CORRUPT [Interactive Horror AU]

System Starting...

://Standard trust is 5

Jimin tied his shoelaces, the bow forming a perfect number eight across the top of his foot. He was planning to head to the store for groceries. Shrugging his jacket upon his shoulders, digging in his pockets for his keys. 

"Where are you going?" Hoseok, his roommate, asked as he popped his head into the room.

"For food. I'd prefer if we had something in the fridge besides leftover pizza bagels." Jimin laughed as his eyes turned into little crescents. 

Hoseok nodded. "I'll come with." 

"Oh! I should see if Q̵̘̜̦̺̗̩͕͎͈̈͒͌̋͠ẍ̸͉͍̣̲̬̭͝b̵̛̳̥͚̰̽̅̎̚e̴͇̹͉͚̮̋̽̅͝v̸̖͕̂̿̋̇r̸̡̨̧̹̘̬̯͈̆̅̾ķ̸͖̬̍͛̂͐̋̓͐͠d̸̼͊̈́́̆́͝ can meet us there." Jimin suggested as he pulled out his phone. Hoseok gave Jimin a strange look, although the younger missed it entirely. "Now where are my keys?" He asked looking at the hook they almost always hung from.

"Let's just take my car." Hoseok offered.

The pair left their apartment and made their way through the complex to where the car was parked. Jimin yelped as he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head, turning and spotting a rock still spinning on the asphalt. Moving his gaze upward he caught sight of their neighbor, leaning over his balcony. 

Jimin glared at him and the other male glared back. 

"Oh hey, Yoongi!" Hoseok waved with a bright smile.

Yoongi waved back but didn't say anything. Their neighbor never said much. Jimin struggled to understand why the older male had an issue with him. He watched Yoongi's silhouette disappear back into the safety of his apartment. 

Deciding to not let their grouchy neighbor ruin his day Jimin hopped into the passenger seat of Hoseok's car. The radio automatically coming on and tuning into the last station it was kept on, 112. 

"Do you know what our neighbor's problem is?" Jimin huffed. 

"He doesn't have a problem Jimin, he's just a little shy." Hoseok defended.

Jimin narrowed his eyes. "He's more than shy. There is just something... sketchy... about him." He accused, noticing the radio station wasn't on 112 anymore. Hoseok must have changed it. 

"Maybe he's just sad because his roommate moved out." 

"That was like a year and a half ago!" Jimin crossed his arms. "It's just a roommate. Maybe he chased the roommate away." 

Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows. "Seokjin moved away because he got a job offer, and it was eight months ago." He corrected.

"I don't know... Something sketchy is happening in that apartment. I just know it." Jimin sighed. "Q̵̘̜̦̺̗̩͕͎͈̈͒͌̋͠ẍ̸͉͍̣̲̬̭͝b̵̛̳̥͚̰̽̅̎̚e̴͇̹͉͚̮̋̽̅͝v̸̖͕̂̿̋̇r̸̡̨̧̹̘̬̯͈̆̅̾ķ̸͖̬̍͛̂͐̋̓͐͠d̸̼͊̈́́̆́͝ hasn't messaged me back yet... That's weird..." 

Hoseok gave Jimin another funny look.

Before Jimin had time to question it, his attention was caught elsewhere. "HOSEOK WATCH OUT!"

The car sputtered and swerved as Hoseok panicked. "What was that for?"

"You didn't see it?" 

"See what Jimin?"

Jimin narrowed his eyes again, Hoseok has to be messing with him. Right? Never the less they pulled into the grocery store. When he stepped out of the car Jimin picked up a nickel that was on the ground. "Oh look! Five cents!" 

Jimin spotted a familiar face looking at the eight-dollar postcards. "Hey, Jungkook!" 

"Hey," The younger replied flatly.
