It was already late at night, and we were at the Komorebi cafe, which was a small place with mirrors on its walls. Besides having four windows, it had an exit door where I could hear the patters of the soul-stirring rain.
I looked around the room as a song of Sonya Soundstrong played in the background. Bomyu was holding his phone camera towards me, and he was staring into the screen like he was filming the Komorebi cafe. Then he turned the camera to me, and a grin appeared on his face. I smiled back at the camera.
Beside Bomyu, Seanyung was sitting, with his phone in his hands and black headphones on his head. He looked like he was listening to some other music. Seanyung turned his face to me when he noticed that I was looking.
On the left side of me, Paikek was taking a sip from a cup of coffee he got from the cafe. He was smiling broadly, as he enjoyed his coffee which was in a blue cup. The smell of the cocoa brown coffee reached my nose, making me feel more awake and alarmed.
At the same time, Bomyu continued to film me while he was strangely grinning. I tried to not look at his phone camera directly.
Anyways, I was happy as the Komorebi cafe was our favourite place to hang out, and it was great to meet there once again.
When I turned my face away from Bomyu's phone, I noticed that a window was open, and it felt like someone was watching me from outside. Therefore, I hurriedly got up to close the window. The window was cold when I put my hand on it. And then, I slowly closed it, leaving my fingerprint marks on the window.
Once again, I looked around, and there was nobody in the Komorebi cafe but me and my friends; the cafe was closed because it was midnight. But we were still there.
As soon as the window is shut, I turned my back and noticed that the white door on the other side of the Komorebi cafe had some kind of fog on it. As if someone outside was breathing on the window of the door.
Unexpectedly, an unusual shadow-like figure moved intensely fast outside the window.
I slowly stepped towards the door, which was slightly open. My every step was unhurried and cautious as I was frightened.
Subsequently, I pulled the door handle, opening the white door. There was a dark empty hallway behind it, and it was cold, cold enough to make me shiver.
For the next few seconds, I kept my eye on the gate on the other end of the dark hallway. The light bulb was slowly twinkling a little light, making the corridor dim.
Instantly, the door on the other end opened and closed in a flash, even though nobody was doing it. My eyes widened, and my legs began shaking as I kept on thinking how the gate got opened.
I felt like there was somebody behind it. But, I was too scared of checking it.
All of a sudden, a loud alarm went off, and the lights of the Komorebi cafe started flashing continuously when the building began to tremble magnificently. And, it became difficult to stand still while it was shaking.
Seanyung's pupils dilated as he stood up and looked around cautiously. Bomyu put his phone down, and he was shouting, trying to say something but the sound of the alarm was deafening so I couldn't hear what any my friends were saying.
On the other hand, Paikek covered his ears by his hands to block the noise. He seemed like the alarm sound was hurting him.
Besides the siren noise, strange screeches and roars became audible and louder as the milliseconds passed. Likewise, a train noise went louder as well as the other extraordinary noises.
