Yes, the 6 boys rested well. Very well indeed. And that was a very good choice, for the next challenge would be very, very difficult. What would happen?

The friend group did not wake up the same place they went to sleep in but they woke up in a large... bathroom? It was a room 50x the size of a master bedroom and the ceiling looked like it was as tall as a skyscraper. They looked like ants in that room we'll call The Chamber. Once they wake up, Jungkook speaks again.

"Tell me. How do you feel in this room? Do you feel small? Are you scared?" The boys start shivering. "Is it cold here?" Jungkook starts. "I will let you know before, one of you 6 will die. I will not say who, that is a secret you will soon find out."

The 6 men gasp under their breaths. None of them want to die, and definitely not now. Before Jungkook could let out another word, Taehyung screams.

"WE WANT TO LEAVE." No one speaks. "we... we want to leave. Now. Please let us go."

Jungkook starts once more: "You already signed the waver. Did you not read everything on it? It didn't just say 'How many people are entering' and 'Sign Here.' It also said 'Once you enter, there is no escaping other than finding an exit.' " Yoongi shouts.

"You probably put it at the bottom with little fonts did you! You wanted us to die here! GET US OUT." Jungkook replies: "Or else? You don't know where I am. You can't hurt me. I do feel a bit pity for you though. Because of that, I'll give you a hint for this one. Maybe removing something will help once it starts."

Confusion is shared all around the room. No one knows what that means. Until...

Water starts gushing from the vents. It's filling up the room, very very very quickly. Their life starts flashing before their eyes. Now the water is at their knees. Slowly but quickly, the water is creeping up to their waist. They don't scream for help but accept their fate. But one of them does not give up. Jin yells to his friends.

"Jungkook said removing something will help! We've gotta find what to remove! It looks like a bathtub in here so maybe we need to remove the plug!" Jin's right. But the plug is in the middle of the bathtub and they're on the left side of it. How will they get there in time? You'll find out soon.

They start swimming to the middle of the bathtub since the water is now neck length. It takes some time for them to get there but they still find it. Keep in mind that this plug is not a normal sized one. Because the bathtub is big, the plug is big also. Which means, they need a lot of force to pull it out. They need to work together for this one.

Jimin grabs the right side, Taehyung grabs the left side, Yoongi and Namjoon grab the top and bottom, and Jin and Hoseok grab in between the rest of the boys. Together they tug on the plug but it only moves a bit. They must not give up though, their life is at risk. They pull and pull and each pull, the plug moves a little. Eventually they pull it out but Jimin isn't there.

All the water drains out and they celebrate of course. But someone's presence isn't there anymore. Taehyung looks down and sees Jimin unconscious. Taehyung shouts his name.

"Jimin! Wake up! PLEASE!" everyone looks down at their deceased friend with sadness in their eyes. Out of all people at the moment, did it have to be Jimin? Why? Jungkook congratulates them for passing.

"Good job! You have passed the second challenge! Most people die at this point but you're alive so you did great! It's been so long since the 3rd chall-" Hoseok interrupts.

"Wow. What shows me that you're a human was when you said u had pity for us before. So if you're a human, why are you so cruel? Why are you killing random people?" Then Jungkook replies to Hoseok's comment.

"Let's skip that question and let's go to sleep okay? See you tomorrow." Taehyung and the rest of them try to wake Jimin up but each time, they fail. He's dead, long and gone. Nobody knows what to do but cry. They can't hold a burial, can't hide his body, they just have to wait until he decomposes or until someone takes him. With tears running down their face they keep Jimin in their hearts and go to sleep until the next day.
