"Hey, I'll take the next shift," Min Hyun walks up to the same lanky ghost that knew Jimin. The one that chased both of you down the hallway.

"You sure?" He raised an eyebrow. "What's with the sudden enthusiasm?" Min Hyun shrugged his shoulders at the question. "I thought you might need a break. I heard that you just came up from level eighteen. They must be really hard to deal with, right?" Min Hyun hums, trying to persuade the hong kong guy.

"Okay, thanks." Hong Kong trudges over to the opposite direction, disappearing into the lift. "Psst, he's gone now, you can come out!" Min Hyun whispered to you.

The ghosts in the cells eyed him, then to the direction where you were hiding in. Did he have to be that obvious?

You sighed, taking a step out of your hiding spot. You were at the end of the hallway, where Jimin had helped your injury heal.

Whereas Min Hyun was in the middle of the hallway, with thousands of eyes on him.

Before you could walk out, Jimin grabs your arm and pulled you into his chest. What the heck? "One minute, please." he murmurs as he stuffs his head into your neck.

His breathing was uneven and shaky. "Jimin? You okay?" you whispered, rubbing circles on his back. Ghosts were once human too, you reminded yourself, they have feelings. Jimin hums softly, hands wrapped around your back.

You wondered, what was wrong with him?

Both of you stayed still in that exact spot. You inhaled sharply. This spot seemed to be a place where you and Jimin shared the most skinship.

Heat rose to your cheeks, forming two dark red hues on your skin.

Jimin... this was where you were hip-to-hip, chest-to-chest with him. He pulls back, walking out of the hiding spot without sparing you a glance.

Your brows pulled together in exasperation. Why would he hug you, then leave you the next second? What was he trying to do? You felt so trustfrated. How could he do this to you?

Why didn't he give you an explanation about his actions?

It wasn't right to just hug a girl and leave her alone.

You walked out after him, fiddling with the ends of your dress. You felt uncomfortable, walking down the pathway with thousands of eyes on you.

"Get him out," Jimin ordered, signaling for Min Hyun to do his part. Min Hyun bowed his head in obedience. Once again, Jimin's eyes twinkled. You squinted, narrowing your gaze to his eyes.

They held an unidentified emotion.

"Hyung!" Jungkook chirps, doe eyes glistening with ecstasy. Min Hyun steps into the cell. Like, literally step through it. Your mouth formed an 'o' shaped as your eyebrows lifted. Before meeting Jimin, you had always thought that ghosts could walk through things.

However, after meeting him, you realised that it was just a myth. Those country erasers and raw eggs landed on Jimin himself, not through him.

Was this a special ability only guards had? You watched in awe as Min Hyun's body passes through the iron metal bars. He became translucent as he walked through.

When he was on the other side, his body regained colour - the red that fit his skin. Min Hyun smiles warmly at Jungkook, before extending his hand.

You watched as Jungkook's cheeks rose as his lips pulled backward. His adorable little gummy smile formed as he grabbed the hippo's hand.

The sight warmed your heart.

"Stop eye raping my friend, you fat durian," Jimin spat out, rolling his eyes in the process of doing so. You groan, shooting him a dirty look.

"If I'm a fat durian, you're a fat pig." You snorted, eyes rolling three hundred and sixty degrees. Jungkook chortles as he stepped out of his cage with the demon.

"I'm not a pig!" he protests, a small pout forming on his lips. Oh man holy shit. He was so cute. Before you could fire back another insult, shuffling noises resonated in the air.

The other ghosts that witnessed the scene were like magnets. Immediately, their bodies pulled towards the nearest part of the cage that faced Jungkook. Even the ones that were hiding were staring at Jungkook, Jimin, Min Hyun, and you.

"Let me out," one of them whined, crying loudly. Other cries for help eventually filled the air, causing a ruckus. "Hey!" Min Hyun bellows, deep and dark voice cutting through the cacophony of voices.

