Jung Hoseoks's P.O.V

It had been a while since they heard those dreadful footsteps, Hoseok was hopeful that it had gone someplace else. He and Yoongi sat still as they listened for anything unusual.

"I think it's gone...we should get out of here before it figures something out...fuck..I wish we never came here.." Yoongi grimaced silently. Hoseok sighed knowingly and nodded in agreement.

"Ready?..." asked Yoongi as he tightened his grip around Hoseok's hand and his weapon.

He grunted in response, his eyes strained on the floor, contemplating whether or not this was the right decision.

They took off down the corridor of boxes, taking different turns as they escaped.

"We need to get to the first floor, there's a staircase on your right.." Hoseok whispered towards Yoongi.

The other male nodded and turned to the right, dragging Hoseok with him.

Hoseok reached for the handle on the door and pulled it open, he then pushed Yoongi in and closed the door behind him.

"Oh thank god....we made it.." he panted happily, sliding against the door and onto the ground.

"Yeah? Well it's not over yet...we've got to get the others...c'mon...move your ass" Yoongi smirked and made his way down the stairs, Hoseok followed as he whined in frustration.

--------------

"Careful! One teeny-tiny noise and we'll have to kiss our asses goodbye!" Hoseok cried as he desperately tried to deafen the sound of the crowbar scraping against the metal door.

"Will you stop nagging?? I'm trying to get us out of here, be a little considerate to your rescuer-"

"Oh please, don't think so highly of yourself. I could ask Yera to drop-kick your ass any day.." Hoseok whispered, his bratty attitude only seemed to fuel Yoongi's fiery desire to slap the living shit out of his boyfriend, who couldn't seem to keep his trap shut at the moment.

"Done!" Yoongi groaned a sigh of relief, followed by an equally relieved Hoseok.

"Don't leave my sight, got it? Stay by my side the entire time we're out there.."

Hoseok nodded with a determined gaze, as he held his dagger close to his chest.

"We're coming, you guys!"

Kim Yera's P.O.V

"Hey..you smell that?.." Yera stopped suddenly, resulting in Seokjin bumping into her from behind.

"I'm smelling all sorts of things in here Yera...be specific-"

"Like...gasoline..there must be a leak...it's pretty strong.."

"...Actually..yes...I think it's coming from over there.." Seokjin walked past her and disappeared after the turn. Sighing at his impatience, she ran to catch up with the male.

------------

"Holy shit..." Seokjin breathed out.

There in front of them stood a large plastic container with a crack going up the side, at the very bottom of the crevice, liquid dribbled onto the floor forming a small puddle.

"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Yera smirked and walked towards the grinning Seokjin.

"Hell yeah, lets burn this shitstand to the ground when this is all over"

The duo fist-bumped and got to work using the gasoline.

(Back in the store room)

The sound of the shuffling increased until it stopped all of a sudden. Jimin nudged the boy and they locked eyes, exchanging inaudible words through their gaze.

Small squeaks resonated around the small room, alerting the three boys that the vent was being opened by whatever was behind it.

Jungkook's hand gripped the gun strapped to his holster, he silently unclipped it and brought it up to his chest. If it meant the others would be saved if he fought, then he was going to do it without hesitating.

Just then, the vent burst open and the metal grate flung against the wall, emitting a loud bang. Jungkook's eyes widened when he noticed a crouched figure hurriedly climbing out of the vent and struggling to shut it.

"No no no no NO!" the person cried out as he searched the floor like a maniac.

"TAEHYUNG??" Namjoon called out from behind the exposed door.

"Hyung help me!" the boy's voice cracked as he spoke.

Namjoon stepped out and ran to his side, searching for the lid to close the gap. All of a sudden, a loud screech pierced the air, making the group seize their breathing. The vent walls rattled as something started to crawl towards the opening where Taehyung sat.

Jungkook felt something jab into his side, he turned to Jimin who held the metal grate with a horrified expression.

Without thinking, Jungkook sprung to action, he ripped the object from Jimin's grasp and darted to the vent. He pushed Taehyung aside and slammed the grate back into its place, fitting it into the square-shaped hole as he closed it shut. Something was going to burst through it and Jungkook was going to do his best to prevent that from happening.

