Night 12 - 18:26

As the day had progressed Jisung looked up from his phone and realised that it was already getting dark outside.

He had stayed in his living room for half of the day and just switched from watching TV to scrolling on his phone the entire time he was there. Occasionally he actually even grabbed a book from the shelves, but nothing could really destract him properly.

Either he was feeling uneasy the whole time, as for usual, or he was afraid of tonight's decision. At least it was an alternative to the cold loneliness that remained everywhere in the house.

Jisung groaned and let himself slide half way down onto the floor. His upper body was now laying on the floor, while the other half stayed on the couch. 

"I am too young for these kind of decisions", he complained to himself.

After all this thinking, the boy still wasn't sure whether he wanted Lee Know in his life entirely or not. Even though he had already concluded that there were no dangers at all, it still felt like it was a one time decision, that wouldn't be reversed as easily.

The squirrel sighed and turned on his phone that he had kept in his hand while sliding off the couch. There was nothing to lose, just to gain right?

And Jisung really wanted to get rid of these anxieties eating him up. He even wanted to tell himself that he was getting better, but like the universe wanted to tell him something, a whole lot of spiders appeared in his kitchen.

Yes, it was just insects, but as soon as Jisung had to look more than just one of the creepy beings into their tiny eyes, he completely freaked out. Next thing he knew, he was in the corner of his room crying, sobbing for help.

He had never liked insects all that much, but this? It had never happened before. After the incident he avoided the kitchen the whole day, even if he was very hungry by now since he had only eaten lunch.

He barely moved anywhere actually, every step he took sounded to him like echoes, reminding him how alone he was. Jisung had decided to call his parents as well, but the conversation didn't make it a lot better.

After he had ended the call, he felt worse, as it felt much more quieter all of a sudden. It just highlighted the emptiness of the house.

Jisung dreaded the next day, knowing it was just another day of doing nothing except for fearig for his life. Also he would have to go to the kitchen at some point, he couldn't go a whole day without eating, even though his anxiety was basically screaming at him to rather starve than face those monsters again.

Although, he had food in the basement as well, that option was even worse, since he had a feeling that something was lurking down there, ready to eat him up.

It wasn't just the spiders, but something didn't seem right about the basement. He had never liked to go down there either, but this was just different. 

Jisung even wanted to go outside, because even being near to the basement made him feel very uneasy, but then he already saw himself getting lost in a crowd of strangers. It was really not a great lifestyle.

He looked onto his the screen of his phone and opened the messenger he used to communicate with his friends. Jisung decided that he would talk to his friends about the matter, though without actually telling them what was going on of course.

He went into the group chat and thought about how he was going to phrase this problem, while not telling them that he was talking about letting a being into his life he had known for nearly two weeks.

Jisung had the feeling that he had to let his friends at least have a glimpse of what was going on, before coming to a final decision of something that seemed so hard for him to make up his mind about.
