Five Night's of Peril

Night Two

Night two had officially begun and the couples walked side by side to the show stage. Jungkook, Chaeah, and Jin were still in the office handling the security. Jin sat in the rolling chair and looked at the one empty chair that Song had sat in on the first night before he passed. Jin began to weep.

"This isn't right. He should be here," Jin sobbed into a whisper. Chaeah walked over to Jin and pulled him into a hug as he cried into her arms.

Song watched as Jin mourned his death from a distance; wanting so badly to tell him that everything would be fine. Because Song was okay, and he was watching closely.

The couples made it to the show stage without saying a word. It was completely silent. Nobody wanted to speak. Their minds are thinking about their dear friend who was murdered and their other friend who had gone missing. They don't even know if she's dead or alive.

Jimin and Minji walked back to the Kids Cove where they sat and watched Mangle again. Everyone else stayed at the show stage.

"It's night two, everyone," Jungkook spoke through the radio. "I'm going to be honest, the nights are going to get harder and harder as they go on. So we have to be alert at all times. It just struck 1, so we are a little good for now. But we have to be more careful, because this is the night where those withered animatronics will really come to life. And Mangle too."

Jimin and Minji both flinched when hearing Mangle, knowing that Mangle was bound to come to life soon. Minji took a deep breath. "I'm scared, Jimin..." she spoke in a whisper.

Jimin held her closer. "I know. I am too."

"Everyone's scared here though, right?" Minji asked and Jimin nodded in reply. "I would be worried for anyone who wasn't," he added.

"Do you think the outside world knows where we are?" Minji wondered. "Manager Namhyuk, or manager Seejin? How would they know where to find us?"

"I don't know, but I do know that we will return to that world. After all of this is over," Jimin assured. "Our lives can...can continue."

"But Solbi and Song are gone," Minji finally let go. "Even if Solbi is alright somehow...somewhere, Song is dead. How do we explain something like this?"

Jimin frowned, "we have more to worry about now than later. For right here, let's only focus on who we still have left."

As much as Minji wanted to argue, she couldn't.

The group of now fourteen, continued to sit in silence. Some of them already wanted to give up, and others actually wanted to beat the game and stay alive. And some, we're caught between hope and fear.

"So..." Skye was the first to speak and everyone's attention turned to him. "Um..."

The sound of Namjoon bursting into a sob, interrupted the awkward tension.

"Hyung..." Taehyung pulled him into a hug and Namjoon cried in his arms. "Solbi is gone guys. S-She's gone...we can't find her anywhere—"

"Namjoon, you don't know that," Jackson turned his body to face him. "She could be here—"

"WHERE?!" Namjoon shouted. "Where could she be...? We're on night two of this and I've looked everywhere for her!"

"What if she left the building?" Jackson asked. "I don't know," Taehyung replied. "I don't know if she's even able to do that...we can ask Chaeah and Jungkook."

"Kook, are you there?" Skye asked into the radio.

"This is Chaeah, is everything okay?"

"It's—well, we're fine. We just need to know if there is any way to leave the building."
