DOLL [vmin]

13: doll room

Taehyung had disappeared in his atelier again. At this moment Jimin was in his room placing the heart box on the shelf that was on his desk where his mirror was as well. He wanted to have it safe and be able to see it. he remembered taehyung said that as long as it beats he was fine too. So Jimin made a mental note to check it each morning when he wakes up. making sure it was still beating. He was still so confused how it was even possible for a heart to beat outside of the man's body.

"Hmm....i still wanna see that doll" jimin mumbled, he walked away from the box leaving his room to find Sunhee who was somewhere in the building cleaning. He already had an idea where she might be, probably cleaning the doll mess on the ground floor. so he went to look there first. no more looking up from the beautiful decorated hallway of the top rooms. He just walked down the stairs feeling a bit relieved that the dolls were not placed back on their spot yet. it made him able to walk down calmly without having eyes look at him.

and it seems he was right about Sunhee, she was currently putting all the fallen dolls on a cart to place them all back later. She had a broom to collect the shards of broken dolls. He approached the kind lady.

"Excuse me" he said, not too loud to not startle her. but it seems she flinched anyway, not noticing jimin had walked up to her.

"Ah, Jimin, you scared me there," she chuckled. the doll didn't say anything back looking a bit confused why she flinched when he was so careful to not startle her.

"don't be scared..." he then said, he didn't want anyone to be scared of him.

"I'm not scared of you Jimin, don't worry. So what is it? or just coming to see me?" she chuckled.

"I came to ask if you have the key to the doll room"

"the doll room...hmm Yes. i must have it somewhere here" she said letting go of the broom in her hand to reach in her pockets taking out a big bundle of keys that were tied together. she frowned, concentrating to see which key was from the doll room. "hmm i believe it's this one" she took off a golden colored ket with a green gem on the back. "If it doesn't fit you can come ask for another key. i have enough" she smiled, shaking the bundle keys which made a funny crinkling sound.

"thank you" jimin said and walked away to find the room. He had the suspicion it was the locked room on the left of the center, the ballroom was the center so left from there should be the doll room. his heeled boots clacked on the clean almost mirroring floor as he made his way to the locked door. it was still locked, he inserted the key turning it his hoped rising up it would fit. and it did. the doors unlocked and jimin pushed it open. immediately he noticed this room wasn't as clean as the rest, it was more dusty. He saw some blankets that were covering whatever was hiding under it, they were a bit dusty. Sunhee must not be cleaning here often. He closed the door behind him. his eyes looking around, there were long and low tables each stuffed with sitting and standing dolls. some heads hung to the side, their neck cracked others just frozen as how they were placed here. Jimin felt the air was strange here,

He walked through the room looking at the dolls and the other decorations in the room. There were two huge big windows at the end of the room where the sunlight shone inside, also revealing a few cobwebs against the glass in the corners. Ignoring that he looked more in the middle and noticed a very dusty blanket over a rectangular shaped object. He walked towards it and grabbed a hold of the blanket. With a long movement he removed it, waving his hand to not have the dist stick on his black clothes, but it was not to be prevented, he sighed seeing already his pants got dusty. Now he finally looked up, his eyes looking at a doll.

It was a girl, she had two ponytails on her head with cute bangs, a little hat on her head with a flower print. her dress was blue with white, she looked cute. Jimin bed down to look at her face seeing a deep crack under her eye a gap on her cheek where an odd looking red color was. something had dripped there maybe? Jimin hummed and looked at her feet and hands. noticing her shoes had the same red colors on it, but they were originally blue as well. just like her little gloves that were white but had stains.
