Beep…Beep…Beep…

I opened my eyes. I felt hurt everywhere. “Where am I…” I looked around the room I was in. I realized I was in a hospital room; and the injured one was me. Various parts of my body were in a cast, including my head. “What the hell happened?!” I thought, while a doctor came in the room.

“Kim Kibum-ssi…” he started, sadly. “You suffered a major concussion... And you broke most of your limbs… I’m afraid you don’t have much longer to live.”

“What…?” I couldn’t think. I couldn’t move. “What happened to me?!”

The doctor looked down. “The rollercoaster you were on…Malfunctioned. And your friend…”

“…J-Jonghyun?!”

“Yes…I’m afraid…He passed away.”

--

I woke up.

“That was a pretty vivid dream…Er, nightmare.” I sat up in my bed, wiping my cold sweat off with the back of my hand. I heard the beeping from my dream again. I looked to my side.

“It’s just my phone…” I picked it up.

<<57 NEW MESSAGES>>

“What?!” 

<< From: Jjong

<<From: Jjong

<<From: Jjong

GET UP>>

I sighed. “This guy…” I got out of bed and had a quick shower. I ran downstairs and put my shoes on.

“Umma! I’m going to hang out with a friend!” I called, and opened the door.

There he was, sitting on the ground, clutching his cell phone, fast asleep.

I gave out another annoyed sigh.  “Jonghyun…” I shook him a bit.

“Ngh…”

“Jjong, get up. Don’t you want to go to the amusement park?”

“…”

“Aish…You’re so annoying.” I scratched the back of my head.

Jonghyun sat there, not moving an inch or batting an eyelid. “His eyelashes are pretty…”

“…Honey, get up.” I said, thinking he was still asleep.

All of a sudden Jonghyun burst out in laughter. I stood up, blushing. “You were awake?! Aish!”

Jonghyun opened his eyes and stretched out his arms to me. “Good morning, honey!”

Embarrassed, I pulled him up. “Shall we go?” he just asked with a smile.

--

Once we arrived at the amusement park, we walked around for a bit; looking at the different rides, shows and such… Of course, it was 10AM on a Tuesday, so there wasn’t much to be seen.

Jonghyun pulled my sleeve. “Kibum,” he pointed. “Let’s ride that rollercoaster.”

The word ‘rollercoaster’ echoed in my mind, bringing me back to my nightmare. “It’s just a dream.”

“Alright, fine.” So we stood in line for a bit.

“Kibum. Look.” I turn to see them. “Joy.”

Taemin ran up to us, screaming “HYUNG!!” while flailing his arms like a maniac. He was followed by Jinki-hyung and Minho.

“What are you guys doing here?” Jonghyun asked.

“Teacher said we were allowed to play for a bit today,” Taemin replied. “As long as we come back later to train.”

 “He let you?”

“Of course,” Minho started. “We did ask for permission, unlike some other individuals…” he said, looking in my direction. I glared at him back.

“Why don’t we all hang out together then?” Jonghyun suggested. I quietly groaned, but he didn’t seem to notice.

“Alright!”

--

After riding numerous rides and attractions, we stopped by a haunted house attraction. Taemin, who was walking in front, stopped and slowly turned towards us, with a huge grin on his face.

“Hyungs… Should we?”

“I don’t know…” Jinki-hyung said, with his mouth full of snacks he bought earlier.

“C’mon! I don’t think it’ll be that scary!”

“Taemin,” Minho said. “I think out of all of us, you’ll be the most scared.”

“Ah, I won’t! I know they’re not real hyung.” He started to pout.

“Fine. Since everyone has to go one at a time, who wants to go first?”

“…”

“Then let’s draw.” Minho pulls out his phone, and opens a randomizer app.

We all watched as the app shuffled between our names; finally it stopped at Jinki-hyung.

As soon as he read his name, he started to choke. Taemin whacked him in the back repeatedly.

“Let’s go hyung,” Minho chuckled. We all clapped as he walked in the haunted house, clutching himself for comfort.

“Alright, let’s see who’s next.”

“Jonghyun.”

“Taemin.”

“Kibum.”

“Minho.”

When it was my turn, I walked into the house only to meet darkness. It was silent.

“This is creepy…”

Then I heard something. I stopped.

“Whoo~”

I looked in all directions; but I couldn’t see anything but the dark.

“Whoo~”

I gulped. I stepped backwards a bit, when I bumped into something…Or someone.

All of a sudden, I was met face-to-face with the most horrifying face I have ever seen in my life; Minho’s.

He stared, wide-eyed, while I screamed out my lungs.

“What,” he said, startled. “Are you doing? It’s just me.”

“I know,” I puffed. “You scared the out of me.”

“Sheesh.” He scratched his head. “Let’s just go already. They’re probably waiting for us.”

“Don’t tell me what to do.” I said, and walked ahead of him.

“Wait.” I felt my hand being grabbed. “I need to—“

Annoyed, I retorted, “Let go of my hand!”

“Huh? I’m not holding your hand.”

“…”

“BLARGH!” The most hideous monster ever popped out between us. This time, both Minho and I screamed. We both ran for our lives, but Minho outran me and I tripped.

“YOU MINHO!” I called after him. I started to get up, when I felt an immense pain in my right foot.

“! Sprained ankle, probably…” I sighed, and sat down on the floor to wait for help.

A few minutes later, I heard Jonghyun’s voice. “Kibum? Kibum, where are you?”

“I’m over here.” In a distance, I saw a cell phone screen. Jonghyun soon came up to me, using his phone for light.

“What happened?” He kneeled beside me.

“I think I sprained my ankle.”

“WHAT?” Jonghyun’s voice echoed a bit. “How are you supposed to practice now?”

“Dunno. Just help me up, would you?”

“Oh. Right.”
