Like planned, Jimin had to hurry back to Jin's room to remove the mask. The elder was happy to see him again.

"Jimin-ah.."
"Hyung I can't stay for long, I'll see you later yeah?"

Jin nodded sadly as Jimin detached the mask from his face. He planted a surprise kiss on the elder's lips and grinned before running off.

Jin giggled and layed still against the wall, waiting for the last five minutes to pass.

Jimin met with Suga again and the two escaped like the day before.

As they ran through the last hallway that led to the exit, voices could be heard. Suga grabbed the collar of Jimin's shirt and panicked, dragging them through the nearest door to hide.

They happened to have entered an individual toilet with minimum space and pushed themselves against the door. They attempted to hear the conversation between the two men walking by and Suga recognized them. "Him..."
"Hm? Hyung?" Jimin looked at him confused.

Suga didn't respond and concentrated on the conversation. He couldn't make out exact words, but they were talking about Jin. They were probably going to release him in a few minutes.

"They're gonna release Jin hyung..." Suga muttered to himself. "Really?" Jimin beamed, just a little too loud. Suga put his finger to his own mouth, gesturing the younger to be quieter. The latter nodded and listened into the conversation as well.

When the voices died down they waited before exiting the small bathroom and ran out as quick as possible.

"I'm surprised you two didn't get caught." Rapmon commented when Suga and Jimin told them what they heard.

The elder took the rapper aside for a bit. "You were right, they expected him to die within 24 hours..." He said. Rapmon nodded, "I knew it. At least he's still alive, right?" Suga nodded, "I'm just afraid they'll find out we did something to keep him alive. Where's the mask?"

Rapmon turned around and saw the mask still in Jimin's hand. "Jimin," He called out. The younger turned to him, "Yes, hyungnim?"
"Give me the mask, please." Jimin looked at the object in his hands before tossing it to the elder.

The latter then handed it to Suga, who held it up and squized it tightly. A blue flame emerged from his palm and the mask was being burned to ashes.

Rapmon widened his eyes as he was amazed by the trick. "I don't think I've ever seen you burn things, hyung."

The mask was gone and the door to the cafetaria opened, revealing a dazed but grinning Jin.

Jimin ran up to him as soon as he came in and threw himself at the elder, pulling him into a tight hug. "Woah Jimin!" The leader exclaimed laughing. "I saw you a few minutes ago?"
"But I missed you," Jimin pouted.

"Wait, hyung, they let you go?" Suga came up to them to ask the real question.
"Yes? Why wouldn't they?"
Suga turned back to look at Rapmon, "They expected you to be dead."

Jin shifted his gaze from Suga to Rapmon. "I know... but they released me. Isn't that good?"

"Didn't they ask you any questions?" Suga continued.

"Not that I can think of."

Suga sighed frustrated, "They must've suspected something.... I don't trust this."

"Hyung, what's the problem?" Jimin asked him confused.
"They couldn't have let Jin hyung just go like that. They probably know that we cheated but they're not saying it directly. What if they surprise attack us? Or interrogate us? I just don't understand why they didn't quention Jin when he was supposed to be dead!" Suga went off, concerning the other guys.

"Hyung, aren't getting a little bit paranoid over this?" J-Hope questioned.

"We'll have to prepare ourselves for the worst then. For now let's be glad Jin hyung is alive." Rapmon patted Suga's shoulder to calm him down a bit.

"Never thought I'd hear you say those words." Jin chuckled and Rapmon copied him.

Again the seven males got two days to rest before their new game started. And once again they weren't informed about what they were supposed to do next.

Within those two days none of them were questioned about Jin being alive after the punishment, which made Suga even more paranoid. The others tried reassuring him but it didn't work.

He went to spy and evesdrop on several people to try and find some info. He found the person he was looking for, but only heard him.

The man was going off at his employees about Jin not having died. The, assumed, men in black tried explaining that they found nothing strange on security tapes and that Jin had survived by himself. Their boss still wasn't satisfied with their explanation and Suga assumed he had attacked one of them out of anger. Whatever he heard didn't sound pretty.

The black haired male had heard enough and retreated, finally feeling sane again.

On the day of their new game they were expected somewhere else than the arena. The audience still sat on their usual spot but were presented with giant hologram screens to watch the seven men on.

And the announcer was on his same spot too.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for appearing once more to watch the game of our seven brave contestants; Jin, J-Hope, Rap Monster, Suga, Jimin, V and Jungkook! Today our heroes are somewhere else for their game, since they'll be playing a simulation!"

The audience murmured amongs themselves. All were curious about what kind of simulation he was talking about.

"Our brave guys will be reliving their past! Some of you might know about the difficult things they went through in the past but some might have no idea at all! Today is your chance to find out what their past looked like as they're going to relive some of their scariest memories as a test of courage and wisdom!"

Half the audience was cheering as the other half was yelling boo. Who would want to relive their traumatizing past? But what did their past really look like?
