I grimaced a little, and looked down. The water had risen a considerable rate. Now reaching upto our thighs. I looked back, and saw Nadia on Jungkook's back. It was harder for her to walk in the salty water, with an open wound. Jungkook and Hoseok and were taking turns to carry her up and throught the ship. I felt Taehyung squeeze my hands gently, glancing towards me. His expression was serious, and almost scary. It was hard to know whether he was just as scared as me. Namjoon opened another door, and we walked through it. This hallway looking quiet familiar, but I wasn't sure why. The walls here weren't burnt. And from the flashes of our torchlights, they looked bleached white. The walls on my left was made of glass, and hard to look into. 

"Wait," I heard Jungkook say. Looking back once again, I saw him stop. His face scrunched up in his confusion. The others seemed to hear his quiet voice, and stopped as well. Looking at him. "That smell..." He mumbled. His nose twitching light, as he sniffed around. I would've laughed at the action if it weren't for the fact that any unsual smell right now could mean another problem. 

"What's the smell like?" Taehyung asked.

Jungkook scrunched his nose further, sniffing more before answering, "It's... sweet."

"It's that room, Kook! I one we accidently walked into that day. Those people, the captain, they were talking about something and the captain didn't look pleased!" Taehyung added, his eyes widening a little. Jungkook seemed to think about it for a second, before his eyes and he nodded in agreement. 

"But what sme-" I stopped mid sentence. Picking up the faint sweet smell in the air. It was familiar. However, I found it hard to put my finger on me. That was until I noticed the dazed expression on Jungkook. His lips twitching slightly.

"I-It feels..." Jungkook drawled, sounding absentminded. He shut his eyes and shook his head. I looked around, and saw Taehyung having similar expression. Feeling slightly dizzy as well. Then, like switch, it struck my mind. 

Laughing gas.

But before I had the chance to tell the others about it, I heard a barely audible hissing sound. Like gas leaking. Frowning, I pulled up my shirt upto my nose, and looked around. Squinting my eyes to see in the darkness. Slowly walking around, I heard the sound increasing as I walked closer to one of the rooms. The doors were different. White, and completely metallic. They looked automatic, and had textured glass in the middle. I noticed of such door being opened slightly. Putting the torch in my mouth, I tried to pull the door open. After a little effort, it screeched open. The sweet odor increasing. I covered my nose once again, and motioned the others to do the same. Flashing my torch inside, I saw several cylinders. A hospital bed in the middle. Broken light stands. I frowned a little seeing x-ray sheets sprawled around. That was unusual, I thought. The condition of the room was horrible The lights were handing from open, possibly, live wires.

Wait... live wires. Sparks...

My eyes widen, picking up on such sparks just in time. And from the corner of my, I caught a small spark brigther than the others, and more intense.
