Jimin looked around and sat on the floor, the air was warm, and he felt like taking another rest. He just sat there leaning against the wall thinking. He had not even read what was on the paper, he wanted to show the boys first so they could analyze it together. He felt so happy and proud, and he knew the two princes would be too. Jimin got up and decided it was time to go. He faced the stone and placed his hand on it and waited for it to rotated but nothing happened. He tried again at another spot, unsuccessful.

He sighed and tried one more time but the stone wouldn't budge, and that's where he started to panic a little bit. He looked around making sure there he was not missing anything, and he did. There were three handles displayed on the stone. "What could this be, the exit but... " There were three handles, in no ways Jimin could move them at the same time, he wasn't that tall and they were too far away from each other. The only person that would help would be Taehyung and Jungkook, but unfortunately, they didn't know where he was.

"But are you sure this is going to work?" "Trust me, I've already used it before, and Jimin has one too if something happens." Taehyung looked back on his map, they had already gone into three different caves but none of them Jimin was in. Taehyung was perplexed and wanted to go back to make sure, maybe he hadn't heard them, or maybe something happened to him. Jungkook placed a hand on his shoulder, "don't worry, we will find him. We'll keep on looking." "Of course we will find him, yes." Taehyung laughed anxiously to cover his stress. "How close are we to the closest cave?" Taehyung looked at his map and looked back to analyze his surroundings. "I have never traveled that far, I'm not sure but probably another fifteen or twenty minutes" "alright, let's hope he is in there." "But Jungkook, what if he didn't find the cave yet, we could have missed him." "I have a feeling he did, I just am positive he did." Taehyung just nodded hoping he was right.

Jimin was now feeling more and more anxious, how was he going to tell them where he was? How were they going to know he was inside the cave? They could just come in and not see the stone and leave him in. Jimin was fidgeting with his sleeves, the only thing he could do was wait. He still had the whistle but he wasn't sure if it would work in the cave, the sound would just be trapped by the walls. Nothing outside the stone indicated that there should be three persons in, but again, if it was made on purpose it made sense.

Jimin was thinking more and more about it, but since the beginning, he was just following the voices in his head, he was just following instructions, would this mean that it was all planned, but who could have had the idea, and how were the voices in his head. A bunch of questions remained unanswered in Jimin's mind, but he was sure he would figure it out at some point, he just had to wait.

Jimin looked up and sighed, "please, Taehyung and Jungkook, come soon."

"Ok, I think we did them all, what do we do now-" "no we didn't, we still didn't go there." Jungkook pointed to the map. It was way outside the area they had traveled, maybe more than half an hour away. "But that's so far, Jimin couldn't have possibly walked that long, Jungkook let's go back to the previous caves, maybe we just missed him and now he is there, come on." "No Taehyung, we said we were going to find him-" "that's why I'm telling you we should go back and look again, I'm sure we just arrived there before he did," "no, let's go, it's our last chance, just let's go take a look, we never know." Taehyung looked at Jungkook, "you're right, if and if he is there, I will need to ask him how could he have possibly walked that far without any food in his stomach and such light clothes. Let's hurry!"

Jungkook and Taehyung picked up their pace and followed the map to their last destination, and their last chance. Even though Jungkook was not showing it, he felt anxious not to find Jimin, but he had to keep up the good face to console Taehyung. He didn't know what to expect, he just hoped nothing had happened to Jimin.
