     "𝔻o you have the flashlight?" jungkook asked, taehyung nodding while showing him his phone. "good."

"aren't ghosts supposed to have like, night vision or something?" the silver haired boy mumbled, placing his hand on the door handle nervously.

"i don't know, but i'm not willing to find out." he shook his head, taking a deep breath. "okay, when i count to three, you open the door. ready?" he said, taehyung hesitantly nodding with his lips sealed. "okay. one... two... two and a half... two and a quarter-"

"three." taehyung interrupted, opening the door and turning on his phone's flashlight. both boys walked slowly inside, being welcomed by wooden stairs that creaked creepily with every step taehyung took. the older gulped, holding his phone a little bit too tightly. "why is it so dark?"

"maybe because the lights are off." jungkook whispered, taehyung stopping his steps to look at him with squinted eyes. "oh, it was a rhetorical question. my bad."

they continued going down the stairs, looking around them nervously. when they reached the last step, they heard the door being harshly closed behind them, jungkook letting out pretty loud scream that scared taehyung even more than the damn door.

"the door closed! i think we should go back, this was a terrible idea." jungkook panicked, turning around to get the hell away from there, but taehyung's voice interrupted him.

"you made me come down here with you, now you're going to find out what the fuck is in here with me." he said, his voice stern and a frown decorating his face. jungkook sighed and turned around once again, nodding like a scolded puppy and following after taehyung. "now, where is the light switch?"

he was was walking around looking everywhere for some sort of lighting, until his flashlight suddenly turned off. jungkook yelped and tried holding taehyung, but it ended up with the older shivering and jungkook almost falling straight to the creaking floor.

just when taehyung was about to start freaking out too, his head was tickled with a string. "okay, whoever is out there, come and fight us! don't throw stuff at me, you pussy-"

"i think that's the light switch, tae." jungkook interrupted the one-sided fight, taehyung mumbling an oh and pulling the string, the room being illuminated instantly. the light was vague and had an orange color, which wasn't the best, but it was a hundred times better than being in the dark.

now being able to look around properly, they found a lot of boxes covered in dust, an old rocking chair that stood completely still and random books thrown around the room. spider webs and dust were all around the walls, but overall, no signs of ghosts. only jungkook, if he could even be considered a ghost.

taehyung walked up to one of the boxes, shaking off the dust and sneezing in the process.

"bless you."

"thank you." the silver haired boy chuckled, opening the box to see the inside. he found another dusty book, a broken picture of a woman and a necklace. "check this out, kook."

the boy left the dusty romance book he found aside when taehyung called out for him, floating to where he was crouching and looking at the inside with parted lips. "do you think this is the owner of the house?" he asked, picking up the picture. it was a blonde woman, dressed in nice clothes and smiling widely, her red lipstick making her smile look even brighter. it was an old picture, which barely had color and looked like it was cut with scissors. she had an arm hugging her shoulders, which meant she was with someone else.

"maybe." he shrugged, picking up the necklace. he cleaned the dust with his thumb, revealing a red ruby shaped like a heart. "this is beautiful, would it be wrong if i keep it?"

"i wouldn't pick up anything from this cursed place if i was you." he shook his head, leaving the picture on the box and picking up the book. it was dark green colored, the title being simple and clear; "witches." jungkook mumbled after revealing the title with his thumb. it didn't have an author's name or anything like that, just that word displayed on a gold color.

"i don't really give a fuck, honestly. it was down here, so nobody cares about it. i'll give it a good use." he said, stretching his hand with the necklace for jungkook to take. "can you put it on, please?"

jungkook shrugged, leaving the book he was holding on the box and grabbing the necklace, waiting for taehyung to turn around. once he did, he got closer to the silver haired boy and carefully placed the necklace on the boy's neck. once he did, the older turned around once again and smiled at him, a cute boxy smile that made jungkook melt on the spot.

"thank you. now, what's that book you picked up about?" he asked, crouching once again in front of the box, jungkook clearing his throat and doing as the silver haired boy did.

"well, it says witches. so i guess it talks about... witches." he said, picking up the book and showing the cover to taehyung. "i'll read it soon."

"alright. should we take the box upstairs? maybe it can be helpful." he said, jungkook nodding and picking up the box himself. "should we look around a little more-"

taehyung's words were interrupted by a creak sound, both boys looking directly at the source of it; the rocking chair moving slowly. that was their cue to leave, both running up the stairs like they were being chased, taehyung opening the door with shaky hands, jungkook passing right through him because of the rush, making him shiver while closing the door behind his steps.

taehyung was catching his breath, placing his hands on his knees while jungkook placed the box on the glass table in the living room. once the older calmed down his breathing, he looked up at jungkook, who was looking at him with a small worried frown.

"... so, should we go back tomorrow?"

"sure!"

the necklace:

also, i'm not sure if i made it clear, but jungkook can touch and interact with objects, not humans.
