**NO ONE POV**

"Dad, is it really that important?" Jungkook asked, looking both sad and cute at the same time.

"Yes, Jungkook, it is. Please try to understand, baby," Mr. Jeon replied, resembling a classic father figure.

"I'm still not happy about it, Dad. Why do we have to move again and again?" Jungkook pressed.

"Because of my work. Now don't disturb me; I have a lot to do," Mr. Jeon said curtly.

"Yeah, you always have work-work, work, and more work. You don't even have time for me, your own son," Jungkook said, his fury evident as he ran toward his room.

"Jungkook! JUNGKOOK! Stop behaving like a baby!" Mr. Jeon shouted.

Jungkook didn't respond.

"Agh, this kid really acts so immature," Mr. Jeon muttered to himself.

After their little argument, Mr. Jeon began packing both his and Jungkook's things and clothes.

**A FEW HOURS LATER**

Dinner was eaten in silence.

"Jungkook, please try to understand, baby. We can't live here anymore. I'm not saying you have to change schools," Mr. Jeon explained.

"Like if I say no, you won't move into your so-called new house," Jungkook retorted, rolling his eyes.

"Jungkook," Mr. Jeon said, casting a slight glare.

"Yeah, yeah, I understand. I'm going to sleep now. Bye," Jungkook replied, still looking angry.

"Bye," Mr. Jeon said as they both retreated to their respective rooms.

**NEXT DAY**

**AT THE NEW HOUSE**

"So, do you like this house, Mr. Jeon?" someone asked.

"Yeah, I like the house. I'll buy it today. Can we move in today?" Mr. Jeon replied.

"Yes, absolutely. Just pay for the house, and it's yours. You can move in today, tomorrow, or even the day after that, or maybe never," the employee said with a chuckle.

"Haha, give me one moment." Mr. Jeon then approached Jungkook. "Jungkook, wait here, okay? I'm going to handle the paperwork with that gentleman. I'll be back in five minutes. Hmm?"

"Yeah, I'll wait, but please be fast," Jungkook replied.

"Don't worry; I'll be back in five minutes," Mr. Jeon assured him before heading off to talk with the employee.

**JUNGKOOK'S POV**

As I waited for my father, I caught a fleeting glimpse of a shadow. When I turned to look at it, it vanished, leaving me feeling scared.

"Dad, where are you? Come fast, please! I'm feeling really uneasy. This house isn't good! I have to find Dad and stop him from buying this haunted place."

"Dad, where are you? I'm coming."

"Hey, ghost, please don't kill me! I haven't even graduated yet."

I was lost among all the rooms in this new house. How would I know which room Dad was in?

I randomly opened one door and found a piano-old, but not ancient, probably around 90 to 100 years old, since this company had closed 80 years ago.

The piano was clean. How is that possible? This whole house is dirty, yet the piano is spotless!

I turned to leave but was startled by a sudden burst of *piano music*.

"Oh my God, no, no, no! I'm not turning around; I'm running!"

"Dashi, run!" I yelled as I sprinted toward the door.

"DAD!" I shouted.

"Jungkook! I told you to wait for me! Now, tell me..." He couldn't finish his sentence because I hugged him tightly, fear overtaking me.

"What happened, baby? Is everything alright?" Dad asked, looking concerned.

"Dad, please don't buy this house," I begged, still clinging to him.

"Why?" he asked with a frown.

"It's just... really weird and kind of scary," I said, taking a step back.

"Then stop watching horror movies! I'm buying this house; that's final." Dad stated firmly, determination evident in his expression.

"But, Dad..." I started, attempting to convince him not to buy this horror house.

"No buts. That's my final decision," he insisted, leaving me frustrated and worried.

I just edited this chapter, and while doing so, I inadvertently cut and pasted the content, which caused the picture (the first one in the chapter) to appear at the beginning. Unfortunately, I can't remove it from that spot. This picture is out of place; it was supposed to be there when Jungkook was running. I hope you can overlook this issue.

Thank you for your understanding! 🙇‍♀️
