Jihan POV
"Can we do !"
"We can do!"
"Weeekly !" All of us cheered and let go of our balloons. Today we decided to send balloons up in the air, it's a sort of memory to remember the After School era. Our mini album consisting of the song After School gained lots of attention from international fans. We walked back to the car while watching the balloons fly away.
"Another era passed....why does time go by so fast" I sadly said, Soojin side-hugged me and tried to cheer me up. "We'll work harder for our next album and hopefully a lot of people like our songs" She said. Soeun and Jiyoon walked backwards and faced us.
"Wanna do an exorcism ?" Soeun suddenly said while smiling like a maniac
"WHAT ?!?" Soojin immediately whipped her head to send death glares at Soeun
"She meant a sleepover that girls usually have" Jiyoon explained while letting out an amused laugh, we all laughed a bit looking at Soojin Unnie. I could tell Soojin was still shocked at the idea of an exorcism, her mouth was hanging open that I think a fly is going to come in.
"Yeah cmon guys, it's been so long since we had a fun sleepover" Jaehee said trying to make us agree.
"Sure, let's go it. I don't even remember the last time we had a movie night" Zoa says while jumping on Monday's back. "I'm down if I don't end up having a sore neck the next day" Monday said and we all chuckled. The last time we had a movie night, we ended up sleeping on the couch. All of us slept comfortably, couldn't say the same for Monday unnie though. She slept sitting up so the next morning her neck and back was super sore.
I smiled at the thought of having a sleepover, I was sure it was going to be fun. So I said yes, after hours of pouting Soojin finally agreed too.
Zoa POV
07.38 pm
We all met at the couch, we decided to wear our pajamas so if we got too tired to move we could still sleep comfortably.
"So now what should we do ?" Zoa asked
"I don't know, my brain isn't working right now" Soeun said while staring at the black TV
"Let's a play a game to decide what movie to watch" Soojin suggested
All of us nodded, after debating like crazy people picking their biases we finally decided on the game 'Roll call game'. Teasing, Shouting, and a lot of bickering later, Monday won and chose a movie called 'Five feet apart'. None of us have watched the movie before, so we just sat and watched the movie peacefully.
09.56 pm
The movie had ended and none of us moved even an inch. The only thing that was surrounding us was silence.
"Why didn't you tell us it was a sad movie dammit !!" Jihan shouted, her voice cracking a bit. It was obvious that none of us survived the movie without letting out a few tears.
"I thought it was a comedy" Monday replied slowly while taking a few tissues and passed it to the members.
After a few minutes of nose sniffling and silence, we decided to not talk about the movie because the ending is just too sad to bare.
"I think Stella should've-" Soojin cut off Jaehee by putting her hand on her mouth. "Anyone want to share some stories ?" Soojin said
"Nothing is ever on fire, fire is always on things." I blurted out, all the members looked at me with confusion laced in their faces. "I- I can't even-" Monday was flabbergasted. "I'm going to the bathroom and think about what you just said" she said. "Me too" Jihan stood with her eyes wide open, 'I mean, was I wrong ?' I thought to myself.
Monday POV
I went to the bathroom and I was on my way to wash my hands when I heard something weird coming from my room. I went in to investigate, I thought it was Jaehee that came into the room or someone. When I saw no one I started to get suspicious, I went closer to the source but when I got to the edge of the room the door suddenly squeaked. I looked back and saw the door slowly closing. I panicked and ran outside the door, Jihan was walking back to the couch so she was the closest culprit.
I grabbed her wrist and asked "Did you do that ?"
"Do what ?" She asked back
"Close the door" I said
"No, I thought you closed it yourself." She answered
We both widened our eyes and ran to the couch. When we got to the couch, we immediately burried ourselves in the blankets. The other members were looking at us weirdly I wanted to explain but I needed time to catch my breath.
"Ghost.....Room......Tired" I said between breaths and they looked at us like we were crazy. Once I caught my breath I explained to them what happened, they just thought it was the wind or something. The wind theory made sense though because our window was open, so I went back to listening their conversations.
"Okay....anyways let's talk about horror stories" Jiyoon said while clapping her hands, I sent her an 'are you serious' look. If looks could kill I'm pretty sure both Jihan and I would be murderers right now.
Jiyoon shrugged it off and told us her first story, "when I was a kid, I once went to a haunted house and saw real blood there, like just fresh red blood." All the members sat there listening intently
"There was a trail of blood and me being curious followed it,.....then when I saw the person..." then she went silent to build suspense, we were all waiting till she finally said
"turns out his nose bled when I punched him at the house entrance" She finished with a big smile.
Jaehee and I made eye contact and held tight to the pillows next to us, after a few seconds Jaehee and I threw the pillow straight at Jiyoon's face.
"I'm not even going to ask" Soeun said while closing her eyes and rubbing her forehead.
"When I was acting, someone walked up to me and said that this place used to be haunted. I ignored that person and continued acting. When my part was done, I went to the bathroom and washed my hands. Then for a split second I saw a shadow in the bathroom" Jaehee wanted to continue when she was cut off
"Ah I'm getting chills" Jihan said "Continue, continue"
"I went to come closer to the shadow-" Jaehee continued but was cut off
"Why would you even come closer to the thing" I said while thinking what kind of kid wanted to meet a gho-
"To make friends with it duh" Jaehee bluntly said
I take back my words.
