♫FAKE LOVE - BTS♫

I smile before averting my gaze to Minho who sees Changbin's strategy and starts punching the wall, breaking it open. Right outside of the hole he punched is a butcher knife, he picks it up and starts hacking at his chains. "35 seconds left!" The king speaks and my gaze intensifies on the boys. Please don't get hurt. Leeknow breaks out of his chains and starts hacking at the hole in the wall, attempting to make it big enough for him to escape. I turn to Jeongin and see him desperately trying to get out of his room with a key in his hands. I furrow my eyebrows, seeing no sign of a chain in his room at any point in time. Is he crying? I attempt to stand up, forgetting about the chains and getting pulled back down. He looks around and finds a loose tile in the floor, lifting it up and finding a window breaker. He kneels on the floor and slams the breaker into the bottom corner, breaking the entire wall. He starts sprinting towards me but gets caught on a trapped floor board. "Ji! Catch!" He throws a key at me and I catch it, trying my hardest to unlocked one of my arms. He gets frustrated as he realizes that I cant reach my arm, making me unable to unlock my locks. Han never had a chain either but he doesn't have anything to break out like Jeongin did. "Jeongin! Give me your breaker!" Han yells and Jeongin complies, throwing the breaker throw a small hole in the bottom of Han's room. He pushes his pointer finger out of the hole and rolls the breaker in, grabbing   It and using it to break his wall like Jeongin did. He runs to the stuck Jeongin in the floor and checks his pockets, finding another key. "Now how to get though." He mumbles and looks around seeing each trap door has one difference, the height. "Minhos the one that's good with this stuff." He speaks and tucks the key into his pocket before running to Minho's room. "Step back!" Leeknow yells and takes the final swing, breaking the wall. I turn to Changbin and see his wall broken but his chains still attached. "Where's his key?" I look down at Han and a theory pops into my head. "No way, I have to say something." "New rule!" The king interrupts me. "There's no talking between you boys and Rose for the rest of the game, this is how punishable by death." He turns towards me and speaks "May the game continue." He walks away and I look down, praying that they help each other. I watch as Chan breaks out of his room, walking over to Jeongin and trying to help. Seungmin breaks out as well and heads to Felix, helping him decipher the newly discovered code on the floor. Chan almost gets Jeongin free but missteps, getting him stuck as well. Han tells Minho the issue and he instructs Han on where to step. Minho follows after Han and Hyunjin sneakily follows behind them. Hyunjin catches my stare and he puts  a hushed finger to his lips. I look down, this feels so wrong. I wish I could do something. In front of the three boys there's a gum-ball machine with 7 gum-balls and a code box. I look around and see a light with the same colors as the gum-balls. It must be the order. Hyunjin runs to the code box and puts in 7 numbers, waiting three seconds but the box lights red. "15 seconds everyone!" Minho recognizes his strategy and puts in a different code, double checking the lights. The box turns green and the path to me unlocks. Before anyone can react Felix runs directly to me, taking the key in my hand and unlocking my left hand. I take it out and see harsh imprints of the chains, I look into the lock and see a self tightening mechanism. I look up at Felix with a scared look and he notices the same thing that I do. "We have to help her quickly." Han takes out his key and begins running to me but gets pushed by Seungmin. Han gets stuck in one of the trapped floors and Seungmin unlocks my other arm. "10 seconds!" I take them out and shake them, regaining blood flow. Why is he still counting? I look down  and see a chain on my ankle that wasn't there before. I look at the boys frantically, unable to communicate due to the new rule. "Her leg!" Chan yells and stuffs his hand in his pockets, "Here! I took it from Changbin!" Changbin's head shoots up and he nods, continuing to watch everything that's happening. Chan throws the key to Han and he throws it up, allowing Hyunjin to catch it in the air and bend down, stuffing it in the lock and shuffling it. "It's stuck!" He yells and the king shouts over him "5!" He keeps twisting but it doesn't work, "4!" "Let me see." Leeknow shoves Hyunjin out of the way and Felix holds my hand, gently rubbing circles to comfort me. "3!" "2!" "Got it!" Leeknow yells and the chain falls from my ankle. I let out an excruciating sigh of relief and stand up, dropping my head on Felix's shoulder. A loud sound can be heard around the room and I look to see everyone on the pressure plates no longer stuck and Changbin no longer chained.  "That was way too close. Her foot would've been cut off!" The king giggles maniacally before speaking. "Let's have some breakfast now, shall we?" I sigh, thanking all the boys before reluctantly following behind the king. I walk next to Changbin, my gaze moving from his still bleeding hand to the floor in front of us. "Why would you punch the glass like that?" I ask, a hint of worry evident in my voice. "I had to get to you."
