9: After midnight •°. *࿐

TW: The first scenes have a lot of graphic content, murder, blood, and stabbing are mentioned

Your hands made their way to your face, desperately covering your mouth from preventing screams to fall out. You were in that dark alley, the one just beside Itaewon bar. Too many memories flooded your mind, and not good ones of course.

Your body was shaking, you could hear screams just behind your back. You could swear those screams were loud enough to be heard from the next block ahead. It sent shivers down your spine, you didn't want to look behind.

However, something made you do it. You wished you didn't. You saw the back of the masked person, continuously pounding a knife into someone's chest. The guy screamed for a considerable amount of time before it died down. You were paralyzed in fear, you couldn't move. 

Your mind was blurry as you saw the knife dripping with blood, the red liquid just splashing everywhere. You could barely see the guy's face, not that you wanted to see it anyway. Suddenly, your body jolted up when the masked person turned on their heels to face you, with the bloody knife gripped tightly on their hand.

You gulped, squinting your eyes shut as the person launched towards you.

You jumped out, your heart racing and tears falling down your cheeks. You were in bed, it was just a nightmare. You let out a shaky breath as you hugged the stuffy beside you. It all felt so real. You were distracted by the buzz that your phone let out.

###: Roses are red

Violets are blue

You told someone

So now we are onto you

Me: Stfu that's a bad poem

I didn't tell anyone wdym

###: Don't even try to deny it, we know you did

Me: Bitch when?

You grunted, annoyed, as you turned off your phone to the other side of the bed. You were not in the mood to argue with anyone, let alone these dangerous people. Your head hurt after everything, you hadn't been sleeping well these past days and the recurrent nightmares weren't helping.

It was barely dawn yet, so it was very dark outside. You were shifting under the covers of the bed, not being able to sleep again. The scenes of the murder you had witnessed in your dreams were very much graphic, and you couldn't get his screams out of your head. It was just too accurate for your liking, it felt like you were in a dark gore movie.

You let out a shaky breath, trying your emotions not to get the best of you. You sighed as you sat back up, getting out of the bed to grab something to help you sleep. You lazily walked down to the kitchen and poured yourself a glass of warm milk.

You sat on the kitchen counter, drinking the milk slowly while you checked your phone to see if there was anything new. There wasn't really anything interesting on the news, just the usual disappearances but no news as to if they had found anyone.

You were about to put your phone down when you received a text notification from the unknown number yet again. You hadn't opened the chat yet, but it caught your attention when the unread chat said "📸 photo". You furrowed your brows in confusion as you gulped.

What could it be? You were scared, knowing as to what extent these people could go. What if it was a picture of someone murdered? You didn't want to look at it but another part of you said it may be a clue. You fidgeted with your shirt nervously as you opened the unread message.
