"I think the events taking place with you is co-related to the accident" Professor Kang informed the J-duo

Jungkook and Jimin looked at each other before looking back at the professor "what accident? Professor?" The old male sighed and motioned them to follow... They stood in front of the giant TV screen and Professor Kang played the footage... A girl was tied up to the hospital bed... Her body was moving a weird manner... Jimin and Jungkook yelped when she sat straight and started screaming... Her voice was manly and way too deep... "I WON'T LEAVE YOU... I AM BACK... AND THIS IS THE END OF WHAT YOU STARTED...  YOU ARE MINE... ONLY MINE" her screams made J-duo to hold their breaths... It was really scary to watch her... "This girl was in the same jungle in front of your house on 13th October... The same day you met with the accident... You demanded to visit Daegu especially when your husband was willing to take you anywhere in the world…"

"But I demanded it because I was willing to be back here" Jimin said in a voice over a whisper "Tell me honestly did you hear any voice calling you before that accident?" Jimin was going to shake his head but then remembered how that voice was the last thing he heard before that accident... He gulped a generous amount of saliva before slowly nodding "But why? Why he is behind me?" Professor Kang sighed... "That's is what we have to find... And for that... We have to go in that jungle"

Jimin started shivering in fear even he wants to find out about the spirit but at the same time he is scared to death... Jungkook gave him a reassuring squeeze showing he is with his best friend no matter what... Jimin smiles feeling grateful to have a friend like Jungkook "So,When are we going?" Professor Kang hummed "now"...

Amidst the dense, shadowy foliage of the haunted jungle, an eerie silence hung heavy in the humid air... The tall, gnarled trees seemed to whisper to one another in ghostly voices as their ancient branches swayed ominously... A thick mist clung to the ground, obscuring the moss-covered roots that snaked out like skeletal fingers... Jimin and Jungkook are shaking due to immense fear "If Yoon found out about this... He will kill me for taking his baby brother even after knowing the consequences" he whispered…

Jimin squeezed his best friend's hand in reassurance "I am doing this with my own will baby... Don't worry it will be alright... Hopefully" he mumbled the last word under his breath not knowing what they actually signed up for and what will be the outcome of this stunt but regardless of the conscience he is willing to do whatever it takes to know about that spirit and to throw him out of his home

Professor Kang cleared his throat... " Jimin... Go, you have to be the one to find out the truth" Jimin nodded and started walking in the direction of the dimly lighted path... A faint, otherworldly glow emanated from the bioluminescent fungi that clung to the tree trunks, casting an eerie greenish light on the forest floor... Strange, ghostly apparitions flickered in and out of sight, their ethereal forms barely distinguishable from the mist... A sudden rustling in the underbrush sent a shiver down the spine of Jimin, whose heart raced with each echoing footstep.... A distant, mournful howl pierced the stillness, making the guy's blood run cold...

At a fair distance, Jimin stopped and took a deep breath... "WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT? WHY ARE YOU TORTURING ME? WHY" He yelled on top of his lungs... Making his voice echo in the jungle… There was a haunting quiet, every rustle of a leaf underfoot, every snap of a twig, became a nerve-wracking echo. Jimin's heart continued to race but his determination was at its peak "I SAID COME FORWARD AND SHOW ME WHO YOU ARE" He screamed but then suddenly a sound of gunshot pierced the silence, echoing in his ears like a thunderclap

Jimin immediately closed his ears with his palm and clenched his eyes shut as the fear coursed through his veins, bringing an icy shiver slither down her spine. The hairs on his arms stood at attention, and an involuntary, skin-tingling sensation enveloped his entire body

In the blink of an eye, Jimin was once again flying in the air... "JIMIN HYUNG" Jungkook screamed and he was about to run after his best friend but Professor Kang held his hand... "No, this is the fight between Jimin and that spirit" Jungkook never felt this helpless in his life "If something happened to Jimin hyung I won't be able to forgive myself" he mumbled to himself while praying for his best friend's wellbeing "Trust me... Nothing will happen to Jimin... If that spirit wanted to kill him... He would have done that long ago" Professor Kang concluded making Jungkook sigh...

Jimin opened his eyes after laying on the ground for good 10 mins... He groaned when the sharp pain hit his body like truck... But his eyes grew wide when he saw...
