No one spoke when the guards came in, simply rising and completing their tasks silently. Even though they worked in tandem, it was easy to see that instead of continuing with the teamwork they had honed so well, they were simply going through the motions as they struggled to get their emotions in check.
But then Jimin noticed something.
"Hyung," he said softly to their leader, a sense of urgency and unease in his tone as he stole a glance at the intruders in the room. "These guards...they aren't any we have seen before. They're smaller..."
Namjoon sighed and side-eyed the guards, ready to chastise his dongsaeng for continuing to look for a reason to fight when he noticed too. He watched for a moment before speaking again.
"Something's up," Namjoon said softly, his eyes scanning the room as he counted his members, marking each of their places in case something went wrong. Fighting or not, these men were his family. No one on the outside was going to lay one finger on any of them today. "Keep your eye on them..."
Jimin just nodded and went about his tasks, but not before warning the others of the change in guard as well.
All through breakfast the group was vigilant, watching every move the guards made and using caution when they handed in their supplies. Once breakfast was done, most of BTS went back to their individual islands, trying to get their heads right, but Jimin stayed near the door, Taehyung joining him to make sure the guards left the corridor but keeping his distance in case someone else came and Jimin needed to get clear of the door.
"The...the door!" he spat out, causing everyone's attention to snap to it.
"What about it?" Yoongi asked, his tone annoyed, unable to see the crack between it and the doorjamb from across the room.
"It's open!" Jimin exclaimed in a hushed tone. "They didn't shut it all the way!"
That caused them all to stand, Namjoon and Jin crossing the room while signaling for the others to stay back.
"What if it's a trap?" Jin asked, looking at his leader.
"What if it isn't?" Namjoon replied, fear creeping into his stomach.
"What do we do?" Jin questioned, looking back at the door.
Namjoon looked at the door as well, his brow furrowed in thought.
"We try," he said firmly, no room for argument in his tone.
Slowly reaching out a hand, Namjoon opened the door, ready to peek out when he was held back by Jin who shook his head and stepped in front of his brother, barely sticking his head out of the door as he looked one way and then the other, unable to spot a soul.
"The hallway is empty," he whispered, staying a moment longer to see what he could hear.
Namjoon popped his head out as well, observing the same thing and not hearing a sound.