"If you don't want extra punishments, stay silent," the innocent demon growls, shutting the ghosts up. "Keep your filthy mouths shut, and I'll consider helping you shorten your life sentence,"

You look over to Jimin, raising an eyebrow. You were still under-educated about this whole 'hungry ghost festival' thing and its rules.

"Hey, they have feelings," you defended, the corner of your lips tugged downwards as you eyed Min Hyun. Blood rushes to his cheeks as he bowed his head in shame.

An unfamiliar grin crept its way onto Jungkook's face. "The fun begins now."

Jimin bumps his fist, shooting you a seductive wink. You weren't going to fall for it. "The only reason I'm here is that I don't need my soul to be stuck in hell forever. Can we just fetch your other friends and gets this over with?" You folded your arms, wiping all sorts of emotion off your face.

"Oh tulips," Jungkook grinned sinisterly. What was with the name-calling? "There's no way, we could get this over with that quickly." all signs of bunny, cute Jungkook had been completely wiped off his face.

Shivers ran down your spine as Jimin made eye contact with you. Before you could say anything, an unfamiliar voice made its way to your ears.

"Y/n."

Also, there is something I want to address. This is towards meant for 'fake armys'. Hate has been directed to bts lately, and honestly, I can't believe this is happening? It's my personal opinion, and I HAVE RIGHTS TO SAY THIS. So if you're going to come at me OR if you disagree, please gtfo my page. Honestly, can I laugh my ass off? Like, armys can figure out where Jungkook buys his clothes, or what lipstick brand Taehyung uses, despite his efforts to hide it.

If you could easily find out about THOSE, which isn't something everyone can do, then why can't you find out the backstory to something before throwing someone under the bus? I mean, the lyrics to Yoongi's song. I'm not a news person, but my friend had shortened it and explained it on her insta story. I read bits here and there, so I kinda get the gist.

If I'm right, he used an anti-black, anti-korean rapper's lyrics as a sample to diss him? I mean, why is Yoongi receiving so much hate, FROM HIS OWN FANDOM? Just for doing that? It isn't his fault, the fault belongs to whoever tried to throw Yoongi under the bus before getting to the bottom of this matter. Did y'all forget? Namjoon pleaded us to trust them more.

Also, what was more heartbreaking is that Yoongi had gone live, and he was asked "who's behind you?". (I'm not entirely sure but I've seen a few Instagram posts) He answered, "Army. It's so reassuring."

Now, hate is being directed towards Taehyung. I don't fully understand the situation, but I know it's something related to weverse. And god, bts has a LIFE TO LIVE. Honestly speaking, they have two lives. One on camera, the other is private life.

Dealing with ONE life is already difficult. Try dealing with two. They're HUMAN. They need breaks. Listen, they practice 16 hours a day, which means they only have 8 hours left to themselves. Scientists say that everyone needs a healthy eight hours sleep. So, what would you rather? Bangtan staying up, despite being so tired, to talk to army? or getting sufficient rest?

Honestly, it's up to bts. They could do that, only IF THEY WANTED TO. Yes, it's their job. But they've already done so much for us. They do interact with the fans, they try their best to. Taehyung didn't need to play games with army, but he chose to do it anyway.

I don't know if you guys remember, but Taehyung once commented :

and tbh, we don't deserve him.

the last matter I want to address is about army's telling bts to use their platform. I saw this post, and I took some screenshots to share.

The person talked about how we SHOULD NOT FORCE bts to use their platform for the blacklivesmatter issue. Everyone's talking about how bts has a huge platform, and how they should use it to spread awareness. I agree with what s/he says. In my opinion, those fans, or people, who are forcing bts to use their platforms are just unreasonable.If bts wants to do it, they'll do it. You can't force someone to do something they don't wanna do. They have the rights to choose. I don't understand why bts didn't post about it, but I completely respect their decision. They might have their reasons for not doing so.
