Jin immediately noticed Yoongi and quickly went over to him, whispering, "What's wrong?"

Yoongi hesitated before saying, "It's.. It's dark inside.."

Jin immediately understood the matter as he remembered his fear of darkness. He gently took Yoongi's hand in his, their fingers intertwining tightly. "Don't worry. You don't have to be scared," he reassured him. "Do you want to go home? It's alright."

Yoongi then glanced over at Jungkook and Taehyung, who were laughing inside the room, completely unaware of his fear. The maknae was playfully flashing the light on Taehyung's face, and Taehyung was making funny faces, causing them both to burst into laughter.

Exhaling softly, Yoongi tried to calm himself down. He shook his head. "I'll come too," he said, his voice slightly shaky.

Jin sighed softly, understanding his intentions. "It's okay to feel scared, Yoongi. But know that I'm here for you."

He then leaned in closer. "Stay close to me at all times. And if your fears worsen, just tell me, and we'll leave immediately. No more arguments, okay?" He said softly.

Yoongi nodded, trying to calm himself again, but Jin could feel his hand still trembling under his own. However, before he could say anything, both Jungkook and Taehyung called out to them from inside, "Hyungs! Hurry up!"

"We're coming." Yoongi said, then glanced over at the elder, nodding slightly.

Jin sighed softly once more as he followed behind the maknaes, still holding his hand.

With Taehyung leading the way with his phone flashlight, the group went further into the darkness of the house.

Shadows danced along the walls while the creaking of the floor echoed. The maknaes seemed unbothered as they continued to laugh like idiots.

Meanwhile, Yoongi stayed close to Jin, his grip tightening on his hand with every step they took.

As they roamed around the big hall, they passed by some dusty old portraits hanging on the walls. The faces in the photos seemed to watch them with hollow eyes.

Jungkook pointed at one particularly spooky-looking portrait and joked, "Hey, maybe this guy's the ghost haunting this place!"

Taehyung chuckled. "Don't say that, Jungkook. He will come and get you!"

Jungkook then pointed at another portrait, "I bet this one's the butler who never left, even after he died, staying loyal to his dead master!"

Taehyung laughed. "Yeah, and may be, he's still waiting to serve us tea!"

Both the elders rolled their eyes at them but couldn't suppress a smile.

As they moved deeper into the house, the maknae then pointed at an old mirror and teased, "Hey Tae, looks like you found your twin!"

Taehyung said as he winked, "Yeah, but at least my twin doesn't have as many wrinkles as Jin hyung!"

They both laughed while Yoongi found himself chuckling along them.

Jin shot them a playful glare, pretending to be serious. "Alright, that's enough ghost for tonight, boys. Let's focus on the adventure before the real ghosts show up!"

Tae then pointed to a particularly grand portrait hanging on the wall. "But hyung, look at this! Doesn't this guy look like he could be your long-lost ancestor?"

Jungkook joined in, "Yeah, hyung, maybe you should try that hairstyle. You might look exactly like him."

Jin chuckled. "Oh, so you think I should grow a beard too?"

Tae smirked. "Sure, but only if you can pull off that mustache!"

They all burst into laughter and continued to explore the place.

And as they went up the creaky stairs, a sudden sound came, causing Taehyung to shout loudly while Jungkook jumped in surprise at him.

But then they saw that it was just a couple of rats running on the stairs. Jin couldn't help but tease them. "Come on, you two, scared of a couple of tiny rats?"

Taehyung laughed nervously, while Jungkook tried to play it cool, but his cheeks flushed bright.

Jin chuckled, "Looks like the big, brave explorers are afraid of a little rodent."

Taehyung rolled his eyes while kook tried to play cool, "I wasn't scared, just surprised."

But then, suddenly, the sound of someone's footsteps echoed through the halls, sending shivers down their spines. Taehyung's grip on the flashlight tightened as he whispered, "Did you guys hear that?"

Jungkook nodded, his eyes wide with fear. "It sounded like someone's running upstairs."

"Should we check it out?" Yoongi asked, seemingly bored.

Jin nodded. "Let's stick together and see what's going on."

