It started as a normal day in the dorms. 

Jimin was reading on the living room couch.

Taehyung was playing Overwatch with Jungkook in their shared room.

Hoseok was sitting on the living room carpet on his phone.

Yoongi was napping on the love seat.

Jin was sitting at the dining room table eating his spicy beef flavored ramen.

Namjoon was sitting next to Jin at the table, writing things down in his notebook.

Nothing out of the ordinary. Everything was fine. The sounds of the distant city, Yoongi's soft breathing, Jimin flipping his pages, Hoseok typing away at his phone, Jin's chopsticks hitting the bottom of his bowl, Namjoon's pencil against the paper, the shooting and running sound affects coming from Jungkook's and Taehyung's game console, it wasn't new. None of it was. 

It's just amazing, isn't it?

How one mistake could change the entire world, the whole human existence in that case.

If you could go back in time, would you have stopped that man from going down into the abandoned mine? Would you have stopped him from bothering what was meant to be kept a secret? What was in there held a huge secret, a man-eating one. It ripped off the flesh and bones, digging their 2 ft long claws into the bodies of their victims to quench their thirst for human blood. They ate the guts and insides of the bodies, dead or not, to thrive on their endless hunger for meat.

Wendigo.

I'm sure if any of us went back in time, we would've stopped him. We would've taken him back to his home safely. We all would've been happy, going about our days like nothing happened. Children would've gone back to their school routine, adults would've gone to work to get their pay, and the elders would've kept on nagging about "Back in my day..."

See? That's what I call...

The Butterfly Affect

~~

"Haha, loser! I just knew Shanghai Dragons was going to win!"

"Hey, shut it! I thought Seoul Dynasty had a chance, they won 2 times last time!"

"You only like them cause they're the only Korean team..."

"No, that's stupid."

"You want a stupid stamp with that "L" on your forehead, Taehyung?"

"I swear to god if you don't shut the fuck up I'll stick Yoongi's foot up your ass till it comes out the other end, you mother-"

"Hey! Watch the language in there, both of you!" Namjoon yelled to the maknaes in the other room without looking up from his book. He had just thought of something brilliant and he needed to write it down. He didn't get a vocal reply, but laughter and giggling echoing from the room. They can never, ever, stay mad at each other for long. Jin finished his ramen, setting his chopsticks down next to each other on the table. He stretched his arms and stood up, reaching down to fix his black sleeveless shirt. 

He took his bowl into the kitchen, rinsing and cleaning the dishes he used. He looked over and saw the rest of the dishes piling up in the sink. He sighed before reaching over and grabbing more dish soap. He washed his dishes, might as well wash all of them. 

As Jin began to wash the dishes, there was a sudden knock on the door. Well, it was more of a "Thump." Hoseok and Jimin stopped what they were doing and both looked up. The console in the maknae's room went silent, meaning that they were at attention as well. Yoongi had opened one eye and lifted his head, slightly bothered. They all met confused glances. It was their day off after all. If it was their manager, why were they here?

Had something urgent come up suddenly?

Jin grabbed a nearby towel to dry his hands. He nodded at Namjoon, giving him a silent signal to go ahead and open the door. Namjoon stood up with a bit of hesitation and walked silently towards the door. He put his hand on the door knob, ready to twist the knob and fully open the door. He had just opened it an inch when...

A 2 ft long claw squeezed it's way through the crack of the door, almost cutting Namjoon's hand in half. Instead, it grazed his palm and broke the skin. Instinctively, he slammed his shoulder with all his might onto the door, the creature behind the door screamed out in pain. The claw was tugged back, allowing Namjoon to slam the door. 

There was continuous loud thumping against the door. The creature was trying to break it's way in again. Namjoon pressed his back against the door and planted his feet into the floor. Jimin and Hoseok were frozen in fear, staring at the scene in complete fear. Jungkook and Taehyung hurried to their feet, rushing out their bedroom and were then confronted with the scene in front of them.

"What the actual hell is going on!" Yoongi shouted trying to sound confident or brave, but there was no hiding the fear in his voice. "Does it look like any of us have a damn clue? Help me block the door!" Namjoon shouted back. Yoongi shot up from his place on the couch and threw himself at the nearby bookshelf Namjoon keeps his figurines and books. 

He pressed his shoulder against the shelf, pushing as hard as his small figure could handle. Just at the bookshelf reached Namjoon's position, he grabbed the corner and pulled with his might. The creature behind the door was tearing at the wooden door. The ear-splitting cracking noise was heard as it drove its nails into the wood. Namjoon and Yoongi worked together to shove the bookshelf in place, but it wouldn't hold for long.

They needed to get out of there.
