Finding your way around your friends' new dorm is tough – but it's even tougher when you're being hunted down by six hyperactive, twenty-something children.  

-:-:-:-

Your heart is pounding, your face red from the running you've just been doing. Your shoulders are heaving, straining against the protective gear around your chest as you tighten your grip around the brightly coloured gun in your hands.

You're crouched down low, hidden behind a stack of boxes in what's going to be Jimin and Hoseok's bedroom, with Namjoon by your side. You've managed to build a makeshift box fort in the back of the room so you have a safe place to hide for a while. You're both taking deep breaths, trying desperately to take a short rest before you have to go out again to find the others.

There's yelling and shouting outside, then footsteps thundering past the bedroom. You squeeze your eyes shut in fear, desperately trying to silence your breaths. Why can't you just pant silently for a change?

"We could just stay here and hide," Namjoon whispers lowly once the footsteps have died down, looking aside at you. "It's a war zone out there – we'll get killed before we set foot in the hallway."

You bite your lip as you weigh your options. Jumping up for only a split second, you look out over the box fort. The door is open and the hallway is deserted. Any voices you hear sound far away, but you have no idea how far away exactly they are.

"If we run now, I think we can make it to a better hiding spot," you say, crouching back down. Your legs are starting to fall asleep, but you'll worry about that later – there are more pressing things at hand right now. "We don't want to get stuck here."

"But we don't know what's out there," Namjoon protests, exaggerating it a little just to add some drama. "We don't know if we can find another place like this."

He has a point. Not one of you knows the layout of the new dorm very well, considering it's moving day and none of the members have had much time to check it out very well before now. The one time you came here before today, you got horribly lost in this maze of an apartment. You don't even know how exactly you ended up in this bedroom, let alone how you can make your way around this apartment without being shot down by one of the other three duos running around.

Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps grabs your attention and you and Namjoon exchange wide-eyed looks. Both of your breathing goes shallow as you try to be as silent as you can, your limbs not moving an inch. There's whispering – the voices sound like they could be Hoseok and Jimin walking towards their own bedroom, but you can't be sure. They're speaking way too softly for you to be able to hear what they're saying, but you can definitely hear that they're getting closer and closer.

There's one thing you know for certain – this wall of boxes you've built with Namjoon is way too obvious to be let alone by your two enemies. There's absolutely no way they won't want to look closer, and no way they won't want to inspect the room while they're there.

There's no way for you to get out of this without a fight.

You look aside at Namjoon, who seems to be thinking the exact same thing as you are. He's gripping his nerf gun tightly, his finger inching closer to the trigger as the duo outside inches closer to the bedroom door. A moment passes, complete silence hanging in the air. Adrenaline is surging through your veins and, slowly and oh so silently, you get into position to shoot down anyone that tries to shoot at you.
