"Watch your steps." I warned him and pressed his hand a little stronger as he nearly fell on the floor. "Sorry.", he mumbled.

Hoseok startled at least two times in a minute and I couldn't understand why. I tried, I really did. But I couldn't hear any sounds which were not totally normal in such an old house and I couldn't see anything as well. So for me it wasn't scary or creppy... it was kind of... nice? Yeah. I kinda liked it here. I kinda liked us walking hand in hand along the corridor. The moon shined through the windows, but it's light wasn't bright at all 'cause the clouds keeped shoving in front of it. So I still needed to hold my phone in my hand to make sure we won't step into a hole or something.

"How can you be so calm?", the older mumbled and startled again at I-don't-know-what-it-was-this-time.

"Well here isn't anything you need to be afraid of. It's kind of beautiful in here."

"What?! Are you serious?!"

I sighed, then came to stop. Hoseok did as well, a little confused as I could tell.

"May I show you something? At least I hope this works."

"Depends on..."

"I have to turn the light off."

"No way!"

"Otherwise it won't work. Trust me, you'll like it!"

He didn't answer me to that one, so I softly stroke his hand before I loosened the grip to intertwine our fingers instead. His eyes became big as he looked at me with mixed expressions.

"I promise, if this works, you'll see this whole mission in a completly different light. It will take your fear for a moment." He stared at me a little longer, but then he nodded carefully. I smiled at him and pressed the icon for my flashlight. It became dark immediately.

"Look at the windows." I whispered, not stoping to stroke his hand with my thumb. I didn't even know why I did that, but I could feel him realxing a bit under my touch.

The pale moonlight searched it's way through the window glass, diving the hallway into a beautiful combination between light and shadow. Little dust grains flying through the room, looking like living creatures. It gave me goosebumps at how beautiful something simple like dust can be. I risked a look at Hoseok, who seemed to just stand there with open mouth and widened eyes.

"And? Did I promise too much?"

"You're right. It's beautiful.", he smiled, making me smile too. I just realized that the most beautiful creature in this room isn't the moon or the little flying dust grains - no. It was Hoseok. What's more beautiful then a person who trust you so much in every kind of situation, who you just met, who you just saw for the second time and nevertheless you feel like you've known each other for years?

The same person who just seemed to be scared to death now stood there with sparkling in his eyes watching something you recommended, then looking at you like you were the one who created it.

"It really is beautiful. And much more brighter than I thought. Thank you." His smile was breathtaking and I could feel my heart beating a lot faster against my chest. I had trouble breathing so I just nodded, giving him a smile back.

After another short while we decided to take the picture out of one of those windows, since we already were in an upper floor and walked down the stairs again to see how the others were doing outside.

As soon as we got out the door, Hoseok pulled his hand away from mine. I missed it the second it was gone, but I knew I couldn't do something about it. So I just walked beside him until we reached the others, who already cheered as they noticed us.

I didn't really understood what happened inside of this house, but I knew I would never forget about this moment. For me, everything looked like art.

For me, in that moment, dived into pale moonlight, Hoseok looked like art.
