(EXTRA CHAPTER)
[This is an extension of Chapter 5 so kindly read Chapter 5 if you don't know follow the context!]

Taehyung looked at his watch as he ensured if he had reached on time. He sighed in relief as he wasn't late. He parked the bike as he got off and took off his helmet. He hung it on the bike's handle as he then took the food package and walked inside the building.

The gold palace...

The place lived up to its name as it was well maintained and clean. Taehyung walked up to the receptionist and showed her the order. It was really hot in his work uniform so fanned his face with his hand as the receptionist checked through the order.

Receptionist - "Ah... Could I trouble you a bit more sir?"
Taehyung - "Hmm? What is it, Miss?"
Receptionist - "Actually our worker who escorts these things left just a while ago due to some emergency, and the people who ordered the service aren't in their respective rooms..."
Taehyung - "Oh... Where are they?"
Receptionist - "At the rooftop. They called just a while ago too to get the food up there so..."
Taehyung - "Haha worry not Miss, this is my last delivery for the day so it won't be a problem. But can I take off my uniform here? It's a bit too hot."
Receptionist - "Oh that won't be a problem! Thank you so very much!"
Taehyung - "Not a big deal!"

Taehyung took off his vest and gloves but not his mask yet it made him look like just another resident. Taehyung picked the food package as he then headed towards the elevator. The lift was limited up to the top floor and he had to go further up by stairs. The elevators had one glass side, from which the outside of the city could be seen.
He was fascinated by the beautiful fireworks going outside in the city festival. He wondered if his grandmother also missed celebrating such festivals together. As Taehyung was reminiscing his memories with his grandmother, he reached the top floor and headed upstairs.

As he walked closer and closer to the rooftop, he could hear some people talking loud and in excitement. There were a total of 5 men, circling around something. However, meddling in their business was not something Taehyung was interested in.
The place wasn't totally built well and looked as if it was still under work as there were construction tools there.

(I'm going to address them as Guy1 Guy2 etc or better understanding)

Guy1 - "That's a lottery dude... Let's take her to our room."
Guy2 - "Nah, let's just each finish one one time and then think about that. What if someone suspects-"

That's a lady...?

Taehyung's footsteps had alerted the guys. Although they were trying to hide your unconscious body, they failed to do so, to which Taehyung tilted his head. Guy3 came up to him, smiling, to which your face was revealed to him. Taehyung's expressions curled up into an emotionless but cautious face.

Guy3 - "You must be the delivery boy right? Is that our food in your hands? We're starving you see..."
Taehyung - "Oh no, I'm not the delivery boy, he left early. The receptionist is my aunt so she sent me here instead and it seems you're the people who ordered this big meal haha. I almost thought it was for that lady over there."
Guy3 - "Oh... Yeah she's with us too haha."
Taehyung -"But you ordered only 5 plates sir?"
Guy5 - "We're planning to feed her something else hahaha"

Guy3 shushed him as he made the weird joke. Taehyung's hand clenched into a fist. He still went up to you to make sure you weren't harmed at all by them.
He sighed in relief when he discovered that wasn't the case. He did smell alcohol off of you, along with lots of cigarette butts beside the chair you were on.
