Experiment 360

26-games

You couldn't tell how long you'd been back in the Institute, maybe a few hours...maybe a few days....weeks.

Time was a dead end here, there was no sleep, wake up , stay up and sleep again.

It was more like sleep when you could, but stay up mostly in case someone decided to come into your cell and kill you.

You hadn't seen Taehyung or Jimin for a while, you were pretty sure they were moved after Hoseok decided "you'd look pretty dressed with orangey flames"

Hoseok...

He was...different

He wasn't...all there

The man was psychotic

His angelic features were a large contrast to the twisted mix of childlike wonder and absolute darkness jumbled up inside his heart.

His face was captivating, every slope lead to another profile and line of perfection, he looked like someone you'd trust. He was a difficult one to pin, he seemed like a child playing with his toys.

The cell door opened with a creek and the same captivating smile appeared again, "Hi y/n! You look adorable as always" he stopped for a moment and looked upset, he began hitting himself in the head harshly, you winced as signs of blood appeared, "stupid Hoseok she's not y/n she's 360!" He howled loudly and the halls were stripped of their muffled screams and grumbles of other numbers

You felt bad for him, he seemed like a little boy, lost without a place to return to, you didn't even want to imagine how he got this way.

"Are you ready for today, 360? We have a lot planned, it's gonna be such a fun day, just the two of us!" His smile glistened in the dim cell as he clapped his hands together

"H-Hoseok...we're friends...right?" You looked at him with a hint of hope, he stared back at you, he was confused for a second, but then, he smiled, "Of course 360...you're my best friend, you let me play with you!" You looked up at the man, his eyes gleamed with a childlike glow

"Actually y/n..." he said with a slight blush, "I have a crush on you" he spoke quietly and nervously

"You're so pretty and you listen to me all the time, none of my other friends let me do the things I do to you without getting angry at me" he whined a bit, "but you're a good girl" he smiled and pat your head, you jolted slightly at the sudden contact.

After a while of ingesting the disturbing thoughts of none other than Jung hoseok, you put on a bright smile

"Really...I-I like you too.....Hobi" you forced out in a cute tone, you watched as his face turned red and his eyes went wide.

"Really...you even made up a nickname for me!" He bounced excitedly all the while getting closer and closer to you, his features becoming more and more obvious in the dark room

You frowned and looked away from the man, oddly, he seemed to notice. "What's wrong...y/n" he asked concerned

You looked up "as long as we're in here...we can't go out" you looked into the disappointed eyes of his

"Y-yes we can, w-we'll keep a secret. I like you and you like me...so we can date" he spoke quicker, panicking.

"No, hoseok, it's too dangerous, I don't want...you to get hurt" you looked away from the man

"Y-y/n" his voice was upset and quiet now

"Well...there is one way we could be together" you looked up, hopeful

"Yeah" the man sprung up in anticipation

"We could run away...where no one could find us..you and me...together" you gulped, searching his face for an answer, praying to anything or anyone that was listening, that he would agree

His head dropped, "y/n are you trying to trick me" his voice was low and his hands were clenching and unclenching, clenching and unclenching over and over again

"N-no...hobi...I love you! I wanna be with you, please let's get out of here" you tried desperately to hang on to your last bit of hope

You watched as the man quickened his pacing, his hands sporadically brushing and grabbing at his hair as the riotous whispers to himself filled the room.

"360, you tried to trick me....you think I'm stupid?!" He paced quickly, eyes wide, you wondered who the real wild animal was now. His lips were moist with saliva as his words became loud and sloppy, an occasional drop of liquid would come out as he spit his chaotic chatter.

"No-no hoseok please" your voice became low and frightened, he was unstable, about to brake, you didn't know what would happen if he broke.

"We-we need to kill her, she tried to trick us!" His back was to you now, speaking, seemingly, to himself.

You buried yourself farther into the back of the room

He turned around and all you could see in the bleak darkness were his glowing eyes, green and yellow mixed like Lily's in a pond.

"Y/n...." he spoke with a soft and taunting voice, "y/n let's play" he smiled as he walked towards you

As he opened his mouth to smile you couldn't help but gasp at the numerous points that replaced many of his previous straight and perfect teeth.

"Hoseok-who are you" you shivered at the sight of cool green scales forming sparingly on the sides of his cheeks and forehead

"No, no y/n....what am I?" In one swift movement the man had you by the neck, you barely saw him move, he was incredibly fast.

"Hmm, what should we play...y/n?" His voice became sly and snake like, his claws began digging in to your neck every second you didn't answer.

"I guess I'll choose then" he looked around, his eyes stopped and he held up a finger, the edge of his sharp nail glistened as it caught the small amount of light entering the cell

"I think...truth or dare" he smiled, his sharp teeth on display.

"T-truth" you choked out, his smile fell a bit until it morphed back into its sky shape.

"Okay...what would you do if....I told you your friends were already dead?" He smiled wider and laughed, your face dropped and your eyes glazed over

"S-stop making jokes" you spoke shaky

"I choose truth then...my truth is...your friends are as dead as can be!" He smiled wildly and let out a screech of laughter, he let you go and paced around the room until he finally walked out, leaving the smaller crack open to whisper one final word

"And you're next too" you saw through the crack as his teeth morphed back into his perfection and the green tint left his eye

Then the door closed and the only image in your head was one of beaten and bloodied jimin and taehyung lying lifeless on the ground
