Loose Strains
Surrounded by stacks of papers and books. He is completely immersed in cramming every information he could, because he think procastination is the key to success, apparently it's not.
And so, head buried in a book, brain's on overdrive.

But his focused was completely shattered by a loud music blaring. It's his little brother again playing those metal songs. He couldn't understand why his brother so into it, he couldn't even understand what they are saying! Irritated and with a grunt he stand up, grumpily. Making sure that his steps is heavy and loud for his brother to get the message, he's mad.

Coming upon his brother's room, he rudely comes in directly. Knowing that his brother have a habit of leaving the door unlocked. He didn't see him, but he heard the water running in the bathroom and so he just walked straight to the audio speaker and unplugged it.

Feeling victorious and oddly satisfied, He quickly run out of the room because he heard the water stop running, so his brother is coming.

When he comes upon the door of his brother's room he froze. Hand stopping midway to the handle.

He remembers, that he's family is on vacation outside of the country and he couldn't come because of his exams.

The music has started playing again,
this time more louder, so loud that he's sure the machine doesn't have the capability to do that, but then it suddenly stops. The room is was filled with Eerie silence.

In his mind, several alarms resonance, raising several warnings, activating his fight and flight instincts. Surprisingly, there's a third option and that's what he did, Freeze.

His body begun sweating buckets and he heard a faint giggle and swears that a breath tickle the back of his ears. Feeling the adrenaline wakes his frozen body. He immediately run out of the room and the said building, not caring if his shrieking doesn't look near masculine.
