Chapter Text
Kim Yongseung have absolutely no idea why the heck was he tagged along with his noisy next door neighbour siblings (ie, the friends who lives the closest to him), to go to a rural area, to see a god damn abandoned house.
He stared at the messages sent to the group chat last night, sighing for the millionth time, oblivious to the youngest in the group.
Hyungs!!
Look what I found
Kangmin, 22:49
We are not going back to that disgusting boat ride again
ISTG Kangmin please don’t
Dongheon, 22:50

We’re all free tomorrow
why not take a chance to go somewhere historic
Kangmin, 22:51
It’s a haunted and abandoned house
Hoyoung, 22:52
I know right
there’s nothing more historic than old abandoned houses in the middle of nowhere
Minchan hyung, back me up here
You always say that going to history museums enriches the human mind
Kangmin, 22:53
I’m sure Minchan didn’t mean it like that
Dongheon, 22:54
I wasn’t asking you
Kangmin, 22:55
And Yongseung slept after that, not waiting for his friend group to reach a good conclusion, because Kangmin was right, they were all free, it was a Sunday for god’s sake. Which by the time the sun rises the next day, Yongseung was dragged out of bed by an overenthusiastic Kangmin and out the door within 5 minutes.
Yongseung has yet to be fully awaken by his friend’s forceful entry, and he had heard Dongheon mutter ‘I have work the day after, why not let me rest?’.
But honestly, he was up for all, and I mean, all shenanigans Kangmin has in store because he is a good, responsible older brother who loves Kangmin more than he actually knows, Dongheon doesn’t mind at all.
By the time they arrived at Gyeheon’s house, none of them were surprised that Dongheon is already koala hugging Hoyoung, and none of them were even more surprised that Yeonho crashed at Gyeheon’s place (ok, Kangmin was a little bit surprised but that wasn’t new, the entire world knows that Kangmin has a small crush on Gyeheon, all except Gyeheon himself.), those two were basically friends attached to the hip.
Which brings us to here, Kangmin leading the boys from the bus stop, walking through around 10 minutes of bushes and grass so tall they could loose Kangmin if they weren’t paying much attention. “And we’re here.” Kangmin pointed at the large abandoned brick house with a smile on his face. “The Villa owned by the Seven Sisters” He proudly says and Yongseung ruffled his hair with a smile.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go inside, the flies are killing me.” Minchan leads them into the house, waving his hand in his face when dust greeted him once he opened the door, “Huh, the lights are on… electricity still works in here? I thought it was abandoned.”
Kangmin walks towards the staircase by the end of the corridor, “No?” he replies hesitantly, “This house has been abandoned for decades.”
“Unless there’s someone living here rent free?” Yeonho suggests, “All the stuff here are in good condition too. Kangminnie aren’t you sure that this place is abandoned?”
“Positive!” Hoyoung can hear the youngest shout while he looks at the family photo on the wall in the walkway, ‘They look so young,’ “Why would they abandon such a lovely house like this.”
“I’m thinking of the same thing, I would die to move and live in a place as big as this.” Dongheon sighs as he rests his head on Hoyoung’s shoulder.
The two eldest walked to the kitchen area where they find Kangmin being pushed into the cabinet under the sink, “Good, keep him in there, without him I can actually use hot water to shower.” Dongheon snorts and decided to ignore Gyehyeon’s “How poor are you guys” comment. (It’s a joke, they had a well functioning water boiler, is just that Kangmin takes absolutely forever to come out of the shower, their life wasn’t that sad.)
Then out of the blue, Kangmin shoves Dongheon so hard that he breaks the hold Dongheon he had with Hoyoung, with a cheshire grin he quickly runs away shouting “Tag you’re it!”, and before Dongheon can comprehend on what the actual fuck is going on, the others ran away in different directions, heading to the number of rooms this villa has with laughs.
Only when Hoyoung gives Dongheon a peck on his cheek and a soft “You’re it.” is when Dongheon comes back to his senses, ‘Of course Kangmin would initiate a game like this’ Dongheon pinches his nose bridge and sighs. But being the good sport he is, he quickly put on a smile and shouted “I’m coming for you all, dipshits!” before sprinting in a random direction in hopes to find his friends.
Little do they know, a mysterious figure snapped a photo of the eldest standing in the corridor, as the picture is produced, they huffed, capturing his soul in a photograph.
