(Chapter 7)
Jungkook finished explaining the story from last year and waited for Chaeyoung's reaction.
She didn't look like she was scared or amazed, just a blank expression
"And again, I'm not making this up"
She stared at him blankly after he said this
"I have wasted 20 minutes of my life," Chaeyoung complained
Jungkook then looked at her with an offended face.
"Are you serious right now?"
She stood up and walked to the door
"Where are you going?"
He asked
"Story time's over isn't it?"
Jungkook then scoffed while she walked out of the room
He ran after her to the game section
"Are you trying to pretend as nothing happened?"
He questioned her angrily while she inserts the coins
"Of course- Like why is this even related to me-Like all those little fictional stories like Jimin and the monster and TWELVE WITH THE LA-"
Jungkook immediately covers her mouth with his hand, not letting her expose anything
"Son Chaeyoung. I was serious."
He warned her with a serious look
"No, wait- for real?"
"I wish I wasn't."

Daniel and Jin held the bucket of raw and fresh meat as they walk inside the woods
"So basically you adopted a pet that you knew would turn into a monster but you still kept it to impress a girl?"
"Ok it wasn't that bad, we built a relationship. I think that demo-dog recognizes me"
"Funny. That creature could have eaten you alive"
"It's not that terrible okay?"
"Not that terrible. that thing ate your bird"
"It was hungry okay? Not like birds live forever"
They continued to spread the raw meat and throw them on the trails
"Did you contacted the other knuckleheads"
Daniel asked
"Yes I did, none of them answered"
"Stupid Kids shit"
"Oh, if you think you're so mature then why did you end up here?"
"Jihyo broke up with me okay? I was going to the restaurant but then YOU CALLED ME"
"Well I guess thank you"
Jin thanked him as he takes out his walkie talkie
He pressed the button and called all of the group members.
"Jungkook code red, I repeat its god damn code red"
Heejin then sneaked into Jungkook's room, hearing the phone rang.
She picked up the walkie talkie and shouted
"I have a code for you. It's called code SHUT UP."
She turned off the device and walked outside
"Heejin? HEEJIN?! HELLO?"
—
It's getting late, the sun is setting and the skies are getting dark. The temperature is turning cold as well.
Jihyo and her parents explored the pumpkin field for almost an hour now, nothing was found.
Rose then walked over to a bowl-shaped ground, it looked like someone had to dig it before.
She stepped closer and saw a hole in the middle.
She then called Jack and Jihyo to check the scenario.
They quickly took some tools and dig a larger hole.
It looked like there's something inside.
Rose climbed in as she saw the tangled black lines and the grey floating chips in mid-air.
It reminds her of the upside-down last year, it looked so familiar.
She and Jack climbed in and searched for Chanyeol, the lurked around with a torch while Jihyo sits up there and accompany them.
Two of them kept calling for his name, looking for him.
Rose then noticed a hand laying on the ground, with a body tangled up with black snakes.
"CHANYEOL! JESUS"
Two of them quickly helped him untangle and lift him.
"ARE YOU OK?" Jack asked
Chanyeol looked so exhausted that he can't even talk.
"C'mon let's go"
They have rescued him successfully.
As they climb out, they saw many white vans that have a label called "Seoul laboratory" on it
As people dress in white protective costumes came out of the van, they bought many tools with them and climbed down to the tunnel Rose just went in.
A worker took out a fire explosive gun and shoot it directly at those black and slimy snakes. The scene was satisfying.
As the other workers all help to clean up the place, Jimin randomly started to feel nauseous.
He stood there watching them as the other family members check on Chanyeol.
The more fire enters the hole, the more his stomach stings.
The pain starts to grow larger and hurt more, he pressed onto his stomach with his hands to relieve the pain but it doesn't help.
He kneeled and held his stomach by one hand.
