Goodnight // Taehyung AU //

T.H.I.R.T.E.E.N

You entered the right room and you were submerged into darkness immediately. Your heart raced and you stood still, closing your eyes for a few seconds so they would adjust to the dark.

When you opened them again, there was a candle lit in the centre of the room.

"Welcome Y/N. I see you chose this room. You thought I was going to trick you and make you kill someone in the left room anyway, didn't you?" The voice echoed over the tannoy. "I decided to change it up a little bit. You don't have to kill anybody, not yet at least. But first, you'll watch someone be killed."

Then the lights flickered on across the room, only lighting up a small fraction of the room, and you could already tell that there was a barrier between you and that section of the room. Your heart dropped to your stomach as you saw Namjoon looking at you with pitiful eyes.

"I'll tell you a little fact Y/N." The voice chuckled. "I killed Park Jimin, and I killed Kim Seokjin who was the man I... gifted you at the cabin. Both of them were linked to Taehyung in one way or another. Our friend Kim Namjoon is also linked to Taehyung."

Namjoon's face was black and blue with bruises, he wasn't even putting up a fight against the chains that restrained him anymore.

"If you had chosen the left room, I would've let Namjoon walk a free man. It's your fault he's going to die. His death will be over on 60 seconds. Say your goodbyes."

"I'm sorry I couldn't help, Y/N." Namjoon mouthed and you ran towards him, pounding on the glass that separated the two of you. You felt it shake with your force, and that filled you with hope.

"No." You spat, body filling with anger. "I will not let you harm another person." You looked around frantically and you saw a baseball bat. You sprinted and grabbed it. "It may be your game, but I'm the player, and I'll play it how I want to play it."

You charged full force, swinging the bat as your body and the bat collided with the glass. The glass shattered and you heard a whirring of a machine kick in. You grabbed Namjoon's arm and pulled him from the corner, thanking that he was only bound by his arms and ankles. Your eyes widened as a saw came from a wall and sliced where Namjoon should've been.

"What... why did you do that?" Namjoon croaked gently.

"Because. I won't let another person die, whether that be you, Taehyung or whoever this freak shoves at me." You spoke, determination filling you.

"You're smarter than you look Y/N. I'll let you know now that there's an opportunity for you to win in every one of my games. You just need to find it. There's a knife near where you found the baseball bat, you can cut Namjoon free, but then you have the burden of a man who can barely walk." He hummed over the tannoy. "Please progress onto the next room."

You got up, and fumbled through the darkness and found the knife. You quickly got to work on cutting the ropes which meant Namjoon sighed in relief.

Choose

Leave Namjoon in that room.

Take him with you.
