"𝕀 found this shovel, is it useful?" jimin asked, showing the others the rusty shovel he found at the basement."i think that's too heavy, look for something lighter." namjoon said, walking to the kitchen to pick up a small knife. "preferably something you can fit in your pockets."
taehyung walked to the kitchen too and grabbed a porcelain plate, breaking it and picking up two big sharp parts. "here, take this."
"thank you." jimin smiled, carefully placing the newly made weapon in his pocket. it was tight enough to stay in place, but not too tight to hurt himself.
"i found scissors!" hoseok said, picking up the red item he found at one of the boxes.
they were currently in taehyung's house, searching for sharp items to take with them. they woke up early in the morning, too eager to waste any more time.
"i found two box cutters." jungkook cheered, handing one to seokjin and placing his own on his pocket once he showed it to his friends.
yoongi came out of the kitchen with namjoon, both holding small knives and placing them on their pockets. "well, our weapons are ready." yoongi hummed, hoseok and jungkook clapping in excitement.
"well, let's see. we already told jungkook's parents that we're going to cast a spell and gave them our parents' phone numbers just in case, so they'll know if something happen to us. we have our weapons, so now... it's time to prepare ourselves." namjoon numbered, looking at the six of them with questioning eyes. "are we really ready to do this, guys?"
"i'm more than ready." jungkook nodded, placing his hand in the middle of them.
one by one, they placed their hands on top of each other, seokjin being the last one. when they bumped their fists in the air, the older of the room shouted mystery gang rules!
"well, let's get this bread." namjoon said, picking up the red book and taking a deep breath. he searched for the page in the middle and, after taking one last look at the other six boys who looked back at him with determined eyes, he started reading the spell out loud. "ut nos ad locum pythonissam latebras nullusque locus inventus est scriptor. patitur salvus redeuntem cum, opus nostrum consummare*."
a couple of seconds went by of pure silence, just the seven boys looking at each other expectantly. suddenly, a bright blue light came from the floor, surrounding them until they had to close their eyes tightly because of the brightness. after a couple of eternal seconds, it all went silent once again, the light disappearing and allowing them to open their eyes.
they were now in a place that looked like a huge ballroom, with the same vintage vibe as taehyung's house. not a single sound could be heard, just their breathings and fast heartbeats because of the sudden change.
they took some seconds to calm down their breathing, hoseok holding his boyfriends' arms tightly while gulping.
"we're here." namjoon whispered, afraid to make any noise. he wanted to be as discreet as possible.
"where's here?" taehyung whispered back, looking around the place with curious eyes. the floor was made with dark wood and the walls were red, chandeliers hanging from the roof elegantly. it had enough space for hundreds of people to dance together.
"i don't know, but we better start looking for that witch." seokjin whispered this time, holding his boyfriend's hand and walking slowly, being followed by the other six boys.
they were walking cautiously to the door that waited for them, until people appearing around them with ball clothes made them stop abruptly. men and women were walking towards each other, a soft ball music starting to play in the background.
"what-" jungkook's words were cut off when a woman grabbed his hand, his clothes instantly changing into a black formal suit. the woman dragged him to the crowd, the other six boys now panicking when they couldn't see him anymore.
"great, we're just five minutes in here and we already lost jungkook." seokjin groaned, looking around the room desperately. "jungkook, where the hell are you?!"
"do you want to dance with us?" a woman asked, pointing at other five ladies who looked at them with a small smile. their skins were as white as snow, their ball dresses decorating their bodies beautifully.
they looked down when they felt something funny around their own bodies, just to notice that they were changed into suits too. "i guess we actually have to do this." namjoon whispered, smiling then at the woman who asked. "it would be our pleasure."
the boys awkwardly approached the women and started dancing in sync with the music, constantly looking around for any signs of jungkook. they kept switching dance partners every now and then, until taehyung finally spotted jungkook dancing with a woman wearing a big blue dress.
"over there!" taehyung shouted, letting go of the woman's hand and waist to run after jungkook. the other six boys saw them and ran there too, the youngest sighing in relief when he saw his friends.
"how dare you make such a mess in our precious ball?" one lady shouted angrily, everyone stopping what they were doing to look at them. "you must pay for interrupting our eternal dance, you filthy humans."
everyone's happy and beautiful faces deformed completely, their eyes and mouth turning black and a frown making its way to everyone's eyebrows. the boys gulped, namjoon shouting run!
and that's what they did, all of them running for their lives to the wooden door, dodging angry ghosts and screaming at the top of their lungs. they escaped successfully, closing the door behind their steps when the seven of them were out.
heavy breathing and fast heartbeats was all that could be heard once again, the boys catching their breaths desperately.
"fuck, that was intense." yoongi cursed, holding his chest with his head thrown back and his eyes closed.
the seven boys were able to pass the first obstacle.
