Chapter 5
Suji was breathing heavily and sweating profusely in her sleep.Her face was twisting in pain.
Suji was having the nightmare again.
"No...No...please don't...please stop!"Suji muttered in her sleep,"NO!!!!!!"
Suji shouted and woke up from her sleep.She was still breathing heavily.She sat up on her bed.
She's been having this nightmare a lot in the last few weeks.That's a bit odd.As usual she doesn't remember much about the nightmare.The only things she remembers are seeing someone holding a knife and seeing blood everywhere.She doesn't remember the person's face whose holding the knife.All she remembers is that he's a tall male.
Suji isn't sure but this time her nightmare seemed so much more real
and a bit more vivid.Suji isn't necessarily scared of a lot of things but she's scared of having this nightmare.She hates it.After waking up from it,it gives her so many feelings.Anger,pain and fear.And the most apparent feeling is sadness.She doesn't know why she feels all of it.
Suji sighed,"I guess I won't be able to sleep anymore.Congrats to me."
Suji slowly got up from her bed and decided to go to the roof to see what Taehyung and V are up to.Hopefully they'll be able to keep her company.
Suji slowly went up making sure to create as less as sound as possible.After she went up to the roof she saw both V and Taehyung standing by the railing and looking at the sky.Suji smiled.It's the first time she's seen them stand by each other silently without fighting or bickering,it's nice to watch.Suji stood by the stairs staring at them with a smile on her face.
She has become really good friends with them in the last two weeks.She can't believe it but she really enjoys their presence and even feels thankful for it.She got along with V pretty soon.He is really fun and mischievous.She has pranked Seokjin so many times with him.Taehyung on the other hands is a bit distant.He doesn't even talk much.He only talks when he absolutely needs to.Suji has also spotted some weird tendencies of Taehyung.But he is a nice guy.
V felt someone's presence and turned around.He smiled immediately,"Why're you standing there?Come here."V told Suji.
Taehyung also turned around when he heard that.
"I just didn't want to ruin the cute siblings moment,"Suji said.
"Forget it and come here,"V said and signed her to come and stand by them.Taehyung didn't say anything just looked at her.
Suji came and stood in between them and looked up at the night sky.The beautiful moon was seen.
"Beautiful,"Suji said.
"Right?"V asked,looking up again.
The moon looked so beautiful,it was breathtaking.
Suji slowly sat on the railing of the roof.
"You'll fall,"Taehyung said and came to stand right behind Suji.
"I won't...well..unless you push me.."Suji said and chuckled.
Taehyung didn't reply and just stood still.
V laughed out loud.
"No..I mean the way you're standing behind me looks like you're gonna push me,"Suji said.
"Yes..I'm gonna push you,happy?"Taehyung said in an irritated voice.
Suji didn't reply just let out a chuckle
"So anyone up for snacks?"V asked after a bit of silence.
"I'm in,"Suji replied.
Taehyung nodded.
"Fine,I'll go and bring snacks from Seokjin's food cabinet."V said.
"The amount of food we're stealing from oppa's cabinet is just...."Suji didn't complete and just laughed,"He's gonna lose his mind soon."
"Yes..I saw him whining yesterday for the food we stole the day before yesterday.."V said and laughed,"...it's fun to see him whine."
Suji nodded.
"Anyways..I'll go and bring something delicious,"V said and went downstairs leaving Taehyung and Suji on the roof,alone.
There was silence for some time before Suji said while looking up,"I'm happy I got up from my sleep.The moon is..so pretty!"
Taehyung didn't say anything for awhile but then said,"Your nightmare....do you still see it?"
That shocked Suji.She remembers that she was telling V about seeing a nightmare.Taehyung that time was reading a book.She didn't expect him to actually hear this.
"You heard that?..."Suji asked,"Oh and yeah..I saw it tonight too."
Taehyung didn't say anything.
"I'm okay though,"Suji said,"Don't worry."
Taehyung scoffed,"Who's worrying?"
Suji chuckled and changed the topic,"Taehyung-ah,did you know that your drawings are the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life."
"Then clearly you haven't seen anything beautiful in your life at all,"Taehyung said.
Suji rolled her eyes,"I'm praising you,can't you at least act like you're thankful?"
Taehyung didn't reply.
Suji turned around to sit face to face with Taehyung.Taehyung wasn't expecting that so he was a bit taken aback.
"Taehyung-ah?"Suji called.
Taehyung looked at her curiously.
"What was your inspiration behind painting?"Suji asked.
Taehyung didn't reply for sometime.Suji thought he wouldn't reply but after sometime he slowly replied.
"It's when I was a teen and honestly done with my life and everyone around me.I felt like everyone was pressuring me to be the heir of my father's company and act a certain way..."
Suji listened to him carefully looking at Taehyung while he was looking everywhere but her.
