     "𝕎here the hell are we now?" jimin asked with a frown, the seven of them looking around the room confusedly.

the room was full of bookshelves placed all around the place. they soon realized it was a maze in front of them.

"maybe i can just fly to the top to see where the exit is." jungkook suggested, floating while the others nodded. but as soon as he reached the height level of the bookshelves, an invisible barrier made him stop abruptly, hitting his head and making him groan. "ouch!"

"yeah, we should've figured it wasn't going to be that easy." namjoon said, jungkook caressing his own head while floating back down, taehyung walking up to him to check if he was okay. "well, we better start walking now."

they followed namjoon's suggestion and started walking ahead, following each other through the bookshelves, looking for an exit eagerly. minutes went by when they focused on getting out of there, none of them noticing how their paths were slowly growing apart of each other, until taehyung looked back at his friends and saw no one. "g-guys?"

he looked around with wide eyes, shouting his friends' names, only being answered by dead silence. he nervously bit his nails, trying to calm down by breathing heavily.

"i have to get out of here." he said, walking ahead with determined steps, even though he wasn't sure of where he was going to. he needed to get out of there, he promised jungkook he would never leave his side.

meanwhile, the younger was panicking all over the place, calling repeatedly for everyone's names and almost crying when he received no answer. he tried multiple times to float his way out of the maze, only to be reminded that he wasn't allowed to do that by an invisible barrier hitting his head.

"f-fuck." he groaned once again, caressing his pained area while looking ahead. with a small sigh, he started walking once again after his small tantrum. "i promised to hold taehyung's hand, i can't back up now. let's get this bread."

seokjin was almost hoarse because of all the screaming he've done, half of the time calling out for his boyfriend and friends and the other half insulting the witch for putting him in such a difficult situation. when he decided that it was time to stop before he completely lost his voice, he remembered how namjoon always told him to stay calm and look for an exit in a difficult situation, so he breathed heavily and started walking ahead.

hoseok was the most scared out of them all, running through the bookshelves when he realized he was alone to not waste any more time and get out of there as soon as possible. little scared sounds could be heard from his mouth with every step he took, praying to whoever listened to him to get him out of there quickly.

namjoon was walking through the maze at a quick pace, being the most calm of them all; someone had to be serene in the situation and it was his job most of the time. he was nervously fidgeting his fingers as he walked, the silence around him making him feel out of breath.

yoongi shouted everyone's names for a couple of times, until he thought about horror movies and how something like this always happens. so he took a deep breath and continued with his walk, saying to himself that he'll soon get out and find everyone else.

jimin almost cried at the spot because he knew how scared hoseok must be without them, so he decided to quickly walk through the maze while looking around repeatedly, occasionally shouting random names and groaning when he didn't receive any answer.

they spent minutes walking, which felt like long torturing hours. the first one to come out was hoseok, who was out of breath, placing his hands on his knees to catch his breath with sweat dripping from his forehead. while he catches his breath, the other six boys come out one by one, yoongi and jimin running to his direction to tackle the red haired boy with a hug.

namjoon and seokjin hugged each other too, the older whining about being so lonely and anxious without them. taehyung and jungkook pressed their lips together, watching how the couples hugged and feeling that well-known bitterness in their chests because they couldn't do the same.

"we'll do it soon." taehyung said after a couple of seconds, smiling apologetically at the ghost. "i was going crazy in there."

"yeah, it was too silent and lonely." he complained, taehyung nodding in agreement. "i'm glad we're out of there safely."

after minutes of hugging and calming each other down, the seven of them were now back to look around the room with curious eyes. "so, where's the door?"

"there's no door." yoongi said, crossing his arms with his eyes squinted. "is that witch really that cliché to put a secret door that opens with a book?"

"well, maybe she likes to keep it old-fashioned." namjoon shrugged, walking around in search for a misplaced book. "let's see if we can find it."

they searched through the bookshelves around them for a book that opens the door, not having any results for the first minutes, until jungkook found a red book that said witches, identical to the one they found at the library. he picked it up to reveal a misplaced book, pulling it and opening the secret door. "yes!"

"great job, kookie." taehyung praised, all of them sighing in relieve and cheering for him. once they finished with their excitement moment, they counted to three and started walking through the dark hallway, all of them looking around until they couldn't see anything anymore. they walked blindly until a bright light made them close their eyes tightly, a mischievous laugh making them shiver at the spot.

"well, well, well..." a feminine voice said, the old lady from the supermarket walking into the room. the bright light faded away, allowing the boys to open their eyes and stare with a frown at the woman in front of them. "you came here sooner than i expected."

with a snap of her fingers, the lady was suddenly turned into a blonde woman, with a red dress and red lipstick shining proudly in her pretty lips. the exact same lady from the picture they found at the basement.

"allow me to introduce myself, boys."
