Guri's Old Mansion ✅

2.

As Midori stepped inside Hoshi's House, she was greeted by the playful remark of Mingyu, who never missed an opportunity to tease her good-naturedly.

Mingyu: "Aish, here comes our Queen Midori. Why do you always forget?"

Midori chuckled at Mingyu's familiar banter, a sign that she was truly among friends who knew her well. Making her way over to her friends, she quickly slipped off her shoes and joined the group, her apologetic expression revealing her remorse for causing them to wait.

Midori: "I'm so sorry, guys. I completely lost track of time."

Dokyeom, always the peacekeeper of the group, smoothly changed the subject, redirecting the conversation away from Midori's tardiness and towards the original purpose of their gathering.

Dokyeom: "By the way, what's the main topic that you wanted to discuss?"

Minhee, known for her cryptic remarks and intriguing statements, couldn't resist adding an air of mystery to the discussion.

Minhee: "That's the biggest mystery; if you hear it once, you'll agree too."

Sarang, ever the inquisitive one, couldn't help but probe further, curious about the secrets and surprises that seemed to be swirling around their circle of friends.

Sarang: "That means Hoshi already spilled everything to you?"

Minhee nodded with a mischievous sparkle in her eye, a hint of teasing evident in the exchange.

The atmosphere within Hoshi's House was one of familiarity and camaraderie, a place where inside jokes, shared confidences, and lighthearted teasing flowed freely among friends who had formed a tight-knit bond.

Hoshi's announcement hung in the air, drawing the attention of his friends as they leaned in, eager to hear the secret he was about to reveal. The playful banter and light-hearted exchanges of moments before gave way to a sense of anticipation, each friend waiting with bated breath for Hoshi to share his news.

"You all know that you're my besties, that's why I wanted to share something which my parents don't know," Hoshi began, his voice taking on a more serious tone as he glanced around at his friends, his gaze settling on Dokyeom, who had moved closer to listen intently.

"Bro, spill the beans quickly," Dokyeom urged, his curiosity piqued by the mystery that Hoshi was about to uncover. The group fell into a hushed silence, the only sound the soft murmur of Hoshi's voice as he continued.

"You all know about my grandparent's house in Guri. But..." Hoshi paused, the weight of his words hanging in the air, before the sound of the door opening interrupted his revelation.

In walked Hoshi's mother, her arms full of snacks, her expression a mix of exasperation and amusement. She wasted no time in addressing her son and his friends, her words laced with a hint of resignation.

"Did you all hear what this brat has planned? I'm totally tired of arguing with him now. You've all heard about Hoshi's grandparent's house in Guri, where we haven't visited in 20 years. And now he's telling me that he wants to visit there with you guys. I'm not saying anything more to him. I'm out, and you guys deal with him," Hoshi's mother declared, her tone indicating that the decision was now in the hands of his friends.

As his mother left the room, the atmosphere in Hoshi's House shifted once again, the weight of her words mingling with the unspoken questions and emotions that lay between the group of friends. Hoshi stood before them, his gaze flickering from face to face, a mix of uncertainty and excitement dancing in his eyes.

"I know this may seem sudden, but I really want to visit my grandparent's house in Guri. It holds so many memories for me, and I want to share them with all of you," Hoshi explained, the sincerity in his voice breaking through the lingering tension.

His friends exchanged glances, a silent conversation passing between them as they considered Hoshi's request. Mingyu was the first to speak up, his usual grin softened by a note of understanding.

"Hey, if it means that much to you, then we're in. We'll make it happen," Mingyu declared, his words met with nods and murmurs of agreement from the group.

Sarang, always empathetic to the emotions of others, reached out to place a reassuring hand on Hoshi's shoulder.

"We're here for you, Hoshi. We'll support you in this journey, whatever it may bring," she offered, her kindness a balm to Hoshi's uncertainty.

Hoshi's eyes sparkled with excitement as he revealed his true intentions for wanting to visit his grandparent's house in Guri. The anticipation rose within the group, each friend eager to uncover the mystery that awaited them on this adventure.

"I don't want to go there just for fun, I want us to go for an adventure. There's a big mystery there that I've always heard about, and I want us to investigate," Hoshi explained, his voice filled with determination and curiosity.

However, Dokyeom's disinterest threatened to dampen the group's enthusiasm. "I'm not interested at all," he interjected, his lack of enthusiasm clear in his tone. But under the combined persistence of the group, Dokyeom reluctantly agreed to join them on their journey.

As the group discussed their plans, Sarang's voice cut through the chatter with a note of seriousness. "The reason why we are going there, we can't share it with anyone. It's a secret," she declared, her words adding an air of intrigue to their upcoming adventure.

The group nodded in agreement, understanding the importance of keeping their mission confidential as they prepared to embark on the journey to Hoshi's grandparent's house in Guri. Each friend carried a sense of excitement and trepidation as they contemplated the mysteries that awaited them, their bond of friendship growing stronger in the face of the unknown.

With a shared purpose and a determination to uncover the secrets hidden within the walls of the old house, the group set off on their adventure, ready to face whatever challenges and revelations lay ahead.