The maknaes exchanged nervous glances and immediately went behind Jin as Tae handed over the mobile flashlight to him, chuckling nervously.

Jin rolled his eyes at them. "You two are like scaredy-cats," he teased. "But don't worry, hyung's gonna protect you from the big, bad ghosts!"

Yoongi shook his head as he said, "You two are definitely going to have some ghostly nightmares tonight."

Taehyung chuckled nervously while pointing at him, "Speak for yourself, Yoongi hyung. You're the one who's been shivering like a leaf since we got here!"

Jungkook joined in, "Yeah, hyung. Maybe the ghosts will feel sorry for you and leave us alone. And look at you both, holding hands like you guys are in a horror movie," he said. "I bet you are even more scared than us!"

Yoongi shot them a glare while Jin chuckled at them. "Don't worry, Yoongi isn't scared. He's just... being cautious," he defended.

But the maknaes began to gossip among themselves, silently teasing Yoongi. The mafia felt his ears burning with embarrassment and shot Jin a pleading look.

"He's probably shaking in his shoes," Taehyung joked, nudging Jungkook with his elbow.

And as they both continued, Jin raised an eyebrow, "Boys, stop it."

They paused, looking at him with a smirk. The maknae then started with a playful pout. "Look at Jin hyung, protecting his precious sub," he said, pointing towards Yoongi. Then, he turned to Taehyung. "Why aren't you doing the same for me?"

Taehyung rolled his eyes playfully, "Because Jin hyung feels that you're not as cute as Yoongi hyung. And I have to say, you are indeed becoming less cuter than him as days pass by."

Yoongi groaned at that, feeling his cheeks flush even more.

Jin shook his head, "Well, I can't deny facts," he said dramatically, "Yoongi's indeed cute-"

Yoongi cut him off as he hit him on his shoulder while the elder laughed. He then shot him a glare while the boys laughed at them.

Suddenly, they all froze on their spots as the sound of heavy footsteps echoed again.

Jungkook gulped nervously. "I-I feel kind of really scared now."

Tae chuckled nervously, "As if you weren't before."

Jin then lit up the flashlight into the darkness upstairs. "Let's go check it out," he said.

Taehyung and Jungkook exchanged nervous glances but reluctantly followed the two elders.

As they went up the stairs, the group then heard the sound of someone playing the piano, the notes harsh and aggressive.

The maknaes froze in their tracks, their eyes wide with fear. Jungkook whimpered softly, "Jin hyung..."

But Jin urged them to keep moving. "Come on, let's go," he said, leading the way.

And as they passed some rooms, the sound of piano suddenly stopped, leaving behind a silence.

Just as they were about to exhale a sigh of relief, they heard hurried footsteps from downstairs, growing louder with each moment.

The maknaes hurried for Jin to flash the light downstairs and the elder quickly did, only for them to be met with a chilling sight: a white ghost running towards them.

Yoongi raised his eyebrow. "That looks like a person wearing a long white cloth," he said with boredom.

In complete opposite to him, Jungkook and Taehyung's screams pierced the air, their panic palpable as the white figure drew nearer towards them as they are the ones more closer.

The maknae immediately hid himself into his dom, burying his face onto his chest, while Taehyung tightly shut his eyes.

And then there was heavy silence, not even a single sound could be heard.

Taehyung's voice trembled as he called out, still not opening his eyes, "J-Jin hyung? Yoongi hyung?"

But there was no response.

He continued to call out, his voice more desperate. Slowly, he dared to open his eyes, only to find himself alone with Jungkook.

He panicked as he whimpered, his voice echoing through the hallway.

Jungkook's grip on him tightened as he too whimpered, still burying his face, "What's happening, hyung? Where are they?"

Taehyung's heart raced as he scanned around the place with fear. "I..I don't know, kook. Something's not right.."

Then, he felt someone touching his shoulder and he turned around, expecting to see Jin and Yoongi.

"Hyungs, wha-"

But what he saw was not what he had expected.

To his horror, the white figure stood there with a flashlight lighting on its creepy face, making everything more scary as it laughed at them.

