SEVENTEEN IMAGINES

Jeonghan

Way back on November 1, 2009, It was nine in the evening and I'm already on my way back home. The road I was taking was pitch black and quiet. The typical road that no cars usually passing by.

I'm taking a shortcut since the official road are really traffic and will took you thirty minutes to pass through.

In that night, I was silently listening to music when suddenly, a random lady appeared on the side of the road. She was waving her hands and looks like taking my attention and asking for a ride.

I slow down my car until I reached her location. She was with her luggage, a cherry stewed luggage and she's wearing a simple outfit.

I opened my car door and saw her smiled at me. "Why are you in this road miss? Want some help?" I asked.

"Yes! Actually, my car ran out of gas and my phone battery got drained. I'll just gonna get them back by tomorrow." The lady said as she placed back her lost hair in front of her to the back of her ear.

"You can get in, I'll drive you home." I offered her. "Thanks! O, can you help me put this luggage in your car's compartment?" She asked.

"Yes, sure!" I got out of the car and helped her to placed her heavy luggage inside of my car's compartment.

As we were finished, the lady hopped inside of the back seat as I hopped in the driver's seat.

I started the engine before driving away. "What's your name miss?" I started.

"Y/n." She said. I glanced at her from the rearview mirror and saw her smiling sweetly.

"Looks like you just come home from a trip?" She giggled and nodded her head.

She was a type of a girl with a cute and soft laugh. And a girl that you're not going to feel uncomfortable with her presence.

I continued to chit-chats with her until I touched a sensitive topic about her family.

"All I want to see is my dad and not my mother. All she cares about are money." She replied with a sad tone. I tried to think of a next topic to get away with the uncomfortable silence.

"O, I didn't got to ask you where I will take you.." I lets out a awkward laugh.

"Yeah, right! Just drop me off on [your house address]" I nodded my head before typing it on my phone as it shows the direction I'm supposed to follow.

"O! Have you heard about the ghost sighting in this road? They say that it was really legit and they saw it with their own eyes." I got her attention before she laughs and shake her head.

"Really? I didn't know about that. But I think, that's not legit. Maybe they're just saying that to scare people so they can't drive in this road." Y/n response before I chuckled and nodded my head.

"I guess so,"

"But have you heard about the game entitled: the wall knock ghost?" She suddenly asked, out of the blue.

"The wall knock ghost? What is that game all about?" I asked her.

"It's a game where you summon ghost ang ask some random stuffs and you will have your honest answers." Oh, I see. We continued to chit-chats until we exited the road and we're now on the highway.

She continues to tell the details about the game as I listened to her carefully.

"I tried playing it once with my friend, Herein and it actually worked!" She said, cheerfully.

"How you play it?" I asked. She looks at me in the mirror. "O, it was actually simple. In some kind of room, you go around knocking on the wall until, you've made a complete circle of the room. As you go around knocking on the wall, you'll find a place in the wall that's empty and that goes THUD when you hit it."

"That's where a trapped spirit are. If you stand in front of that spot with your friend and ask a question as you hold a pencil up to the wall and drop it... The pencil will fall and face either it's you or your friend. For example, if you ask something like 'O, spirit within the wall, who among the two of us will have a good results of grades?' And it will point to whoever will have the good results of grades." She explained. I nodded my head and stopped my car when the lights turned red.

"So, who pointed the pencil?"

"It was actually my friend, Herein." She laughed before leaning back again the seat.

"At first it was really fun but as time goes by, the both of us are slowly getting curious about life and death so we started asking about who will die first from the two of us." Her voice changed as she said those. I immediately glanced her at my rearview mirror and saw her looking out from the window.

"O, wow. The two of you are getting into the game and taking it seriously." I replied and looked back into the road.

"For more detailed answers, you write down some answers to questions you want to ask on. A piece of paper and leave it on the floor. And I wrote down that time was, disease, accident, natural death and murder." Her voice become more serious as she tell the story.

"I asked, 'How will I die?' and dropped the pencil.."

"What the pencil pointed?"

"It said, murder."

O, it gives me chills.

"O, I hope that won't come true though. You're still young to die just like that." I said before I realized that I'm almost at her house. I stopped the car and parked it near her house and call out for her.

But when I looked behind the seat, she was nowhere to be found. Huh?

"Miss?" I went out of the car and walked from the back of my car to look for her luggage. As when I opened it, I saw her luggage was still there. I took it out and placed it on the floor.

I decided to open it since I felt something strange from the bag and my instinct told me so, as when I opened it, I'm shocked from what I discovered inside.

It was the lady named Y/n. Someone chap her body and fit them inside.

After that, I immediately called a police as they immediately arrived and asked me about what happened. I explained them what happened and they review the cctv footage where they found me, alone in that dim road, placing the luggage in my compartment.

What scared me the most is when they review the recorded conversation of me inside of the car while talking alone, all myself. Her voice aren't recorded.

After that, they found out that a man stopped by on that road and throws that luggage where I found it and placed it inside of my compartment.

As the police informed the mother of the lady, just when I found out that she had been missing for three weeks as the mother said.

That night didn't last long as I immediately went back home after the police asked about my statement.

One month has passed and Y/n's mother visited me with a cookies as a thank you gift for finding her daughter.

And while eating, I remembered the game what Y/n told me while we were talking inside of my car. The wall knock game.

I tried to play the game and after knocking inside of my room, I reached the spot where the ghost are.

I wrote down the yes or no on the paper and placed it down before the wall. I raised up my pencil and and asked, "Is that man on the cctv footage is the one who murdered Y/n?" And let the pen go as it rolls down towards the Yes and rolled again towards... The cookies?

From the Webtoon scary story entitled Knock Knock by Horang. I'm actually inspired from that story and decided to write my own that are inspired from that story. I'm giving a proper credits from all the resemblance of that comic here on my works. Please do inform me if I should delete this part if this is really unnecessary for the all of you.
