Among the surprised gasps of the boys, somebody couldn’t help but scream like a girl.
“Stop screaming, Kiseop!” Soohyun ordered in the darkness.
“ That wasn’t me!” Kiseop shouted back.
“ Uh… sorry.” Kevin said in embarrassment.
The lights briefly flickered overhead before finally coming back on.
For a long moment after, the boys stared up at the ceiling, including Dongho who finally a good reason to neglect his knitting.
“ What was that about?” asked Eli, inching his way closer to the others.
As Hoon anxiously shifted from one foot to another, he noticed something strange about Kiseop. “What’s that?” He pointed to Kiseop’s right cheek, where a blood red lip stick stain resided.
The others instantly gathered around him to inspect it.
Laughing, Eli slapped his hand firmly against Kiseop’s back. “Kiseop, how many times do we have to tell you to stop bringing your girlfriend along to video shoots?” He joked.
“ What are you talking about?” asked Kiseop.
“ That lip stick stain on your cheek,” AJ smiled. “ Don’t tell us it just appeared there magically.”
“ Lip stick?” Kiseop swiftly wiped his hand over his cheek. The red residue of the lip stick stained his finger tips. “ What the—When did that get there!?” He exclaimed.
“ You tell us.” Said Hoon, as he skeptically crossed his arms. “ Or maybe we should ask your makeup artist. She’s probably the one who put it there.”
“Eww!” Kevin wrinkled his nose in disgust. “ That’s gross, Kiseop! Your make up artist is like forty years old!”
“ Kiseop got kissed by an ahjumma!” Dongho chanted.
“ No I didn’t!” Kiseop roared in defense. “ I think I would have noticed if I was. Which I wasn’t!”
“ Unless you were kissed by a ghost.” AJ suggested. “ In which case, you would have never noticed.”
“Ghosts wear lip stick?” Hoon inquired. The mental imagine obviously had him puzzled.
“ Can we please stop talking about ghosts!” Kevin begged. “ This situation is scary enough as it is.”
“ You’re telling me! We have a Kiseop kisser on the loose!” Eli giggled.
“ He was talking about being locked in with no way out.” Soohyun corrected him.
“ Speaking of a way out, did anyone else notice that obvious hatch on the floor?” Casually Dongho pointed out the wooden hatch just beneath the boys feet. Judging by their confused faces, Dongho figured they didn’t have a clue.

“ Gentlemen,” Soohyun smirked, “ …I think we just found our way out.”

Notes

FUN FACT: Koreans have LOADS of superstitions, many of them surrounding the idea of ghosts, which they call “gwishin” (귀신).

Maybe it's because of this that so many Kpop band members seem to be seriously afraid of ghost, even entering (fun) haunted houses. >< lol