"....that's when when someone got me into painting.I found it therapeutic...in a way painting saved my life."
Taehyung looked at her eyes and then quickly looked away.One of the weird tendencies of Taehyung is that he never looks at her for long.He always looks away.But before looking away this time Taehyung gave a small smile.
Suji's heart started beating louder.Her cheeks started heating up and they soon turned red.She didn't know what and why she was feeling all these emotions.Her heart was overflowing with so many emotions.One of those emotions being the weird feeling she always gets when she sees him or is near him.
Thankfully V returned right then with his hands full of different kinds of snacks.
"Woah..how did you bring so many?"Suji asked after calming herself down.
"I've emptied out the cabinet,"V said proudly,"Let's enjoy!"
Taehyung moved away from her and held a packet of chips from V.
Suji also got down from the railing and got a pack of biscuits from V.
They started chitchatting while eating the snacks.Well mostly it was V and Suji while Taehyung stayed silent,listening to them.
"Suji-ah,do you want the corn chips?It's the last packet."V asked while munching happily on the corn chips.
Suji shook her head.She doesn't even like corn chips.But her eyes widened when she realized something.
"It's the last pack of corn chips?These are oppa's favorite ones though."Suji said.
"And so?"V asked,still munching on the corn chips unbothered.
Suji sighed,"Expect some drama tomorrow after Seokjin Oppa finds out that his precious chips are gone."
"It's gonna be fun though."V said.
"I hope that it's fun and not something stupid."Suji said and sighed.
The next day Suji almost forgot all about it but she was quickly reminded that there was gonna be drama today as soon as she walked in her house from school.
She heard screaming and....chanting?
What the hell?
Suji slowly walked towards where the noise was coming from.It was coming from Seokjin's room.
When she entered the room whatever she weirded her out.Her brother and his friend Hoseok were standing in one corner of the room and standing in the middle was a short man in his forties.He was wearing a suit and glasses and his grayish hair was tied in a ponytail.And he was throwing some sort of liquid from his bottle at random parts in the room and chanting some weird spell.
Suji frowned.
What the hell is happening again?
Seokjin saw her and called her over to that corner.She slowly walked over to that side of the room to Seokjin and Hoseok.
"What's happening?"She whispered to Seokjin.
"Suji-ah,don't be shocked,okay?"Seokjin asked.
"Oppa,I've lost my ability to be shocked a long time ago.So don't worry and tell me."Suji said.
Seokjin wasn't satisfied with her answer but said anyway,"Suji-ah,this house is haunted!!!!!"
Suji frowned.
Seokjin wasn't satisfied with this reaction either,"Don't worry Oppa will protect you."
"Don't make me laugh,"Suji said annoyed,"And how did you come to this conclusion?And Who is he?"Suji asked while pointing her finger at the unknown man.
"You know I've been experiencing creepy things ever since we've come here,right?"
Suji nodded.
"And today the worst thing happened...."Seokjin whisper yelled,"......THAT GHOST EMPTIED OUT MY SNACK DRAWER!!!"
Suji wanted to laugh but controlled herself.
Seokjin continued,"...I can deal with everything but not when someone takes my snacks.That ghost needs to go!!"
Suji again controlled her laughter.
Seokjin again continued,"So with the help of your Hoseok Oppa I've brought Mr.Paul Lee.He's a specialist of driving spirits away and purifying places."
"So you mean an exorcist?"Suji asked.
Seokjin shook his head,"Specialist of driving spirits away."
Suji said,"So an exorcist."
"NO!"Seokjin whisper yelled again,"Specialist of driving away.."
"So did he find any spirits?"Suji asked looking at Hoseok.
Before Hoseok could answer Mr.Paul Lee stopped whatever he was doing and looked at Suji and smiled,"Not yet,my child."He said trying to sound look a foreigner.
Suji wanted to laugh at his fake accent again.
"The spirit living here are quite cunning.They are hiding from me.But I will find them soon,"Mr.Paul Lee said and handed her a card.Suji took the card.
He even has a card.Oh!Fancy.
Suji looked at the card and wanted to burst into laughter but again stopped herself.
Paul Lee
Specializes in driving evil spirits away and purifying places.
MSc on Supernatural beings.
University of Florida.
Contact no:XXXXXXXXX
After handing Suji the card Mr.Paul went back to chanting.Suji looked at Seokjin and pulled him out of his room to the living room.
"What's wrong,Suji-ah?"Seokjin asked.
"Are you crazy?Can't you see your Mr.Paul Lee is a huge fraud?"
"Keep your voice down.And no he's not a fraud."
"Did you even look at his card?Msc in Supernatural beings?Wtf?"Suji asked,"If this isn't the most ridiculous thing ever I don't know what is!"
"But his clients are happy.I don't care if he's lying about having a degree.I'm happy as long as I get to eat my snacks alone in peace!!"Seokjin shouted.
