There someone... In the dark
Behind you?
Just look behind...

The club reverberated with pulsating music, enveloping the crowd in their own individual worlds. Some indulged in drinks, others engaged in high-stakes bets, a few swayed to the rhythm on the dance floor, and a couple passionately making-out.

As the clock struck 2 in the morning, a group of friends walked out laughing and teasing after a wild night at the club. It being Friday, they were fortunate to have the entire weekend ahead of them, free from the constraints of work and responsibilities.

However, within this group, two individuals had imbibed far more alcohol than they should have, you were one of them and unfortunately, their members who were a bit sober took care of you and your bestie.

"Ummm... I nEeD voDkA~" You declared, clinging to the man's arm while playfully hitting him.

"What on earth, Mimi? That hurts!!" The man protested, attempting to shield himself from her playful blows.

"How can he... How can he do that?! Koko!" You slurred, your words accompanied by an unfortunate expulsion of vomit.

"Holy shit!! Back off," he exclaimed, swiftly pushing you away to avoid being drenched in your puke. "And who the fuck is Koko-" His sentence was abruptly interrupted by a piercing scream.

He spun around to witness his other friend in distress. "Jungkook, help me man! She's heavy to carry!" cried out a fiery-haired girl, her voice filled with urgency.

"Hey! WHo tHe hEcK dId yOu CaLl fAt?!" exclaimed the struggling blond-haired girl, her energy wobbling as she tried on to stay conscious.

Jungkook made his way towards the red-headed girl, his voice oozing with assurance. "Um... I think it would be best if you carry Mimi, as she can make it to her home. I'll take care of Uri," he suggested, effortlessly hoisting the blond-haired girl onto his shoulder.

"Waaa! Put me down! Put. me. down. you pressure cooker!" Uri protested, wriggling in Jungkook's arms.

"Shut the hell up or I'll toss you in the trash!" Jungkook commander with a strained voice and smack her butt harshly.

"Ahh~ I will never forgive you, you moron!!" Uri screamed which made anyone go deaf.

"Shut up all of you!! I refuse to go anywhere! I want revenge on Jake!!!" You exclaimed, your voice filled with a fiery determination. You craved revenge, and nothing would stand in your way. Any why won't you, that bitch was dating you because he made a bet on it.

Cheap fucker!

Jungkook, perplexed, furrowed his brow and questioned, "What?! That's not a wise decision, Mimi. Why waste your time chasing after him?"

Anger resonated in your voice as you scoffed, "Me? Chasing after him? No! He tried to mess with me!” Your expression changed as you quietly continued your sentence, “I actually started to develop feelings for him. But that Fucker..."

You don't know that you would be a blockhead to actually fall for is a lovely sugar-coated act, what a fool you made of yourself! But that fucker should know what kind of girl he messed up with and you were not in the attitude to let flee away a win-win opportunity.

Unable to bear seeing your distressed state, your drunk bestie, Uri chimed in a mischievous giggle that escaped her lips. "Yeah! I can't bear to witness you like this, Mimi. Let's visit him and exact our revenge."

Yumi, her voice trembling with fear, interjected, "No, no! That could get us into serious trouble."

"You're such a scaredy-cat, Yumi! I want my revenge!" You declared, your eyes sparkling with determination, alcohol did just a great work, fueling your spark of revenge.

Your sober bestie, Jungkook, understanding Yumi's concerns, added, "Yumi is right, Mimi. Seeking revenge could lead to significant consequences."

But being the dramatic person that Uri is, with a dramatic gasp and fake tears streaming down her face, pleaded, "Jungkook, you're her best friend! Can't you see the pain she's in?"

Jungkook sighed, feeling the weight of the situation. "These girls... Fine, but this is for the last time," he said, as they set off on their path, Yumi's protests trailing behind them.

At that time you were more than glad that she was your bestie, she never left your side, after all, the four of you had been like this since childhood, Yumi protesting, and you and your two besties doing crime.

Uri gazed at the imposing old mansion, her curiosity said, "Why on earth would that fucker have a house right in front of a haunted villa!?" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with disbelief.

The mansion in front was huge and all old, it felt like there could be a wailing or lost ghost. The area was more chilled than you ever experienced. Jake's house was in front of the haunted mansion.

Creepy, why the fuck he leaves here!

Yumi, her voice trembling with fear, chimed in, "If I were in his shoes, I would never have chosen to stay in such a place!"

Indeed on one would.

Jungkook, his voice quivering, added, "Let's finish our work quickly and leave. This place gives me the chills." Even the strongest bunny was scared.

Just then you spot a large pebble beside you and you know what exactly you wanna do. As mischievous as ever or you can say the effect of alcohol in your system, you picked up that large pebble and hurled it towards the house. The stone soared through the air, crashing into the glass window with a resounding thud.

