we had fallen asleep.
nothing disturbed us and no one was harmed, i guess maybe D8 is trustworthy afterall.

i woke up due to chenle shaking me awake in a panic.

"jani wake up now!" i look at him, eyes squinting adjusting to the bright light.

"jinyoung's men is outside the door, jani." and at that moment my body is lifted off the ground in a instant.

"jeno put her down!" hyuck yells at him. 

"if she isnt going to get up might as well just pick her up," he looks down at me and smiles. "is this fine or do you prefer running?"

"well-" i start.

"do you always baby her?" i look at yixuan and he stands there with his arms crossed.

"shut up." i say.

"well we need a way out and our einstein isnt thinking."

"shes not obligated to-" jaemin shouts.

"jaem, no yelling please." i ask jeno to let me down and he gently releases me. "yixuan is right, im sorry, let me think a way out."

"jani you know this isnt going to be easy," jeno puts his hand on my shoulder. "im 50% sure that mark is out there."

"why would mark impact her concentration?" jun asks.

"nothing, it doesnt matter." i quickly say. "someone hand me a paper and pen."

kenny passes a pencil and paper and i draw a rough blueprint of the building, not forgetting one exit.

"how do you know the layout so well?" taejin asks.

"shhh, she's focusing." i hear jisung whisper.

renjun comes next to me and whispers softly so only i can hear. "you dont have to hurt him, we just need to leave."

i nod at him.

"just, dont think too much about him." he squeezes my hand before backing up.

just then, a horrendous bang comes from the door.

"you can either surrender or die trying to escape." a voice projects throughout the building, coming from the intercom.

"shit!" min whispers.

"hurry up jani!" yixuan yells as he gains glares from jaemin and jeno.

"i know im trying!" i respond.

i close my eyes trying to think of the different ways we could escape without dying. then, i hear a voice inside my head.

stop trying, they have you trapped.

mark?

no, this cant be.

yes, theres a trap door below the vents. escape there.

why are you helping us?

im sorry jani, i really am. you should leave before they bomb the room. its safe, dont worry.

youre lying.

i dont want to kill you so dont make me, you have five minutes to get to safety.

my eyes widen. i scram towards the vents and move the table that was blocking the trap door.
i throw it open as the boys look at me curiously.

"theyre going to bomb the room, get in now!"

"what?" jun asks.

"dont question her, get in now!" renjun screams.

everyone runs in one by one and i shut the door tightly closed. it was tunnel that had a horrible smell, our only light source was coming through the cracks of the trap door.

"what the hell is this?" minho asks.

"im not sure." i respond.

"you dont know? why did we follow you in then!" jongin yells which earns him a slap from min.

"shush, i hear something." he says.

we quiet down.
it was small bangs coming from above followed by a loud boom.

we all instinctively duck as dust comes down, seeping through the trap door.

"run, go now!" renjun yells.

as we are running hyuck comes beside me.
"jani, how did you know this place was here?"

i look at him, slowing my pace.
"mark said to, mark said this place was safe."

"for petes sake jani!" he screams while still running.

"what, whats the problem?" jaemin yells from ahead.

"hyuck please! dont tell them." i whisper. he looks at me and i can feel the empathy radiating off him even though i could barely see him.

"uh- she accidentally stepped on my foot!"

"careful jani, lets keep moving i see a light." renjun says as he gradually slows down.

i grab hyucks hand and mouth a thank you.

"if this place puts us in a shitty situation, this will prove that he didnt care for us at all."
