hxl lures y/n into the underworld?!?! (serious)

it was just after halloween. the cold, autumn breeze skimmed against their skins, the sun setting with a spooky orange color. it was the vibe, the perfect mood as the group of friends were driving to a supposedly 'haunted' house. it was han, driving the car, with qi by the passengers seat. rui behind qi at the right side, vie in the middle, and sai behind the driver's seat. the perfect five-seater car for their friend group.

not a while later, they arrived at their destination. han parked the car in front of the house. they got off one by one, and the bickering already started. "RUI YOU LOSER!" vie shouts. it was going to be a chaotic night. han shushed the two before they walked towards the gate. the two took a few seconds to lower their voices, and by their glares, they were still fighting with each other in their heads.

sai rolled her eyes, following qi and han's footsteps instead. the boys pushed the gate, and they were finally inside the property. the front lawn's grass were well-maintained, so they didn't really see how it could be haunted. even the house looks new, but maybe it was just some stunt. they stayed quiet, han and qi by the lead, sai right behind them and the other two at the very back.

hesitantly, han opened the front door. the tiny sound the knob made freaked them out. the sky was turning darker, and it everything just looked even scarier than before.

from the outside, the house didn't look that big. it looked like a two-storey house, but there could definitely be something more.

they kept their silence. the living room, stairs, and kitchen greeting them. right after rui enters, the door slams shut, qi letting out a shriek. "gosh, i don't like it here." he says with a hand on his chest, shocked from the sudden sound. "should we split up?" sai asks. they simultaneously mutter a 'no', while rui says 'yes'. he shows off a sheepish smile, and they walk towards the living room. it was just a small receiving area, a small coffee table, a tv stand with dust on it, and a couch that looks fairly unused. "these look like they're in all good condition," sai says, sitting on the couch. there were a few pillows on it, and a... somewhat suspicious frog plushie. "look! there's a frog plushie on here," she continues, looking around. vie sits beside her, observing the place as well.

"what should we name him?" sai asks. "that thing looks like it's staring right into my soul and i don't like it." qi replies. "mario" rui says. "well, mario it is!" sai agrees, han looking at her. "that smile is so eerie," vie says. sai holds it up and lightly squeezes the green plush, showing her friends that it isn't harmful. "sai, i don't think you should play with that," han worries. "don't worry about a thing. it's all good, see?" she shows it again. "well if you say so." han shrugs.

rui and qi walks towards the kitchen, it was dirty, but not messy. the surfaces looked like mud were on it, some metals rusting. rui opens the fridge, coughing when he does. "oof, that stinks! what the heck," he barely says. "ew, what is that!?" qi says as he takes a peek at the refrigerator. a plastic bag, rotting fruits, and stuff they can't recognize anymore. only the two got a whiff of the foul stench, yet the others also had a disgusted face despite not being near.

"it's quickly turning dark, someone check the lights if they work," han orders. the air felt colder. rui sprints toward the door, pressing a firm finger onto the light switch right beside it. a very, very faint light emits from the light bulb in the living room. "okay, how about the others?" sai asks. rui clicks on the others repeatedly, no response from any other lightbulbs around the house. "none." he shortly says. "ah we're doomed." vie fake cries. qi nervously laughs. he gets scared easily, and now that the lights barely work, he wants to run outside right away. "nope! good thing i brought flashlights." han smiles, fishing two out of his half-moon shaped bag. the friends cheered, relieved.

rui tries to open the door, fumbling with the knob. "oh shoot, we're locked out." his eyes widen. "pfft, nice try." vie rolls her eyes, not trusting his words. "no, i'm serious, see?" he twists the knob over and over, trying to prove his point. "oh gosh, this is even scarier." qi whines. all of them would admit the same, but they have to put their tough face on.
