Dive Into You

Chapter 4: ...Under A Blood Moon

Tae-il holds his hands out before him. "Wait! Before we start I just need to get this out...Seo-ho-ssi, Donghyuckie is MINE!" He throws his arms around Haechan's neck and hugs him tightly.

"I'm not..." Seo-ho begins. "Oh, whatever..."

Seung-kwan's fingers are trailing gently along Jae-min's chin. "Me neither...I like this one..."

Jae-min cranes his head back as far as he can. "Help. me. please."

Everyone chuckles.

"Anyway," Kyung-hwa says, "I got a good spooky story for y'all. Grip your chairs or sit back - or roll your eyes if you're Haechan or Ryu-jin - and listen to this. It was the night of a full moon like this. I was driving home from the grocery store--"

"Boring!" Haechan says, fake yawning and leaning back in his chair.

A marshmallow flies through the air and nails him in the head, causing him to snap his head to the side. Shin-won holds a bag full of ammo.

"You deserved that," Kyung-hwa says. "Let me continue and get into it before you 'boring' me."

Haechan folds his arms.

Tae-il loops his arms around Haechan's neck. "It's okay, Donghyuckie."

"So anyway, driving home from the store and Ii was stopped at a stoplight. The green lights flashes on for the turn lane across from me. I see a car begin to make a turn, when all of the sudden a figure in white walks out of nowhere before it!" Kyung-hwa jumps to her side at Tae-il.

Tae-il's arms squeeze Haechan's neck and his face buries itself into his shoulder. "NO! Too scary!"

Haechan winces in pain. "Taeilie, it's okay."

Kyung-hwa giggles. "And you're really close to thirty-years-old, the oldest of your group?"

Tae-il sticks his tongue out like a child. "I don't like scary things, stories, people..."

"I don't think I can beat that tale," Shin-won says.

"I can!" Seo-ho boasts, jumping up to his feet. "I'm going to throw my all into this too! I promise this one will give you chills for a lifetime!"

Haechan rolls his eyes again.

"Let's hear it," Ravn remarks. "Donghyuck, uh, Haechan-sunbaenim, trust me, Seo-ho's stories are generally pretty spooky."

Tae-il whimpers and nuzzles against Haechan's shoulder.

Shin-won and Kyung-hwa give their attention to Seo-ho.

Seung-kwan's finger loops into one of Jae-min's hair strands as Jae-min still tries his best to get away from the power vocalist of Seventeen.

Jeong-yeon and Ryu-jin are sharing a loving look with one another, while Hak-nyeon and Dami continue to destroy a massive bag of marshmallows between themselves. Jin-ho is staring blankly at the bright flames.

Seo-ho clears his throat and begins: "I was working in the studio late into the evening once. I was alone. I'd finished singing out my heart to our song, 'A Song Written Easily.' I was taking a sip and I heard clapping."

"Like applause?" Ravn questions.

"Yeah. But, looking through the glass at the studio, there's no one there. Dead, empty air."

"So...uh...where was the clapping from?" Seung-kwan asks with a gulp, finally turning from being rejected by Jae-min.

Seo-ho smirks. "That's the thing, I don't know...it's a mystery."

"I know what you're talking about. I heard it too once!" Ravn says with a knowing nod.

"We all call it the ToMoon Phantom or Ghost ToMoon," Seo-ho says.

"Okay, no trips to RBW anytime soon, Donghyuckie!" Tae-il whines.

Haechan pats him. "Alright, let's give the stories a little bit of a break. I know two power vocalists who are shivering right now."

Seung-kwan shoots him a glare. "Shut it, Lee Haechan-ah!"

"No, one more!" Jeong-yeon suddenly shouts out. "I have one that you all will like -- well, actually it's not really a ghost story. It's more of a roleplay. I think that's right." She glances at Ryu-jin, who is rather stunned by her sudden outburst.

"Let's hear it," Haechan says, leaning back with Tae-il still latched onto him. "It better be spooky."

Ryu-jin grins. "Oh, it is. It involves all of us, in fact."
