BTS - Truth or Dare

XV

After everyone had calmed down they all headed back to the kitchen where Jin and Namjoon made drinks for those who asked, Jungkook was still upstairs with Taehyung so Jimin had gone to get him, Jungkook had returned with Jimin and given Jin his and Taehyung's phone as he had asked, everyone placed their phones in the middle of the counter as instructed

"Alright, now while we talk about this no one should be touching their phones" They all nodded in agreement as Namjoon started

"So, first things first we should get the facts and timeline straight! Jin you received a message first, right?" Jin nodded and continued on where Namjoon left off

"Yeah, I got one first, I didn't pick either option and then Hoseok got a message" He looked to Hoseok who looked a little spooked before settling his expression he sighed and started to speak

"Yeah, I got a message saying Jin had failed and I was to get a punishment" he spoke softly towards the end and Namjoon looked at him asking to continue, he hesitated but continued

"It was then that I apparently had a nightmare but, it wasn't like that for me-" He was cut off by Namjoon

"I think what you had was sleep paralysis" everyone turned and looked at him "Sleep paralysis is the terrifying feeling of being held down after just waking up or going to sleep. You can't move or scream, and sometimes this paralysis is accompanied with the certainty that someone –or something — is in the room, does that sound like what you had?" Hoseok looked down, Namjoon was showing off again, he knew he was trying to make him feel better but it just made him feel stupid, Hoseok softly replied with a yeah as Jimin moved closer to the boy and held his arm looking at him smiling, Hoseok replied the smile, he was grateful to Jimin, he set a reminder to himself to thank him properly later, pushing the conversation forward Jin ask the group who received the next text, they all looked around at each other and Jimin raised a hand

"It must have been me, right? I received one not long after going back to bed after checking on Hoseok" he recalled the events of the morning

"And? what did they say, what did you do?" Namjoon ushered him to move forward

"Well, it said the same thing as Hobi's, the only difference is that I got another message after asking me, well, you know, and that there would be a punishment for Yoongi" Jimin bit his lip and looked down, Jin took over for him

"After that he asked me in the morning if I had received a message too and we compared the messages, I told him to ignore it but obviously we all know how that turned out and here we are right? that basically sums up everything" everyone nodded in agreement, they all sat there in silence before Namjoon spoke up

"So, I think we should just ignore the messages and leave it be, there's no way this can mean anything or even be real" They all slowly nodded and looked around

"It is real......." they heard a soft voice speak from the doorway, they all whipped their heads towards the young boy standing there

Jin and Jungkook rushed over to the boy, Jungkook went to hold Taehyung but was beaten by Jin who had cupped his face and was wiping his tears away

"Tae what's wrong, why are you crying?" he was sobbing softly now Jin wrapped his arms around the shaking boy as he rested his head on his shoulder

"Tae, please tell us what's wrong" Jungkook held his hand and placed another on his shoulder, lifting his head his eyes met with Jungkooks and he nodded, Jin led him over to the counter where he took a seat, he took a deep breath, he hesitated, Jungkook took the seat next to him and placed a hand on his thigh letting him know it was okay
