"minseul, dear," I heard a voice talk to me "minseul."

I slowly opened my eyes to see the horrible person disturbing my fricking sleep.

"yes?" I asked

"you have a check up today," doyoung told me "I have to know how you're doing."

"um okay," I said as I sat up. I looked around and woah, everyone else is asleep and it's only 5:52am. mark was sitting next to boo's bed, hansol and soonyoung were next to mine (and donghyuck was near hansol) and yuta and taeyong were next to winwin.

the doctor took a small bowl of vegetable soup and faced me "but first, you have to eat."

"do you really have to feed me though?" I questioned "I can eat by myself."

"listen, minseul," he sighed "this is my time to prove the other doctors that i'm worthy of my job. I want to take care of all my patients to rub on their faces that I could be the best and that they couldn't kick me out of this hospital."

"why are you getting kicked out though?"

"everyone hates me," he answered "I don't know why, but probably because they ain't me."

wow I wish I have that confidence and sass. we continued to talk about his life as he took good care of me. I gotta admit that even if his sassiness comes out as rude sometimes, he's a softie. how cute.

also, a really good singing voice.

7am. hansol, mark and winwin were still in dreamland, soonyoung was playing on his phone, donghyuck left for a bit, seungkwan and doyoung were both singing and then yuta was watching some anime.

suddenly,

taeyong woke up. my jaw literally dropped when I saw his "morning look". damn, it's really something.

"yah, minseul. I'm here, don't lock your stare at the hot guy," soonyoung spoke once he noticed that I was taking time to appreciate the other boy's existence

"sorry," I chuckled "do you still hate winwin though?"

"just a bit because he's battling with me when it comes to cuteness and dancing. but aside from that, no. I don't think i'm mad anymore," he told me "if he didn't protect you, I'd be devastated. I don't want to lose you, ya know?"

"what happened to farming though?" I laughed, causing him to pout and look annoyed, "I still have a soft spot for animals. but now I know that farming isn't for me. I don't want to end up like seokmin's aunt."

"that's true. you should focus on seventeen again," i replied "do you promise you'll do that?"

"yeah yeah I promise," he answered

finally! soonyoung is back to the group. it's kinda weird to know that we have several plans to do just to make him go back (that don't work at all tbh) and then boom, one unplanned event happened and now he's back.

the world is weird.

seungkwan kept talking to doyoung about how he misses the occult club even if he's actually not a part of it. I feel like doyoung doesn't even understand what the boy is telling him because he talks fast.

on the other side, winwin was doing quite well. he's gaining strength again and slowly recovering. I still feel bad for him though.

seungkwan and I were already allowed to walk around the room and get exercise. only with the help of our overly protective doctor kim.

night came (already bcs jiro is running low on ideas) and my sleep was disturbed by some murmurs. I opened my eyes and turned, only to see doyoung and seungkwan with flashlights

"what the hell are you doing?" I asked as I rubbed my eyes "it's almost 3am!"

"we're umm...." seungkwan muttered "going to the boy's bathroom."

"together?" I questioned "is that what you call bonding now?"

"yes," boo answered "it's a boy thing. you see, boys usually-"

"ew, don't talk about it!" I replied and threw a pillow at him.

"um. we're not actually going to the bathroom together because first of all, gross. second, I have nothing to do there. and third, I may be a protective doctor but I'm not going to stand there and guard seungkwan as he does his job. gross," doyoung stated. wow

"so? what are you doing?"

"we're gonna check out the morgue," seungkwan answered "we wanna see some cool stuff in there and I'm gonna leave my dead bag there too."

"are you fucking serious?" I cursed "you're gonna get nightmares in there!"

"prove it."

"some people who have died have known to come back to life hours after they have been declared dead," I told them "it's a fact. good luck if you see a walking body down there. you're probably going to hit legendary high notes."

"I'm not convinced," boo shrugged

"almost all sorts of dead bodies are in a morgue. some are so badly decomposed that you will find yourself struggling to keep yourself from throwing up," I told them

"that's true though," doyoung agreed

"seriously? you're the doctor. why are you even a part of this?" I interrogated "aren't you supposed to be preventing seungkwan when it comes to doing crazy stuff?"

"well, he told me about an occult club earlier and now i'm interested," he replied. I sighed in defeat and threw myself on the bed again

"fine, go. don't come crying in here when you see something gruesome."

the two boys left the room in an instant and I tried to go back to sleep. but for some reason, I couldn't help but worry. five minutes in and I started to think of what they're doing.

