You might be in the room you die in.
- S

The next morning when they decided to leave the room, it wouldn't budge.

"Guys, this door won't open. We are trapped!"

Being the joker of the group, they didn't believe what Taehyung said, "For real guys, it's locked from the outside!"

Jungkook approached the front door, "Relax babe, it's most probably just-" he twist the door knob over and over again, "Shit, he's right. It's locked from the outside!"

"Look around, guys. The room... It's different" Hoseok said and each of them was observing around the room and spotted yet another envelope on the study desk which means to say one thing, the stranger entered their room when there were soundly asleep.

Before leaving, he most probably remove the deadbolt of the door so it won't unlock from the inside no matter how much they twist, in fact, it'll only tighten it.

The room had a peculiar feeling. At the corner of the room, there were four bags of food and bottled water. Only four. Hoseok decided to open up the envelope to read aloud to the rest of them.

Hello dorks, I want to play a game. You now know what color represent yourself so take the coloured sticky note which I've already labelled and do what is written on it. Fail to do so and you'll never get to leave this room. Oh, don't even bother trying to escape from the window, it's permanently locked from the outside. Want to leave the room and not die of hunger? Then you better do what I say. Have fun!

As hesitant and scared they were, each of them took the color appointed to them. One by one, their expression slowly change after reading the note.

"So.. Who will go first?" Taehyung asked.

"Oldest to youngest?" Jimin suggested.

Hoseok quickly rejected that idea, "No! Youngest to oldest" he looked pretty agitated as if he's hiding his biggest secret.

Jungkook on the other hand was in complete silence. Taehyung noticed it, "Hey pumpkin, everything okay?"

"No. Go away"

"But-"

"I said go away!"

Taehyung was a little pissed off so he snatched the sticky note away from Jungkook which stated...

Tell Taehyung that your time is limited.

"What the hell is this suppose to mean, babe?"

Jungkook who had his head down simply answered, "Nothing"

"Answer me, Jungkook"

"It's nothing, really"

"Goddammit. Answer me!" He raised his voice gaining the attention from the other couple who look troubled themselves.

Tears was already collecting in Jungkook's eyes. Taehyung was more than pissed off at this moment and confronted his lover one last time.

"Answer. Me. Now"

Jungkook stood up and shouted, tears rolling down his cheeks, "I have a deadly disease okay! If I don't go for surgery, I don't have much time left! Dammit, I'm dying okay!"

Taehyung was taken aback by Jungkook's words, "But why didn't-"

"Why didn't I tell you, Tae? Do you expect me to say to the love of my life 'Hey babe, I'm dying in a month's time' please man, use your brain for once"

"For once? Whatcha tryna say huh?"

"You've always been dumb anyway" Jungkook slipped that out, quickly covering his mouth after saying it.

"Okay that's it. I can't face you right now" Taehyung walked away from his lover, leaving him rooted to one side of the room.

While the other two decided to take some time off from each other, it was now time for the other couple to do so.

"What does yours say, babe?" Jimin nicely asked his lover.

"Babe?" He questioned again. Hoseok was staring blankly at the wall.

"You don't have to know, please. I don't want us to argue like the both of them"

"We won't"

"But-"

"Just say it already!" Now Jimin's blood was boiling. What could be so secretive anyway, right?

"I can't do this" Hoseok crush the paper into a ball, toss it away, his back facing the younger one. Jimin managed to catch it without the other one noticing, revealing what the note said..

Check Hoseok's phone.

Immediately, he went to the study desk and steal his lover's phone away. Hoseok was too slow to stop him by then.

"Babe please, don't!" He pleaded.

Jimin jaw dropped as he read the content.

Hey sexy, you dance great today. Can't wait to see you tomorrow.

Aww baby you're a great dancer yourself.

Are you still with that Jiminie boy? Just break up with him already and be with me, sexy.

Soon baby soon. Don't worry.

I love you, sexy.

I love you more, baby.

Jimin dropped Hoseok's phone on the floor. He bit his bottom lip but failed to held back his tears as his lips were now trembling, hands shaken.

"I never ever want to see your face again, Jung Hoseok"

"Please, I can explain!"

