Venting... Amirite?
Kim Taehyung's P.O.V
With his eyes wide and his breathing shallow, he pulled his legs closer to make his body seem smaller in size so that he wouldn't be found.
The cold and rusted metal only made him feel more constricted. To him, his breathing sounded louder than someone repeatedly tearing paper. He was sure the creature would find him in no time because of the ruckus.
Taehyung bit his lip to keep himself from screaming when he heard the creature's footsteps just outside the metal box he was hiding in.
It's sudden low growl made Taehyung's heart clench painfully. He remembered how he had ended up in the steel box and it made tears prick his eyes as he snapped them shut. He wasn't going to get out alive...was he...
-------
Taehyung gripped the blood-covered machete in his hands when he turned the corner, expecting to see another deceased one. He stopped in his tracks, his hands fell to his sides and his face contorted into pure fear when his eyes landed on the large creature, it turned its head slowly, a sinister grin creeping onto its face as it watched Taehyung lose the air in his lungs.
It's mouth was smeared with blood and its hands held chunks of flesh which made said boy's stomach flip awkwardly. It reeked of putrid meat which Taehyung's nose wouldn't be able to handle if he stayed any longer, something he definitely wasn't planning on doing.
He stepped backwards to create some distance between him and the creature, this only made its grin widen at Taehyung's attempt.
Taehyung whimpered before sprinting in the direction he came from, his legs carried him hastily as he desperately tried to get away from the monstrosity. He noted that it was too big and heavy to run after him, instead, it walked with loud and thudding like steps, almost as if it were dragging itself across the floor.
Taehyung's breathing quickened as he turned every corner to shake the beast off his tail. He spotted a large steel oven down the kitchen aisle. He then hurriedly stuffed himself inside and shut the lid, thanking god the lid was tinted.
-------------
Beads of sweat raced down Taehyung's forehead as his shaking hands cupped his mouth in an attempt to keep quiet. Taehyung's eyes were fixated on the tinted lid glaring into the darkness. It was a pitch-black abyss, staring back at him, making him feel suffocated.
Absolute silence surrounded him, his breathing had slowed a certain amount, barely calming his frightened state.
How long would he have to stay in the steel trap waiting for help? Would anyone even show up to save him? Either he was left behind or everyone had horribly perished by the meaty, blood coated hands of the creature.
That thought alone brought another wave of heavy tears to his eyes.
'No...no that is not how our lives were supposed to fucking end...I'm not going to let that happen..'
He dried his face on his shoulder and began to think of ways to escape. He'd rather go down with a fight than being helpless dead weight.
Even if there was no other alternative he still had that one option of leaving the oven in hopes of the creature not seeing him.
As he shifted inside the oven quietly, his arm grazed a loose screw that was jutting out from the side.
'What the fuck?...'
In the darkness of the oven, his hands felt around to seize the screw. If there were multiple going along the boundary of the square, he could unscrew them and remove the steel plating and hopefully crawl into a vent. Assuming the machine was connected to the wall for electricity.
'Bingo'
He tugged the small piece out and proceeded to remove the others. Taehyung turned onto his hip and reached for the last screw which seemed to be lodged in tighter than the rest.
"FUCKING SHIT" he winced when his machete came into contact with the steel to his side creating a rather loud scraping effect.
His bleeding fingers desperately clawed at the last screw as they kept slipping. The creature's footsteps sounded from behind Taehyung, inching closer at the noise he was making.
Taehyung whimpered slightly when he finally pulled out the screw, hurriedly removing the plating as he crawled into the new compartment, shutting it behind him after.

Kim Namjoon P.O.V
"JuNgKoOk! Shit! I know that one was definitely on purpose!" Jimin hissed when Jungkook not so 'accidentally' stepped on the olde's foot. They had been going at it for the past hour and yet none of them seemed the least bit tired. Maybe it was the adrenaline that kept them alert, Namjoon couldn't pinpoint.
He guided the duo past the racks as he paid no mind to their useless bickering.
'Where are you...' he thought, wishing to see his two beloved significant others.
"Stop!...shush goddamnit...you guys hear that?.." Jungkook asked, stopping in his tracks, as he held his hand to his mouth with the 'stay quiet' signal.
A slow thudding was heard a few feet from the shelves ahead of them. Jungkook gripped Namjoons arm, pulling him backwards. He watched Jimin reach for his revolver, pulling it out of the holster as Jungkook followed his movements.
Namjoon looked back from Jungkook to what was ahead of them, something told him they were being hunted.....
Jimin looked at him, his eyes pleading the older to turn back. The slow thuds were getting louder as it neared them, giving the boy no other choice.
'RUN' this thought guided him as he nodded hastily, making Jimin sigh in relief, he then grabbed both boys and took off down another aisle, hoping that whatever was stalking them...wouldn't follow.
-----------
"Where is it? Is it gone??" Jungkook asked, looking over Namjoon's shoulder.
"I don't know...I can't see...plus we don't even know what it looks like so we wouldn't know either way" He answered as his eyes peeped through the slit in the door. They were currently hiding out in a storeroom of some sort, it was cramped but they had to make do with the current situation at hand.
"I'll make it easier for you, if it's pale, covered in blood, got missing bodily appendages then it's pretty clear that it's a red flag! JESUS NAMJOON" Jimin's sarcastic remarks only seemed to make the atmosphere even tenser.
Jungkook nudged the boy in the ribs, scowling as he did. Jimin rolled his eyes, knowing the younger couldn't see the act since the room was partially dark.
"Jimin if you could get that attitude out of here and stop being such a brat then MAYBE, I will consider not shoving you out this goddamn room" Namjoon growled at the younger boy, he would turn around to glare at him but the restricting walls told him otherwise. Jimin grew silent.
"I know...I'm sorry...I'm just really worried and I hate feeling like this..."
"Like what?.." asked Jungkook, his eyes softening when he noticed Jimin's anxious state.
"Helpless...I felt the same back when we were stuck in that alley...it kicks me in the stomach telling me I'm just useless and that I'm just good for absolutely nothing...We're here hiding while the others are probably fighting for their lives...I know there's a reason we're hiding in here but I just can't help but feel like that sometimes.."
"Jimin..." Namjoon interrupted himself when he heard a questionable noise. The sound of shuffling and soft thuds filled the small room, making the boys look around trying to identify the source.
"Let's talk about this later, ok?... This isn't the best environment.." Jimin nodded at Jungkook's words.
"It's coming from that..." Jimin froze when Namjoon pointed behind him. He turned his head around slowly and flinched when he noticed the large vent.
"When did that get there??" Jungkook's expression screamed confusion.
"Its been there the entire time...we just missed it that's all.."
"Joon....something's in there..." His eyes never left the vent as he stepped back to grab onto the older male.
The noise was getting louder and louder as it neared the entrance to the vent.
"Get back...stay back...Kook, hide behind that box, Jimin go with him, I'll hide behind the door.."
