Ghosts!

Split In Half

The haunted house was more simple than the boys expected it to be. Just like any other haunted house, you walk through many hallways that lead you from room to room, giving you no choice but to walk around the whole haunted house to get to the very end. 

"You go in first." Hyuk nudged Hongbin, who was currently leading the group, forward into the first room that the hallway has lead them to. 

Suddenly, loud rattling could be heard on the wooden window beside them, causing for half the boys to scream in shock. 

"Yah! Use the front door, not the window!" Chanyeol angrily yelled, trying to lighten the mood as he knocked on the window as well. 

The window rattled once again, but this time, it seemed like it was about to break. 

Chanyeol jumped away from the window, his body slightly shaking from being startled twice. He leaned towards Baram, ignoring the quiet chuckle the other boy let out because of him.

"Do you think there are actual ghosts in here?" Junior asked as they all walked into the first room cautiously.

Hongbin looked at Junior. "There could be."

"There's no such things as ghosts." Jungkook said in a low voice.

A sudden high pitched scream echoed all around them, startling all the boys and causing for them to look at their surroundings with wide eyes.

"Don't say things like that!" Jimin harshly whispered as he lightly slapped Jungkook on the arm.

Daehyun gulped and nodded at the bed. "If you're curious about whether there are real ghosts, check the bed."

Rome raised an eyebrow as he looked towards the bed in the corner of the room, noticing a slight lump underneath the white blanket.

"So, which one of you ladies wants to go check?" Xiumin smirked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Why don't you go and check?" Youngjae suggested, moving close to Daehyun. "Besides, you're not scared right?"

Xiumin pouted in protest. "Just because I'm not scared, doesn't mean I have to go do it. That's not very fair."

"Fine. Let's do this then." Kangjun ushered everyone back into the hallway and positioned everyone into a huddle. "Why don't we play a simple game of rock-paper-scissors and whoever loses needs to go check the bed."

JB raised an eyebrow at Kangjun. "What are we, five years old?" 

Kangjun rolled his eyes in annoyance. "If you don't play, it means you volunteer to go and check the bed."

"Let's just play." Junior said, nudging JB on the side.

JB sighed and nodded hesitantly. He didn't mind playing a game of rock-paper-scissors; he was just hoping that his good luck wouldn't leave him now because he did not want to lose and have a chance at encountering a ghost.

"Everybody ready?" Kangjun met eyes with each of the boys, earning a small nod from them. He took a deep breath and held out his fist, the other boys following after him. "Rock. Paper. Scissors!" He yelled out, his hand opened to show paper.

Rome, Hongbin, Xiumin, Chanyeol, Baram, Sungjae, Youngjae, and Daehyun held out scissors while Jimin, Jungkook, V, Ilhoon, JB, Junior, FeelDog, and Hyuk were showing paper. 

" yes!" Chanyeol cheered, he and the rest of the boys who won giving each other high fives and leaving the huddle. 

Jimin bit his lip, worried that he would be the one to check the bed. He looked up at Jungkook and V, noticing the small but encouraging smiles on their faces. He forced a small smile on his face as well as he looked down, moving his fist up and down along with Kangjun's voice and holding out his fist to show rock afterwards.

He looked at everyone's hand, noticing that they all had held out different things which meant they had to do it again.

The boys all looked at each other and got ready for another round. 

Kangjun took another deep breath, feeling a sudden tension rise in the air. "Rock. Paper. Scissors!" He chanted again, holding out the same thing he had the previous round; rock.

Along with him, Junior, Hyuk, FeelDog, Ilhoon, Jungkook and V also held out rock while Jimin and JB held out scissors. The boys who won let out relieved sighs, following the other boys and making a circle around the remaining two boys.

If Jimin was only a little worried before, he was really worried now. He looked up and met eyes with JB, noticing how much the other boy didn't want to lose either. 

The two boys tried to calm their beating hearts as they held out their fists, glancing at Kangjun to continue chanting the game.

Kangjun nodded and all the boys stared at Jimin and JB's hand. "Rock. Paper. Scissors!" He yelled out.

