Jhope pov.
"Ive cracked it!" I shout. "Its a tree!" A smile creeps upon Jimin's face as he takes in my words. Namjoon smirks. "Congratulations, you got the answer correct.
"How many more to go?"
"Four,"
"Four?" Jimin exclaims.

Jin pov.
Its been around two hours and theyve completed all the tasks but they arent freed yet. There seems to be something they havent done, Yoongi wont tell me what it is. "I know what youre thinking,"
"Did you read my mind?"
"No, I said I wouldnt, I can tell because of your eyes,"
"My eyes?"
"Its a trunk,"
"So they were right about them being significant?"
"Yes"
Were still spectating them. "Each trunk has a word engraved into the lock, these words are: Simple, Ghoul, Spirit and Sprite." Yoongi explains. His work is intricately designed and thought through.
"Lets watch them," he shushes me and we focus back on them.

Jimin pov.
We have completed all the riddles and we are left with the answers: incorrectly, tree,
shadow, IV (Roman numerals) and "the letter R" but we aren't freed. There must be something we haven't done. "Pick a chest, ill give you the key to the one you choose," Namjoon says, disturbing the deathly silence. Why wont he help us? No one is watching right? Its just us three, no cameras, no windows, just a heavy metal door that cannot be pushed open. "Jimin, maybe it has something to do with the engravings near the locks," Jhope calls me over to the four trunks.
I run my finger over the rusty metal plating that it has around each corner as I cant see it. "We need a light over here," I explain, Namjoon points over to a wall which has a switch located at shoulder height. Jhope turns it on. Another purple light illuminates the room, allowing me to see the chests better.
"I still cant read it Jimin!" Jhope says squinting infront of the closest trunk. Im sure he needs glasses. "Do the answers to the riddles even tie in with the chests?" I ask.

After about 10 minutes we have made out the words on the metal. They read; Simple, Ghoul, Spirit and Sprite.
At first thought you would think to go for ghoul as it is the only one with a G. I dont believe that its that simple though. Simple is the odd one out but the simplicity of it just rules it out as a possibility. So if im correct it will have to be sprite or spirit. But i dont know which.
"Hey, Jhope?" I ask,
"Yes?"
"What do you think? I have an idea but I want to hear yours first."
"I think its either sprite or spirit."
"Actually so do I,"
We look at each other, filled with hope.
"The answers will have something to do with it," Jhope explains, "what were they again?"
"Incorrectly, IV, shadow, tree and the letter R." Namjoon says in an empty tone.
Thats it. The words have a hidden message. "There is a hidden message!" I exclaim. Jhope tilts his head to the left slightly and looks at me. I, I, T, R. What could that do with it? I. There are two I's and there are two I's in Spirit.
"Its spirit isnt it Jimin?" Jhope asks rhetorically, watching my expressions.
"I believe so,"
"Namjoon?"
"Yes?"
"Give us the key to the Spirit Trunk." I say assertively.
He hands over the golden key, which Jhope gazes at for a brief moment.
Jhope then unlocks the chest.
There is a note inside. It is yellow and stained. The note that is inside reads,
"Congratulations,"
