"Even the dead tells stories"

-Marcus Sedgwick

"Keep that smaller suitcase in backseat. We don't have space in trunk" Yoongi announced after securing big suitcases in the back of car. Surprising he waked up early, kissed his girlfriend and went to prepare for the 'Vacation'. He had taken upon himself to do all the work as it was originally his idea and Hana was too tried from last night.

"Oh! this is packed, we should probably buy a new car" Hana commented, eyeing the trunk through his shoulder, swiftly hiding her makeup vanity box.

"Maybe and you can keep your box near my seat" Yoongi snorted when she scurry away. "Cute" he couldn't help but fondly watch his girl's antic.

"Hey Jimin! Come fast or we are going without you!" Yoongi barked being fed up of his tardiness. They were waiting for him since hours and had honked twenty times already but the lazy ass didn't budge.

"You wouldn't dare!" and there comes the fancy man, in oversized shirt and fitted jeans, caring two a heavy suitcase.

"You look handsome Jim" Hana hollered. He shyly ducked his head, thanking her for helping in lay down the suitcase on backseat.

"Hey what's that?" she caught his left hand and inspect closely. She had seen that last night too but didn't question.

"What?" he asked and look over where she pointing. "It looks like a burn mark but I don't remember getting it, Strange" there was a medium sized blotchy skin on his ring finger and as per Hana, it was tiny last night.

"Look if your boss is giving you a hard time. You know that you can come to me right?. I had already offered you a desk job where you just have to sit and look pretty" he laughed at her wiggling eyes. But she stop goofing around and turned serious and said "You are my best friend and Yoongi loves you like a younger brother so if something bad is happening, you are telling one of us okay?" She pet his blonde hair lovingly.

"Yes ma'am, but seriously it's nothing to worry about" he sincerely respond and dismissed the odd feeling penetrating within him.

Yoongi was driving through the crammed lanes and soon they were off to woods. The cottage, he had booked built in between forest, secluded from noise and crowd. When he had heard about the place, his ears perked up eager to find motivation and inspiration for his new album. His girlfriends was aching to rest from all the big deals and Jimin needed sometime alone from his tiring life. The green roads were calming, soft breeze tickling his nose, his mood was over the moon from the tranquility.

"Hey! You remember how Hana was called cold princess in high-school?" Jimin reminded his friends not liking the silence on their trip. "And that's why, I said 'you were perfect for each other'".

"Don't forget about the shy Yoongi who chickened out while confessing to me" Hana couldn't help but chortle, reminiscing the young blushing Yoongi who would shake tremendously while talking to her.

"Hey! we swore not to talk about it again" the offended man shouted but his gleaming smile tells another story.

"But really Yoongs, you were so cute back then. It's was your shy nature that made me fall with you. But it was funny when, Jimin asked me out and I was like 'Hey don't you already have a girlfriend, sorry I don't do orgy!"

"Yeah! I had to explain that he was asking for me" he grabbed one of her hands and kissed on it, showing how much she matters to him.

Jimin zoned out from their conversation when his ex was mentioned. He and Yoongi were best friend since in diapers and had joined high school together. Jimin had a girlfriend ever since he can remember. Rose – who was half American and half Korean, they were dating each other and with Yoongi confessing to his first love Hana, they did many double dates.

One day she left him heartbroken and a letter behind explaining how her parents were getting divorced and her father who was in American got her custody. She had to leave her life in Korea, since then Jimin was single, he tried to move on and that's why he flirted with everyone and everything, to hide his pain. It wasn't just meaningless relationship, it was his first, where there was a bond, a trust between them which made it hard for him to move.

Hana tried to setup him with her friends and colleagues but they were not his Rose so, the lover boy stayed single when his friends were the optimum of perfect couple.

The last thing he wanted was to dwell on past so he interrupted the couple's third or maybe fourth kiss and started to jam on catchy songs. Hana shook her head on his silliness and joined him. Yoongi was driving smoothly and inputting his rough tone here and there.

It didn't take them long to sing old songs and cartoon tunes. Jimin hunched off in backseat comfortably and Hana threw a bottle towards him which he gladly accepts.

