Humalakhak ako, so as Jin Young bago tinapik ni Jin Young yung balikat ni Chanyeol at hinatak ito papasok. Tumakbo rin ako pahabol sa kanila, kaya naunahan ko sila.

Bago kami pumasok, I stopped on my tracks. Hinarap ko sila both, and they did the same. "Wanna bet guys?" I challenged.

Jin Young's eyebrows raised in amusement, and Chanyeol just smirked.

"Bet on what?" Jin Young asked.

I shrugged. "Anyone who decided to be a kill joy in this event has to share two of his secret per ride he or she passed up. Deal?"

Chanyeol raised a brow, and remained smirking at me. Tumango siya, never taking his eyes from me. "What if you chickened-out Janella?"

I laughed out loud, "Then I'll take the punishment if I did that."

Jin Young laughed with me too. "Doubt it. Our second ride is a haunted house, girls like you..." umiling si Jin Young. "I bet you'll barely even last 5 minutes inside."

My eyebrows raised in his statement. "Jin Young, not all girls are like that. You can't say I'm the same just because of your experiences. You can't generalize all too, beside I'm a filipina, not a koreana, so how did you know, I won't last in that haunted house?"

"Well then, let's go see for ourselves." Chanyeol shrugged, tsaka hinatak kami ni Jin Young papasok. At first okay pa talaga ako, hanggang pumasok kami ng elevator. But when the lady in charged said start, bigla nagbrown out! My heart's beating fast and yes, natatakot na ako! Pa on off-on off yung ilaw, and tumataas yung ceiling. I'm not particularly sure if tumatataas talaga yung ceiling o bumababa lang kami. May nagsasalita ng kung ano ano kababalaghang man yon. Korean e, so pangap-pangap rin minsan na naiintindihan. Medjo napatalon pa ako dun sa batang sumigaw sa takot!

I cling my arms into someone. I don't know kung sino siya dahil madilim, and wala na ako sa tamang ulirat para alamin man kung sino itong hinahawakan ko. Jusko Lord. The person I'm clinging to chuckled. He leaned near my ear, "You're scared." He concluded.

Inirapan ko siya kahit alam kong useless rin dahil madilim. I never removed my hands from his arms, hindi rin naman niya tinulak mga kamay ko. I'm grateful for that though. Instead, hinawakan niya pa ng mahigpit kamay ko.

Totoong takot ako, but his movement made me focus all my attention instead to him. Yung ginawa niya and yung warmth of his hands. He entwined our fingers at hinawakan itong mahigpit. He leaned close to my ear, nagtaasan balahibo ng batok ko, I could even feel his hot minty breath near my nape.

"Don't be, I'm here for you, Little Duckie. I'll protect you." He breathlessly whispered.

Napahinto kaba at takot ko sa marahan niyang bulong. My mind immediately went haywired by what he said. Little duckie...could he be....

I let out a sigh of relief nang nahatak ako palabas sa stupid haunted house na yon. Ang dami pang lusot lusotan dun, may ibang lusot na may nakaabang na multo kaya nakapikit ako habang hinahatak niya ako palabas. Sadly, hindi ko alam ngyari kay Chanyeol dahil wala siya sa pinaglusutan namin. Siguro nagkahiwalay kami kasi sobrang dilim dun sa elevator.

Okay, scary nga siya. Akala ko naman tulad lang siya ng mga haunted houses sa philippines. Guess I was wrong... or not... baka masnatakot ako kasi hindi ko maintindihan masyado pinagsasabi nila.

"You okay?" He asked, still holding my hand.

Nanatili ng ilang segundo mata ko dun, bago inaangat yon para makita yung nagsalita.

"Yeah." I mumbled softly.

I couldn't forget the things he said a while ago. Nashookt ako dun, bigla bigla rin siya nagsasalita ng ganun. Jin Young rarely do stuffs or say stuffs like that too.
