"Jungkook!" Eileen yelled out, trying to navigate him in the dark.
Everyone else was acting completely normal, hiding like the man told them to. Eileen walked past bodies, accidentally bumping into some.
"I'm so sorry." I covered my mouth as I strongly hit another body.
"Eileen? Is it really you?"
"T-Taehyung..?"

Jungkook was pulled by a group of other people, also playing hide and seek. Somehow, the whole town was pitch black. Only a couple placed lights were on.
"What the hell is going on?" He tried to ask the group of people with him.
"You didn't hear the guy? It's hide and seek." A girl whispered.
"Why is everyone taking it so seriously?" He asked while crouching behind a bush.
"Every year, the one person who gets caught, is never seen again." One of the guys answered.
"Why the hell are you saying it like it's okay?" Jungkook couldn't believe what he was hearing.
"I'm sure nothing actually happens to the person." The girl laughed with her friends. Jungkook didn't know what to think. Was this just a normal game or was it as dangerous as it seemed.
"Listen, I can't just sit here and hide. I have to find my friend." Jungkook got up from the ground and brushed the dirt off his knees.
"You're gonna get caught out there dude."
"Don't worry about me. I can take care of myself." He muttered as he walked away from the group.
"Protect yourself." The girl yelled out. Jungkook saluted her and went on his way.
She's probably mortified, Jungkook thought to himself as he kicked a rock. He was good at games like this, but it was Eileen he was worried about.
"Eileen." He whispered every once in a while, hoping she'd hear him.
"Who's there?" Jungkook heard a familiar voice ask.
"Jungkook. Who am I speaking to?" Jungkook awkwardly question the bush.
"Y--Yoongi."
"Oh, have you seen Eileen anywhere?"
"I saw her standing next to you before the town lights went off."
"Did you see her after that?" Jungkook nervously ran his fingers through his hair.
"N-no, but I think I know who did."
Jungkook ran behind Yoongi as he lead him to where he though she would be. Jungkook suddenly stopped when Yoongi did,
"I saw her talking to him last." Yoongi pointed at the dark figure.
Jungkook nodded as a thank you, and walked towards the person.
"Hey, have you seen— Jungkook's words faded as he noticed whom he was talking to. It was the guy he punched repeatedly.
"What the hell do you want?" Jimin asked, crossing his arms.
"Listen, I'm not here to fight. I'm here to find my friend, Eileen. We need to get out of here."
"What are you trying to ask? Let me guess, you thought I took her or something." Jimin scoffed, shaking his head.
"No I—
"You need to get over yourself man. If you want her so fucking bad, take her. She didn't like me anyways." Jimin muttered as he walked back to his friend.
Jungkook let out a miserable sigh. Why does everything in this town go wrong and why isn't anyone else noticing? She could be anywhere right now.
There's only one last place to check.
Jungkook stood outside Taehyung's house, watching the flickering light turn off and then on. Since everyone was hiding, no one would see Jungkook break into his house. He knew that man was insane, and that nothing could stop him from hurting people.
He looked over his shoulder to make sure no one would see him, and when he looked back, the door was wide open.
