Some horror drabbles
Wrote some horror drabbles inspired by horror stories on reddit ^^
This is the product of procrastination. Again.
There are some slight pairings if you squint =u= anyway R&R
i.
Suho noticed some time ago that Kai keeps watching. During interviews, performances, even backstage. He could sense this intense gaze on him and he knows it’s Kai. Because it’s always Kai. And Suho thinks it’s almost endearing. Just not when he’s sleeping and Kai keeps watching from the foot of his bed. If he knew this would happen he never would have killed him in the first place.
ii.
Tao loves to wear accessories with skulls and crosses all over. He thinks it’s cool and tries to get Kris to wear some too. One day, he buys a pair of skull earrings and gives one half to Kris. Kris wears it and Tao beams. Kris regrets it though. Because since Tao’s car accident, his ear is red from trying to take the earing off but he can’t, and at night he gets woken up by Tao’s shrill voice screaming in pain.
iii.
“RUN!” Luhan screams as the crowd stampedes towards them. He looks at his hand and Yixing’s is there safe and sound. He grasps it tightly, as tight as he can, because he’s never going to lose his best friend to a mob of crazed fangirls, or a bomb threat for that matter.
They keep running and Luhan can already see the slight glow of the red ‘EXIT’ light and he thinks ‘Just a little further’. But with all those people and that tiny exit, they would have to push through to fit. Horror fills his eyes and he trembles as he realizes the hand he was holding onto was gone. He looks back frantically and he doesn’t see what he’s looking for.
His heartbeat blocks out the explosions in the building.
Luhan wakes up sweating. ‘It was just a dream’ he thinks, before he realizes that he’s trapped in a small dark box and can’t get out. His heartbeat blocks out his screams.
iv.
The first time Kyungsoo hears that lone shutter sound, he doesn’t think much of it. Being an idol, they had to be accustomed to getting pictures taken all the time, so he brushed it off as some fansite.
The second time he hears the shutter, he looks back. They’re in the car going to their next location, and it’s impossible to have that sound in the car. His eyes are alert, but soon enough Chanyeol’s snoring makes him think that he’s just tired.
The third time is back at the dorm living room, where he looks left and right to find the source. He thinks he’s going crazy as his band mates look at him weirdly. He thinks he’s going crazy too as he hears it in the bathroom and somehow he gets scared.
The fourth time he hears it, he’s together with Kai in their room. He looks around distracted while Kai manages to score a shot in NBA playoffs and does a little victory dance that makes Kyungsoo say “Didn’t you hear that?”. “Hear what hyung? The sound of me winning?” And Kai does this smirk that makes Kyungsoo want to punch him. Hard. And he ignores the sound once again.
The shutter sounds get more frequent and he decides to confront Suho about it. Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and so on, he keeps on hearing that annoying shutter sound. His eyes are large in fear and frustration and he keeps looking back. Suho just pats his head and tells him to go to sleep, that he’s just tired.
And maybe he is. As he tucks himself in bed, the thirteenth shutter sounded and that’s when he wishes he shouldn’t have looked up. Perhaps he is going crazy.
v.
“Chanyeol, stop cheating!” Baekhyun punches him on the shoulder.
“But I’m not!” Chanyeol laughs, “I’m just naturally good at this!”
Baekhyun throws down his controller at his 5th straight loss “You’ve never been this good at Tekken 5 before, how in the world did you improve this much!? And with that panda character too!”
Chanyeol chuckles. The truth is, he just keeps on pressing random buttons. He doesn’t know how he kicked Baekhyun’s ass like that, it just happened. “Well, if you’re lucky like me…” Chanyeol starts to say as he gets up and goes to his table.
“What, what are you going to say huh?” Baekhyun says annoyed. Chanyeol stops talking and is staring at the table. Baekhyun stands up, “Hey, what’s -“
On the table, Chanyeol had written on a piece of paper.
“LET ME PLAY.”
And that’s definitely not Chanyeol’s handwriting.
vi.
Sehun snorts as he walks along the road to his favourite bubble tea shop. He was buying one alone for the first time, ‘Suits Luhan and the rest for not coming with me, they don’t deserve any bubble tea.’ He get’s his favourite flavour in XL and gets back to the dorm. He walks leisurely, kicking little pebbles along the way, savouring his bubble tea. Halfway there, he decides to stop by a nearby park. He yawns, amazed that he suddenly feels sleepy in the middle of the day. As he struggles to sip the last pieces of those chewing black balls, he feels his phone vibrate. He pulls out his phone and reads the text message from an unknown number:
WHY DIDN’T YOU BRING LUHAN TODAY?
He chokes, feels his breath hitch and drops to the floor. He knew he should have gotten wintermelon instead.
vii.
At first, Minseok thought Jongdae was joking when he said “Don’t look away from that statue!”. But as time passed, Minseok finds himself unable to look away. They were only supposed to be in the park for a game of basketball. It was Jongdae’s great idea to go ahead of the rest. It’s also Jongdae’s great idea to leave him there to fetch the others. It’s also Jongdae’s great idea to tell him to look at the stupid statue.
10 minutes have passed and his eyes are starting to dry. He can’t even get his phone to text or call. He doesn’t remember when it started to move, 5 minutes ago? 3? Or has it even passed 10 minutes yet, he doesn’t know. As the face of the angel statue distorts to a fairly demonic one, he can only think ‘Kim Jongdae, fuck you.’
