[flufftober day 5, wc: 857] - scary campfire stories : ot5 le sserafim

THIS IMPROMPTU camping trip, though maybe not as impromptu as you thought because of course it’s because of leniverse, isn’t actually going as bad as you thought it would.

instead of camping inside the building like before, you’re actually outside, though at a camping facility. it’s quite nice, with a small archery range where you got your ass handed over by sakura and eunchae, a bay in which you and kazuha fell into while canoeing and then proceeded to flip over yunjin and chaewon’s canoe in retaliation (they splashed some water in your faces and you slipped while trying to fight back), a bonfire area, the cabins you’re staying in, and the forest you’re in right now where there’s another small campfire area in the woods. 

the atmosphere is quite eerie, pushing aside the numerous cameras and staff helping to film. it’s dark past the trees, it’s quiet, there’s crickets and a crescent moon up in the sky. you shiver. you’ve lost count of how many mosquito bites you’ve gotten, (which persist even with sakura’s shooing ritual which consisted of her singing that one red velvet song and waving her arm around) and also of how many times yunjin has sung cotton eye joe. it’s really pissing you off—both the mosquitos and the song.

the producer hands you a card since you’re in the center, and you clear your throat to read it. your group mates gaze at you intently. “welcome to the forest! let’s end the day off with some roasted marshmallows around the campfire… with a twist,” everyone groans after you announce that part, “to earn your sweet treats, please tell fearnots a scary story—popcorn style.”

yunjin is the starting person, which is unfortunate because you really have no idea what that girl is going to pull out of her ass… not that you can say that out loud right now, because the cameras are rolling, but it’s true. it’s not necessarily a bad thing—it’s just that the mood tends to get chaotic when you go off-script. the post-production editing makes it funnier, and what’s le sserafim if not chaotic?

according to the producer, your group has to come up with a story involving a few keywords, which (predictably) go as follows: kim chaewon, sakura, huh yunjin, y/n, kazuha, hong eunchae, and fearnot. it’s up to you and your members to decide how to use them, and the promised marshmallows will be rewarded when you have used all of the keywords by the end of the last person’s turn.

a staff member hands yunjin a small flashlight, and she laughs before putting on an ominous face and loudly clearing her throat, pointing the flashlight up towards her chin which lights up her features dramatically. “one day, the members of le sserafim members were having their weekly movie night when suddenly!” she gasps, the other members play along and gasp too, you included. “...kazuha heard a large thump.”

chaewon grabs onto your arm immediately, slightly scooting away from kazuha. the japanese girl’s jaw drops and she pulls the leader back to her. you smile in amusement. the next member is eunchae, who side-eyes the two girls having a mini-quarrel before she gets passed the flashlight. sakura bursts out into laughter at the youngest’s widened eyes highlighted by the flashlight.

“kazuha makes kim chaewon,” eunchae grins, “investigate in the kitchen with her, only to see that there’s a bloody towel on the floor, and then sakura runs in to say that someone is missing.”

that went dark fast. wow, eunchae. you blink when she hands sakura the flashlight. “what the heck, eunchae?” the youngest only giggles.

“who’s missing?” yunjin calls out, cupping her hands around her mouth even though she’s only three feet away from you.

“sakura comes to kazuha and chaewon, saying, ‘y/n is missing!’” she says quietly, passing the flashlight to you. 

you instantly lock your gaze onto the american. “and you know what else she says? ‘so is huh yunjin.’”

yunjin makes the most shocked and offended face you’ve seen in a while, and you absolutely cannot wait for this to air. 

chaewon is passed the flashlight, and completely blanks out until kazuha pokes her on the shoulder. “wait, wait. okay, i got it. kazuha, sakura, and chaewon go to the bathroom because that’s where… bloody red trails lead. scratchily engraved on the door is ‘help, fearnots!’”

finally, it’s kazuha’s turn. you wonder how she’ll incorporate eunchae’s name into the story. “kazuha opens the door to see…”

silence falls upon the group, everyone anticipating kazuha’s next words. there’s a rustling in the bushes that you have to ignore because you’re actually somewhat invested in this silly story. 

“hong eunchae and y/n dyeing yunjin’s hair red.”

“well, okay,” you mumble, intrigued by the closure of the story. eunchae shows off some of yunjin’s blue hair, claiming that it’s a crazy shade of red. sakura chuckles at the youngest’s antics.

you’re given the marshmallows and enjoy them only slightly charred, chatting with your fellow members until you realize that yunjin is literally missing. and eunchae. and was that a scream?

oh god. not another murder case.

flufftober masterlist!
