SUNGMIN and Donghae didn't understand the concept of
having a different holiday for the dead. In Korea, Cheusok was the time
for visiting their ancestors. It was not a scary event, the family
gathered at the house of the eldest son and they were able to share
food, bow to their elders and play games with family members. It was
also a time to pay respects to their ancestors. The men did this
primarily while the women handled everything else. Sungmin's wife, Jans
had suffered through her first Cheusok well. She was used to being with a
big family and helping out around their house. Nina, Donghae's fiancee
had a harder time since she was more of an eater than a cook.
Sungmin and Donghae however don't understand why scary holidays like Halloween and All Soul's Day appealed to their ladies.
Sungmin was wearing a Ronald Weasley outfit and Donghae was Pinochio.
Nina was a princess and Jans was a witch, to match Sungmin's outfit.
They wear costumes for a living so doing this seemed ordinary. But the
two women were excited to go to the company costume party. Why Sungmin's
dad ever agreed to hosting it, Sungmin would never understand. It was
in a house that was supposed to look like a haunted house. Sungmin was
just scared that the place would have molds and that Jans would inhale
it. Their baby was not going to come out healthy if that was the case.
Cramped in a company car, Sungmin next to Jans and Donghae was sitting
at the passenger seat. The princess was driving, Nina was not the best
driver but since Donghae didn't know the way, she had to drive. They've
been on the road for a while. Nina tried her best to miss potholes. But
the road was rougher than she anticipated. Sungmin prayed that they
would be safe.
Almost as soon as he finished praying they heard a loud sound. Sungmin had heard that before. It was a tire blowing up. Great.
Donghae and Sungmin went out to check
the damage and saw that they had not one but two flat tires. Donghae
sighed and looked at their outfits. “You're the wizard, can't you
magically fix this?”
“Do I look like I can?” he smirked.
“I am sure you can handle it yourself.” Donghae teased him.
“Your nose is growing.” Donghae laughed.
“Let's just call someone to come and
fetch us. I can't risk trying to fix this without professional help.” he
saw that there was no signal. “Darn it. Can you try your phone?” he
asked.
“Let's ask the girls. They have local phones.” Donghae looked inside the car and screamed.
Sungmin rushed to Donghae's side and
felt like crying. There was no one in the car. He tried to dial his
wife's number but realized he still didn't have a signal. He called out
for Jans and Donghae felt his heart was being squeezed by a cold hand.
He couldn't even call out for Nina. He felt like crying but if he did,
he was sure Sungmin would panic. His wife was pregnant. So he had to bes
strong for his friend too.
“Mahal!” he called out for Nina. His
voice was breaking. Sungmin looked at him and they had to laugh. He also
called out the same word.
“I need to change my pet name for her, huh?” Sungmin teased.
“I'll do it. You got married first.”
they tried to laugh off their fear when Donghae heard Nina scream then
Jans' “Oh my god!” reached their ears.
They looked around but couldn't see their beloveds. Donghae sniffed
hard to try to stop his tears. He was ran towards the darkness and tried
to call out for Nina. Sungmin stopped him and dragged him back to the
car. “Calm down, Hae!” Sungmin felt like crying too. His wife and his
baby might be in danger but if they get caught too, by whatever it was
got the girls, he won't be able to rescue them.
“How can you calm down at a time like
this!” Sounds of screaming pain flew up in the sky and the goosebumps
were growing goosebumps. Sungmin heard a phone ring inside the car. He
saw that Jans left her phone at the back seat. He saw that it was an
unknown number.
“Hello?” he was damn near to tears.
“We have your women.” the eerie voice said on the other end. He could hear wailing at the background.
“Where are you?” he tried to sound tough again. He needed to since Donghae was damn near to passing out in fear.
“Take the marked foot path. We'll see you underground.” the voice was that of a witch woman now.
“What marked foot path?” he was confused.
“Near the cliff, the is a marker, a
tombstone. You will see it and know it's the right one when you see it.”
the call ended and Sungmin wanted to scream in frustration. He took the
phone and tried to check the nearby cliff. There was a fence to prevent
cars from falling and there were fences to prevent people from falling
in accidentally. He saw an odd tombstone that was near a metal gate. It
read Here Lies The Path. There was skull on it and the thing had glowing
red eyes. Donghae didn't want to go down without any help but it was
getting colder and creepier by the minute. Sungmin wanted to be with
Jans and protect her in case there were graver threats down there.
“Nina needs you. Man up.” Sungmin was
now Donghae's senior in life. Donghae had admired how a few months of
being a husband has changed the way Sungmin was. He used to tease his
friend for being such a aegyo master. But at times like this, Sungmin
had more balls than he did.
Donghae puffed his chest but groaned
when he saw that they had to walk at an earth path. As they walked down
the path actually had glow in the dark skills, spiders and pumpkins.
Sungmin had worn those things a lot. But he didn't like them in their
scary forms.
When they got down at the bottom of the stairs, he saw that they were
at the doorstop of a creepy old house. It looked Spanish and made out of
stone. There was a woman standing at the door, not moving.
“I am here for my wife. Where is
she?” Sungmin said. The woman gestured to the door which moved on its
own. Donghae wanted to pee.
The whole place was illuminated by random seemingly floating candles.
Sungmin walked into a group of immobile manequins. Some had elaborate
life-like faces. All of them scary. Once Donghae and Sungmin got into
the middle of the ballroom, the manequins started to move and close in
on them. Donghae screamed, “I don't want to die before I get married!!!”
Sungmin said, “I want to be a father before I die!”
“Yobo!” The lights went on and Jans
was laughing with Nina onstage. The other SuJus were there in assorted
costumes, of course they were laughing.
Kyuhun had the microphone, “Gotcha.” was all he said.
Sungmin didn't know whether to kill Kyuhun or grab his wife and go home. He went upstage and hugged her instead.
Donghae was not moving from the middle of the dance floor. He had a
horried look on his face. Nina walked towads him and touched his face.
“Sweetie, it's just a joke.”
Donghae seemed to snap out of his trance and grabbed hold of her in a
fierce hug. “Don't ever do that again. I'd rather die than not be with
you. Don't you ever do that again.” he let go of his tears and kissed
her all over her face.
Nina smiled and held her Pinocchio.
Sungmin turned to his wife. “You thought this was going to be funny, didn't you?” he asked.
Jans put her index fingers together, pouted then did her own aegyo. “I'm sorry.” Sungmin sighed.
“Just don't leave my side. I would kill all the creatures her if they try to take you from me.” Jans leg him hug her.
“Did I mention that this place is really haunted?” Jans teased.
“No more talking.” Sungmin kissed her.
The woman at the door looked at the
couple and her eyes grew bloodier and the tears fell on her pale face.
“Someday my lover will come home and I would be happy too. I would wait
for him until the end of time.”