I imagine them screaming in fear. poor them. I mean, I'd like to help but I don't fuck with dead people so no.

suddenly, I remember that seungkwan still has the dextrose with him. and if they get scared, he might not be able to run. poor doctor doyoung, he has to carry the metal stand.

ten minutes later, they're still not back. interesting. I finally got up out of curiosity and walked towards the door. leaving winwin and the others behind, I walked down the empty hallway with slight difficulty.

"can I help you?" a nurse asked once she saw me. I wouldn't want a nurse to get creeped out, knowing that i'm on my way to a fricking morgue so I rejected her offer.

I was inside the elevator with a male nurse. he was probably creeped out when I pressed the button for the last floor which is my desired destination. once he noticed, he started to slowly move away from me.

I turned my head to look at him, seeing him covered in goosebumps. and oh dear he was sweating. do I look like an actual ghost though? the doors opened and he quickly left.

I was alone. two more floors before I arrive to the morgue and I hope nothing bad happens. everything was dull. the lift had mirrors and there was no hotel music.

"oh fuck, it's cold," I said to myself once I stepped outside the lift. it was just me, and hundreds of dead bodies. who would love that?

as always, it was eerily quiet. like i can hear the smallest of noises. even pin dropping. it was quite unnerving. why did I even go here on my own?
and where the fuck are the two boys?

my legs were weak and shaky as I take small steps around the place. it smelled awful. I was a shivering wreck, almost paralysed by terror. there was no wind to scream at me at the moment. everything was dead.

covered bodies were piled up in something that looked like small lockers for the dead. each step of mine made a faint sound which, surprisingly, produced echoes.

"doyoung?" I whispered, since a whisper is loud enough to be heard "seungkwan?"

no response. I walked a little more and stopped once I heard footsteps. that must be doyoung, because he was wearing leather shoes. I looked around, horror painted on my face.

to my surprise, there was a covered body in a clown fucking costume which made me scream.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" my voice covered the whole place. It was difficult to run but I had to go in a rush. I mean, who the fuck dresses up as a clown in a morgue!!???!?

as I hastened back to the lift, I heard two familiar screaming voices as well.

"GUYS!?" I shouted, panicking. about six seconds in and someone held my shoulders which made me let out another shriek.

"MINSEUL IT'S ME!" doyoung replied. seungkwan was panting beside him, pressing the lift button quickly.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?"

"YOUR FRIEND PULLED THE COVERS OF A RANDOM DEAD BODY AND IT FUCKING GROANED!"

"WE HAVE TO GET OUT!" boo screamed. once the doors opened, we rushed in and pressed the F button. before it could even close, boo shouted again.

"I CAN'T LEAVE MY BAG HERE!"

"SEUNGKWAN NO!" doyoung and I shouted, but it was too late. seungkwan ran out of the elevator and was left alone inside that horrible place.

doyoung was cursing repeatedly, not knowing what to do. on the other hand, I was covered in cold sweat!

"what do we do!?" I asked

"he'll be fine," the doctor held my wrist with his freezing and shaking hand "going down there was a bad idea."

"I told you! you should've listened to me!" I stomped my foot, making the lights inside the lift flicker. surprisingly, doyoung pulled me into a hug. we were both scared as hell.

"what's going to happen!?"

"I don't know!!!"

we were finally able to leave the lift once we arrived to our room floor. I was pale as a paper and so was doyoung.

we calmed ourselves and waited for seungkwan. after two minutes, he got off from the lift with tears in his eyes. the boy didn't have his bag with him, and that's probably the reason why he's crying.

I decided not to tell the others about what happened when we returned to the room. it was 3:30 in the morning when I went back to bed. seungkwan was scarred, doyoung was a mess and I was extremely tired.

"I hope you guys learned your lesson," I told them "do not disturb the dead."

"next time, we should bring wonwoo," seungkwan muttered "but I don't think there'll be a next time."

"there won't be one," I replied

_____________

what a random chap. also, about that dead clown. it actually happened.

"We had a dead clown one time. This person was buried in full clown costume with makeup and all. The whole family was clowns. All the friends were clowns. And at the family's request, the funeral directors were clowns too. They supplied costumes and did our makeup. Family and friends had one tear drop painted on near the eye. Definitely my strangest.

They were all sad clowns with a tear."