"JIMIN" Jihyo yelled as the others came to him, seeing him acting strange
"Jimin, what's happening"
"Stop, stop, stop, STOP"
Jimin then felt weak and dizzy, sooner he passed out on the ground once again, but this time it got worse
His body was vibrating and shaking rapidly, his eyes were white and he couldn't hear anything
—
It's currently 6:30, the sky is now light purple.
Jungkook came back home after talking to Chaeyoung.
He opens the door to his room as sees his little sister Heejin sitting there.
"And why are you in my room again?"
Jungkook crossed his arms, looking at Heejin angrily.
He looked so pissed, watching her play with her stupid dolls
"Is that- Is that my fucking CAPTAIN AMERICA MODEL THAT I BOUGHT FOR FIFTY DOLLARS?!"
He shouted in anger when he saw her destroying his property
"JEON HEEJIN GIVE IT BACK"
"Okay fine! Not like it's good quality or sum"
She snitched
"By the way, your friend was ringing you like an idiot just now"
She said as she walks out
"Wha- who?"
"That dude Jin, Code red code red"
She mocked Jin in a funny way
Jungkook's eyes widen as he hears this, he hurriedly grabs the speaker and called Jin
—
"So, how are you feeling right now, Jimin?"
The doctor asked Jimin as he checks his body
Jimin was not in the mood to speak, eat, walk, or do anything else.
"Dizzy"
He expressed
"Ok, let's take this one slow, it's tough, but we will get through it ok?"
The doctor comforted him
He nodded in tiredness
"Now, we must let you do a test, I will bring in a sorcery, and you need to react to it and tell me how you feel, is that clear?"
"Yes"
The adults stood beside Jimin as the workers bring in a tray of disgusting objects the lab took from the hole.
In the clear box, there's a slimy rectangular tail wobbling around, it even makes disturbing noises while moving.
Its disgusting skin is covered in blood and a dirty red shade.
One of the workers took the lighter and startled the fire, he then walked closer to the object and start aiming at it.
Doctor Heechul looks at Jimin as the workers operate the experiment.
Jimin tried not to look at the thing in the box, it grosses him out.
He then started to notice a sharp and stingy feeling in his stomach.
He flinched his shoulders and held tight to the bedsheets.
Chanyeol and his family members noticed and watched him with nerves on their face
"It's- so- stingy"
Jimin described while holding his breath, trying not the feel the pain
The man moved the lighter even closer to the tail
Jimin then yelled in pain while shaking his body
"Right, let's stop now."
The doctor ordered
"I see what happened"
The doctor walked outside the room with Rose and Jack, talking to them about the problems.
"Doctor? What's going on?"
Rose asked with a quiver in her voice
"Ma'am, please stay calm. We will host a meeting in 10 minutes, I will explain the situation to you soon as possible. Please remain calm, we will have it handled."
The doctor walked away after he finished his sentences.
—
Tae and Sana have been cuddling on the sofa for almost one hour now, everything seems so chill and relaxed. No worries, just some spare time with each other.
He lay his body on the sofa while Sana rests her head on his chest.
The two have chatted for so long, giggling and smiling so brightly.
He puts his hand down her waist as he continues to talk.
"You smell so nice"
He complimented
She then giggled softly
"Agh I wish we could stay like this forever" he whined
"Mm"
"What do you think Jin is doing right now?"
"Don't know"
"Anyways, let's forget about the others"
"What have you been doing for the past year?"
He asked
"Watching TV, some drama" she replied
"Cool"
"Why do some TVs have people taking off their shirts and putting their lips together while sleeping in the bed?"
She asked with innocence
"I-"
"It's really weird, I still like it tho"
"Twelve- that's actually um-"
"I think we should do it too, it looks very funny"
"Er-"
Taehyung then stared at her lips and almost pecked on hers, unfortunately, a phone call ruined this moment.
They both stopped and stood up.
"Ugh- this stupid call"
Taehyung picked up and greeted
"Hello?"
"Taehyung it's me, Jin, meet me at the woods. Now, this is not negotiable."
—
"Here, drink this, you'll feel better"
The doctor handed Jimin a glass of green vegetable juice for better treatment.
