Nam Joon walks slowly but purposefully to the basement of the Daegu wing. Here, he approaches an apparent dead-end, but after mumbling something, he walks straight through.

Inside is a square, grey-walled room with a plinth in the middle of it. Laying on it is a man who appears perfectly still except for his chest rising up and down slowly. Seok Jin checks the drip that is feeding this patient an elixir from yesterday. Jung Kook is standing at the end of the plinth by this person's feet with a look of concern on his face. Tae Hyung is standing on the opposite side of Seok Jin, watching carefully what he is doing.

"Jin hyung, it doesn't seem to be working, he would normally wake up by now," he says with sad eyes.

"Why don't we try this potion instead? I've made it at the highest concentration possible, so we'll have to give it to Ji Min in small doses." Everyone turns around to see Yoongi walking in with said potion. Seok Jin takes it from him and pours it into the drip-feed, carefully adjusting the amount of liquid going into Ji Min's body. Everyone watches intently to see the effect of this new elixir.

"I'm worried Nam Joon, what if he doesn't wake up this time?" asks Ho Seok. "And I'm worried about the fact that the shield is losing strength day by day," adds Yoongi. He continues, "We are going to be in serious trouble if one day it's completely gone."

By now, all of the Bangtan gang have gathered themselves around the weak Ji Min.

Nam Joon rubs his temples for a few minutes, thinking hard.
