A Beautiful Nightmare

PART 2

Y/n's pov

Suddenly i felt someones hand on my shoulder. It took all the courage in me to turn around and face whoever was there behind me.

The sight i saw drained away all the blood from my face. There, in a classic black tuxedo suite, was a handsome young man. For a moment i was enchanted by his ethereal face and well-built body.

'Y/n....' He called me, almost like a whisper. It took a few seconds for me to register the situation and realise who the man was. He was the same man from the portrait i saw. I didn't know what to do. Tears started to blur my vision as i began to scream.....

Tae's pov (a few minutes back)

I chuckled at how Jimin called me Romeo.

Well, i liked her. Maybe more than as a friend...

I started developing feelings for her right from high school. Her wavy brown hair which reached her hips, her jet black eyes where a whole galaxy was displayed, her cute gummy smile....everything made her perfect in my eyes.

But i was so scared to confess my feelings to her. What if she doesn't feels the same way? What if she just saw me as her best friend? Or perhaps like a brother?...

'Hey Tae,' I was brought back to reality by Jimin's excited voice.

'Look. From here we get a magnificent view of the down floor and the chandelier. Let's take a few pictures'

'Ok, but make it quick. We have a lot to explore', i said to which Jimin nodded.

'You boys coming or what?' I heard
Y/n shout.

'Just a second. Taking a few shots of the place', Jimin shouted back. Hanging out with these two is my favourite thing, even if it was in a spooky old manor. Actually i started loosing interest in the place.

Its been almost an hour since we stepped in the manor and there hasn't been even teensy little unnatural thing we caught, even with all those equipments we had.

Maybe all those rumours about the place being haunted was just to keep people, or perhaps burglars away from the property and from these expensive furniture.

'Chim,I think this is just an ordinary mansion', i said.

'Hmm.... Maybe the ghost is shy to interact with strangers!, Jimin started laughing at his own lame joke.

The moment was cut short by a girl's scream which i immediately recognised.

'Y/n!', i shouted and ran upstairs, Jimin just behind me.

I reached upstairs and looked around in panick. Jimin came rushing to my side, panting.

'Where is she?', he asked me. I grabbed the flashlight from his hands and looked around in hope to find her.

There, i saw her. She was on her knees, cupping her face, in front of a door.

'Y/n!', i ran to her and kneeled down beside her. Her breathing was uneven and she was sweating a lot. I pulled her close to me inorder to calm her down.

'Y/n', i called her softly.

'Y/n'....

Y/n's pov

'Y/n..', i heard Tae's voice as i slowly opened my eyes. I was sitting on my knees in front of the room- the same room which i opened and was inside a few second ago.

I was really confused and scared of what was happening. My eyes were brimmed with tears and i was sobbing.

'Bu- but i was in- in the room and-', i wasn't able to complete my sentence in between my sobs. Tae pulled me into his embrace.

'Shh...its ok. We're here now. Everything's all right'.
I leaned on to his warmth. Jimin delicately patted my head.

'Y/n, what happened?', Jimin asked once i was calmed down.

'I really dont understand', i said while Tae helped me to my feet.

'I saw something. I opened this door and inside i saw someone. He was there inside with me. He touched me. He- he talked to me. One second i was inside this room and the next second I'm out here. I really dont-'

'Hey, hey', Tae stopped me midway.I was talking so fast and was literally panting like i had just completed a marathon.

'Calm down y/n. You know it right. This old manor and the dark aura here.... It's creeping you out and giving you hallucinations, nothing you couldn't handle', Tae tried to reassure me.

'But Tae, it felt so real. I could- i could still hear his voice. He was-', i paused.

What if Tae was right? Was it all a bad dream? Things like this is not uncommon in this job.

'Y/n, if you are feeling uncomfortable we could stop this here and get the hell outta here', Jimin said as he handed me a water bottle. I drank the water and took a deep breathe.

'No, I'm fine. We haven't got what we came here for. And there are a lot more area to explore', i said.

'Ok, we'll go around just this floor, well, except for that room. And y/n, stay close to us', Tae said and i nodded.

I took a last glance at the closed doors and walked forward.

We wandered into several rooms but didnt encounter any kind of unnatural events.

It was almost past midnight. I even started convincing my mind that whatever i experienced was just a trick if my mind. Though nothing extraordinary happened during our venture, i couldn't ignore the feeling of someone's eyes following our every step....

'We are entering a small office room',Tae, who took over anchoring, said to the camera.

'There is a heavy wooden table and a chair over there. Behind it is a bookshelf and alongside it is a fireplace which looks like it hasn't been lit for a long time', Tae said and Jimin zoomed the camera to the fireplace.

While they were busy capturing every detail of the study, i went towards the bookshelf and ran my hands on the books. Some of them were torn, indicating how old they were, and there were some books which still had the fresh new smell in them.
I took out a photo album, which i noticed among the books, and went through the photos.

There, i saw the pictures of a happy Jeon family- Mr and Mrs Jeon with their son. It was just like any other family. I saw the little boy grow up into the beautiful young man whom i saw earlier, alongside his loving parents. I could understand how much they loved each other just from these photos. The 3 three were always  together, even in their death....

'Who could have harmed such a beautiful family?!', i asked myself.

'There is nothing so interesting here. We better get going now', Tae said.

I nodded and was about to head to them when i noticed something on a table near the fireplace. I looked back at the boys, who were busy looking at the videos they shot, and decided to take a look at it.

I realised it was a book, to be more precise, a diary. I took it in my hands and was about to open it when we heard a loud crashing noise from downstairs......

Heyy. I changed the title so that it matches to the content. This will hopefully be the last chapter completely taking place inside the manor. Sorry for any grammar mistakes. Hope you all liked this part (it really didn't come out as good as the first part:( )
