Fake Boyfriend || A Taekook Fanfic - Chapter 52: Chapter 52

JUNGKOOK'S POV
After five hours or probably more than that, we finally reached the top of the hill and we started to set up our tents. Taehyung gave it a try, but the tent didn't seem to like him and refused to cooperate with him. In the end, he gave up and I had to go and set it up. The tent loved me and it perfectly settled down without even hitting me or causing me any trouble. You should have seen Tae's face that time. He was pretty much shocked and annoyed and he even went up to the tent and started to curse at it. Poor tent! It did nothing and yet it gets scolded by some random ass.
The day went by and the night came in. The bright and joyful forest now transformed into eerie darkness. Tae was pretty much scared of the forest, so he stuck by my side all the time. He even dragged me along to pee, but sadly he didn't let me see 'it'. You get it, right?
"The forest is so creepy. You are sleeping with me only," he hugged my arm and I smiled to myself. He is hugging my arm! Yay! And he asked me to sleep with him. Bonus!
The students and the teachers gathered around the fire, which they had lit in the middle of the camp site, and began to tell ghost stories. Most of the people trembled in fear as they thought about the ghosts and zombies that haunted these very forests and hills. A man told us a local story which was quite popular around here.
It was about this lady who used to look ugly and scary and she would always mourn and cry about her appearance. One day she stumbled over a book in the town's library and it talked about how to become beautiful. It was about some kind of a ritual you had to do every first day of the month. After a month, the spell disappears and the person will lose her beauty. So she used to do that ritual every month and in exchange she looked really pretty. She continued to do this for many years and one day she met this handsome man and fell in love with him.
The man too, fell in love with her beauty, but he never knew the secret behind it. So they got married and lived in a cottage which was situated somewhere in this very hill. The man never knew about his wife's rituals. But one day, he started to suspect her. He noticed that she disappeared off to nowhere on the first day of every month, so he decided to follow her. The next month on the first day, he followed her and he saw her doing the rituals.
He finally saw her ugly face and he screamed with fright. The lady tried to explain to him, but he wasn't ready to listen to her. He started to call her a witch and a sorceress and in anger, she killed him with a knife. She later mourned his death and soon, she too died from starvation. They say her body is buried under the pond and it is marked by a huge rock. The pond was situated a little bit far from our camp site and they say that every night, her soul comes around and looks for handsome people and kills them.
That story shook everyone except for me and some smart people. Like come on, ghosts? Who the heck believes them? Dumb people like Taehyung do. For the next two hours, he cried over the fact that he was handsome.
"Why am I so handsome? Ugh! Now the lady will kill me, Jungkook," he cried onto my shoulder and I patted him.
"It's fine," I tried to console him, "Even I am pretty much handsome so even that lady might come after me."
"Why the heck do you think she will come after you?" he asked me, "You don't look handsome at all." Knew it! This fricking dumb guy will say something stupid like that.
"I am pretty sure someone yelled to the entire world that Jeon Jungkook is way handsome than—" he suddenly shut my mouth with his hand and he glared at me. Oops! I was supposed to forget it, right?
"Th-That time my m-mind was working well," he said and I could clearly see that he was pretty much lying, "But I am way more handsome than you and chances of me dying is a one hundred percent."
"Don't worry," I removed his hand from my mouth and pulled him to me, "I will protect you."
"Really?" he asked and I saw his eyes twinkle with joy.
"Yep," I said and he grinned.
"Then when the ghost lady comes sacrifice yourself instead of me, okay?" he smiled at me and ran to the tent. Why does he want me to die so badly?

TAEHYUNG'S POV
It has been an hour, forty five minutes and thirty seconds since the fire has been put out and all the people have gone to sleep. It was two people in a tent and Jungkook was my partner. He was sleeping peacefully while I held a torch in one hand and my shoe in another.
Suddenly I heard some noise and I realized it was Jungkook who had turned towards my side and was softly snoring. Fricking idiot! He scared me to death. He looked so peaceful while he was sleeping. To be honest, he didn't look like a pervert at all. He looked like a sweet, cutie boy who just wanted hugs and kisses and affection. Damn cute! He even pouts when he is sleeping. My heart! It is—
Suddenly I heard a moan coming from and outside and I froze. Is it the ghost? I slowly hid under my covers and slightly peeked from above. The ghost is here. Looks like Jungkook didn't hear it at all. Didn't he tell me he will protect me from that ghost?
"Taaee...hyuuung" I heard someone whispering my name. It knows me! It wants me! ME!!? I knew it was a curse being so handsome. I should have never been born this handsome. Why? Oh why am I so handsome?
