"Jungkook, please hurry." Eileen watched over him, not wanting him to get hurt by what was lurking out there.
"This is the last key." He blew out some air, briefly closing his eyes. The key finally twisted, and he pushed the door open as silently as he could. A camera flashed one last time before he pulled Eileen in and quietly shut the door.
She held onto his hand as they walked in the dark, trying to figure out where their basement door was. They didn't want to wake Jin up and risk being kicked out of this house for breaking his rules.
"I think I found the door." Eileen whispered, squeezing Jungkook's hand.
"Open it." He whispered back, encouraging her.
She slowly twisted the knob, pulling the door open. She tried to feel the first step with her foot, but it was all the same level of surface.
"You want me to go first?" Jungkook asked.
"That's not our room." She panicked, stepping back.
Jungkook and Eileen's eyes darted to the right as they heard foot steps coming downstairs. They couldn't be down here, because then Jin would be angry and disappointed in them. She quickly pulled Jungkook into the room they previously thought was theirs.
"Shh." He put his finger to his lips.
They crouched onto the floor in the pitch black room, and listened to the sound of footsteps. The front door opened and they soon saw headlights through the window. The car slowly backed out of the driveway and Jungkook and Eileen sighed of relief.
"Find the lights." He said, while skimming his hand against the walls.
"Oo, I found it." Eileen quickly flipped the switch on. The light was too bright, since they were used to seeing in the dark for so long.
Jungkook rubbed his eyes, and blinked a few times to adjust to his new surroundings.
"Eileen." Jungkook called out. "Open your eyes."
She squinted her eyes until they were fully opened. Her mouth was left parted as she stared at the photos hung on the black walls.
