The rust red sky slowly became darker and darker till was impossible to see anything. It was just complete, pitch black darkness. The moon seemed to be absent from the sky as well. I carefully, walked on the ground. Trying not to step on any branches. Yoongi, Namjoon and Hoseok had the torches with them, and it was just enough light for us to walk without tripping on the ground. 

The night was getting colder. Staying inside the research facility, it was hard to realize that the nights get this cold. I frowned when I heard a faint rumble of clouds. 

It will rain soon.

I looked up and squinted by eyes a little. There were indeed some dark clouds looming above in the sky. Then suddenly, we came to a stop. Confused as to why he stopped walking, I walked ahead to Namjoon and realized we didn't have any road to continue walking on. There was a wide rift in front of us. It wasn't deep, and a river flowed in between it it. There was a wooden bridge, but it was of no use. It had been torn apart from one side, and it wasn't remotely possible to walk on whatever was left of the bridge. 

"What now?" I heard Jin ask. 

I glanced towards Namjoon and saw a conflicted expression on his face. It was clearly visible that he was trying his best to keep himself together and not break down. I bit down on my lips, and looked around. When Hoseok was pointing around with the torch light, I caught a glimpse of something. 

"Hyung, the brown lies on the map, how long were they?" I asked. 

"Quite long, why?" Jin answered. 

I took the torch light from Hoseok's hand pointed it towards what I had seen.  A tunnel down below.  "Those brown lines were meant for the tunnels."

Jin frowned, and took out the map once again and looked through it. After a few seconds, he clicked his tongue as he rolled it back and said, "Yeah, he's right."

"So, what are we waiting for?" Hoseok asked, "Let's go!"

"No!" Namjoon yelled out immediately. His eyes were wide in a terror. He let out a choked groan as he walked back. Tugging on his hair. I heard him mumble something under his breath as he frantically paced around. 

"What? Why?" Hoseok asked, "You said it would be safer if we go to the other building."

"I know!  I know-I know I said that but-but I'm not sure anymore." Namjoon blurted out, "I don't know if it's a good idea to go there anymore. It's dark! It's dark now."

"Namjoon, what's going on?" Jin asked. 

"Hyung, do you know something that the rest of us don't?" Taehyung questioned. 

"Yeah, you, Yoongi and Jimin have been acting weird since morning." Jin added, "Is there something we should know about?"

Yoongi and Jimin glanced towards each other and then at Namjoon.
