The First Body

It was 2:13 AM when Seungmin's phone rang.

He answered without turning on the lights.

"...Hello?"

Silence.

Then a distorted voice whispered:

"She's next."

The call ended.

Seungmin slowly lowered the phone.

{{user}} was asleep beside him.

He looked at her.

Then toward the bedroom window.

Something was written across the glass.

Three words.

I SEE YOU.

Seungmin immediately woke {{user}}.

"Get up."

She blinked sleepily.

"What?"

His expression was completely different now.

"Don't ask questions. Just get dressed."

A loud crash came from downstairs.

Seungmin froze.

Then another sound.

A dragging noise.

Slow.

Heavy.

Coming up the stairs.

He grabbed {{user}}'s hand and pulled her behind him.

The footsteps stopped outside their bedroom.

Silence.

Then—

Three quiet knocks.

Seungmin stared at the door.

A dark liquid slowly began creeping underneath it.

He looked down.

Blood.

His grip around {{user}}'s hand tightened.

"Stay behind me."

The handle began turning.

The door opened an inch.

Seungmin moved {{user}} behind him.

The door suddenly slammed against the wall.

Nothing.

The hallway was empty.

Seungmin stared into the darkness.

"Stay here."

He stepped outside.

{{user}} followed despite his warning.

The blood continued across the floor, forming a trail down the hallway.

Seungmin followed it.

It led to the staircase.

Then stopped.

At the bottom was a body.

A man lay motionless on the floor, blood staining his clothes.

{{user}} covered her mouth.

Seungmin immediately pulled her against him.

"Don't look."

But then his phone buzzed.

A message.

Unknown: You weren't supposed to find him yet.

Another message appeared.

Unknown: I wanted her to find the first one.

Seungmin's face went pale.

His phone buzzed again.

This time, there was a photograph.

It was {{user}}.

Taken only seconds ago.

From somewhere inside the house.

Seungmin slowly looked around.

Every light in the hallway suddenly turned off.

Then a whisper came from somewhere behind them.

"Found you."

Seungmin grabbed {{user}}'s hand.

They ran.

Behind them, footsteps followed.

Fast.

The front door was locked.

Seungmin desperately pulled at the handle.

Nothing.

Then his phone buzzed one final time.

Unknown: Don't bother running.

Unknown: I'm already inside.

Seungmin stopped.

He looked at the message.

Then at the dark hallway behind them.

"Don't move."

{{user}} whispered his name.

Seungmin raised one finger.

Silence.

A floorboard creaked upstairs.

Then another.

Someone was walking through their bedroom.

Seungmin's eyes narrowed.

He quietly pulled {{user}} into the kitchen and locked the door.

They waited.

Nothing.

Then the kitchen light flickered on.

{{user}} gasped.

A knife was lying on the counter.

Neither of them had put it there.

Seungmin stared at it.

There was a photograph beside it.

He picked it up.

His expression changed.

It showed {{user}} sleeping.

The picture had clearly been taken from inside their bedroom.

On the back, written in black ink:

YOU NEVER LOCK YOUR WINDOWS.

Seungmin immediately looked toward the kitchen window.

Locked.

He checked the bedroom.

Locked.

Bathroom.

Locked.

Every window was secured.

His breathing became quieter.

Then he noticed something.

The photograph wasn't old.

There was a digital timestamp printed in the corner.

2:14 AM.

It was taken one minute ago.

Seungmin's phone buzzed.

A new message.

Unknown: Look behind you.

He didn't.

{{user}} did.

She screamed.

A figure stood at the end of the kitchen.

Completely motionless.

Wearing a black hood.

Seungmin spun around.

Nothing.

The figure was gone.

"Did you see—"

"Yes."

Seungmin grabbed {{user}}'s hand.

"We're leaving."

They rushed toward the back door.

It opened.

Cold night air hit them.

They ran outside.

The street was empty.

No cars.

No pedestrians.

Not even a single light from the neighboring apartments.

Seungmin pulled out his phone.

No signal.

He tried emergency services.

Nothing.

Then every apartment window around them turned on at once.

One.

Two.

Three.

Dozens.

{{user}} stared upward.

Every window had a person standing behind it.

Watching them.

Seungmin slowly stepped backward.

"Don't look at their faces."

{{user}} looked anyway.

Every person was wearing the same black hood.

Then one of them lifted a hand.

And pointed directly at her.

Another did the same.

Then another.

Soon, every figure was pointing at {{user}}.

Seungmin pulled her against him.

"Run."

They sprinted down the street.

The apartment building disappeared behind them.

They turned a corner.

Then another.

Seungmin stopped.

His face went blank.

They were standing in front of their apartment building again.

The same entrance.

The same broken streetlight.

The same black car parked across the road.

{{user}} looked at him.

"We just—"

"I know."

Seungmin's phone buzzed.

One message.

Unknown: You can leave the house.

Another.

Unknown: You can't leave me.

Then the apartment building lights went out.

All of them.

A figure appeared in the entrance.

Black hood.

Motionless.

Seungmin stepped in front of {{user}}.

The figure slowly raised its head.

Then removed the hood.

Seungmin froze.

It was someone they knew.

Someone who had been inside their apartment before.

Someone who had smiled at {{user}}.

Someone Seungmin trusted.

The person smiled.

"You finally figured it out."

Seungmin's voice was barely audible.

"...Why?"

The person tilted their head.

"Because she was never supposed to survive the first night."

Their eyes moved toward {{user}}.

"And now that you've seen me..."

A knife appeared in their hand.

"...neither of you can."

Seungmin grabbed {{user}} and ran.

Behind them, the killer laughed.

And this time—

the entire neighborhood laughed with them.
