I waited silently at the park.

It's 5:10 pm, what's taking him so long?
Might as well look around.

I got up, walking slowly, enjoying the little beauties of nature.
Along the way, I bumped into someone's hard chest, and slightly stumbled back.

"Oh, I'm so sor- oh. You came," I rolled my eyes, as I saw that I had bumped into Jimin.
"Yeah, sorry I was late."
"Okay, whatever, now time for my dare."

We walked to a bench and sat down.
To be honest, my heart was beating rapidly.
Wonder if he makes me publicly embarrass myself, or wonder if this dare scars me for the rest of my life?!

Shit. You're so stupid Mina.

"Let's get started Min-Min," he smiled cutely.
"Yeah, let's sta-," I came to a stop.
"What did you just call me?"
"Min-Min," he said as if it was nothing big.
"Don't. Ever. Call. Me. That. Again." I glared daggers at him.
"Okay, calm down...always angry," he muttered the last part, but I heard it, I'd let it slide this time.

"For this dare, you're going to have to follow me," he got up.
Though I was reluctant, I still got up and followed him.

"Jimin! We've been walking for about 20 minutes now, where are you taking me?!" I yelled impatiently.
"We're almost there," he replied.

After 6 more minutes of walking, we reached a dark area.
But I didn't quite understand.
We were still outside, there was no roof above of us, or anything of that sort, then why was it so dark?

A shiver ran down my spine. I was feeling cold... in the summer.
On top of that, I was only wearing some denim shorts with a white t-shirt.

I closely examined my surroundings, the more my eyes travelled around, the more queer the surroundings became. Not only queer, but creepy.
Unconsciously, I held on to Jimin's arm.
"Jimin...where are we?" I said in a small voice.

I suddenly jumped and hugged him, burying my face into his chest, when I heard something snap behind us.
He slowly rubbed my back, "it's nothing Mina, just a cat, so stop being scared," he slightly chuckled.
Embarrassed, I let go of him.
"Well it's not my fault being scared in this shady ass place!" I yelled.
"Okay, okay," he chuckled,"time for the dare."

"You see that huge and creepy mansion over there?" He pointed ahead.
"Yeah," I gulped.

This is gonna be BAD.

"Because you're so strong and brave," he said while emphasizing on 'strong' and 'brave', "I dare you to go into that mansion alone, stay in there for five minutes...that means not in one spot. And don't worry, I'll be standing near the gate."

I turned to him.

"Are you like CRAZY?!"
"I can't do that! It's trespassing!" I yelled.

"You said that you'll agree to any dare I'll give you, and you also said that you want an extreme dare because you're not a little girl anymore," he said, seeming irked by my behavior.

"Fine. I'll do it."

With that, I walked towards the mansion.
Jimin stood at the gate.
Then, I stepped into the dead lawn and headed towards the door to the entrance...