"And about those snacks....how are you so sure that a ghost took them?Even I could take them!Why didn't you think about that!!"Suji shouted.
"You don't even like corn chips!!!"Seokjin shouted.
Suji took a deep breath,"Oppa,you know what?Do whatever you want!"
She said and went upstairs to her room.On the stairs she saw V leaning against the stairs and smiling,"Hi!"
"You heard my conversation with Oppa,didn't you?"
V nodded.
"What do you think about this Paul guy?"Suji said while walking up the stairs.
"He's a scammer.I was in front of him but he was oblivious."V said while following her up.
"I knew it!"Suji said,entered her room and sat on her bed.
V followed her in and sat on her study table.
"You think we can teach him a lesson?"Suji asked.
V smirked,"I was thinking the same."
It surprises him sometimes how much alike they think when it comes to mischiefs.
"I will go and call Taehyung.He would enjoy it too."V said.
Suji nodded.
After one hour of purifying other rooms Mr.Paul Lee stepped into Suji's room along with Seokjin and Hoseok.V and Taehyung were already there but only Suji could see them.
As soon as Paul stepped into her room he said,"I can sense some irregularities in this room!"
Seokjin and Hoseok widened their eyes.So did Suji.Could he sense the presence of the twins?Are they in trouble now.
But the next thing he said shocked Suji,"The spirit residing in this room is of a little girl who likes candies.She died an unnatural death and that is the reason she stays here waiting to get revenge!!"
"Revenge?"Hoseok asked gulping.
Suji again wanted to burst out with laughter,"Little girl?"
She swears this man couldn't be any funnier.She looked at the twins.V was laughing his ass off and Taehyung was trying really hard to control his laughter.
"So Mr.Lee.Why don't you do something about her?We would pay you extra!!"Suji said trying to sound scared.
Seokjin nodded.
"I would,"Mr.Lee said,"But as she is a stubborn one it would cost extra."
"No problem,"Seokjin said.
"So why don't you start your procedure?"Suji asked trying to sound convincing,"Seokjin Oppa and Hoseok Oppa,Why don't you guys get us something to eat?I'm starving."
Seokjin didn't want to leave Suji there alone but after some convincing he gave in and went to cook something with Hoseok.
Suji smirked as soon as they left and Mr.Lee started chanting his weird spell again.She looked at V and Taehyung.
It's show time.
Soon the lights of the room started flickering.After sometime the lights went out.Suji had closed every windows and doors of her room before hand so even if it's daytime the room became quite dark.
"Why did the lights go off,my child?"Mr.Lee stopped chanting and asked Suji
Suji smirked,"probably because you've angered the spirits living here Mr.Lee."
"What...?"Before Mr.Lee could finish V pulled his ponytail from behind harshly and Taehyung snatched the bottle from his hands.
"What?"Mr.Lee asked,scared.
V leaned in front of his ear and asked,"Revengeful spirit of a little girl?Why didn't you become the script writer of a cheap horror film?"
Mr.Lee was terrified now,"Who's speaking??"
Suji smirked.He forgot to talk in His American accent.He is talking like a Korean now.
Taehyung and V both appeared in front of him causing him to scream.
"Why're you so scared,adjusshi?I thought you were specialist in getting rid of spirits?"Suji asked while leaning against a wall.
Taehyung came close to him and said,"You scam people for money.You shouldn't live like that."
V said,"So why don't you just go away and rethink life decisions...you know..before we make you a spirit like us?"
"Hey..I guess that would be fun!"Taehyung said.
"No..please I'm sorry..please spare me!!"Mr.Lee said desperately.
"Then how about vowing that you would never scam people?"Suji asked.
Mr.Lee nodded desperately,"I swear to never do it ever again."
"If you break the vow you might as well say bye bye to your life,"V said and then let him go.
And after he was let go,Mr.Lee ran out of the room and out of the house like Usain bolt.
Seokjin and Hoseok were cooking but when they saw Mr.Lee running out of their house.Both of them were beyond confused.Even if they called him he didn't reply,just ran for his life.
Suji,Taehyung and V saw him running away from their roof.All of them laughed.
"It was so fun!!"Suji said and high fived V.
"Indeed!"V said.
Then Suji was about to high five Taehyung but he just looked at her raised palm and rolled his eyes before stuffing his hands back in his pocket and going into the rooftop room.
Suji just stared at her ignored raised palm and sighed.
Just last night Taehyung was telling her about how he started painting and how important it was to him and today he's being a jerk again.
Suji lowered her palm,looked away and sighed.
Why're you so hard to understand,Taehyung-ah?
But then she smiled again.
But at least Mr.Paul Lee MSc in Supernatural beings from University of Florida learnt a lesson today.
Hopefully he would neverrrr everrr fool anyone else.
