Hours passed by and Jungkook awoke, his body freezing although he had been sweating. He panted slightly as he wiped the sweat from his forehead, sitting up in the lonely bed. Jungkook slowly slipped out of the bed and started walking to the door to go into the hallway before he raised his hand to his head. He shook his head slightly, feeling a bit lightheaded. He needed some food. Jungkook opened the door slowly in search of some food. Whatever he found would suffice.

Jungkook suddenly realized he had no clue where to get food. Did this library even have a kitchen? Where did V get the food to begin with? Jungkook walked into the main room of the library to see Suga sleeping on one of the tables. Why? Jungkook, still tired, struggled to understand why the heck there was someone sleeping on one of the tables. Wait no, even if Jungkook was fully awake, he still wouldn’t understand this? Why the table? Where did he sleep the first time?

Jungkook walked over to Suga and tapped his shoulder. No response. He tapped his shoulder a second time. Again, no response. Jungkook groaned and pushed against Suga until he fell onto the floor. Whoops. A bit too much. There was a loud thud as Suga’s body hit the floor.

Suga jolted awake and gave Jungkook the most confused and agitated look he had ever seen. Suddenly, Jungkook remembered what he dreamed. Suga was wandering the library when he suddenly turned to a shelf and tugged on a book. It pulled out half way before hitching; a lever. The bookshelf slid into the wall revealing a passage behind it. Jungkook blinked and J-Hope was behind Suga. He laid a hand on his shoulder and when Suga spun around, he gave him a smile. Suga looked J-Hope directly in his eyes, his blood-red eyes, and his face went slack. J-Hope walked around Suga, who continued to stare off into the distance face blank, and slid into the passage, closing it before him. The world flashed black and Jungkook walked forward in the blackness, steps clicking on nonexistent tile. He was approaching a tome. He recognized it as the book Suga was trapped in. Did J-Hope do this to him? Why on earth did Suga still like J-Hope so much?

“Why on earth did you do that?! Couldn’t you see that I was obviously sleeping? And why are you staring at me like that?” Suga angrily glared at Jungkook, slowly standing up from the floor.

“Why? Why didn’t you tell us about the passage?” Jungkook started backing away from Suga. Was he still loyal to J-Hope? V walked into the room holding a cup of coffee, looking tired as ever. He paused, looking around the room, taking in the situation. Jungkook looked his dead in the eyes with panic and confusion. He got no answers.

This moment seemed to last forever. Silence filled the room as Jungkook looked back and forth at the two. Was Suga planning on betraying them? Had he been plotting to ever since he was trapped in the book? There were too many questions going through Jungkook’s head but he could not utter any of them, stuck in a state of disbelief. Did he want to trust Suga anymore? He thought about the possibilities of Suga working with J-Hope this entire time, knowing everything he wanted to do, knowing his intentions. It was all too much for Jungkook to handle.

“Passage?” Suga seemed genuinely confused, but Jungkook was sure of what he saw in the dream. “What are you talking about? Have you finally lost it? Is that why you pushed me off on the table?” Suga seemed to be getting annoyed, but he really didn’t seem to know what Jungkook was talking about. Suddenly, Jungkook remembered the blank look on Suga’s face after J-Hope went through the passage. Did J-Hope do something to him?

“Do you remember a passage? At all?” Jungkook asked. He calmed himself down, hoping that Suga wasn’t just faking all of this.

“What the heck is going on?” Jungkook had forgotten V was standing in the room with them. He had set his coffee down on the table and had his arms crossed, looking at Jungkook sternly.