Both Jimin and JB held out paper, causing for them both to let out deep breaths. 

Kangjun called it out again, the two boys holding out paper together again. This went on three more times as Jimin and JB kept showing the same thing, causing for the tension around them to grow even more.

"Okay, this is the last time. If you guys show the same thing again, you're both going to check the bed together." Kangjun explained.

"That's not very fair either." FeelDog spoke up, Jimin and JB nodding in agreement.

Kangjun shrugged. "It's better than going alone right?" He looked at Jimin and JB.

The two boys let that idea sink in, looking at each other and agreeing that maybe it would be okay to check together. They gave each other small smiles as they held out their fists, waiting for Kangjun to start the last round.

"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"

Jimin and JB looked at one another as they held out which shape they wanted, only looking down to check what they had shown afterwards. They almost cheered in happiness when they showed different things until they looked closer at their hands. Jimin was holding out paper while JB made scissors with his hand; but there was another hand there.

The boys all grew silent as they all looked at the hand with wide eyes. 

Jimin and JB glanced at everyone's hands, noticing that all the other boys had their hands by their side. Jimin and JB looked back towards the hand, slowly looking at each other before turning their heads to look at the space of where the owner of the hand should be. When they saw no possible space was in between Rome and Kangjun, they looked back down and noticed that the hand had disappeared.

JB let out a scream first as he took his hand back, the other boys following afterwards and hugging their respected partners. Jimin immediately wrapped his arms around Jungkook, burying his head in the other's shoulder as he tried to calm his beating heart. 

"Holy ! Holy ! There's real ghosts here!" Chanyeol cried out, his arms wrapped tightly around Xiumin for protection.

"Calm down." Baram told Chanyeol, an arm wrapped around Feeldog's shoulder as he tried to calm down the other boy. 

"Whose idea was this again?" Kangjun glared at Rome.

Rome scratched the back of his neck, trying to avoid all the eyes that were staring at him.

Jimin held his breath, looking into the first room and feeling all the goose bumps forming on his arms at the thought of ghosts. 

Jungkook could see the slight look of fear in Jimin's eyes. He sighed and looked at Rome and Kangjun. "It doesn't matter who planned this. All we have to do now is get out of here."

Ilhoon nodded his head in agreement. "I second that."

"Okay, so who's going to lead?" Sungjae asked, causing for all the boys to snap their heads towards Rome.

Rome looked at everyone with slightly wide eyes. "Why me?" He exclaimed in a somewhat whining tone.

Kangjun rolled his eyes at Rome. "Because you're the cause of all this. So move it." He replied before pushing Rome forward towards the entrance of the room.

Rome pouted angrily. " you guys."

All the boys formed a short line behind Rome, standing in pairs with their cell phone in hand as they directed the flashlight forward to light the way for Rome.

"Here goes nothing." Rome took a deep breath and took the first step back into the room, looking around with extra cautious eyes and walking with careful steps. 

The boys followed after him, their eyes continuously moving to check their surroundings. 

"Are you okay so far?" Jungkook whispered into Jimin's ear, earning a small nod from the other boy. 

The boys found themselves in a new hallway again, safely getting passed the first room.

Hyuk loosened his grip on his phone. "That wasn't so bad." He commented calmly.

"That is just the beginning." Youngjae said, nodding at the next room they were coming to.

"Well ." Daehyun muttered, holding his boyfriend even closer to him -if that was even possible-. 

Rome slightly peeked his head in the room, doing a quick check before stepping inside and pulling Kangjun to stay beside him. 

This room seemed to be filled with a dark aura unlike the other room. It was a very simple and traditional looking Korean living room with a wooden table in the middle and beautifully drawn paintings hung up on the walls. Unfortunately, the exit of the room was found all the way on the other side. 

"Is it just me or this room is screaming scary?" Junior said, leaning closer to JB.

The boys didn't bother answering Junior as they all walked along the walls of the room, trying their best to stay away from the middle.

The high pitched scream echoed around the room once again, causing for all the boys to slightly jump and to stop moving.

"That ing scream." Hongbin breathed out, lighting his flashlight around the room just in case a ghost was to pop out of nowhere.

