An eerie silence stood in the room.


The remaining students, Chan, Mina, Taeyong, Victoria, Mark, and Siyeon stared back at Hwasa very cautiously and anxiously. Weapons were not drawn just yet but the fingertips slightly kissed the black leather band of the dagger.

Hwasa knew this interesting group of students were very headstrong and were tense by Hwasa's peculiar yet menacing presence. They sense fear easily like lions.

Hwasa simply smiled at the group of students. "Well, you guys are the last group to go next so please line up!" Hwasa announced confidently.

Mark was the first who stood from his desk followed by Chan. They both exchanged looks for a quick millisecond and focused on the women and Taeyong who stood up from their desks as well.

Mina stood close behind Chan to where Chan could feel Mina's trembling breath on the back of his neck.

Taeyong was at the end looking out for each and every one of them like an overseer.

"Remember to solve the riddles correctly and be on guard." Hwasa reminded them all before opening the door.

They all nodded silently. Mark watched Hwasa slowly open the door. The cool air hugged Mark's body as the hallway was dimmed with fluorescent lights in a light shade of blue. The hallway was long and wide enough for a group of six students. Ahead, a dark brown wooden door stood at the end of the hall.

Mark slowly entered the hall. Once Taeyong finally entered lastly, Hwasa closed the door behind them. Taeyong immediately grabbed the doorknob and jiggled it. "It's locked." He muttered.



Hwasa held up her silver band bracelet to her mouth. "He's in," Hwasa smirked.

"Good." Dongwan's deep voice ranged Hwasa's earpiece.



"Fuck this experiment! I'm not going!" Siyeon shouted, folding her arms across her chest.

"We have no choice." Victoria walked in front of Mark, leading the way.

"I agree with Siyeon. This experiment sounds very sketchy." Mina said.

"I," Taeyong stood close to Mina, uncomfortable as ever. "do not like tight spaces. So we're moving."
