Jungkook's P.O.V

Weeks have gone by, yet I still hear shuffling in the bushes. Being honest, it's starting to annoy me because all I find is squirrels. I swear I hate squirrels right now.

I was walking to school as usual, when I heard the shuffling again. I rolled my eyes but slowly tiptoed over there.

"Let me guess. Another squirrel." I thought as I used my hands to open the bush.

This time I got a huge surprise.

An even better surprise than a squirrel that's cheeks were filled with nuts.

My eyes met with a person with a bag over their head. I scooted forward and saw that the bag had two holes cut out for the persons eyes.

Before I could even speak, the said person threw a rock towards me and ran away.

I caught the rock in my hand and had my eyes fixed on the person running. I then noticed that this person was running the exact same way as where I came from walking. Me being my curious self, I stood up and ran the same way but different path. I noticed that the mysterious figure, stopped at a small house that looked very old and rusty.

I caught my breath and looked at the mail box that indicated who lived here.

Kim's Residence

I furrowed my eyebrows as I observed the house more closely.

The paint of the house was very old and looked almost black from how old it wasn't repainted for, the wood of the house and roof were in chipped pieces, the mailbox was very rusty yet had no shine to it, and the house was starting to grow moss on ...

The paint of the house was very old and looked almost black from how old it wasn't repainted for, the wood of the house and roof were in chipped pieces, the mailbox was very rusty yet had no shine to it, and the house was starting to grow moss on the front. All in all, the house looked like it could collapse at any minute from how badly the condition of it was and it was a complete mess.

In all honesty, it looked haunted. I then started walking in the direction I came from when I stopped in my tracks, seeing something familiar. Too familiar.

I looked to my left and saw my house.

Saying that I was shocked is very low to say on how I felt at the moment. I was beyond the meaning of 'shocked.' I then looked at the house and confirmed that it was indeed my house.

Shaking off the thought, I had something more important to do, which was sadly going to school. I sighed and walked towards the school.

In the middle of school

I was going to lunch with my friends when I heard whispering. I tiptoed towards the voices and hid behind the wall as I intensively listened to the voices and told myself to stay silent.

"Did you see the creepy looking human-creature near here?"

"Creature? Human? What are they talking about?!" I thought as I kept listening along.

"Yeah I have. It scared me since it had a bag over its head, do you think it's hiding something?"

"Wait..... I too, have seen someone/something with a bag over its head. Could it be the same thing I'm thinking about?" 

"Who knows, but what I do know is that I don't want to ever see it again." "Agreed." With that the two friends left to lunch, not seeing me at all.

I came out of my hiding place and went to the cafeteria to see my friends.

We were all eating peacefully when I decided that I was gonna ask them if they also know about the creature/human in the bag.

"Hey guys.... have any of you seen the human or whatever it is with a bag over its head??"

"Well, I haven't maybe the others have." Namjoon hyung shrugged his shoulders and continued eating.

"I haven't heard of anything like that and now I'm terrified about seeing it." Hobi hyung started trembling and had a hint of fear in his eyes. I rolled my eyes as I already know that he's scared of everything.

"I have, it was recent though. While all of you were here at the table, I was walking around where there's flowers near the cafeteria when I saw a human with a bag over their head. I was sca-" I didn't let Jimin finish his sentence and ran towards the area near the cafeteria, not hearing nor caring about my friends yelling for me.

I ran towards the corridor with flowers and just like Jimin said, the said human was right there picking flowers.

I slowly and quietly walked towards them, and crouched down near them. The mysterious person looked at me and tried to run away again, but I caught their hand and gripped hard so they don't escape.

"Hello, are you a boy or a girl??"

He/she pointed towards a male that was walking to the cafeteria. I then got the message and nodded my head.

What I didn't notice, was that the boy got out of my grip. I looked around and saw the boy running away.

"Hey! Why are you running away?" The said boy turned his head to face me and shook his head as a 'no' I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and kept looking at him as he left. I sighed knowing that he won't come back.

I started heading back to lunch with my head hung low as I scolded myself for not catching up to the boy. Then again, if I did that, I would've scared him and make him feel uncomfortable.

I continued my day in my boring classes with my head resting on my hand, thinking about the mysterious boy who I want to know more of.

I sighed as I looked out the window. Not listening to what my teacher has to say or teach.

"I guess I'll have to search for the boy and make him trust me." I thought as I started thinking of where I could spot the mysterious neighbor boy.