Suddenly, a huge gush of wind blew them over, catching some of them by surprise. All the boys fell forward, dropping their cell phones in the process. 

"Is everyone okay?" Kangjun asked, glancing at all the boys.

"I am not--" Sungjae was cut off when all their cell phones turned off, the only light source they had disappearing. 

Baram managed to grab his phone in the dark, knowing that it was his by the way the casing felt. "What the ? My phone had at least seventy percent of battery left."

FeelDog grabbed his phone as well, trying to turn his phone back on but it wouldn't open. "Mine won't open either." He said, looking at the silhouettes of the boys around him.

"What the is going--" Kangjun started but was cut off again by the same high pitched scream that they have been hearing ever since they stepped into the haunted house.

Bright flashing light began occurring around the room, causing for all the boys to look at each other with squinted eyes. The high pitched scream echoed around the room again, but this time, it seemed to be much louder and longer. The boys brought their hands up to their ears, trying to block out the sound as they all looked around the room just in case something was to pop out.

The flashing lights stopped as the scream finished. The boys slowly brought their hands down, not understanding what was going on.

Suddenly, the lights flashed on and the figure of a floating girl in a black dress was positioned in the middle of the room. The boys all grew wide eyed and the lights turned off once again and their phones came back to life, the girl disappearing as well.

Ilhoon was the first to scream and get up while taking a hold of his phone, using the other phones as his path to run towards the exit of the room. The other boys quickly followed, grabbing their phones along the way as well. 

"What the just happened back there!" FeelDog exclaimed, being the last to come out of the room and into the hallway where everyone was still trying to understand the situation as they all tried to calm themselves.

"One thing is for sure." V said, looking down at his phone and noticing that he had a lot of battery left. "There are real ghosts here."

Jimin slightly froze in place. *Real ghosts? If I can't even handle watching horror movies, how could I handle real ghosts?* He thought, feeling a cold shiver run down his spine.

Daehyun looked at Rome. "Did your friend happen to tell you how many rooms are in this haunted house?" 

Rome sighed and shook his head in reply.

Sungjae scoffed. "Some friend." He muttered sarcastically.

"Isn't there another way out of here that doesn't involve having to go through the whole haunted house?" Chanyeol asked in a somewhat embarrassed tone. "I just really don't want to go through that again..."

Jimin mumbled a silent 'me too', avoiding the eyes of Jungkook and V as the two boys glanced at him. 

"We probably have no other choice but to go through the haunted house." Kangjun said, looking at Chanyeol and Jimin apologetically.

Jungkook grabbed a hold of Jimin's hand, giving it a little squeeze of encouragement. "Don't worry Jimin. Me and V are here for you." 

"Thank you." Jimin replied, a small smile planted on his lips. 

Jimin felt arms wrap around him from the back and he assumed that it was V, until the arms suddenly pulled him backwards out of balance which caused him to drop his phone. 

"Jimin! Jungkook!" V yelled, watching as his two lovers were pulled into the next room, the door sliding shut afterwards. 

V ran to the door, banging on it continuously as he yelled out Jimin and Jungkook's names. He tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge at all, frustration running inside of him. The other boys all followed afterwards, looking around the door in search of a way to open it.

Jimin and Jungkook groaned as they struggled to get up, arms wrapped around each other tightly once they were standing. 

"Jimin! Jungkook! Are you okay?"

Jungkook looked towards the door, his heart beating fast as he glanced down at Jimin. "We're fine!" He yelled back. 

"We'll get you out of there!" And with that, V stopped banging on the door as he helped the other boys try to find another way to open the door.

Jimin buried his face deep in Jungkook's shoulder, fear running through him as the thought of real ghosts entered his mind again.

Jungkook scanned the room and shone his flashlight around them, noticing that it looked the same as the previous room they were in except the paintings were different and there was no table in the middle of the room. 

A strong wind blew over them as the paintings started to shake, a few of them crashing down to the ground. A small fog began forming around their feet, making the ground seem invisible. 