"Jimin, your friend, Mina, she came here just now"
Rose said to him as she pats his back
"She left?" He softly mumbled
"Probably, I told her to keep herself safe so she went home"
Jack said to Jimin
Jimin sighed in disappointment when he heard him speaking, he looked over to the window and saw Mina walking away.
"Argh- my notebook" Mina said to herself as she realized she forgot her notebook
As she head in the lab's direction to get her things, Jimin raised his eyebrows and low-key smiled
"Mum she's coming back!"
Rose awkwardly smiled as she tries to keep everyone away from Jimin
"Hello, sir! Sorry I just forgot my notebook in the bag"
Mina announced to the worker in the hallway
"Mina!"
Jimin yelled
"Jimin! Hi!"
"Come and sit down!" Jimin offered
Rose and Jack stare in confusion but still went with the flow.
—
Kai breathed heavily as he does his workout routine in the living room while booming some music.
While Chaeyoung is sitting inside her room, taping her skateboard.
Kai then heard a knock from the front door, he was too busy to check it so he called Chaeyoung
"Chae"
She ignored him
"CHAE"
"Okay, I'm coming! Jesus"
She went out of her room and slammed the door in annoyance
"Watch your attitude."
She then rolled her eyes.
She opened the door with no hesitation and see who it is
Her eyes widened in horror
She immediately closed the door and looked behind
"What. Are. You. Doing. Here."
She asked seriously
"First, I need your help. Second, this is going to be fun."
Jungkook grinned in awkwardness after offering her
"What do you want."
Jungkook then told her what happened previously
Chaeyoung sighed once again and went back into the house
"I'll meet you there?"
"Whatever. Douche bag."
She closed the door and walked back into her house.
She then saw Kai standing there still exercising, but staring at her with a mysterious gaze.
"Who was that?"
He asked
"No, it's just some people from church. Probably offering some charity stuff"
Chaeyoung replied nervously
"And why did they took so long to talk?"
He questioned once again
"Well- those are- talkative ones"
She said with awkwardness and walked back into her room
Kai ignored and let her go
"Psssst!"
Jungkooo whispered nearby the window, sitting on his bike and waiting for Chaeyoung to climb out
"Okay! Jesus shut up!"
She hop out of the window and sat behind his bike
"This better be fun stalker."
—
"So was it that you're talking about?"
"Who?"
Jin responded to Daniel
"The girl?"
"Chaeyoung?"
"Yea."
"Well we met at the arcade, she's pretty cool"
Daniel nodded and twirl his lips
"Jin!"
Jungkook yelled from behind, biking to get them
"Jesus he finally knows how to show up"
"I swear to god y'all some morons" Daniel snitched
Jungkook got off the bike and rolled his eyes.
As jin looked at Chaeyoung with confusion in his eyes, he turned to Jungkook and asked
"What is she doing here?!"
"What?! I thought you liked her?"
"Yea but-"
"Hey! Dickheads! Come and help me out with this random girl"
—
It's now getting late, Jimin went to sleep and Mina stayed beside him to watch him sleep.
Rose and Jack stood outside and talked to the doctor, hopefully, everything will be fine.
Jimin was falling into sleep peacefully but then he randomly start breathing so heavily.
The breaths are getting disturbing
Mina got near him and checked what's wrong
"Jimin?"
Jimin wouldn't stop that noise
"Hey? Jimin? You ok?"
She shook his arm a little bit
"Jimin?"
His eyes suddenly blinking on their own, revealing the white parts of his eyes
Mina got scared and stepped back
Jimin's body started shaking heavily, making the bed move
Rose and Jack noticed and quickly came inside
Jimin immediately woke up and sat up as nothing happened
He was behaving like a maniac, it's so terrifying
"What's happening?"
Jack whispered
Jimin turned his face to the doctor and stared at him intensely
Everybody in the room was so confused and lost.
"You shouldn't have done that. You shouldn't have upset him. Now he knows."
