08. HAUNTED.

. . . .

UNDER the murky sky they walked side by side; venturing through the empty road that's laced by the endearing silence of the night. Harmonious sounds coming from the crickets played as the background music.

The silence wasn't awkward, in fact, a warm sensation was crawling in Taehyung's bones and something settled on his heart; a longing feeling fused with jittery, shaking his internal organs that made him wonder if this was a great decision to begin with.

His eyes couldn't stop lingering on Eloise's hand, pondering the feelings he would get if he had touched the seemingly delicate skin.

The desire was tangible, the courage wasn't.

In the end, he just shook the thoughts off of his head and focused back on his track, knowing that he'd probably regret not taking the chance later.

It was very unnerving, he hoped he had been braver to initiate a skinship. With a mental pout in his mind, he scolded himself.

"We're here." And then, a voice broke his bubbled of thought and once he's back to reality, he could see a what looked like abandoned and old building before them. The paint on the walls were faded, some of the windows were cracked or no longer there, and the building itself was crumpled, looking as if it's going to shatter soon.

He wondered why Eloise bought him to a haunted building like this one, because even though he liked the idea of being alone, he's a scaredy cat who didn't like horror or supernatural related stuffs.

Maybe, he's regretting his decision a tad bit.