"Explain what?! It's clear proof you're cheating on me with some older bitch!" Jimin's blood was boiling way over the top, he didn't care whether he cussed or swear or whatever. This was just too much for him to handle.

"Jimin.. I love you" the younger one immediately slapped him hard in the face, leaving a mark on it.

"Aww honey, does it hurt?" Jimin sarcastically said, "I think the correct three words you should say is this" he leaned closer to Hoseok's ear to make sure he remembers these three words for the rest of his life.

"We. Are. Over"

Jimin proudly walked away from his ex lover to sit beside Taehyung, he's glad that he has his best friend around. No matter how strong he end it off with Hoseok, he couldn't help but to silently weep, leaning his head on his best friend's shoulder.

At this point of time, the room was echoed with sobs from each individual. No one said a word, no one had the mood to eat but mourn.

Another envelope slipped under the door. Jungkook was closest so he opened it up and read it with Hoseok, who was beside him.

Good job the two of you. Notice the packet of food at the corner of the room? It's noon and I'm sure you're hungry. You can each have it but no one leaves the room yet until the 95 liners have completed their 'tasks'. How does it feel to tell the truth, good isn't it? I'm SO SORRY for your loss. Sorry. Oops, NOT.

Jungkook tore the paper into half, not even thinking of having a bite to eat. Same goes for Hoseok. What kind of mockery is this? Who the bloody hell is this stranger? What does he want from us? Why does he love splitting us apart? All these questions were running in their heads.

It was now 3pm in the afternoon, the 95 liners still hasn't done what they were supposed to. Taehyung's hand was shaking badly, procrastinating on when he'll start doing what his note stated.

"Jimin. I guess it's now or never"

"Yeah you're right. Me too, Tae"

"We say it in the count of three?"

Jimin agreed so they started counting. 1, 2, 3!

"I had sex with your boyfriend before"

They quickly said in sync.

"YOU WHAT?!" Once again, they chorused.

"Whatever. It doesn't matter. Hoseok is not mine anymore. Somebody just had to CHEAT on me" Jimin raised his voice a little, emphasizing on the word cheat.

"But still-"

"Just shut up, you pabo. Im sure you hate me. Now leave me the heck alone" Jimin brushed past his best friend to look out the window.

Just then, Taehyung's phone rang. Everyone diverted their attention to it. He held his phone up high, revealing a call from a blocked ID. Jimin gave his best friend a reassuring nod, letting him know it's okay to answer the call and he did.

Taehyung remained silent. The only thing that pops out was an announcement, but not from the stranger. More like someone's introduction voice from some variety show.

Congratulations! All of you have completed your tasks! But wait, do you really think it's that simple? If you guys can get away with murder, you can find a way out this room. Time is ticking and none of you is eating. Goodluck!

The call automatically ended.

"This is bullshit. We have to find a way out. I don't wanna see that horse face anymore" at this rate, Jimin didn't care what he said. He was too emotionally hurt that the only feeling in his heart right now besides pain, is extreme hatred towards Hoseok.

The other two was still rooted to their spot. Well, Jungkook didn't do anything wrong but all these while he thought that his boyfriend wasn't trustworthy and that he's damn dumb. How could you expect Taehyung to accept that when all he does was take good care of Jungkook? It was just too much to absorb for now.

"Jimin. Looks like we need to call for backup, whether we trust them or not" Taehyung said sternly, trying to forget the thought that his best friend had sex with his precious pumpkin but heck, he couldn't care less about that for now.

His main concern is to get the hell outta here. On the other hand, Jimin couldn't help but to agree with that suggestion.

Stranger's POV

Sorry I'm busy plotting for my next disaster. What do you think? Was it interesting to see those lovebirds torn apart? Well, it is to me but damn, it's hard to separate the 95 liners. Their brotherhood is too strong but I'll find a way or maybe not. Its just a waste of my time.

Let's just see how long these dorks can survive without food or water. Hey, I'm kind enough to leave one packet for each of them but they were too stubborn or should I said, too emotional to eat or drink. Then again, just imagine living in a trapped room with the people you hate? It gets more infuriating don't you think? I wish them luck.

Like I said, no more mercy.

With hate,
Stranger
