Hana's P.O.V.

"min, minnie, look at me," i say holding my best friend by her shoulder as we all sat down on the floor. minsook lets out deep and stuttered breaths, there are tears running down her cheeks and she won't stop shaking violently — her hand is tightly squeezing yoongi's.

my words got ignored as minsook continue to have an attack, she has been like this ever since the lights went out and whenever either me or yoongi volunteered to get her a pill, she would get worse and won't let either one of us leave.

"minsook, hey — you're okay we got you," yoongi utters cautiously, though i can sense that he's starting to get a lot worried, my best friend could only nod and let out some incoherent words, words that seem to sound like yeah and okay. taking my eyes off of minsook, i then look around with the help of the light that comes from our opened windows, though the sun is slowly setting and is hiding behind the greyish cumulus clouds, it's enough for me to see every corner of the room.

my head then snap back to the two when i hear yoongi speak, "stay here with hana, alright? i'm just going to check the switches," he says, giving the latter a comforting squeeze on the shoulder.

"n-no, wait! don't go anywhere, yoongi!" minsook cries, too quick to grab the hem of yoongi's shirt as he finally stands up, "i'm not going anywhere, and you're okay, hana will be here with you," the latter replies, offering my best friend a smile.

biting her lip, minsook hesitantly lets go before burying her face onto my neck, arms wrapping tightly around my torso. looking up to yoongi, i give him a knowing look before mouthing a little be careful, he only give me a firm nod before walking away and turning into a corner where the light switches are located, disappearing from my sight.

i then put my hand on minsook's head, giving her pats now and then in hopes that she'll finally calm down while i let my eyes roam around as i gulp the lump in my throat, it took me so much effort to control my breaths, couldn't afford panicking when minsook is already having an attack, but i quickly went back to my senses when i feel something cold briefly brush against my neck once again.

it is so sudden that i almost missed it. my hold on minsook tighten as tears starts to blur my vision as i heard the soft roar of thunder, and in the corner of my eye, i see how the grey clouds turn a lot darker, the light becoming dimmer — for some reason, i feel like the change of weather is mocking our situation.

turning to look over my shoulder, i can see my faint shadow and minsook's, casted by the dimming light from the outside, however that's not what make my blood run cold.

there's a third shadow, standing upside down from the ceiling that looks like its looking down at minsook and i.

don't look up, don't look up, don't look up, i chanted in my head like a mantra, just keeping my eyes on the shadow before i hear minsook let out a whimper, as if she feels that presence too. the shadow seems to got closer to our own shadows now, almost parallel to us, however it doesn't even take a single step, it just... glided.

then, i heard a drip adjacent to where minsook and i are seated — i dare not to look or even suspect what it is because i already know the answer as soon as the strong metallic smell reached my nose.

holding minsook against me, i crawled backwards as the shadow keeps coming forward, its hand slowly starts to reach out, but before it could even done something, the lights suddenly went on making the shadows disappear — a faint sound of a scream fades away along with it.

the tears that have been blurring my sight finally falls from my eyes as i let the breath i don't know i have had been holding before turning my head and finally seeing yoongi, relief flooding over me.

"it's gone now, we're okay," he utters before kneeling down and caresses minsook's hair and offering me a small smile.

i look around, checking if it really is gone now and when i finally can't feel that unsettling presence anymore, i directly looked at yoongi's eye, are we really?

biting his lip, he offered me a sigh before looking back at me as if saying i don't know.
