Felix lost a bet

*****

"I don't want to go in there," whines Felix as he holds on to his eldest hyung's arm at 2.30 a.m. "Felix, you lost the bet, so get your butt in there now," says Jisung, trying to get Felix away from Chan. But Felix clings even tighter to Chan, who just watches the unrelated twins with amusement. "Felix, don't be a whiner and just go in there," says Changbin, who is a little irritated because he left his jacket at home and is now standing outside in the early fall wind in just a shirt. "I don't want to! No! No! No!" Felix screams into Chan's arm. Chan grimaces a little as Felix digs his nails into his arm like fishing hooks. "Hyung, you just have to go into the house, take a photo of one of the rooms and then you can run out again like a scaredy-cat," says Jeongin amusedly and has to stifle his laughter.

But Felix doesn't want to go in there. The bet wasn't even his idea. So why should he suffer now just because he was the first to lose at
'Never have I ever'.
"Felix, we all agreed, so go in there now. It'll only take ten minutes at most," says Minho, releasing Felix's hand from Chan's arm, who pulls him away as soon as Felix is finally free of him. Felix looks at his hyung with a betrayed look. "You too?" asks Felix in a small voice and if Minho is honest, it breaks his heart a little. Minho has always been a little softer on Felix. The others claim it's because Minho has a crush on the younger boy, but Minho denies it every time.
"Lixie, we're here all the time. If anything happens, you can just shout and we'll get in there right away," Minho promises the boy, taking Felix's face in his hands. "Whipped," Seungmin whispers to Jeongin and the two of them immediately start giggling.

"Alright then... But you promise to stay here," Felix pleads. Knowing his friends, especially Jisung, who loves to prann Felix. If it was just Seungmin, Jisung and Changbin, they would wait until Felix disappears into the house and then run away. Sometimes Felix really wonders how he can still consider Jisung as his best friend.
"Of course," Minho promises and Chan also looks at him with loving eyes. Felix would believe anything from Minho and Chan. Minho is possibly his favorite person and Chan is like his real brother.
"Well then...", says Felix and makes his way to the house on shaky legs.

The house looks totally run-down and burnt down. But there is an old legend about the house. About twenty years ago, a teenager lived here with his parents and younger sister. It all happened one spring morning when suddenly you could hear screams coming from the house. The kitchen caught fire and the parents were trapped in the kitchen. The teenager was able to rescue his sister from the house, but the fire department took too long, so the boy ran back in. He searched for a way to the kitchen. The screams were getting louder and more painful. Outside was a hysterical daughter screaming for her brother and parents and inside was a desperate boy searching for his parents. Unfortunately, by the time the fire department arrived, it was already too late. The firefighters were only able to rescue three bodies from the house. No one has lived in the house since. The daughter still lives in the town, but at the other end. She still owns the house, but nobody wants it and she can no longer look at it. But it is said that you can hear a piano playing from the house every night at 3 o'clock sharp. Legend has it that the teenager still haunts the house and is up to mischief with the only remaining object, the piano.

As Felix stands right in front of the front door, he looks one last time at his friends, who are still standing in front of the garden gate, eagerly watching Felix. While Seungmin and Jisung shoo him inside, Minho just looks at him lovingly and nods encouragingly. Felix takes one last breath before lifting his hand and placing it on the doorknob, but before his hand even touches the door, the door slowly opens. Felix immediately feels a cold shiver run down his spine and normally any normal person would run back and lock themselves in their room, but Felix doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of Jisung and the others. They already see him as the baby of the group, even though Jeongin and Seungmin are younger than him.
