Are there really ghosts and the supernatural? (Starter)
 
It was already dark. The rain drummed against the window and in the 
distance silent lightning bolts lit up here and there the sky.Deep in thought, Young sat at his desk staring at a blank sheet of 
paper. His thoughts were confused. A chill ran down his spine as he 
tried to remember.
 Another flash of lightning flashed across the sky and this time also lit
 up the room in gleaming white. This was followed by a loud clap of 
thunder. Young winced and turned around, startled.
 
 His bed was behind him. San was already fast asleep. He had to smile for
 a moment when he saw him like this. San looked so carefree and relaxed.
 Even in his sleep he smiled and sent out a comfortable calm. Actually 
he was like that. Or rather he was until a week ago. He thought he had 
seen something after a concert, but to this day he couldn't explain what
 it actually was. Young wanted to remember and yet his brain tried to 
block the memory.
 
 Instead of lying down with San and trying to get some sleep, which was 
also days ago, he went into the living room. There he sat down on the 
couch and started staring out the window again.
 Lightning flashed faster and brighter across the sky. The thunder was 
getting louder too. Until, the rumble became a loud growl of a monster.
 Young flinched again, this time the memory snapping back.
 
 It was now about a week ago. Ateez had just successfully completed a 
sold out concert. Everyone was exhausted and equally euphoric. It was 
already dark when the boys walked to their bus. Even then, Young noticed
 something. Something was moving in the darkness and it looked like 
wafts of fog were forming. He quickly dismissed it as a pipe dream. 
Together they got on the bus. In the beginning they were still joking 
around but little by little the boys got tired. Young was the last one 
left awake. More or less. He yawned and felt San's head fall against his
 shoulder.
 
 He was about to close his eyes when something caught his attention out 
of the corner of his eye. There he was again, that misty shape in the 
dark. But how could that be? They were on a moving bus and it didn't 
look like fog was really gathering. Young closed his burning eyes and 
turned a bit to San. Carefully he snuggled up to him.
 An oppressive feeling came over him. His heart was racing and his hands 
were bathed in cold sweat. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to watch a horror
 movie before the concert.
 
 Then he fell asleep. But only for a brief moment, it wasn't even 30 
minutes. He looked around sleepily. The rest of the boys were still 
asleep and the bus was still driving. They still hadn't arrived at their
 dorm. But it probably wouldn't be long. To see where they were, he 
looked out the window again. He knew the area.
 
 Relieved, he took a deep breath and let it out with a slightly hidden 
sigh. But the relaxation that was about to spread through his body came 
to an end. Because again these wafts of fog appeared right next to the 
bus. And this time it wasn't just swathes. More and more a body formed 
and a pair of glowing eyes.
 
 The blood froze in his veins for a moment as the outlines became 
clearer. Young wanted to wake San but he couldn't move for fear. That 
wasn't real. That couldn't be real. His mind was definitely playing 
tricks on him, he tried to convince himself.
 This thing had human traits. When it realized that Young was paying 
attention to it, this creature made a direct swerve towards the bus. 
There was a brief rumble as if something had hit the side, and from the 
front a curse could be heard from the driver. This light blow woke up 
the others and asked sleepily if they were already there. From the 
front, the voice of the driver sounded again that it would only take 20 
minutes.
 Young tried to calm down and held San's hand tighter. He just wanted this trip to be over.
 
 After 20 minutes of hidden panic and 7 hyperactive bandmates, the ride 
finally came to an end. He got off the bus as quickly as possible. He 
breathed in and out the cool night air a few times until he felt calmer.
 Now he had an explanation ready. The stress, the tiredness, hunger, 
insomnia and the horror movie. These were all the triggers for this 
thing he imagined. He laughed, yes it was just an illusion. There 
weren't any ghosts or anything like that. Then he felt San put his arm 
around him and pulled him with him.
 As they passed the bus, he stopped abruptly. Right where he saw it on 
the side of the bus was not just a deep dent, there were also deep 
scratches as if something had tried to rip open the bus. His face turned
 pale and he was glad that San just dragged him along.
 That was a week ago now. Since then he hadn't slept so well as at all. He also didn't want to leave their dorm.
 Were there ghosts and other unnatural beings? Or was he going crazy now.
 He urgently needed answers, but where could he find them?!
