➰The missing piece➰

"Jimin? Jimin! Are you okay?"

The male shot his eyes wide open and breathed heavily. He looks around the room to see his friends circling him filled with worried faces. Soon later, he started to break into tears and sobs leaving his mouth.

"H-hyung... S-she's coming for us! Please believe me! She's coming!"

"Shh, we know, we understand." Yoongi shushed the younger and rubbed his back gently, trying to calm him down. It really pains him to see the other crying like that. Usually the boy would be so happy and whenever you're sad or not in the mood, he would always try to cheer you up. But in this case, he's breaking down.

"Y-you do?"

"Yeah Jimin, we're sorry it took us so long to realize it." Namjoon lowered his head in shame, the other also felt guilty for their mistake. And because of that Jimin got into trouble.

"Thank you for believing in me," A smile crept on his lips that lightened up everybody's faces. Even though it was hard for him the past few days, learning that his friends believe and care for him just makes him feel happy.

"What happened to you?" Taehyung hugged his best friend tightly, making the other feel secured in the embrace.

"I keep on seeing her... in my dreams, in my head, across the room, I don't know anymore. But it gets even worse during the night," Jimin brought his knees up to his chest and hugged them. "My blanket being pulled off of me, her cold hands touching my skin, and she keeps on whispering things I don't understand!"

"Jimin, do you know what exactly does she want from you?"

"My soul."

➰➰➰

The sun has risen and Seokjin finished preparing for their breakfast. They were being haunted but they should at least eat something right? They were now all gathered at the dining room, eating freshly cooked pancakes.

"I'm sorry hyung but I still don't get what you said earlier? She wants your soul? I'm so confused." Jungkook asked, his big doe eyes widening.

The blonde sighed and explained once again, "Janice doesn't just haunt people and kills them, she collects their souls and traps them in a miserable place and tormenting them."

"Where exactly is this miserable place? Not that I would wanna know about but if ever I die and get my soul kidnapped by a girl demon, I wanna be mentally prepared." Hoseok said in a half-joking manner that made everyone chuckle a bit.

"It's very dark and scary. It was somewhat of a dungeon? But at the same time... not?" Jimin tilted his head, trying to remember what he saw. "It was more of a room— a kid's room. A nursery. Drawings on the wall, dolls, crayons, it was very disturbing."

"Wait– if you got trapped in there for a few days... how did you get back?" Jungkook gasped loudly. "How do we know you're the real Jimin?!"

The others turned their heads to Jimin as if waiting for an explanation. They were all thinking the same thing, 'If this isn't Jimin... Then where is he?' They were all freaking out internally that they even stopped breathing because of the tension.

"Guys, it's really me, Park Jimin! Your friend since middle school!" Jimin pointed at himself, rolling his eyes in disbelief that his friends don't trust him enough.

"H-how do we know for sure? Tell me something that only the real Jimin would know." Yoongi muttered voice filled with fright yet stern.

"Hyung, you bought a Kumamon onesie that one night you forced me to wear it and hugged me all nigh—"

"—Okay stop! This is Jimin for sure." Yoongi covered Jimin's mouth quickly and awkwardly laughed after. He glared at Jimin and whispered, "I thought we agreed to never bring this up?"

"Sorry, but you were twisting my arm." Jimin giggled as soon as his hyung's hand were away from his mouth.

"Let's say this is the real Jimin, then tell us how you got out." Taehyung lifted his eye brow, shoving a forkful of pancake in his mouth.

"I don't know either... I remember crying in the corner of the room when I saw a light coming out of the door. I went to it and I was already on the living room with you guys."

"Okay, but we can't let this go further. We have to stop this somehow, it's either we die doing or die trying. With me?" Namjoon reached out for his hand with a small smirk on his lips. The other nodded and also brought their hands on the center. "Yeah!"

"First of all, DON'T leave all alone. Bring someone with you or two, it's better safe than sorry. Also, when you see something interesting or someone calling out to you, DON'T GO! It's one of the stupidest things they do in horror movies." Namjoon instructed and his friends agreed with no doubt. "Which is why we're gonna shower in pairs."

"What?!"

"I'm down for it."

"Are you kidding?"

Namjoon had a hard time keeping his blank face from his friends' reactions. "I mean, what other choice do we have? You'll risk your life showering alone when you can die without the rest of us knowing?"

"W-well if you put it like that..." Jimin looked down with a faint blush on his cheeks.

"Not just showering, if you wanna piss or poop, bring someone with you. If you wanna brush your teeth, bring someone with you."

"Are you out of your genius mind?!" Jin shouted loudly. "I ain't showering with anybody!"

"I didn't say anything about showering together! You bring someone to look out for you while you shower is what I meant! You take turns in the fucking shower!" Namjoon shook his head in disbelief. "Let's be real for a sec, being alone is risky so let's not be stupid like in movies okay? Most horrific things happen in the bathroom– in horror movies."

"I agree! And now I'm gonna have a shower— with Jimin. No one's objecting okay bye!" Yoongi spoke in a speed of light that almost all of them didn't catch what he said. Realization only hit them when they saw him grabbing Jimin's arm and pulling him to their room. "Hey!"

"Hey, you said in pairs but there's seven of us. Wait— who do I shower with?!" Hoseok's voice echoed to the kitchen.

"Just accompany the maknaes, they'll need an elder one for that." Jin hid a smile, collecting all of their dirty dishes before washing them. The two only pouted and crossed their arms in sync.

Meanwhile, Jimin was frowning on their way upstairs as he let the older drag him. Yoongi grabbed all of their things and headed inside the bathroom. "Okay, you shower first. I'll be just right here."

"Don't peek okay?!"

"Jiminie, there's literally a shower curtain covering you." The older chuckled and leaned his back on the door.

"Still!" Jimin smiles slightly and neatly placed his dirty clothes aside. He opened the shower and sighed in relief. "I haven't ate and showered for days. I feel so great after all that."

"You know Jimin, the next time you feel troubled, tell me and I'll believe you no matter what. I'll come running to save you. Even if I'm scared to death." Jimin's lips formed into a large grin when he said that. Then he remembered what his friends told him when he was possessed by Janice, he choked Yoongi almost to death, and he hates himself for being too weak. So weak that he almost killed the person he loves the most.

"Hyung... I'm sorry for what happened today, you know when I almost killed you. It wasn't me but I still feel bad. I'm sorry that I can't save you nor our friends because I'm weak, I can barely save myself."

"Don't worry about it so much." Yoongi chuckled lightly. "I'll always be right here to save you from now on Jimin, I promise."