"Taehyung is my chocolate." Huh? I am the ghost's chocolate. Wait, it is not—
"Taehyung...I want you." I turned towards my right to see Jungkook who was sleeping still. Is he—
"Taehyung," he whispered and my blood boiled with anger. This fricking bastard! I took my shoe and whacked his head three times. He groaned in pain and immediately got up.
"I am up! I am up! What is the emergency? Did the ghost come to eat you?" he slowly opened his eyes and I again whacked my shoe on his head and he glared at me, "The heck is wrong with you, idiot!?"
"I should ask you that," I said to him, "You were legit whispering my name like a fricking possessed asshole."
"I was?" he asked me and I nodded, "I see. Wow!" Wow? What the heck is so 'wow' in that? I whacked him again with my shoe and he snatched it away.
"Stop whacking me for no good reason!" he yelled at me.
"Then stop acting like you are dumb," I replied back and we both glared at each other. Suddenly I heard someone moan loudly from outside.
"Jungkook are you the one doing that noise?" I said to him and he slapped his forehead.
"I am right next to you, you idiot. It was coming from outside."
"Then, th-th-th-th-the gh-gh-ghost is real?" I asked him and he sighed.
"No it—"
Suddenly we heard someone screaming and I jumped onto Jungkook's lap. The ghost...it screamed! I looked at Jungkook who was pretty much calm. Why is he not scared?
"You heard that?" he asked me and I nodded. He took the torch from my hand and switched it on.
"What are you doing?" I hissed at him as he pushed me away and got up.
"Going out," he said and my eyes widened with fear. He is going out with the ghost? I mean, he is going out? Is he fricking insane? I grabbed his hand and pulled him back.
"Don't go, idiot!" I half-yelled and half-whispered to him, "Or else you will die and I won't be able to pass my exams." He yanked his hand away from my grip and shone the torch at my face.
"Stay here, that's all. I will just go and—"
"Don't leave me!" I cried out and pulled the hem of his tee shirt. He looked at me and he sighed.
"Then stick with me, okay?" he whispered to me and I nodded. We both got out and we looked around. There was no one outside. The night sky was covered with clouds and it blocked out the stars which were supposed to be highlights of the night. Everyone were peacefully sleeping in their cozy tents while we were out here catching a ghost.
Suddenly we heard someone crying and the noise was coming from our right. I held onto Jungkook's arm as he shone the torch to the place where the noise came from. There was nobody there. Phew! I thought that—
Suddenly something zipped right behind us and we both jumped in fright. When we turned around, there was nobody behind us.
"W-W-W-W-W-WHAT WAS THAT?" I clung onto Jungkook's arm.
"Must be that bear which we saw in the morning. Come on," he took my hand and I slowly followed him into the forests. Hold on...how can a bear run as fast as a cheetah? It is not a bear then! Wait...this direction...this lead to the pond!
"Ju-Jungk-kook let's head back," I pulled at his sleeves, but he ignored me, "Jungkook! That is the direction to the pond."
"So?"
"Didn't you hear what that man said?"
"It is fake Taehyung," he said and I pulled harder, "Tae stop it."
"I don't want to die," I cried out and I hugged him all of a sudden. Death is one thing I can't stand and having to die in the hands of a ghost...THAT IS JUST WEIRD!
"I won't let you die," he whispered into my ears and he hugged me back, "Let's go now."
I nodded and we made our way to the pond. The pond had a huge rock in the middle of it and since it was really dark and cloudy, the pond's water looked pitch black. Suddenly we heard leaves rustling and we looked in all directions. We could hear the sound of someone crying and moaning, but the noises were coming from all the direction.
"This is getting annoying," Jungkook said as he shone the torch back to the pond. Suddenly a lady appeared on top of the rock whose long hair covered her face. She was wearing a dirty white dress which had dark spots all over it and it looked like it was splotches of blood.
"AHHHHHHHHHH! GHOST! IT IS A GHOST! A GHOST! A FRICKING GHOST!" I yelled and jumped on Jungkook who just raised his eyebrows at the ghost lady.
"She is short," he said and I glared at him. Was he trying to piss her off? "So it has to be Jimin."
"Stop insulting her, you idiot," I barked at me, "And it is not Jimin. IT IS AN ACTUAL GHOST!"
"Ha...nd...so...me," it whispered and my teeth started to chatter and I got goosebumps all over my body. She called me handsome! Waah! I am going to die. But it was confirmed that I was handsome or did she mean Jungkook?