Jimin was extremely scared now and all he could think of was dying from fear. He tried to ignore everything else as he focused his mind on Jungkook, taking a deep breath as he got ready to confess the truth in hopes that it would help get his mind off the fear he was feeling.

"Jungkook..." Jimin whispered.

The paintings shook even harder and Jungkook's phone died, the room going completely dark. 

Jungkook lightly cursed, trying to turn his phone back on but even if he kept pressing on the power button, it wouldn't come back to life. He sighed and slipped his phone into his pocket, wrapping his arms even tighter around Jimin. Jungkook began to feel nervous, his heart racing from worry. Instead of being scared of ghosts, he was more worried about something happening to him and Jimin. 

"Jungkook." Jimin repeated, closing his eyes and listening to Jungkook's fast beating heart. "I really liked that chocolate you bought me when you confessed. When we get out of here, can you buy me more?"

Jungkook's eyes widened as he looked down at Jimin. "W-what?"

Jimin lightly chuckled. "I'm so happy I gave both you and V a chance." He said, looking up at Jungkook and trying to make out the expression the other boy probably had. "I love you Jungkook..." He finished in a whisper.

Jungkook could feel the tears forming in his eyes. "You remember..." He reached up and ran his thumb over Jimin's cheeks. "Yah! !" He called out, looking over his shoulder at the door. "He remembers! Jimin remembers his memories!"

"What! He does?" The excitement and shock could be heard in V's voice.

"He remembers!" Jungkook smiled widely, forgetting about the situation they were in as he looked back towards Jimin. "I love you so much Jimin." He whispered lovingly, moving his thumb to run over Jimin's lips instead.

Slowly and unexpectedly, Jungkook leaned down and pressed his lips against Jimin's in a soft kiss. 

Jimin's eyes widened as he felt the marshmallow like lips of Jungkook on his own. *He's... kissing me...* He thought, feeling his heart skip a bit as it continued to beat fast because of both fear and Jungkook's actions. Jimin closed his eyes and moved his lips, feeling Jungkook smile into the kiss.

Suddenly, the strong wind came over them again and a pair of arms pushed them apart from each other. 

Jimin and Jungkook both fell backwards, the two of them letting out loud groans as their bodies slammed against the ground.

Jungkook let out a deep breath and slowly sat up, opening his eyes and blinking back his vision. He still couldn't see well in the dark but he could feel a presence in front of him. A pair of cold hands grabbed either side of his face and a childlike voice was chanting his name as it echoed into his ears, making him uncomfortable as it felt like it was the presence in front of him that was doing it.  

"Stop!" He yelled, pushing the hands away as he covered his ears to block out the sound. 

Jungkook wasn't scared of ghosts and that was true, but he hated the sound of a child's voice chanting his name. When he was about eight years old, he would often play hide and seek with his older brother and whenever he was hiding, his older brother would chant his name while looking for him, making him feel scared and his heart beat fast from fear of being found. 

Jungkook snapped his eyes shut, his knees against his chest as the sound still echoed in his ears. "Stop! Stop!" He yelled out, his heart beating even faster than it already was.

The chanting stopped, making the room silent as Jimin continued to look forward with worried eyes, the lights flickering on in the room and the back of a figure coming into his sight. He noticed how the figure was squatting in front of a scared looking Jungkook. 

"You're still scared of that?" The figure spoke in an amused tone.

Jungkook could feel a familiar feeling run through him, knowing exactly who that voice belonged to. He opened his eyes, trying to adjust to the sudden light as he looked at the person in front of him.

"Minhyuk hyung?" Jungkook said with wide eyes.

Minhyuk chuckled, the door sliding open and all the boys ran into the room, confusion crossing over their faces as they looked around the room. 

"I missed you my adorable little brother." Minhyuk smiled sweetly at Jungkook before turning around to look at all of the other boys. "I hope I didn't scare you guys too much, but I wanted to pull a prank on my brother."

Jungkook finally understood everything; the messages, the haunted house, and the reason to why his brother would do this.

"Who are you?" V asked with a raised eyebrow.

Minhyuk chuckled as he grinned widely. "I'm Jeon Minhyuk, Jungkook's awesome brother!"

"Brother?!"
