"Spooky vibe y'all. This place gives me spooks."
"Be nice." Leira said lowly.
"Have you researched about this community?" Doyoung asked as he looked around. They were going into a rural village and the people in there all looked at them with looks that none of them could comprehend.
Hwiyoung nodded as he pulled Leira's hand.
"We did but nothing came up. We just know that we have to ask the headman of the village's permission to go through the jungle. Lei, slow down."
"The faster we go there, the faster we get the hell out of here." Chae hissed.
"I already called him for an appointment yesterday. This is the house." Leira said as they stood in front of a big wooden house.
"Hello? Mr Itom?" She called out.
But nobody responded to her and Chae is getting more anxious every second they stood there. Doyoung took her hand, calming her down while analyzing the place.
"Maybe he's not home." Hwiyoung said looking at the closed doors and windows. Leira sighed.
"I guess so."
They started walking back to where they came from until a voice shook them.
"Ada apa kamu di sini?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Jesus Christ." Chae held her heart.
"Are you Mr Itom?" Hwiyoung asked him politely in english but the guy seems to not like it.
"You are not welcome here. I'm not selling my property." He said seriously with a menacing glare.
Doyoung hides Chae behind him when he saw she was scared.
"We don't want to buy your property. We just-"
"No."
"Um, Mr Itom? We spoke yesterday on the phone. My name is Leira, this is Hwiyoung, Doyoung and Chae, we are the one that wanted to-"
"Ohhhh the archeology students? Right right. Come on in, let me tell you a bit of this village history before you go in exploring." Mr Itom broke into a smile. He had changed his intimidating tone to a very friendly one.
"I'm sorry I was like that just now, people come here with bad purposes." He apologized as they got into the house. He gestured for them to take a seat while his wife make some tea.
"Not at all. I'm sorry for making you worry." Leira said, sitting down on the floor around the table along with her friends.
"If you don't mind me asking, why do you mean by bad purpose?" Hwiyoung asked as he got his attention.
Mr Itom frowned a bit.
"This is a sacred land, child. Those who know this place is either wanted to make use of it or like you, just wanted to know the beauty of it."
They all nodded in agreement.
"Before we start on the tale telling, do any of you want to try reading palms? You perhaps?" Mr Itom looked at Leira in the eyes.