Taehyung's scream pierced the silence, along with Jungkook's terrified cry as they stumbled down, their legs giving way.

The white figure's laughter echoed through the corridor along with a familiar windshield wiping laugh. Taehyung's eyes widened at that as he turned to his left and saw Jin standing there, laughing at them. Beside him stood Yoongi, shaking his head in disbelief at Jin's prank, along with some other workers in their mansion.

Tae then slowly turned his face to the right and saw their mansion butler, Chris, standing there with a smile, clearly trying to hold back his laugh, who played the role of the white ghost.

Taehyung's eyes widened in realization. "What the fuck, Jin hyung!" He shouted. "That wasn't funny at all!"

"Sorry, Tae," Jin said, wiping away his tears of laughter. "I couldn't resist. But hey, at least now we know who the real scaredy-cats are, huh? How dare you call my Yoongi the most scared one?" He said as he laughed again while Yoongi glared at him.

Taehyung huffed in annoyance while Jungkook slowly looked up from his dom's chest, his eyes glossy with tears. Taehyung noticed him and immediately started to pat his head, kissing his cheeks. "You almost made my baby cry! That's not cool!"

Jin's expression softened as he saw the maknae. "I'm sorry, Kookie. I didn't mean to scare you like that." He said as he leaned in to pat his head but Taehyung slapped his hand away, glaring at him.

Jungkook sniffled, tears streaming down his cheeks as he mumbled, "Jin-hyung is a big meanie.."

Yoongi shot Jin a glare. "Look what you have done now."

Taehyung wrapped his arms around Jungkook, pulling him into a tight hug, while still glaring at Jin. "You made him cry," he scolded. "That wasn't funny at all!"

Jin approached the maknae. "I'm sorry, Jungkook," he said sincerely. "Tomorrow, I'll buy you a big box of Banana milk, okay?" He reached out to ruffle Jungkook's hair gently while Taehyung still glared at him.

Jungkook's eyes suddenly sparkled, "Really?" His smile widened from ear to ear, looking like a child eager for a treat from his mama.

Jin nodded while Tae raised an eyebrow, "Was it all planned from the start? The piano and footsteps?"

The elder chuckled. "Yep, all part of the plan to give you guys a good scare," he confessed. Taehyung shook his head and sighed.

"Actually," Jin continued, "to make it even scarier, I purposely dragged Yoongi into another room, leaving you guys alone in the hallway."

"That wasn't funny at all, hyung! You nearly gave us a heart attack!" Tae shouted while the maknae nodded in agreement, his eyes still watery.

Jin chuckled as he defended himself, "Well, it was just a little payback for all the times you two pulled pranks on me at home." He said. "Do you still want to explore the hou-"

But before he could finish, both Taehyung and Jungkook shook their heads immediately, preferring to leave.

They all laughed at them. "Alright then, let's head back," Jin said, leading the way, with all of them following behind.

As they walked down the stairs, the mobile's flashlight suddenly went out as it died out of battery, making the place into complete darkness.

Taehyung and Jungkook flinched at that, while Yoongi reacted immediately by clinging to Jin, burying his face onto his wide shoulders. Jin fumbled for his phone, trying to turn on the flashlight as quickly as possible, knowing well about Yoongi's fear.

The butler quickly turned on the flashlight he had and before he could hand it to Jin, they all heard a little whimpering. It was from Yoongi.

His whole body started to tremble and Tae asked worriedly, "Yoongi hyung, are you okay?"

Yoongi slowly looked up from Jin's back, his breathing heavy. "I-I'm fine," he managed to say, his voice shaky.

Seeing his distress, Jin pulled him close. "He..uh, he's just a little under the weather," he managed to say. "Let's not worry too much about it and just get out of here quick."

The boys nodded and decided not to pry further.

They all then reached Tae's car with Jin sticking close to Yoongi, still holding his hand and pressing it whenever the younger seemed to tremble. The butler and the workers already left to their mansion with another car.

And as Tae was about to enter his own, he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Jin hyung, stop it." He said with annoyance without looking back to see who it was.