The rapid sounds of the creature nearing the opening grew louder. Jungkook grunted when it rammed into the grate, shoving him to the side slightly. He immediately pushed himself up against the grate, using his body weight to keep the vent closed.

"GO! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS-" he was interrupted by the creature slamming back into the grate. It clawed at the entrance as if it were trying to scratch it open. The group winced at the high pitched ring of its claws against the metal.

---------------

"ARE YOU INSANE!? WE'RE NOT LEAVING YOU JUNGKOOK!! THAT'S FINAL!" Jimin reasoned, panicked at the situation they were in.

"FINE THEN, WHAT DO YOU THINK WE SHOULD DO? HUH GENIUS??" the younger retorted through gritted teeth as he struggled to keep the grate pushed back. And as if Namjoon snapped out of whatever trance he was in, he immediately sat beside Jungkook and helped him. He kept one hand on the grate and leaned back against it, copying the younger who sighed in relief at the lessened pressure he had to endure.

Jungkook didn't really believe in miracles, but after Yoongi and Hoseok slammed the door open, hand in hand, in that exact moment to rescue them, his beliefs changed.

"GUYS! Oh thank god...I knew I heard Jimin crying!" Yoongi spoke with a shit-eating grin.

"I wasn't crying you dick...I was just skittish, ALSO..wHeRe have you been??" Jimin's way of changing the subject always seemed to amuse Jungkook.

"Long-story-short, looking for these two, I found Hoseok, ran into some trouble and then we found you guys." He said as he pointed at Hoseok and Taehyung. Even though Jungkook was literally keeping the grate from being torn apart, he still happened to notice the softening of Yoongi's eyes when they landed on Taehyung.

"You guys, I really l-love this reunion, I really d-do... but we're kinda l-losing it over here...so if we can kindly move it along and help t-that would be really ap-ppreciated-" Jungkook struggled to get the words out, because of the constant ramming interrupting him from behind the grate.

"P-periodt" Namjoon added as he sassily cocked his head to the side, the movement making it harder to apply pressure on the grate.

"Crap sorry...here.." Hoseok noticed the large boxes standing tall in the corner of the room beside Jimin. He hastily made his way over and started to shove the large box, with great effort he was able to move it just an inch. He hunched over trying to catch his breath, when he finally looked up he met the eyes of the three boys standing idly.

"The hell you fuckers looking at? Get your asses over here and push bitches!" Hoseok's glare melted the three boys as they got to work immediately.

Together they moved the box towards the vent.

"Ok on three, you two let go and we'll close the vent with the box..got it?" Hoseok commanded and the boys listened intently.

Jungkook grit his teeth as he grew tired, he knew Namjoon felt the same, he hoped this plan would work.

"1..2..3!" On Jimin's count, they shoved the box hard, Jungkook and Namjoon scampered to the side and at lightning speed, they successfully shut the vent.

"Did it work?" Namjoon grunted, dusting his pants as he stood up.

The box jostled slightly from the impact caused from inside the vent, but it didn't show any signs of tipping over.

"I guess so yeah.." Jimin's voice sounded unsure. "you know what?..Just to be safe, let's move the other box as well...just in case".

"Yeah you can never be too cautious.." Hoseok added, eyeing the box in question with an unforgiving gaze.

"What was that thing Tae?" Jungkook looked at Taehyung with his brow furrowed.

Taehyung, who had been quiet the entire time, suddenly broke down when he heard Jungkook. Big hot tears ran down his cheeks as he sniffled, he wiped his face but it did nothing because he didn't look like he was going to stop anytime soon.

Jungkook pulled the crying boy into his embrace, hugging him tight as he wrapped his arms around him. The rest of the boys felt physically pained to see one of the happiest people in their lives react that way. He would've seen things which would forever be etched in his memory.

Yoongi looked away not finding the strength in him to watch anymore, Hoseok and Jimin's eyes glossed over as they brimmed with tears and Namjoon watched with a look of anguish painted on his face.
