"What was that?"

They all turned to face Hyeon. Namjoon was right next to her. It was obvious that he was trying to act calm and not be worrying but it was seen on his face how much he felt on the inside.

" I d-don't know. Help me I'm scared. I wanna go home. Please call my mummy and tell her I love her!" Hyeon was in a state of utter confusion and was really scared. She was the childish type who didn't see any bad in anyone. She was always friendly and bubbly. She was really oblivious towards the bad nature in some people. Yi Su rushed to her. 

"Please listen to me Hyeon. We need to help you but you need to listen carefully to what I have to say." she bent down to Hyeon's foot and turned to look at everyone for reassurance. Yeon, Taehyung and Jin smiled back at her telling her that she shouldn't be afraid. But it was really hard to be calm when everyone else has a face creased all over in worry. She turned back to face Hyeon to shut out all the fear in the atmosphere but she could hear Jimin comforting Ha Eun and Min Seo crying away with J hope.

"You need to shift your foot a little so I can see what you have stepped on. But don't move it so far that it goes of the edge of whatever you are standing on otherwise you may trigger it. Understood? Yi Su tried to calmly state. There were a few gasps of fear behind her. She looked at Hyeon reassuringly. Hyeon thought about it for a minute then calmly nodded.

"Wait! Don't move your foot yet!" Yi Su turned to face everyone behind her. " I need you to move away just in case anything happens. You too Namjoon." Everyone backed off slowly and stood at a safe distance away from them. Namjoon a bit more reluctantly but did so anyways. Yi Su looked at Hyeon and nodded signalling her to move he foot. Hyeon was slowly starting to move it away from what she was standing on and she was being careful not to go off of it completely. 

"STOP!" Yi Su said to Hyeon. She was praying hard all that time that Hyeon had stepped on a twig or something more safe than bomb that will explode if you step off it. She analysed carefully what was under her foot. She could hear praying from a few behind her. Sobs could be heard and some voices of comforting. To Yi Su's and everyone's great dismay they found out that what Hyeon had stepped on was a 1941 classic weight-triggered bomb. They wanted - no needed - Hyeon to get off of it safely. But how can they without having triggered the bomb. An idea popped into Yi Su's mind but it was a really risky and unsafe plan that may not even work. But she had to. She can't leave Hyeon like this and she can't even call the bomb diffusers as there wasn't any signal in this place. It was their only hope.

"We need to put something heavy onto it to replace her foot's weight." Yi Su stated as calmly as possible. She would help Hyeon get out of this. She brought them here so she is getting them out. 

"Everyone please go a safe distance away!" Yi Su was now yelling trying to fight her sobs. She didn't want her voice to get caught in her tears. She looked around her as everyone walked away. They knew that Yi Su was serious and nothing can change her mind when it is set. She heaved as she pulled an old heavy telecom machine from a near by handcrafted table. She placed it bedside Hyeon's foot. 

"OK let's get this over with." she wanted to do it before she regretted it. Before she was scared. But it seems that she was too late. Suddenly everything seemed dark and was suffocating her. She was breathing heavily and trying to inhale as much air as possible but it felt like the air seemed to catch and snag away before it can satisfy her aching lungs. She was breathing deeply. Hyeon was worried. Hyeon bent down.

"Are you OK? Please let me-." 

"No. You might trigger it. I'm OK." Yi Su lied.

She slid the weight across the floor and slid Hyeon's foot off with the telecom machine. 'CLICK'