Confused, Jin asked from inside the car, sitting beside Yoongi, "What do you mean, Tae?"

Tae's heart then raced as he realized that everyone except him was already inside the car. He slowly turned around, only to see someone standing behind him.

In a panic, he shouted at the person, who startled and shouted back, equally scared by his sudden outburst.

Tae then put his hand over his chest, trying to calm himself. Jin immediately got out of the car to see what was wrong. But before he could react, Taehyung shouted in disbelief, "Jimin?!"

Yoongi immediately looked out the window as he heard the name. He got out of the car too, joining Jin.

Jimin looked suprised, "Why did you even shout, Tae? You scared the hell out of me!"

Taehyung explained, "W-Well, you looked like a ghost!"

Jimin rolled his eyes playfully at the explanation. His eyes then widened as he spotted Jin and Yoongi. "Yoongi hyung? And Jin hyung too?" he asked in surprise. "What are you two doing here?"

Yoongi asked the same question, "Well, what are you doing here? At the middle of night?"

Jimin chuckled and showed them a bag full of cup noodles. "I just got out from the convenience store near this place," he explained, "and was about to go back home."

They all blinked at him while Jin and Yoongi glanced at eachother and Jungkook looked out the car at the new cute figure.

______________________________________

As they all now settled in Jin's mansion, the elder asked Jimin, "Was there really a convenience store nearby?"

Jimin nodded. "Yes, hyung, it's about a 10-minute walk from hyung's mansion," he replied, looking at Yoongi and winking.

Jungkook sat on the other sofa, his eyes fixed on Jimin. "Hey, Tae," he began, "how do you know him though?"

Tae turned to him as he smiled. "I met Jimin at my gaming company," he explained. "He came in for an interview, and I ended up selecting him. We've been friends ever since as we were the same age and we kind of synced with eachother and now, we became soulmates."

Jimin nodded, a small smile appearing on his face. "Yeah, even though he's technically my boss now, we've managed to become friends."

"Was it the same interview you said you were going to attend?" Yoongi asked.

"Yeah, it was the same, hyung," Jimin confirmed with a smile.

Jungkook huffed and pouted a bit to himself, catching Tae's attention, but Tae remained silent, not knowing why his sub was acting out.

"I didn't know that you were Yoongi hyung's brother," he then admitted, looking at Jimin with surprise.

Jimin nodded in agreement. "And I didn't know that you were Jin hyung's brother."

They all laughed and Jin then suggested, "Why don't you stay the night here?"

Jimin initially declined, "No, hyung. That's alright."

But Tae insisted, "No, it's better for you to stay. It's already dark outside, right, Yoongi hyung?"

Yoongi nodded and Jimin smiled, accepting the offer.

They all then went to their respective rooms.

Yoongi was being asked so many questions by Jimin about the cut in his forehead. And after trying to explain everything that happened including the fight, he sighed as Jimin finally left him alone and went to the guest room.

And when the mafia was about to enter his own, he paused as he noticed Jin approaching him with a smile. The elder gently patted his head making him to look up.

"You alright?" He asked with concern.

Yoongi avoided his gaze. "Yeah..I'm fine," he replied softly. "J-Just a little shaken up from earlier but I think I will be fine for tonight..."

Jin nodded understandingly. "Well, if you need anything, just let me know, okay?"

Yoongi nodded at his words while the elder smiled, "Good night," he replied softly as he turned to walk to his own room.

Just as he reached for the door handle, he heard Yoongi calling, "S-Seokjin..?"

Pausing, Jin turned back to face him and saw the younger fidgeting with his fingers nervously and avoiding his gaze.

Jin could sense the hesitation in his voice. "Yes?" He replied as he then softly asked, "Do you need something, Yoongi?"

Yoongi hesitated for a moment before gathering his courage. "Can..Can you..." But his voice trailed off as he saw Jin coming towards him, his cheeks begining to flush red.

"Can I?" The elder asked, prompting him to continue as he stood in front of him, his hand reaching out to ruffle Yoongi's hair.

With a blush and reddened ears, Yoongi finally asked,

"C-Can you stay the night with me..?"
