The Dorm Beneath the Woods.(Taekook)
The Warning!
The thunder came before dawn.
Taehyung’s grandmother jolted awake, her heart pounding.
The candle by her bed flickered violently, then went out.
She sat still, breathing hard, her eyes darting to the old clock — the hands stuck at 3:03 AM.
Grandmother
“Not again… please, not this time.”(whispering)
The nightmare clung to her mind — shadows in the woods, whispers calling Taehyung’s name, and a door opening slowly in the dark.
She pressed a trembling hand to her chest, muttering an old prayer.
The floor creaked. She hurried to Taehyung’s room.
He slept peacefully, his face calm under the faint moonlight.
She touched his forehead gently.
Grandmother
“You shouldn’t go, my child. Not to that place.”(Softly)
Morning broke gray and quiet.
Taehyung hummed lightly as he packed his clothes, unaware of his grandmother watching him from the kitchen doorway.
Taehyung
“Grandma, stop looking at me like that. I’ll be fine.”
Grandmother
“You shouldn’t go.”
Taehyung
“College doesn’t wait, you know. And it’s not even that far.”
He chuckled, shaking his head.
Taehyung
“You say that every time I go anywhere new.”
Grandmother
“This is different.”
Her tone made him stop folding his shirt. He looked at her carefully.
Taehyung
“You had that dream again, didn’t you?”
She didn’t answer. Her hands trembled slightly as she placed a cup of tea in front of him.
Grandmother
“I saw the woods. I heard someone call your name. You turned around… and then you disappeared.”
He smiled gently, trying to hide the shiver that ran through him.
Taehyung
“Dreams can’t hurt anyone, Grandma.”
Grandmother
“Some dreams come from places we don’t see.”
Taehyung
“You’re scaring me now.”
Grandmother
“Good. Maybe then you’ll listen.”
He sighed and sat beside her, holding her hand.
Taehyung
“You’ve always protected me, but I have to go. I can’t hide forever.”
Grandmother
“You sound just like your father.”
Taehyung
“Then maybe it runs in the family.”
She looked into his eyes — there was love, pride, and deep fear all at once.
She tied a small red-thread bracelet around his wrist.
Taehyung
“What’s this for?”
Grandmother
“For safety. Don’t take it off. Not even in sleep.”
Taehyung
“You and your charms.”
Grandmother
“You’ll thank me one day.”
As he picked up his bag, she stepped forward suddenly, gripping his arm tightly.
Grandmother
“If you hear someone call your name at night… don’t answer. No matter what voice you hear.”
Taehyung
(softly) “Grandma…”
Grandmother
“And if you ever feel cold from inside out—run.”
He frowned, confused, but didn’t ask. Something in her tone stopped him.
Rain started as he left.
She stood under the porch, hands clasped, watching him go.
Grandmother
“Forgive me… I can’t tell him. The curse would wake faster.”😢(to herself)
The dorm stood hidden behind tall trees — old, cracked, and silent.
A single crow flew over as Taehyung arrived at the iron gate.
He was dragging his suitcase when a figure rushed past him, brushing his shoulder.
Taehyung
“Hey! Watch where you’re going!”🤨
The boy turned back, his black hoodie dripping rain.
Jungkook
“You should watch where you stand.”🙄
Jungkook
“You were blocking the gate.”😒
Taehyung
“You could’ve said ‘excuse me.’ That’s what normal people do.”
Jungkook
(grinning slightly) “Maybe I’m not normal.”
For a second, Taehyung didn’t know if he was annoyed or amused.
Taehyung
“Fine. I’m Taehyung.”😐
Taehyung
“We already started off with a fight. Great first impression.”
Jungkook
“It’ll make a good story later.”😉
They shared a small laugh.
The tension faded for a moment — but when Jungkook turned away, Taehyung noticed something strange.
His reflection in the rain puddle… moved a second later.
Before they could get inside.
Jin
“Hey! You two lovebirds done blocking the door?”
Namjoon
: “You must be the new ones. Come inside before you freeze.”😁
They all gathered in the common area, wiping off rainwater.
There were 3 more people standing in the common room
Hosoek
“So, we’re all sharing this haunted mansion now?”🙂
Jimin
“Don’t say haunted!”
Yoongi
“It looks haunted.”(deadpan)
Taehyung
“At least it’s cozy… sort of.”😅
Jin
“We’ll make it home. Just don’t break anything.”
For a few moments, the air was light — warm laughter cutting through the chill.
Taehyung caught Jungkook’s gaze across the room; something unreadable passed between them — quiet, cautious curiosity.
Then, suddenly, the air shifted.
The front door creaked open again — slowly, heavily.
A man stepped inside. Tall. Pale. Dressed in black. His eyes sharp and unreadable.
The word was enough. Every sound died instantly.
He stepped closer, his boots echoing against the floor.
Mr. Han
“I am Mr. Han. Your warden. You will obey the rules.”
His tone was clipped, cold.
Mr. Han
“No one leaves after nine. No talking after ten. No visitors. And—”
His gaze flicked toward the far end of the hall.
Mr. Han
“No one goes near the basement. Ever.”
Jin
“Why? What’s down there?”🤨
Mr. Han’s stare froze him in place.
Mr. Han
“Curiosity will get you hurt.”
Taehyung
“It’s locked?”(quietly)
Mr. Han
“It’s sealed. For a reason.”
He turned sharply and walked away, his footsteps echoing until they faded into nothing.
Yoongi
“Told you. Haunted.”