"Holy shit! What the hell, Mimi?!" Jungkook and Yumi exclaimed simultaneously, their voices filled with shock and horror.

Uri, unable to contain her amusement, clapped her hands in excitement. "One more, Mimi!" she urged, her laughter echoing through the air.

You, seizing another stone, was about to throw it when suddenly, the house lit up and a man appeared in the broken window, it was Jake.

Fucker!

"Who the hell is it?!" He bellowed, his voice filled with anger and frustration.

You and your friends quickly hid beneath the bushes. Uri, who was unable to suppress her laughter, burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter, catching Jake's attention.

A cold layer of sweat formed on your forehead as he marched towards the bushes, grasping a stick in his hand. "Whoever you are, I swear you'll pay for every bit of this!" he threatened.

You were praying to the universe, to disappear you or teleport you to another place, just then an instant, a chilling howl reverberated through the air, its haunting echo piercing the silence of the old mansion. It was a chilling sound which gave chills through your body, you could see the distressed faces of your friends, their eyes wide and sweat on their foreheads travelling down.

"W-whoever dares to l-lurk in the shadows, know this: I-I refuse to be s-scared!" stammered Jake, his voice betraying his true terror.

Indeed he was terrified too.

Suddenly, the rustling of the bushes near the mansion’s gates caught their attention, causing Jake to flee in sheer panic. You, who saw a shadiness figure, behind the bushes, but you didn't feel any threat after looking at that figure.

You were so lost that you flinch when a hand grabbed you, "Why the fuck we are waiting here? Let's run!!" exclaimed Jungkook, his voice trembling with fear. And so, you all fled, your hearts racing, but your mind lingering on the early seen figure.

After putting some distance between themselves and the haunted mansion, Yumi couldn't contain her anger any longer. "You... You nearly led us to our death!" she scolded, her voice filled with a mix of relief and frustration.

You and Uri's senses heightened by the alcohol coursing through your veins, burst into uncontrollable laughter, your laughter echoing through the night. Indeed it was fun for you to take revenge on Jake and the way he ran away, you wish you could record it!! But Oh lord!

With that, you all made your way back to the safety of your respective homes. However, Jungkook kindly offered to accompany you to your apartment, after seeing your condition, you were continually squinting your eyes, your legs trembling. They must be crying by now if they have mouths.

Concern laced Jungkook's voice as he inquired, "Mimi, are you alright? Should I accompany you to your apartment door?"

"Nooo~ Koko, my bestie! I can manage on my own!" you declared, determinedly pushing yourself towards your apartment, your movements a blend of walking and stumbling.

"Are you sure? You seem on the verge of passing out!" Jungkook expressed, as he leapt forward to catch your tired body.

"Oh, don't you worry about me," you exclaimed, pushing your body further as you reached the elevator.

"Bye, bunny boy!" With that, you darted off, leaving Jungkook standing there, "Aish!! This girl is really something," he muttered, shaking his head, before walking to his house.

As you neared your apartment door, you suddenly heard a faint voice. You turned around, expecting to see someone, but there was no one in sight, not even a single rat scurrying by.

Maybe wind... Nonsense!!

Shrugging it off, you reached for your keys, ready to unlock the door, when you heard another sound as if someone had fallen.

"Hey! Whoever the hell you are!" you exclaimed, your voice filled with confidence. "Listen up, you little prankster! I'm not scared of your pathetic tricks!" Determined, you grabbed a nearby pot, ready to defend yourself.

"Come out, you coward!" you called out, your steps slow and deliberate as you made your way towards the balcony at the end of the hallway.

The building you lived in had two elevators for going up and down, with the stairs serving as a backup that no one really used. And for ventilation purposes, there was an open balcony at the end of each floor.

Once more, a sudden sound pierced through the air, causing you to startle. In a reflexive motion, you knocked over the entire pot of plants, which tumbled out of the balcony, resulting in a resounding thud that was sure to wake even the most slumbering watchmen and maybe the whole building.

Shit!! Fuck my life!

A wave of fear washed over you as you realised the magnitude of your actions. You desperately wished to avoid being caught, so you swiftly retreated into the safety of her apartment in a hurry.

Once you were inside your space, you sighed in consolation. Not bothering to turn on the lights, you simply jerk off your heels and push your tired body towards your bathroom. Your bathroom has a large space for clothes, so you always keep your clothes there.

Choosing a simple crop top and shorts you were about to make your way to the bed but your stomach flipped and you were washed with the wave of throwing up.

Sitting near the edge of the bathtub you throw up in the toilet pot, a sudden wave of subconsciousness hits your brain and your vision fades and turns into darkness.

Unbeknownst to you, there was an unexpected presence lurking in the shadows, silently observing you as you slumber in the bathtub.
