—UNLOCKING DOORS PART 1/2–

The tall wall that stood in front of him was what Jungkook stared at. A mix of stress, fear, and anxiety swirled in his head.

He wasn't sure what the voice was, whose the voice was, and why the voice was calling out to him.

There was eerie quietness of the night that surrounded him.

He feared the unknown. For a moment in his contemplating thoughts, a weird reminder emitted a dry chuckle out of him. The absurdity of the situation had him feeling dumb standing there clueless. He felt like it was a scene from a cliché horror movie where the protagonist goes out at night to find the source of creepy sounds at which he used to roll his eyes thinking why the protagonist wouldn't just shut the door and sleep. Right now he thought the same, wondering if he should do the same, if he should not be stupid and ignore the lurking danger baiting him after all it could also be his sleep-deprived mindset playing tricks.

Making up his mind he turned around to just leave.

Once he showed his back to the source of danger goosebumps crept on his skin, his subconscious mind scaring him with thoughts of some random ghost jumping onto his back.

So he thought he should maybe just run instead of walk and just when he was about to do that the voice called out to him again making him flinch in his spot

"J-Jungkook, please"

The familiarity of that voice hit him hard, making him change his mind and his route in a split second so instead of going back to his house he went through the large metal doors of the gate and straight into the forest

He took a couple of more steps getting deep into the forest before halting and tuning his ears, tuning to listen to any signs of movement, to listen to that voice

"Jung—"

"Kookie?"

Jungkook was startled at the sharp voice of Taehyung that cut through the echo and rang in his ears as he concentrated keenly to listen for that voice. Jungkook turned back around to face Taehyung standing in the forest looking worried

"You ok?"

"Ye-yeah I just, I felt like someone was calling for me, calling my name"

"It could be Mrs. Jeon. She made hot chocolate for you and was calling for you but you didn't answer so I came out to look"

"Oh," but Jungkook was sure the voice that called out to him wasn't his mom's it was someone else. He had the same feeling he sensed before, it was like he knew who it was but he wasn't able to exactly pinpoint the person, like it was on the tip of his tongue but he wasn't able to let it out

"But, I thought the voice was coming from here" Jungkook murmured, he said that more to himself than Taehyung, he felt utterly distressed

"Calm down, Alpha might be sleepy so his mind is acting crazy. It wasn't from the forest it was from the house. Mrs. Jeon was calling for you from the house" Taehyung replied in an attempt to make sense of the situation and ease the troubled expression that the alpha had on his face

"If you say so," Jungkook resigned deciding not to talk about it but he didn't give up on his doubt he knew something was wrong. He noticed the sound of the voice vanished when Taehyung arrived so it means it only came out when he was alone.
