Run.

That's the only instinct Jin had.

Just run. Don't look back, and go as fast as you can. 

He wasn't sure whether his mind was running faster than his legs at this moment, everything seemed as if it were a figment of his imagination, his reality unhinging. "No, no, no. Just stop. Please stop" he thought to himself, feet hitting the damp earth beneath him. "Make it stop. Those were not my friends back there, they couldn't have been. I feel like I'm going insane in this forsaken forest. I should have never come. Please let me wake up from this dream, please."

Jin stopped dead in his tracks on the hollow dirt of the trail. He had no clue how deep he was in the forest, not even a clue how far he ran, let alone how far he left his friends behind.

He closed his eyes shut tightly, gripping his chocolate brown locks, hoping to be in bed in their hotel. Hoping that none of this was real and it was all just a nightmare. But that wasn't the case. He could feel the ground beneath him and hear the ruffles of the trees above as he was left alone with the soft flow of the wind. Chaos shifted throughout his mind, as he wondered what could be the cause of this. "I must be going insane. Why is this happening to me."

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" He screamed aloud talking to himself, hitting the sides of his head with his eyes still shut, tears running down his face.

"Oh Jinnie. Jinnie, Jinnie, Jinnie. What a cute one you are. But not for long," a dark demonic voice said from the shadows.

Jin shot his head up quickly checking out his surroundings, shining his light to the left of him, nothing there. 

"You're going to die in here you know." 

He slowly turned to the right of him with his flashlight in hand, seeing a dark figure behind a tree walk out in front of him ever so slowly. 

"What the fuck?!" Jin said. He was so shocked by what came into the  light. He had no words for what stood in front of him. He covered his mouth, taking in the horrific sight. There in front of him stood Namjoon, his best friend, covered in blood, the red liquid dripping from his throat, down his shirt, onto the ground. This was not Namjoon he thought. Jin soon met his eyes seeing nothing but pitch black. His heart began beating so fast that he could barely stand still.

"Do you see what you caused Jin? This is all your fault." Namjoon said.

"No, you're wrong!!" yelled Jin. "No, no! This can't be real! You are not real! M-my friend isn't dead.. He's not. I know it, I-I just saw him.." Jins vision became hazy as tears kept welling up in his eyes, but he wiped them away quickly.

"Jinnie, how could you have done this to me? I thought I was your best friend? You caused this. Just do yourself a favor and end it, you can be with me. I forgive you." Namjoon smirked.

"NO!! JUST STOP IT! You aren't real you bastard! You are just a figment of my imagination!" Jin yelled. He closed his eyes once again. "When I open my eyes you will be gone." As the time goes by, he just stands there in the darkness afraid to open his eyes. He is so afraid he will see what he just saw seconds ago. 

As he slowly looked again to see if he was there, he gained a huge sense of relief to see that he was gone.

"Thank god." He whispered. "FUCK NO THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AGAIN!!"

He turned to leave to go find his friends but saw something out of the corner his eye. It was him. Namjoon. Swinging from a tree right in front of him.

"Boo." It was the demonic voice again.

He screamed turning around to see Namjoon again behind him, neck crooked staring at him with those black emotionless eyes.

Jin was at it again. He just ran. He ran into the forest to the left of him trying to get far, far away. He started feeling like everything was in slow motion. Although he ran fast, he felt as if time was shifting. He turned around feeling as though something was following him. He ran away from the hell that unfolded in front of him. All of a sudden he felt the ground go from beneath him, falling hard as he tripped. His head hit tree troots as he went down.

"Shit" Jin said as he started seeing black. He could feel himself drifting in and out of consciousness.

The real question he had to ask himself..

"Is this what hell's like?"

Soon its nothing, and all he sees is black as he passes out on the hard ground.
