blowingly awesoooome~" D.O's mouth hanged open as he stared at
Clever girl as always.
WTF?