"Oy!" Jungkook yelled at it, "Are you Yoongi?"
"What the heck?" I yelled at him and he whacked my head.
"Don't interrupt." I thought you finished asking her the question.
"I...want...him," she pointed her dirty index finger at me and I froze in fear.
That's it. I am dead, he is dead, you are dead, everyone is dead. Might as well go and pack up my suitcase and go to heaven. I will be seeing all my smart ancestors and then when they ask me my marks...I will probably die again.
"Hands off...whoever you are! This guy is mine," Jungkook said and he wrapped an arm around my waist. Excuse me? I am neither of yours. I belong to Zeref. And she is not 'whoever you are', she is a ghost? Can't you get it? A ghost!
"Hands...off! My...boy," she whispered-yelled at him and I gulped. This is second time I am in a mess because of my handsomeness. She called me her boy. I don't want to get married to a ghost! Wait, she is going to kill me, right? I don't want to die!
"Sorry lady. But this guy is mine and mine only. Want me to prove it?" he said and he started to lean closer to my face. Wait...was he going to...?
Suddenly a dirty, bloodied and a bony hand came in front of our faces and we yelled at the top of our voices. We jerked back and fell on the ground.
I sat up and suddenly the lady jumped on me and I screamed, "JUNGKOOK! HELP!"
"Pretty," she murmured and she traced my jawline with her middle finger. Is she going to kill me now? But where is the knife? Oh, her nails are her knives because they are so fricking long and they even look sharp, "You be my husband."
"Husband?" I said and I tilted my head in confusion. Wasn't she supposed to kill me?
"HUSBAND?" I heard Jungkook yell and the ghost lady turned behind and glared at him.
"You my husband," she pointed to me and I, for no reason, nodded. She then pointed at Jungkook, "He...die."
Wait, Jungkook will die and I have to get married to her? THAT IS JUST...okay, I guess. At least I won't die. Yippee! Thanks for saving me Jung—
Suddenly the ghost jumped off of me and a shoe smacked my face and I fell down. The heck?! I took the shoe and got up to see Jungkook who was missing a shoe.
"WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR PROBLEM, PERVERT?" I yelled at him.
"I was aiming at her," he replied back.
"DO YOU THINK YOU CAN KILL A GHOST WITH A SHOE?"
"That is not a ghost. It is someone from our camp."
"It is a ghost."
"Not."
"Yes."
"Nope."
"I stan ghosts."
"Me anti."
"ARGH!" we turned to the growling ghost or human, I don't know who. She pounced at Jungkook and he kicked her in the abdomen and she went flying off and landed on the rock in the pond.
"You...You...YOU KICKED HER?!" I yelled at him and he sighed.
"So what?"
"HOW CAN YOU KICK A GHOST?"
"Just like kicking a football," he flipped his hair and I face-palmed myself. Who the heck is this guy?
"Hey Tae!" Jungkook said, "Do you have your phone?"
"Why? You want a selfie with the ghost?" I asked him and he simply laughed.
"Yeah. That and...wait, you didn't take a video of me kicking the ghost?"
"Nope."
"WHAT? Now how the hell am I going to tell everyone that I kicked a ghost?" he whined.
"How can you kick a ghost?" I asked him, "Aren't ghosts supposed to be...you know...body-less?"
"Yeah, you are right," Jungkook said as he retrieved the torch from the ground which he had dropped, "Then she must be a zombie."
"Zombie?"
"Yeah. Half-dead and half-alive."
"That's we—"
"JUNGKOOK! TAEHYUNG! WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING HERE?" we turned to the large number of flashlights shining on us. It was the teachers.
"Uhmm...we were fighting with a gh—"
"We believe that someone from our camp was acting as a ghost here," he interrupted me and I frowned at him, "So we went to check it out."
"But I am pretty sure that everyone is in their tents," the teacher said and she crossed her arms in front of her chest, "I took a roll call after a girl said that she had heard someone scream and from the roll call I took, you two were the only ones missing."
"But we did see someone. See she is right over—huh?" I pointed to the rock and saw nobody on it. Where did she go? I looked over at Jungkook and he was also surprised.
"Okay, where is she?" the teacher asked us and we just blankly stared at her. She sighed and said, "Last warning to both of you. Any pranks from now on and both of you will not be allowed to go for any trips or participate in any activities. You got it?"
We both nodded and headed back to our tent. We tried to sleep, but who can sleep when they got to know that they saw an actual live ghost and even kicked them?
Hold up...if the teacher hadn't come on time, then Jungkook would have died and I would have been married off to a ghost? WHAT THE HECK?!