Jungkook
“Don’t joke about it. Guys like him don’t guard empty basements.”( eyeing taehyung) 👀
Taehyung looked at him — curious, slightly uneasy.
Taehyung
“Maybe you’re right.”
A faint creak echoed down the hallway — a door closing by itself.
The group turned.
No one was there.

“The Whispers Begin"
The night settled over the dorm like a heavy blanket.
Rain had stopped, but the air still smelled of damp wood and earth.
Inside, the seven boys unpacked, filling the silent halls with soft chatter.
Jin
“This place is bigger than it looked from outside.”
Namjoon
“Yeah. Old too. The walls look like they’ve seen a hundred years.”
Hosoek
“And heard a few ghosts too, maybe.”(Nervous laugh)
Jimin
“Hobi, stop! Don’t start already!”😒
Yoongi
“He’s not wrong. Look at the cracks. Feels like something’s watching.”
Taehyung placed his bag near the bed and glanced around.
Their dorm room was long, with wooden floors that creaked at every step. The windows faced the forest — dark and endless.
Taehyung
“We’ll get used to it.”
Jungkook
“Maybe.”(quietly)
Taehyung
“You’re scared already?”
Jungkook
“I’m not scared. Just cautious.”😒
Taehyung
“Cautious sounds like a fancy word for scared.”😂
Jungkook
“You talk too much.”
Taehyung
“You talk too less.”
That made Jungkook laugh.
Jungkook
“Guess we balance each other out then.”
Taehyung didn't reply, but a small smile tugged at his lips.
Dinner was quiet.
They sat around the old dining table, the dim yellow bulbs flickering overhead.
The warden didn’t join them, but his footsteps echoed upstairs, slow and steady.
Jin
“Creepy how he walks around like that.”
Namjoon
“Maybe he’s just checking rooms.”
The warden entered quietly, his steps heavy, his face unreadable.
Mr. Han
“Follow the rules, keep to your rooms after ten. The forest is off limits.”
Namjoon
“Why? Is it dangerous?”
Mr. Han
(pausing)“The forest remembers things that should be forgotten.”
His words hung in the air, making everyone uneasy.
Hosoek
“You mean… wild animals?”(trying to smile)
Mr. Han
“Something like that.”(sternly)
He turned and left without another word.
The sound of his footsteps echoed down the hallway — slow, steady, fading.
Hosoek
“I don’t like him.”
Yoongi
“Strict people blink. Did you notice? He didn’t blink once.”
They laughed nervously, brushing it off. But Taehyung couldn’t stop thinking about his grandmother’s face that morning — the fear in her eyes.
Later that night, they gathered in the living room, sitting close to the old fireplace.
The firewood crackled, throwing shadows across the walls.
Jimin
“Let’s play a game! Truth or dare!”
Hosoek
“Not in a haunted dorm,Jinimahh..
Taehyung
“Come on, it’ll be fun.”😆
Jungkook
“Fine. But no dares involving the basement.”
They laughed, taking turns — light, harmless questions at first.
But the warmth didn’t last long.
A sharp knock came from upstairs.
Everyone froze.
Jin
“Is someone else here?”
Namjoon
“Maybe the warden.”
Yoongi
“The warden doesn’t knock.”
The knock came again. Slower. Louder.
Three times.
Taehyung
“It came from our floor…”(whispering)
Jungkook
“Stay here. I’ll check.”(standing up)
Taehyung
“Wait, I’ll come with you.”
They climbed the stairs together — the wooden steps groaning under their weight.
The corridor was long and dim. The lights buzzed weakly, one flickering on and off.
Taehyung
“Do you think someone’s trying to scare us?”(softly)
Jungkook
“No. This doesn’t feel like a prank.”
They stopped in front of the door at the end of the hallway.
The air was colder there.
Taehyung
“This one’s locked.”
Jungkook
“Then who knocked from inside?”
Before they could speak again, a voice — faint, fragile — came from behind the door.
Every muscle in Taehyung’s body went still.
Taehyung
“Did you… hear that?”(barely breathing)
The voice whispered again, slower this time —
Taehyung
“It… it said my name.”(shaking)😨
Jungkook
“We’re going downstairs.”(firmly)
He grabbed Taehyung’s wrist and pulled him away.
As they turned, the lights above them flickered once more — and the door handle twitched.
Everyone was standing when they reached the bottom.
Taehyung
(breathing hard)“Someone’s in that room.”
Namjoon
“But that door’s always locked.”
Yoongi
“Maybe not tonight.”
Just then, the warden’s voice came from the stairs.
Mr. Han
“What are you all doing up?”
His tone was low, almost angry.
Jin
“We heard knocking upstairs.”
Mr. Han
(sternly) “No one goes upstairs after 10. Especially near that room.”
Taehyung
“Why? What’s in there?”
Mr. Han
“Things that don’t concern you.”(coldly)
His eyes landed on Taehyung for a moment — sharp and unreadable — before he turned away.
His tone was sharp, cold — but there was something else in it too. Fear.
The boys nodded and went upstairs.
As Taehyung lay in bed later, he stared at the ceiling, unable to sleep.
His grandmother’s voice echoed in his head —
Grandmother
“If you hear someone call your name at night… don’t answer.”
He turned his head slightly. Jungkook was awake too, watching the window.
Taehyung
“You heard it too, right?”(softly)
Jungkook
(nodding) “Yeah. And whatever it was… it knew you.”
The wind blew softly outside — and somewhere deep in the dorm, a door creaked open on its own.
