RM quickly stomped over to me and grabbed my wrist tightly before dragging me back down the hallway and upstairs. "You shouldn't be down here," He snapped, and I felt the color drain from my face.

I was in big trouble.

"W-Why can't I see my friends?" I asked nervously, "What are you doing to them down there?"

"Nothing!" RM shouted, refusing to turn around and face me. "You had no reason to be down there. You're not gonna be allowed to wander around again, you need to be escorted everywhere by one of the members, and they can't take you anywhere unless they have permission from me first. I'll let them all know about the new rules."

I stayed silent. I shouldn't have been wandering around, I should've assumed they would've found me once RM finished whatever he was discussing with S and JM... How could I have been so careless?

Once we arrived back at my room, RM shoved me inside, and closed the door behind me. He locked the door from the outside, and I banged on it a couple times.

"Let me out of here!" I cried, but I knew RM wouldn't listen.

"No. This is your punishment. We shouldn't have been so careless with what we gave you the ability to do, and this is what happens when we aren't strict enough with this stuff." RM stated, and I heard his footsteps echo down the hall as he walked away from my room.

I turned around and leaned my back on the door, just trying to take in everything that just happened.

Yuna and Jina were alive... But they didn't seem like they were okay. Yuna's voice was so shaky, and weak, and I never heard Jina at all. How bad was their situation? 

It made me feel like complete crap. Here I was, suffering just a little bit, but for the most part I was healthy and feeling okay. When BTS wasn't messing with me, they were somewhat nice, and I was fine. Yeah, S did injure me that one time, (and on purpose), but that was the worst part so far. But as for Yuna and Jina, for all I knew, they've been suffering in that basement, all alone. Unless there was a full-on kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living room down there for them to enjoy their time here in (which I 100% doubt), they were stuck in that one room, with nothing to do but hope they could escape.

And how could I have forgotten about them this entire time? Yeah, I was worried about them, but they rarely crossed my mind. I was the reason they came here, I should be doing more to get them out. I couldn't let them just suffer there this whole time, how could I have been so careless? 

I slid down the side of the door until I was on the ground, and started to sob. Now I was in big trouble, and I couldn't even help them escape! Unless Jungkook managed to come up with a plan on his own and get all four of us out... But I doubt he could do it by himself. As far as I knew, he had absolutely no idea where the hell they were. He would have to find them on his own, and risk being put in the same position as me.

My friends were stuck in that stupid room, helpless, and it was all my fault.

And there was absolutely nothing I could do about it now.

I heard a light knock on my door later that day, and I sat up quickly as the door opened. J entered, and lightly grinned.

"We're all having dinner together, RM told me to go get you so you can join us." J stated, and I slowly stood up.

"Why?" I asked. They wanted me to join them, right after RM put the punishment into place? Why not before?

"I guess he kinda feels bad, but knowing him, he'll get over it in a day or so. I agree with what he did, I don't really think letting you roam wherever you wanted was a good idea. But now, I guess we all just have to deal with the consequences." J explained, "Whatever, come on. They're all waiting for you."

J started heading back out into the hall, but I didn't move. Instead, I still had one more question. "Are Yuna and Jina gonna be there?"

J stopped, and turned back to face me, slowly. "No," He stated softly, "They won't."

"Why am I not allowed to see them?" I blurted out.

J took a deep breath, and rubbed his temples before answering. "It was RM's orders since before you even arrived. That's just how it is. We've given you enough freedoms before this incident, can't you just let it go?" He replied, and I shook my head.

"You guys have been hard on me, but nowhere near how hard you've been on them, I'm not stupid. At least give them this one thing to be happy about!" I argued, and J shook his head.

"It doesn't matter anymore, they don't need to see you, or vice-versa. Just let it go." J ordered, and I shook my head.

"I need to see them!" I demanded. "I'm the reason they were brought into this mess, the least I can do for them is at least see them just once and apologize!"

J shrugged. "Then they'll just have to deal with it. Sucks for them. Let's just go already"

I huffed, and refused to move. J quickly grabbed me by the wrist, and dragged me out of the room. We ended up in the dining room, and the other five men glanced up at us. There were two empty seats at the table, right next to each other. The first one was next to Jungkook, with no one else next to it. The other was right at the head of the table, next to S. I immediately sat next to Jungkook, too terrified to sit next to S. For all I knew, he could've brought a knife with him, then decide that it would be a good idea to cut my arm off under the table halfway through dinner. 

Jungkook smiled as I sat down, and I returned one weakly. J walked into the kitchen to bring out everyone's food, and we all started to eat afterwards.

It was silent as we ate. I don't mean like it was quiet and some of them were whispering here and there, not at all. No one had said a single word after I sat down.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my leg, and looked down to see a piece of paper in Jungkook's hand. Was it a note?

I took it, and realized that I needed to find a way to read it without anyone noticing. A quick idea came to mind, and I lifted up my leg, placing my foot on the chair. I was still wearing my combat boots, and pretended to re-tie the laces while I placed the note right next to my foot.

I got in contact with Tae again (You know him as V, but he hates that name just as much as I hate JK). Tae has a plan already, and I can't say much now, but I'll explain as soon as I get a chance.

And by the way, I know about your punishment already. They all do too. But you found your friends, which is good. It'll be a little bit more difficult to do the plan now that you're in trouble, but we'll make it work.

I put my foot back down under the table, and nonchalantly placed the note back inside my pocket. A few seconds later, JH cleared his throat, and got everyone's attention.

"Someone at this table broke my laptop during the power outage. I have no idea who the fuck it was, but I'm gonna find out who. If no one comes forward by time I get my new one, you'll all be in big trouble." JH stated, fuming. Wow, thanks for making things more awkward, JH...

I carefully glanced over at Jungkook, as if I was silently asking if he did it, and he shook his head. As I figured...

Whoever did it certainly had bigger motives than just breaking his laptop. There was a lot of tension between all of the members that I hadn't seen when I first arrived, and now I'm confused as to why someone would do this.

But even though I'm confused, I was still grateful for them doing this. Now, we might be able to turn them on each other before they can turn on us.
