chapter XXVIII: escape
the aster and the sunflower.4 months had passed and they were close to finishing up the wedding preparations, it’s a short amount of time but Jisoo had been planning their wedding since her senior year in high school so please don’t judge. Rosé chose Jennie as her maid of honor while Jisoo chose Lisa; Their parents were set to fly to New York next month, so before their families come over to bombard them with questions, Dahyun took the opportunity to set a Bachelorette’s party for Jisoo and Rosé.
“What is this?” Lisa asked the very moment they entered an old abandoned building
“I knew it! You’re trying to kill us! Chop us up into pieces and feed us to the goats!” Jisoo exclaimed
Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, BamBam and Dahyun looked at Jisoo weirdly.
“The…goats?” Bambam stated
“Don’t. Just don’t even ask. She’s like that…just…let’s just go” Lisa said
They were then greeted by a cheerful young lad who wore tight jeans, a yellow sweater with a nametag “HI, I’M NATE”, he even had perfect teeth, he looked sure looked like a possible murderer.
“Hello! Welcome to the Escape Room!” Nate said
Lisa cowered at her spot while Jennie clung onto her girlfriend. Jisoo grinned whilst Rosé giggled at Dahyun idea of a Bachelorette’s party.
“That’s right, es and aho, this Bachelorette party will not include male strippers and drinking hard alcoholic drinks that’ll just give us intense headaches in the morning. Tonight we are doing this!” Dahyun said as she smiled so widely at her plan
“You want us dead, don’t you?” Jennie asked
But Dahyun just giggled at her.
“We’ll survive this, guys” Jisoo assured them
“And what happens if we die?” Lisa asked, her hands were starting to get cold and clammy, if these symptoms persist then she’s gonna have to diagnose herself with some kind of severe cardiovascular disease or something
“We won’t die” Dahyun said, Lisa didn’t believe her of course.
“Basically all you have to do is escape each room you’re trapped in. There are series of locks that you have to solve in order to find a key to get out of a certain room. There are red beam lights that’ll serve as a sign of where to go” Nate said
“Are there like cameras that’ll capture our ed up faces?” Jennie asked
“There are cameras but I’m certain you won’t be able to find it since it’s too dark inside” Nate said
“Are you challenging me, puny human?” Dahyun said as she glared at Nate
“Ten bucks if you won’t find any” Lisa said, Jennie groaned at her girlfriend for making another bet that’ll surely make her lose 10 bucks
“You’re on, Manoban!” Dahyun said
“Alright, future brides, let’s get this thing started!” BamBam exclaimed
…
Lisa gulped as her hand tightened around Jennie’s hand, both of them were scared wussies and the idea of going inside an escape did not sound pleasing to both of them, though Jennie was a bit okay with it since she had played numerous horror games that gave a lot of jump scares, specially “Sophie’s Curse”, but an escape room was different, because this time they would be dealing with it in person, no controls, keyboards and computer screens to serve as their salvation. This time they only have each other; they basically have a hyperventilating florist, an anxious gamer, a determined BamBam, a happy Jisoo and an excited Chaeyoung.
“Good luck” Nate said as he showed them to the door
It was a wooden door; it looked normal, nothing creepy. Lisa thinks this is actually fine.
Boy was she wrong.
They entered the door and they were met with darkness. IT WAS PITCH BLACK.
“Oh no, no, no, no, no” Lisa said as she tried to go out of the door but it slammed right in front of her face
“You told us this was an escape room! Not hell!” Lisa exclaimed
Jisoo laughed their youngest.
“Let’s just try to find something here” Jisoo said
“How?! We don’t exactly have night vision! I’m ing blind” Lisa yelled
Despite the darkness, BamBam and Jisoo were keen on finding something, like a light switch maybe, or a lamp, Rosé and Dahyun on the other hand, were on the floor trying to look for a key.
“Are these bars? Are we like…in prison?” Dahyun said as she stood up and ran her hands around steel bars, Jisoo navigated her way through the dark and found the steel bars as well.
“So there must be a key somewhere” Jisoo said
“Find the goddamn key already!” Lisa exclaimed
Rosé chuckled as she felt around the corners, and just by her right she felt something that resembled like a wooden door. Rosé knocked on it thrice.
“Who the was that?!” This time it was Hysterical Jennie who yelled
“Yah! Calm down, will you?” Jisoo exclaimed
“We’re close to death and you tell me to calm down?! Um…I think the not!” Jennie exclaimed, latching herself onto Lisa
Rosé ignored the bickering and knocked on the door again. On cue, the lights went on, and the two cowards exhaled loudly.
“We did it, we survived” Lisa whispered
“Idiot,
