As the crew scrambled to fix the equipment, the members of BTS decided to take matters into their own hands. Armed with flashlights and a newfound sense of adventure, they ventured into the backstage area, determined to uncover the cause of the mysterious silence.
"Alright, let's split up and look for clues," RM instructed, the leader's instinct kicking in.
"I still don't like the idea of splitting up," Jimin muttered nervously.
"Don't worry," J-Hope said, patting him on the back. "We'll be fine. It's probably just a technical glitch."
But the eerie silence of the empty stadium and the flickering lights overhead suggested otherwise. The members spread out, each taking a different part of the backstage area.

V and Jin: The Hidden Door
V and Jin headed towards the storage area, where old equipment and props were kept. The dim light from their flashlights cast long, unsettling shadows on the walls. As they rummaged through the clutter, V stumbled upon a hidden door behind a stack of amplifiers.
"Hyung, look at this," V whispered, his voice filled with curiosity.
Jin, intrigued, moved closer. "A hidden door? What's behind it?"
They pushed the door open to reveal a narrow passageway leading to an old, dusty control room. The room was filled with ancient recording equipment, and the monitors flickered to life as they entered, displaying eerie, static-filled footage of the stadium.

Suga and J-Hope: The Cryptic Message
Meanwhile, Suga and J-Hope were exploring the dressing rooms. Suga's keen eyes caught something unusual on one of the walls – a series of cryptic symbols and words scratched into the paint.
"Look at this, Hobi," Suga said, pointing to the wall.
J-Hope leaned in, trying to decipher the message. "Find the silence, and you'll find the truth," he read aloud. "What does that even mean?"
"It means we're getting closer to something," Suga replied, his mind racing with possibilities.

RM, Jungkook, and Jimin: The Control Room
RM, Jungkook, and Jimin made their way to the main control room, where the stadium's audio and visual systems were controlled. As they entered, they noticed that the control panels had been tampered with. Wires were cut, and switches were flipped in all directions.
"This is definitely not a glitch," RM said, inspecting the damage. "Someone did this on purpose."
"But why?" Jungkook asked, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Before RM could answer, the room's monitors flickered to life, displaying the same eerie footage that V and Jin had seen. A distorted voice echoed through the room.
"Welcome, BTS," the voice said, sending shivers down their spines. "I hope you're ready for a little game."
"Who are you?" RM demanded, his voice steady despite the fear creeping in.
"Just someone who enjoys a bit of chaos," the voice replied. "If you want your soundcheck back, you'll have to solve my riddles."

The First Riddle
The first riddle appeared on the screen: "I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind."
"An echo," Suga said immediately through the radio they were using to communicate with each other.
The monitors flickered again, and the voice returned. "Correct. But the game has just begun," the voice warned.

The Mystery Deepens
With the first riddle solved, the members regrouped, their determination stronger than ever. They knew they were up against someone who wanted to test their wits and resolve. The eerie atmosphere and the strange challenges only fueled their desire to uncover the truth and get their soundcheck back on track.
"Let's stay focused," RM said, looking at each of the members. "We can do this together."
The boys nodded in agreement, ready to face whatever came next. As they ventured deeper into the stadium, they knew one thing for sure – the mystery was far from over, and they were just getting started.