He was sipping and looking outside the window taking in the peaceful surrounding when suddenly something flashed on his side of road, it was so then he instant that he ended up coughing the water.

"What happened?" Hana asked in concern, stopping car stereo because his complexion suddenly turned pale like he had seen a ghost.

"Did you see that?" he asked eagerly on which his friends' shook their head and replied with 'What?'. Thinking that maybe it was an illusion because he didn't get a good sleep last night because of that incident. It was the sole reason why he had waked up late, he didn't told anything to his friends, not wanting to stress them on futile matter.

"There are many creepy trees, maybe your eyes tricked you" Yoongi explained. "Maybe" Jimin agreed not dragging it and perched on leather seat, keen to take a short nap.

Dark chilling enclosed like a swirling blackhole swallowing his existence, his soul. He was floating in eternal void. There was nothing to see, everywhere and anywhere was just black. Onyx taunting him, eating him alive. He dreadfully knew that he was sleeping, invested in a short nap but it was dreamless or was it a dream. More like nightmare. He could feel his leg, his hands were intact but he couldn't move or see his body. Flying slowly like a breeze in complete abyss not knowing where is going. But something was not right, the fear of unknown crawl on his skin when his body felt heavy and he was beginning to hear whispers. It was eating his ears, crawling on his head, irritating him like buzzing mosquitoes. It was hard to make out what they were saying.

"Sshhhh! he is near" they began to talk aggressively in broken words. "Don't go" one screamed.

"Don't go there, he is dangerous!" they warned. "DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!"  They were chanting loudly, non stop and it was not a threat but more like warning. These whisper had shaky voices like they were afraid of something, like they were scared to voice out it's name.

"DON'T COME HERE"

"HE IS WAITING"

"HE IS COMING" Those whispers began to scratch, pushing him around, pulling him god knows where. He couldn't help but scream in fear, hoping someone will hear and help him. His voice was losing it's strength and throat felt dry. Hot tears began to stream over his delicate cheeks.

Someone was shaking him, rocking him hard enough to fall.

"Hey! hey what happened?" he woke up from dark nightmare in an instant and saw Yoongi face directly over him. Screeching loudly he backed up. "What?" he asked in confusion.

"You were mumbling loudly and sweating like crazy. Are you okay?"

"Huh? Yeah I am fine. Don't worry. How much more we have to go? And where is Hana?"

"Well! we have already reached and Hana is still admiring the house!" he laughed and went near to took out bags.

"Jimin isn't that beautiful. So small and cute, I can't help but woo over again and again" Hana was definitely in awe.

"Holy shit! Yoongi, where did you find this?" Jimin was shocked too. "I told you about that new rapper right? His manager is one who arranged this, I am quite thankful to him" he explained.

"God bless him!" the two admirers commented in unison.

"Who reach first, will get the big room?" and with that they ran inside like crazy.

"Seriously! Sometimes I feel like I am babysitting small kids" Yoongi sigh loudly and slammed the car door shut.

Hana was looking in all the cabinets of the big room which she won from the shocked man who is still stunt near the window and watching something outside. "What is it?" she finally asked sick of silence.

"Oh shit! I didn't saw that before" he replied still in daze.

"What happened Jimin?" now she was back to worry as he was behaving odd since they decided the vacation.

" Hana, I told you the story of that bad customer, it's his house, see. I was napping all the way here, that's why I didn't notice the familiar path" his eyes were wide and fearful and she felt the need to calm him down. "It's just a silly coincidence" she retort and ruffled his hair. On the other side of road, stood the freaky house where the adorable boy and his heinous guardian resides, even the house, now appears daunting.

"I just feel like it's more than a stupid coincidence" he shakily said and put back the curtains, covering the outside view where that creepy house was stood.

"Hey, it's nothing. Don't stress okay!" she gently said not wanting him to take his uneasy feeling for granted.

"Can anyone help me carry these suitcases?" Yoongi's voice boomed from front gate." Coming" Hana answered and sprint away.

"Fuck this relaxing-break" he cursed and went to set up his smaller room.
