a lot of weird stuff

hyunjin: that's cute

hyunjin: okay...?

seungmin: but, its really
fucking weird

hyunjin: how is it weird

seungmin: hold on, i'm gonna click on the link

hyunjin: wait, does the website look sketchy?

seungmin: kinda. its just a weirdass blog post, but the article is written like a news report

hyunjin: dont read it

seungmin: why?

hyunjin: seungmin, stop.

seungmin: okay, this gets
even weirder

hyunjin: i dont wanna hear it

seungmin: too bad, i'm gonna tell you anyways

hyunjin: stop

seungmin: apparently some guy got bullied in this specific middle school. like a lot, i'm guessing.

seungmin: there was this group of guys that used to bother him a lot. they even beat him up as well

hyunjin: seungmin, i dont want to hear it.

seungmin: but this gets even stranger

seungmin: the guy got picked on so much he always came to classes with bruises on his body. at least, thats what one of his old classmates said. then, one day those guys dragged him into the bathroom one free afternoon period, and then no one saw him again.

hyunjin: are you kidding?

seungmin: no. it was like he disappeared off the face of the earth. at first, no one questioned his disappearance because he was known to miss school a lot, but then people started to speculate. even his parents didn't know where he went off to, and it wasn't too long after that that they left korea altogether.

hyunjin: didn't those bullies know where he went?

seungmin: thats what i was thinking, until i read that approximately two weeks after his disappearance, they were all found dead. one after the other.

hyunjin: what the fuck

seungmin: no one knows specifically what took place between them and the victim, or what had killed those guys, but people started avoiding the male's bathrooms altogether. the story became one of those corny scary tales that warn you of a bathroom ghost or something.

seungmin: no one could find the boys' murderer as well.

hyunjin: okay, stop reading. i dont want to hear anymore. stop.

hyunjin: i hate scary stories

seungmin: i'm pretty sure this is real

seungmin: they even have a picture of the guy

hyunjin: well i shall be yeeting out of this conversation then

seungmin: apparently his name is 'lee felix'

seungmin: here he is.

seungmin:

hyunjin: holy shit, this is getting creepier

hyunjin: i'm going to sleep

seungmin: this article is super weird, so i'm gonna stay up looking for more info

hyunjin: do you wanna die? i bet you wanna

seungmin: dont be ridiculous

hyunjin: seungmin, listen to yourself. you just said you'd search more about some guy that apparently disappeared after he got bullied 4 years ago, only for his bullies to disappear 2 weeks later

hyunjin: what if he haunts you or some shit

seungmin: haha, very funny

hyunjin: i'm not kidding seungmin

hyunjin: this whole thing is giving me chills, and i dont want to talk about it anymore

seungmin: i'm just
reading about it, thats it

hyunjin: yeah well, it was nice knowing you

seungmin: seriously?

hyunjin: i dont joke with shit like this, so goodbye 👋

hyunjin: hope you'll still make it out alive

seungmin: oh wow. thanks a bunch hyunjin. i really appreciate the encouragement :)
