Starting Anew [junew] [bxb]

Part Six

"Guys, check this out," Haknyeon said excitedly, pointing to a trapdoor in the floor. "I bet there's something interesting down there."

Kevin immediately agreed, but Chanhee and Changmin exchanged nervous glances.

"I don't know, guys. This place gives me the creeps," Chanhee said, his voice shaking slightly.

"Oh, come on, New. Don't be a chicken," Kevin teased.

Despite his apprehension, Chanhee reluctantly followed the others down the trapdoor. As they descended the rickety ladder, the air grew colder and their flashlights flickered.

Suddenly, they heard a bloodcurdling scream that echoed throughout the house. They scrambled to climb back up the ladder, but it was too late. The trapdoor slammed shut, trapping them in the dark basement.

Panic set in as they tried to open the trapdoor, but it wouldn't budge. They were trapped.

As they huddled together in fear,  Changmin let out supersonic screams while haknyeon and kevin were petrified at the unexpected happening.

"I told you this was a bad idea, but you all didn't listen to me!! Now look what happened, oh my god. oh my god." chanhee started hyperventilating, urging haknyeon to run to his side and embracing him, whispering words of comfort as his cries subsided into occasional hiccups.

"well how was i supposed to know something would really happen?!?" kevin said frantically.

" i thought the speculation about this shithole being haunted was all fake news."

"i'll get us out of here, just give me a minute to think", he added as he paced around the creaking floorboard in the basement room which was apparently used for storage.
