That night, despite the unbelievable cold weather and silent snowfall, Yoongi decided to execute his plan to excavate the chest. He found himself to lay sandwiched between his son Jungkook and his favorite assistant Jimin for comfort.

Yoongi decided it was time to wake them. He slightly tapped Jungkook, who was sleeping to his left, trying to rouse him gently. Then, he shook Jimin's shoulder, who was sleeping to his right. Both of them groaned and shifted away from Yoongi, making him feel like he was about to freeze solid. Desperate for warmth, he pulled them closer again, trying to wake them.

"My personal body warmers, please wake up... and don't roll away from me... I'm freezing," Yoongi muttered through chattering teeth.

"You are using sick people as your personal heaters?" Jungkook mumbled, his voice thick with sleep.

"You both are not letting me switch on the heaters, so what else can I do?" Yoongi retorted, trying to keep his voice steady. Jimin crinkled his eyes, half asleep tried to focus on his watch..

"It's just 3 a.m., Yoongi hyung... let us sleep for four more hours, please.. lets go after sun rise..." Jimin whined, burying his face deeper into his sleeping bag.

"We're supposed to do this stealthily... remember?" Yoongi insisted, the urgency in his voice cutting through the cold.

"Fine... where do we start?" Jungkook finally relented, rubbing his eyes and trying to shake off the remnants of sleep.

"Let's excavate the chest tonight... we'll bring it back here, then you both can sleep. I’ll inspect it. Tonight is an easy task.. so rest!!  The day after tomorrow night, we’ll start work at the seven-statue site, no excuses on that" Yoongi explained, his eyes gleaming with determination.

Reluctantly, Jimin and Jungkook got up, their hot breath forming foggy clouds in the freezing air. Yoongi quickly bundled up in his warmest clothes . Jungkook and  grabbed their tools, ready to follow Yoongi's lead.

The trio made their way to the spot Yoongi had discovered earlier, the silent snowfall creating a serene, almost magical atmosphere outside the shrine.

The tall statue in the open chamber loomed in the background, casting eerie shadows in the moonlight. Yoongi carefully started the excavation, guiding Jungkook and Jimin on where to dig.

After what felt like hours, they finally Jimin's  shovel hit some metal, Yoongi carefully digged  further to unearthed the small chest with an iron handle.

"Got it," Yoongi whispered, his voice tinged with both relief and excitement.
