the only sound that could be heard throughout the house was sizzling as Beomgyu made some popcorn.

he was currently waiting for his boyfriend to turn up since they decided to have a movie night together.

just as the popcorn was almost finished, his phone started ringing. it was an unknown number.

he stared at the number for a few seconds before answering it and holding the phone up to his ear.

"hello? who is this?

"it's me, Gyu, don't you recognise my voice?"

Beomgyu soon realised that it was his boyfriend, Taehyun, on the phone. he smiled after realising.

but why did his number show up as unknown?

"oh hey, where are you? you was supposed to be here like-"

he looked over at the clock in the corner of the kitchen and leaned back on the counter.

"-five minutes ago"

the phone line went dead silent for a few seconds.

"do you like scary movies?"

Beomgyu laughed slightly, why did his boyfriend talk so weirdly all of a sudden.

"of course i like scary movies, Tae, we're literally watching some tonight. are you late? is that why you called me"

another few seconds of complete silence.

"oh.. he was here"

the voice shifted from his boyfriends bright voice to something so eerie.

"what's your favourite scary movie, Beomgyu"

the boy froze in place. he had seen the various Scream movies where people had gotten phone calls exactly like this.. but it didn't end up too well for them.

"this isn't funny, Taehyun"

"i'm not your beloved boyfriend, maybe you should.. look for him"

the voice sounded completely monotonous, which scared Beomgyu even more.

"look for him? listen-"

"ah, ah, ah.. i wouldn't talk back if i was you. i've got your little boyfriend here with me. any wrong move from you and he's dead"

the voice seemed to get darker towards the end of his sentence.

Beomgyu's eyes were tearing up as he continued to think back to all the movies, how almost everyone who received a phone call had died.

"my boyfriend is strong enough to break your bones so i wouldn't fuck with him if i were you"

"fuck with him like you was going to do tonight? i bet you'd sound so good under-"

"fuck you!"

Beomgyu screamed over the phone, having enough of this conversation and just wanting to see his boyfriend again.

during the whole conversation, Beomgyu had gone around the house and locked all of the doors before making his way back into the kitchen.

"let's play a game"

"why would i play a game with you, you sick mother-"

"ah, remember, disrespect me too much and it's bye bye boyfriend"

Beomgyu finally let a tear fall from his eye as he backed himself into the corner of his kitchen and held a kitchen knife tightly in his hand.

"what kind of game?"

"i ask you a couple questions. if you get them all right, Taehyun gets to live"

"all of them?"

"all of them. our theme is.. hm.. Scream movie trivia. if you call the police, he dies. if you get an answer wrong, he dies"

Beomgyu was terrified of losing his boyfriend right now, but he couldn't show it to the person on the other side of the phone.

"i know those movies like the back of my hand, try me"

"first question. in the first movie, who was introduced as the main character?"

"Sidney Prescott! come on, give me a harder one"

"alright, that was a test question. anyone could have gotten that right"

"test? but i got it right it should count-"

"next question. who is the original author of the book which the stab movies were based on?"

Beomgyu's whole body froze for a moment. why was now the time his mind decided to forget everything he knows about the movies.

"time is ticking.."

he closed his eyes tightly as another tear fell.

"three. two-"

"Gale Weathers! Gale! she was also the news reporter!"

"oh well done, thought you was going to crack under the pressure there. maybe pretty boy gets to live another day"

"question three-"

"i already got two questions right there shouldn't be any more-"

"question three! who is the dumb bitch at the beginning of Scream one who answers the phone and gets carved up by the killers"

"fuck you"

Beomgyu's voice was now shaking as he searched all throughout his mind for the name of the character.

"is that your final answer?"

"not answering counts as a wrong answer, Beomgyu. time is running out-"

"it was Casey Becker! now where is Taehyun you fucker"

"oh but, there's still one more question, Gyu"

the way the killer said his nickname over the phone gave him chills. only Taehyun could call him that.

"final question. who was the killer in Scream two"

"oh i know this one! it was Mickey Altieri! i got it right!"

"i'm so sorry Beomgyu, but you were wrong"

"what-"

"there were TWO killers in Scream two. Mickey Altieri and Nancy Loomis, Billy Loomis's mother"

"i'm afraid your precious Taehyun is gonna have to die now"

as if time had slowed down, Beomgyu could hear muffled screams coming from the basement.

he hung up the phone in a panic and ran towards the basement door, still holding the kitchen knife.

he threw the door open, only to be met face to face with the killer, who was wearing the infamous ghostface costume.

the killer slashed his knife across Beomgyu's stomach and he fell back with a cry.

with all the strength he could muster, Beomgyu threw a punch towards the killer and he stumbled backwards, almost falling down the basement stairs.

Beomgyu immediately slammed the basement door shut and locked it before running towards the front door.

he was sure he'd be able to get the attention of a neighbour and have them call the police. but he didn't make it far.

as soon as he opened the front door, another ghostface jumped on top of him and stabbed their knife into his stomach, luckily missing any vital organs.

he screamed as the knife was pulled out and stabbed back into the same spot.

"please! please stop!"

tears were flowing down his face as he continually got stabbed by the ghostface on top of him.

right when he thought he was going to die, a loud gunshot was heard and the killer on top of him fell backwards, a small bullet hole was seen right in the forehead of his mask.

Beomgyu held onto his stomach while breathing uncontrollably. choking out a sob every few seconds.

"hey, everything's going to be okay"

as Beomgyu looked up and tried to focus his eyes through the tears, he could make out a police officer leaning over him, trying to put pressure over his stab wounds.

he tried his best to calm down but as soon as the officer stood up to call for backup, the first ghostface appeared out of nowhere and stabbed him in the face.

another loud cry left Beomgyu's lips as he watched his only form of help fall to the floor. dead.

his eyes grew wide as he saw the ghostface turn to him and tilt his head before slowly walking closer, his large boots making loud steps each time he moved.

Beomgyu was now trying to hold onto his stomach while also focusing on the person in front of him. if they could even be considered a human being.

"ah, i always told you how i wanted to recreate the Scream movies, didn't i?"

his face grew from one of pain to one of confusion.. then to one of horror.

"you.."

"me"

the killer taunted as he reached for the bottom of his mask to pull it up. and as he pulled it off, all Beomgyu wanted to do was scream and cry.

"why.. Tae.."

Beomgyu was losing blood, and fast. it didn't help that his Boyfriend was stood in front of him with the most evil smile he had ever seen.

"this could've been you and me. two ghostfaces together, and in love! but no, you just laughed it off every time i mentioned the idea"

"i thought you was joking-"

"does it look like i'm joking now?"

Taehyun crouched down in front of Beomgyu and wiped the tears from his dying boyfriends face.

"one thing you should know about slasher movies, Gyu.."

"..never trust the love interest"

i watched the new screamVI on monday and LET ME TELL YOU it was so good. really made me get back into my whole scream phase and got me inspired to write a small oneshot about it! i included lines and parts of scenes from both the first scream movie and scream 5 which came out last year. although the whole plot of the killer reveal is one i came up with myself. genuinely so proud of this little story i wrote. i was considering whether to split this into two parts but the second part would have been way shorter than the first, so i fit it all into one! if you like this kind of story let me know and maybe i can write more of the scream/slasher kind of stories! the one before this is kind of similar, and if you couldn't tell already, i love horror :)
