Closet Monster

Chapter 21

Unit 308.

A tiny apartment on the third floor of the Angma Care Facility. The door was beaten down, the inside was worse. Everything was covered in a thick blanket of dust. Under the dust bare minimum furniture and some trinkets provided evidence that some people used to live there, in what condition that was a question that could be asked.

Lily still hadn't let go of Jungkook's hand. She was holding onto the arm as if it was the only support she had in this world that was stopping her from breaking down right then and there. Jungkook didn't mind it one bit.

Lily finally broke the silence in a barely audible voice,"This is where I lived, Jungkook."

Jungkook nodded.

Jungkook let out a bitter chuckle,"Three people lived here, aren't you amused by the littlest amount of things to get by?"

Really, there was barely anything. In the living room there was a chair, a small table and a dresser. From what he can tell inside the bedroom there was a comforter, a dresser and a very tiny closet. Nothing much else.

"Anyway, come here,"Lily pulled him into the bedroom and to the closet searching for something. Jungkook took the time to look around the bedroom carefully. At the top of the dresser he saw something interesting. He saw a few vinyl records and a vinyl player. The only thing worth mentioning in this house,"Oh?"

At the sound of his voice Lily turned her head towards what he was looking at and slowly replied clenching his curiosity,"Those are my mother's. She loved classical music. She had potential to be one."

"Oh..so that's why you love classical music so much!"

"I..guess?"Lily flatly replies and went back to digging whatever she was trying to find in the dusty closet,"Found it!"

Jungkook looked curiously as she got an old photo album looking thing out. Then she looked at him,"We don't have much more to do here. Let's see this on the roof. Or do you want to stay here more?"

"Nah, I'm fine,"Jungkook replied as he felt like the curiosity he had for where Lily lived was fulfilled. The living conditions were bad but still at least now he knows.

"Good? Let's go,"Lily said,"I feel like I'm gonna suffocate if we stay here for one more second."

Jungkook felt insanely bad when he heard that. So he quickly followed Lily out. But she made one more stop at the dresser in the living room and got something out from there. Lily did that so quickly Jungkook failed to notice what it was. But he didn't ask questions and followed her to the roof.

While going to the roof Jungkook spotted a very interesting looking room on the second floor. On a quick glimpse he could see prison bar looking this being there instead of a door. He frowned when he saw that. What kind of room was that?

Jungkook also felt nice when they got on the roof. Even though it was dirty, it felt like a breath of fresh air. Something about this building just feels so suffocating, so hellish, so dark. He also unknowingly felt like he was dying in there. Lily had made Jungkook out the bags on the ground and sat on the thick railing of the roof with Jungkook. She set up the light beside her on the railing. Then she dusted off the photo album and took a deep breath,"Let's open this, shall we?"
