"Oh my god beomgyu! You okay?!" She ran to the younger who is shaking in fear and pull him into her embrace.
After asking for so many time beomgyu finally explained what he has seen and when his grandparents listen to him, their face becomes pale in fear.
Beomgyu gets more anxious and confused by their sudden serious expressions. He starts to ask what is going on and why they seems so terrified.
"Beomgyu, you come across something you should've never" His grandpa mumbled, making him more scared.
"What do you mean-n" beomgyu asked
"I thought it has disappeared decades ago?" He hears his grandma saying to his grandpa.
His grandfather take a deep breath before looking at beomgyu again. "What you had seen in the forest, the lady, it's not a normal thing, it's a paranormal entity called The tall lady who haunts young people, whom she likes as her target she will take them away in few days" His grandfather explained, making beomgyu's eyes went wide and his eyes filled with tears.
"But we will try out best to protect you, I had already informed your parents to come And take you" His grandmother said to the Crying boy in his grandfather's arms.
The night fell over the countryside, everyone goes back to their respective house and the atmosphere is dark and silent.
Beomgyu was sitting inside the room, a small dark room , only a candle was making the room a bit light up. The windows was covered with curtains, and there was four bowls filled with salt placed in four corners of the room, because only that's can protect him temporarily now.
His grandfather said when his parents will arrive at morning he will get him out of the room but for now he has to survive through the night because they don't have any other way now except this.
His head laid down on the table, sobbing quietly and wondering when the night will come to end and he can get over it, he doesn't want anything bad happens to him.
He was sobbing quietly then suddenly he hears a knock on the door, "Beomgyu-ah" his grandmother's voice, calling him with the soft tone she always use for him.
"Are you okay Inside there?" Beomgyu looks up at the door before wiping his tears away from his cheeks. "Yeah-h, I am okay" he answered with his low tone but enough to hear by the person outside.
"Aw my poor child, come out and eat something" His grandmother said from outside the door, beomgyu hesitate at first but then he slowly gets up from where he was sitting, walking over the door.
He was about to open the door but then suddenly he felt something is wrong as he left his hand on the knob. "Grandma, it's you-u right-t?" He asks, his voice shaking in fear.
No answer come from the other side
Only silence
Then again he hears those sounds
" Po , Po , Po "
Beomgyu felt back at his knees when he heard the sound, the sounds was coming along with a creepy loud laugh . Beomgyu's heart gripping in fear as he turns around his room to see the bowls full of white salt is now turning black
He runs to the corner of room and sit there, hugging his knees as he buried his face, sobbing loudly. The Laughing sound echoes through the room, and it was getting loud. Then again everything filled with silence.
Beomgyu slowly looks up with his red fluffy eyes as he take a look around the room, feeling suspicious about the silence. Until he hears a creepy manly voice saying "beomgyu, come with me"
Beomgyu burst into more tears as he just can't bear it anymore, this is giving him trauma right now.
