WHAT SHE TOLD ME REMAINS IN MY HEAD, to keep myself from falling apart the moment I lead the way up the silent, empty stairs. Everything around me—the shadows residing every step and the moonlight streaking through the windows, they give off an eerie energy at the same time as they are now accompanied by the cold, evening breeze that sweeps past our flown hair. Soon the door in front of us comes into view, illuminated by the fire shifting like a pounding heart.

I'm about to lay my hand on the knob, a certain feeling of hesitation filling inside of me when the Doctor's vague voice whispers insidiously inside my head, sending a wave of numbness over my back wherein the bullet has dug into.

"Yoongi."

Returning to my senses, I inhale sharply and turn around to (Y/N), her eyes showing a hint of worry and Taehyung, who keeps on peeking behind anxiously. "Sorry, kind of spaced out for moment." I glance at the door. "You ready?"

"This is for them. Remember that." (Y/N) draws her sword, my eyes landing on it. Somewhere near the hilt on the blade, I catch the symbol of omega engraved on it, being illumined by the moonlight and yet, I only noticed it now. I'm sure I didn't see it before. She sends me a nod. “Come on, open it.”

“Right." I lick my chapped lips while turning back towards the door, feeling the cold ornament beneath my palm and then turning it—

“Wait!”

“Aish, what now?” I whip my head around in irritation, only for my eyes to widen to see another door swung open beside Taehyung. (Y/N) also seems shocked by the sudden sight. "Did you open that, Taehyung?"

He nods, turning to the doorway to which the light coming from the moon seeps into. “I just put my hand on it cause I thought it was a wall. How come there's a room here? It doesn't make sense.”

I thought about it for a moment, recalling back to the corridors and floors we passed before getting here. If it's just a storage room, then it would justify the 'hidden door' as a bluff. "Did you see him?"

"Yeah, he went here. I'm sure of it." Taehyung eyes the door behind me which leads to the rooftop. "That one might be a trap."

"So where do we go?" (Y/N) shifts her foot uncomfortably before turning to the stairs below. "They'll sense us here if we don't move soon. I'm with Taehyung."

Staring at the two of them, I have no other choice but to heave a sigh and step forward as Taehyung backs away. The darkness welcomes me as soon as I enter the doorway after scanning the area for any traps that could've been set up, only to find a vast floor stretching out to unknown darkness. My brows furrow, wondering how the fire isn't enough to lighten up a storage room.

"Is there anything?" (Y/N) asks from behind. I turn my head over my shoulder, gesturing a slight shake of my head as a no which makes her frown.

"No. But the room itself's suspicious." I turn back, walking forward step by step to raise my hand for the ceiling to be lit. "Seems huge. Something isn't right."

"Then we've got the right lead." I hear the door behind me close shut, making me turn to see (Y/N) and Taehyung following behind, their faces now unseen through the dark except for their presence brought by the fire warming up the cold room. She beckons for me to move onward, so I turn away from them, looking from left to right to find for any signs of the Doctor. I have no idea how much time has passed, when I make out dimmed figures in the dark against the walls before nearing to them. It turns out there are a set of shelves and cabinets lined up the walls, a makeshift bed wedged between a table stuffed with scattered papers on top and a nightstand.
