THE WHISPER GAME.

HOUSE 013, BLK 3, 10:23 PM
- October 25, 2017

"Let's play some games!" Daniel exclaimed and ran up to his room to get some games to play.

It was 10:23 PM at Daniel's house.

A group of friends decided to have a sleepover at Daniel's house, since it was summer he agreed to it.

"Eh? Board games? Those are pretty lame to be honest, I don't find fun in them," Jinhee stated and crossed her arms.

"Hm? I don't think board games are boring. I think they are mind challenging," Irene said and continued reading her book. Honestly, all of them were pretty much bored to death by now.

"Where is your brother Jinhee? I thought he'd be quick?" Jun muttered and burried his face onto the throw pillows of the couch.

"I thought he was busy with his new work?" Vernon shrugged.

"I still need to do my skin care routine though..." Jinhee mumbled and stared at the ceiling. "Is that a korean thing or something?" Ella raised a brow in confusion while Jinhee just shrugged.

"Which one?" Daniel grinned as he came back with Uno cards, Monopoly, Chess, and more games in his grasp. "Don't you have something more thrilling?" Ella asked and checked out the games Daniel placed on the coffee table. Daniel shakes his head side-to-side in disagreement, "We have video games though."

"Yeah right, Daniel. Where are the thrilling games?" Luciel questioned and scrolled down his phone.

"Why don't we just play hide and seek?" Jun suggested and his friend, Minghao happily obliged. Both friends are chinese, basically they are inseparable.

"Or we could just watch a movie!" Lisa suggests this time. "Or just sleep!" Irene exclaimed and laid on the carpeted floor.

"Yeah, I agree with Irene here to be honest. I'd rather just sleep," Luciel nods and slowly positions himself on the couch.

"Oh look! It's Ten Forty, time to do my skin care routine," Jinhee claps and stands up from the sofa. She walks up the stairs and enters one of the guest rooms she was staying at.

"Jinhee, Would you like to play?"

Jinhee heard a faint whisper but she couldn't recognize who it was from. She cautiously looked around the dark room, struggling to find the light switch.

"Why are you ignoring me? Isn't it kinda lonely? Should we invite your friends?"

Again, a faint deep voice whispered, yet Jinhee chose to ignore it. "Nope, not today," Jinhee mumbled and finally opened the lights. No one was in the room, it was empty yet someone was talking to her.

Jinhee grabbed her small bag from her bag before entering the bathroom. She started her routine-trying to forget the whispering voice she had just heard. As she silently did her routine, she was already getting goosebumps. Jinhee felt uncomfortable as she felt like she was being watched. But the there were no neighbors or any houses near Daniel's house. "It's going to be alright~" Jinhee positively smiled at herself in the mirror.

"Okay! I'm done!" Jinhee said and left the room, lights open.

"So guys, I thought about a super duper fun game," Jinhee told them and took a seat back on the sofa. "What?" Ella looked up from her phone.

"How about play.. the whisper challenge? If the last person doesn't get it right, he or she will be it during hide in seek," Jinhee announced, clasping her hands together.

"Well it's not really thrilling but it might be fun to play," Luciel shrugged and stood up. The other followed and grabbed something to cover their ears with. It was probably a good thing they all brought their earphones and headphones with them.

The one that was going to tell the sentence was Jinhee while the last person to guess it right was Lisa.

"I like to eat tofu," Jinhee began as she tapped Luciel's shoulder.

"What?" Luciel raised a brow in confusion.

"I like to eat tofu!" Jinhee repeated and Luciel nodded before laughing a little. He turned around and patted Daniel on the back. "I like to seek tofu!" Luciel smiled while Daniel looked confused but he still danced through the song that was playing.

"Again." Daniel requested.

"I like to seek tofu!" Luciel said.

Jinhee was watching them, laughing all the way at Luciel's wrong sentence.

"Oh Jinhee, It won't be so fun afterwards."

Jinhee froze at the familiar whispering voice. Who was it really? It started to annoy Jinhee throughout the game.

Daniel chuckled and thought for awhile before turning around and tapping Irene. "I like to eat tofu," Daniel mumbled and Irene furrowed her brows and went closer, "I like to heat tofu!" Daniel repeated and Irene just continued dancing.

The game continued on and Lisa wasn't able to guess it correctly, why? It was because Hailey said, "I hike two heat waffle."

"We'll be hiding now!" Jun chuckled and left with Minghao. "Good luck," Daniel winked at Lisa before running off to somewhere.

"Be careful," Jinhee stated before leaving as well.

Lisa stood there, counting one to forty according to Irene. After forty numbers, Lisa began to look around the huge house. It wasn't just an ordinary dorm, it was a huge house, but wasn't that huge to be called a mansion.

Lisa's first guess was the swimming pool area so she walked out and looked around the pool area. "Where are they?" Lisa frowned as she saw none of her friends at sight.

"The fun begins now."

A faint whisper came out of nowhere, spooking the hell out of everyone. The rest of Lisa's friends who were hiding in different places were shocked; scared to be exact.

Suddenly, a creepy yet small chuckle was heard. It made their game five times more creepy. The dark skies with only the moon providing light didn't help at all.

"All you have to do is survive and make it out complete before 3AM,"

The whisper said.

Jinhee's breathing hitched as she tightly held onto her phone. She gulped as she looks at the time, 11:12, they still have time.

She was hiding at the rooftop, the house had two stories; the very top was the rooftop.

-

"Time is ticking,"

Lisa clenched her fist as she continued looking around the pool area. Suddenly, a noise was heard out of nowhere. A loud shatter noise of glass come from the gardening shed.

Lisa stared at the shed, thinking whether to check it out or not. "It could be one of them."