"When I opened the bathroom door, I saw no one there. But I felt a presence like something was standing in front of me. Then that something was suddenly gone, I actually felt it. It was like I took a deep breath after holding it for so long. It felt really weird but it was definitely an experience" Jaehee's story came to an end
"Wah that's so frightening" Zoa said
"I know right" Jaehee commented back
"Soojin do you have any stories ?" Soeun asked
Soojin POV
I actually have a story, but the story happens here so I'm not sure I should tell them. I think they should know though besides it may just be my imagination.
"Yes I do actually" I said
"Tell us tell us" Jiyoon persuades
"It actually happened around last month I think" I tried to hint them that this may be a story they didn't want to hear.
They didn't get the hint, but only ended up being interested in the story.
"Cmon tell us" Jaehe pushed
I finally gave in and told them the story.
"One day I forgot my hair pin that I really wanted to wear, I went back to our dorm and wanted to take that because I really wanted to use it. I closed the door when I stepped in our doormat, you know the welcome mat that we used to place at the door ?" I asked, all of them nodded with anticipating eyes. Sigh, I'm going to feel so guilty tonight if they can't sleep.
"It felt...eerie. That was the first thought that I had when I stepped on the mat, suddenly there was a knock."
"This uhm.....happened at our dorm Unnie ? Zoa cut me off, I nodded confidently.
"Are you all sure you want me to continue the story ?" I asked to make sure, they nodded again.
"I thought it was one of you guys when I heard the knock, when I opened it there was seriously no one there. I thought I was just imagining things at first, then when I walked pass our table I heard the exact same knock rhythm."
"What how could you remember the rhythm ?" Soeun curiously asked
"I went like this" I wanted to demonstrate the knock I heard by knocking at the table. When I wanted to knock the first rhythm, there was a knock at the door. I widened my eyes hearing the knock, first why would someone knock when we were talking about my knocking incident. Second, why was the rhythm exactly like what I heard that day.
"Who would be crazy enough to knock at our door at..." Jiyoon stopped talking to look at the clock "10.30 pm"
"Wait let me check" Monday volunteered, When she stood up I quickly grabbed her arm signaling her to stop.
"That was the exact rhythm I heard that day..." I trailed off.
"Could it be..the ghost that closed my door ?"Monday asked looking at Jihan. All of us froze and after looking at each other's eyes, we took little steps towards the door. When we arrived at the door, all of them stared at one of the members. Apparently all of us looked at the same member, while she just looked at us in disbelief.
Soeun POV
"Wae, why are you all looking at me" I said half-whispering, half-whining. They just pushed me and looked at the door. I opened the door and nobody was at the door, just like Soojin Unnie's story. After I looked around, I gave up in looking for the thing that knocked on our door. Just when I was just closing the door, a gust of wind went through me and I froze momentarily. 'Think good thoughts Soeun, think good thoughts' I repeatedly said to my panicking self. Maybe it was just a nice ghost that wanted to visit us, or maybe the wind was just a really big fan of Weeekly. Yeah, definitely not the latter. While I was standing there, the other members was already sitting on the couch looking at me.
My evil side came out and it was the perfect chance to prank them. I'm sure they saw the wind that passed me, they could think that the wind was been a ghost that possessed me.
"Soeun...?" Jaehee's voice was shaking
"Yah Soeun, it isn't funny" Jiyoon started to panic while standing up a bit.
I slowly started to walked to them putting on my pocker face and they all started to stand up. Nearing the couch, I started to make quicker steps while making weird sounds.
I took a final step and screamed like a madwoman. All of them screamed and ran to the sink. They were all ready with their pillows at this point, so I stopped acting. Monday seriously brought the TV remote and almost threw it at me. It was a good laugh and stress reliever, all the other members just threw the pillows at me in anger I think I'm going to end up with bruises tomorrow. But I think it made them momentarily forget about the ghost, replaced with their raging desire to kill me for pranking them.
After arguing and debating wether they should kick me out of the dorm, we finally agreed on forgetting this moment and went outside.
Third person POV
Weeekly set up a sort of bed/tent contraption, it was the best they could do since they were all still a bit traumatized from the ghost prank Soeun set up. They layed there, looking at the stars, with each other.
"We can't be like this again you know" Jaehee says sadly
"Yeah" Jiyoon trailed off
The other members sighed and knew it was true, they were going to be busy with their comeback schedule and new songs.
"Let's rememberer this memory forever" Zoa says while standing up, the other members just looked at her with confused eyes. Zoa ran to the couch and took her phone, she wanted to take pictures about this magical night. They posed and took a few pictures, one with cute faces, one with silly poses, and one with genuine smiles. Zoa sent them the pictures and added it to her favorites herself, after their little photoshoot continued laying there looking at constellations. Zoa played background music and enjoyed the moment they were living in. One by one the members slowly started to doze off to sleep, the last one was Soojin.
Before she slept she looked at each one of the members, as the leader she had a lot of worries. Just then, a shooting star passed by and she closed her eyes and made her wish.
"I wish to be the best leader and unnie that I can be to them" I muttered while clasping my hands.
Slowly after making my wish, I fell asleep hoping my wish will come true.
The next morning they woke up and got ready for their day to day basis. In the kitchen they were having their usual breakfast.
"Let's make a promise to try and make time for sleepovers like this again" Monday holds her water out, the other members join and looked at each other seriously.
"To movie nights and more memories to come" Soojin says, they all clinked their glasses and made that promise. Not just to the other members, but to themselves too.
