Snowy Night | a BTS Horror Story

Chapter 4: Betrayed

1:00 AM (6 Hours Till Sunrise)

Rap Monster lunges at Taehyung's face. Taehyung shuts his eyes tight.

Suddenly he's yanked away. He trips over his own feet as he is pulled. He opens his eyes to see Jimin dragging him along toward the computer room. Jongin and Taemin are running alongside them.

Taehyung barely manages to halt and keep from crashing into the door.

"Yoongi!" Jimin shouts through the door. "Let us in! Let us in please! Someone! Ppalli! Hurry up!"

"Jimin," Taemin gasps. "Jimin, duck!"

Jimin whips around and grabs a folding chair, holding it up like a shield just in time to block Rap Mon's assault. Taemin and Jongin come up alongside Jimin and push with him, but even so their feet slide back.

The lock clicks and the door opens.

"Go!" Jimin grunts.

"I won't leave you, hyung."

"Sunbaenims," Jimin says, the muscles in his arms popping. "Please keep my dongsaeng safe."

With that, he throws the chair down and jumps at Rap Mon.

"Jimin!" Taehyung tries to help, but Taemin and Jongin intercept him and drive him into the computer room.

Suga immediately runs up and locks the door, bracing himself against it as it takes two staggering hits from the other side that jolt him and rattle the hinges.

"No!" Taehyung struggles free of Taemin and Jongin. "Hyung, how could you? Jimin! He's still-"

"What?" Suga pales, looking over all the faces in the room. "I," he gulps, "I thought-"

He is cut off by Jimin's scream.

Suga cusses once, going rigid and white-knuckled.

"Don't open the door!" Jimin cries raggedly. "Don't! Don't do it!"

"Hyung!" Taehyung takes Suga by the shoulders. "Open the door! Please!"

"Don't open the door!"

"Hyung, please!"

"Don't open the door!"

Suga shoves Taehyung off and sinks to the ground, plugging his ears with his fingers.

They hear furniture breaking, and things or people being slammed around. Taehyung runs forward and starts to unlock the door, but Taemin and Jongin hold him back again. Eventually Jimin's cries go silent, and then they hear nothing.

"Hyung!" Taehyung screams. "How could you! How could you do that to him!" His voice breaks and hot tears spill over his cheeks. "Jimin hyung," he says, biting his lip. "Ji, Jimin."

Jongin and Taemin release Taehyung, who sinks to the floor in defeat.

Taehyung scans the room quietly in the following silence. It's a fairly small room with no windows, a floor lamp, a table with a desktop and a microphone on it, and two rotating chairs on wheels pulled up to it. Taehyung's stare eventually finds Jungkook, asleep in the corner.

"So," Kyung Soo addresses Jongin. "What happened to you?"

"Well," Jongin starts, "we went upstairs, and everything was still locked, except for Jungkook's room. Then the lights came on and we saw that there was some blood on the bed and the doorknob, and some signs of a struggle. We think he was attacked in there and then ran and hid in the bathroom."
