TAEHYUNG'S POV

I grimaced as soon as I gained consciousness. With my throat parched and my mouth tasting like trash, not like I already tasted trash, but I want to say that to prove how awful my situation is.

I felt someone help me up in a sitting position, when I realized who it was I spoke softly, "Kookie what happened?"

"You puked on yourself, hyungie. Don't worry I already changed your clothes and cleaned the floor." He replied as he gave me a glass of water, which I thank him for doing so. He rubbed my back as I drink my water. This boy is precious, I swear.

"Where are the others?" I asked. He gestured with his pouting lips, pointing at the left. I looked to where he was pointing at and saw Jimin on the corner holding on his legs, close to his chest, rocking back and forth with a terrified look on his face. Oh... Now I remember.

I looked at the bed and see Loriel looking at me with teary eyes. I want to hold her, but we know we can't do that. I mouthed her a 'sorry' knowing we cannot  do something about it.

" Jimin you have to stop this! You look crazy!" Jin hyung exclaimed, seemingly frustrated at the other.

"I'M NOT CRAZY!" Jimin yelled. "Why can't you see her?!?" He added, panicking as the time passes by.

"Jiminie, you are scaring me. I swear!" Hobi hyung cutted in, bitting on his nails as he moves closer to Jin hyung's back to shield his terrified self.

"Jimin p-please. It's me." Loriel pleaded moving closer again to the said man

"WAHHHH!!! DON'T COME CLOSER! HELP ME!" Jimin screamed, making all of us flinch, and backed up even more to the wall, even if there are no space left between his back and the wall.

"Hyungie, why is Jimin acting like that? I honestly don't see anything." Jungkook sighed.

"JIMIN YOU NEED TO STOP! HOW DARE YOU TREAT LORIEL AS A DEAD PERSON?! TAEHYUNG AND HER JUST HAD A DATE! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU ON ABOUT?! DID YOU REALLY HIT YOUR HEAD THAT HARD?!" Jin hyung kept scolding the other. But Jimin stayed still on his place, not really listening to what the the elder is saying.

"I'M TELLING YOU IT'S TRUE! WHY CAN'T YOU BELIEVE ME?!" Jiminie cried out. I felt guilty about the trauma he must have been experiencing, but I can't find the words to explain things to the boys. I looked at Loriel and saw her muttering 'help'. Aishhhh I hope this will end well. *sighs*

I stood up and spoke in a clear and firm voice, "Jimin is saying the truth." I told them. I gulped loudy hoping things will be alright from here on. "I knew it!" Jimin hyung says.

"IS THIS SOME KIND OF SICK JOKE?! TAEHYUNG IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Jin hyung scolded. I can feel how pissed he is already.

"I'm not joking hyung. Loriel is really here. She's at the bed." I replied calmly; not wanting to piss him off even more. Jin hyung looked at me straight in the eye and spoke, "Then how are you able to go on a date? Are you saying that you are dating that  ghost?"

"Yes."

"Bullshit!"

"I'M NOT LYING!"

"Then prove it." Jin hyung muttered. His face filled with seriousness. I pursed my lip, "I can't." I aid to him.

"See?!" He exclaimed. "The two of you!" He pointed at me and Jiminie, "Joke's over so clean up your mess." Jin hyung sighed and stood up before walking towards the door.

Then the unthinkable happened.


The door suddenly slammed close, which shocked everyone in the room. And the cause was Loriel. SHE  closed the door. I don't know how or why, but it happened. Looks like she isn't aware also as to how.

"SHE CLOSED IT!" Jiminie screeches, making the others get scared. Jin hyung nervously laughed and replied. "I-It's probably the wind." He tried explaining. Then Loriel locked the door. This time everyone was getting creeped out. Jin hyung tried to escape the room, but he cannot get out.

The other boys are crying out of fear. Jimin and Hobi hyung are hugging each other, while Kookie holds on to me for dear life. Jin hyung fell on his butt also terrified of the things happening.

"Hyungieee I'm scared." Jungkook sobbed tears running down his face. Loriel felt guilty so she moved towards us and tried to say sorry, but other doesn't hear any of what she was saying.

"Tell them I'll open the door if they believe that I'm here." Loriel told me. I nodded in agreement.

"She says she'll open the door if you believe that she's really here." I told the others. Jin hyung tried to be strong, so he answered, "I don't believe you!"

Loriel got pissed so she turned off the lights, making everyone panic.  A series of 'Yes, I believe now!' sounded in the room including Jin hyung's voice.

At this moment, the light's turn on and the door slammed open. All of them ran out of the room, scrambling on their feet, leaving me and Loriel, all alone.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"I'm okay, but I'm sad that they cannot see me." She pouted. I tried patting her back to comfort her just to see if it will work, but sadly it didn't. This time it's my turn to pout. "So, how did you do those things? I can't even hold you!" I asked.

"I honestly do not know. I just did it without thinking." She replied.

"We have to think of how we can tell them how things ended up this way. They deserve to know." I told her . She nodded with reply.

And with that we started planning. Hopefully things will be cleared out soon. Loriel and I got out of the room this time to look for the others to tell them the truth.

We walked past the hallway, but then Loriel saw Jimin brushing his teeth absentmindedly, so she spoke in a friendly voice and greeted him, "Hi minnie!"

Jimin's eyes widened and there he was-- fainting; falling on the bathroom floor. Loriel looked at me wide-eyed then she chuckled nervously saying, "What a great way to start this, right?"

*facepalms* Sorry Jiminie~
