"C'mon Taehyung! you're the last one." Jin sheathed his form within his cape. 

They were tiptoeing past the chair where the girl sat when their feet got entangled due to which they tripped over. 

Before they could manage themselves or take any action, the cape exposed them, making them fully visible as Jin's eyes lost their shine.

"Oh crap!" 

That's when the girl stopped rocking the chair as she turned her gaze in their direction. 

Her frizzled, jet-black hair hung over her sniffy-looking face. Instead of the eyes, her cavities were hollow, black smoke flowing out of them. Her powdered feet were inverted backward. Surely an appearance that anyone would want to forget immediately. 

"Hurry!! Stand up!" Yoongi exclaimed as the girl was now striding towards them. 

"Ugh!" Jin was still on the floor as his cape got stuck inside one of the drawers of the nightstand behind. Taehyung's hands were busy trying to detach it. 

While she was progressing to them in the creepiest way, craving to snatch their souls away.

In a fraction of seconds, Hoseok's eyes changed their color to reddish-orange as he clenched his fists. The orange flames danced above his palm. Without a thought, he launched a fireball towards the girl. 

Suddenly without warning, the night sky was lit up by flashes of electricity. The lightning crashed through the sky as loud as a thunderbolt getting louder and louder screeching through the air. In an instant, the fragile windows shattered into a thousand tiny pieces like a glass blizzard and a deafening gust of wind swept into the room and extinguished Hoseok's flames, his eyes faded back.

The girl began to laugh hysterically like a maniac which sounded ridiculous to their ears. 

In the blur of the moment, Taehyung got rid of Jin's cape and they rushed out of the room, slamming the door behind.

They didn't realize when they had arrived in the hallway. All of them leaped onto the sofa, trying to catch their rapid breaths. The more they stared into the dark corridor, the more they could see something, someone staring back at them. The feeling of being constantly watched never leaving them.

Unanticipatedly, a bright golden ray of light emerged out from the half-broken window as if sent by heaven and cast on one of the books placed in the grand bookcase.

They went near.

"OCCULT" Moon pronounced what was written on the top center of the book as she picked it up.

"Only the right door can lead you outside." she read out flipping the first page.

They exchanged hushed glances as she turned another page.

"A spirit cannot be ended without a body."

A moment of silence fell as their eyes bore into each other's, a horrified expression painted on their faces.

"Huh? We really are living in a bubble...unbeliebubble!" Jin emphasized each word and then chuckled at his own statement.

"Seriously hyung?!" Jimin glared at him while everyone chose better to just ignore him. 

"I'm doing that!" Hoseok spoke with a stern voice.

"Are you s-...sure?" the rest of them asked in unison.

Hoseok nodded with the most serious expression ever.

"But it's very risky!" Jungkook tucked onto the sleeve of his shirt like a baby.  

"Whatsoever, somebody has to take the charge." 

"Alright!"

With a deep breath, Hoseok left to the abyss of death, to the room where the girl's spirit was.

Minutes later, he came back but didn't utter a single word. His head was hung low, his face paler than ever.

He slowly lifted his head. That's when they noticed the look in his eyes, it was...pitch black. Dark purple veins popping out of his neck.

As per their expectations, the malevolent spirit of the girl took up residence in Hoseok's consciousness. He became...possessed.

Soon he started to climb up the wall, whispering unintelligible words, his wicked laugh filling the atmosphere.

He immediately snapped his eyes to the side and a wooden chair came flying in their direction. 

Thankfully they jerked off and the chair smashed on the floor.

"How will you save your friend now?" the girl controlling his body hooted with laughter.

"ARGHHH!" Hoseok shrieked in pain as he rammed a nail into his own hand, the blood spilled out.

"It hurts...p-please save me!! I'm your friend, Hoseok!" He pleaded, tears cascading down his cheeks.

"H-Hoseok hyung?" Jimin stepped forward.

"Don't listen to him, he's emotionally blackmailing us!" Namjoon pulled him back by grabbing his wrist.

"But he's calling us for help! He's our Hoseok." Bee shouted back.

"Why don't you understand? It's just a freaking trap!" Namjoon yelled, shaking her up as the frustration build up in his eyes which now gleamed emerald. 

They titled their heads in Hoseok's direction who now descended down the wall and at that very moment, all his whimpering changed into an evil smirk.

"See!"

Their heart ached upon seeing the person whom they once cherished in that miserable condition. It stung to see the person who used to endure everything with a sunshine smile was now battling within himself. It hurt so much.

"Sit everyone." Moon stated.

All of them did so. They sat down in a circle, holding each other hands.

Moon placed the book they've found earlier in the middle of the circle. 

"No one will leave hands no matter what happens!" she announced clear and loud.

Then they initiated to chant a 'mantra'  transcribed in 'occult'.

Hoseok began being restless as their loud voices were heard in his ears. He boomed almost with a deafening roar. The lights flickered vigorously. The wind intensified outside, the rustling of leaves and branches got louder as the windows clattered aggressively and fell out of their frames, shattering into pieces. The steps of the staircase crumbled, tumbling into debris. 

On account of his outbreak, the massive chandelier loosened its strings from the ceiling and crashed down right beside them. Of course, they flinched because of its impact but they didn't stop repeating the mantra.

The next moment, an uprooted door came flying and struck Taehyung's chest due to which his hands lost their grip. He got separated as he landed on his back.

"ARGH!"

He stood up taking support of the sofa. His eyes glowed to a gorgeous shade of purple. 

"Don't worry about me guys, continue!" he declared. 

Taehyung brought both of his arms together as he discharged strong purple energy currents. He shot them to Hoseok who then howled an ear-piercing screech. 

On one side, Taehyung was holding Hoseok at a position with his powers. 

While on the other, the rest of them reiterating the mantra at the top of their voices. 

Together they casting out the girl's spirit out from his body.

And with one last scream, the noises came to an end as the bloodthirsty evil soul embodying him dissipated out and burst into white feathers, then vanishing into the thin air. 

Hoseok fell limp on the floor. They instantly unfolded their hands and ran to him.

"Hoseok?...Hoseok, are you okay?!" Yoongi joggled him as he gradually opened his eyes which were now bearing their original soft chestnut color.

They all were crying out the tears of relief together in a group hug when the door opened, and this time, the right one.
