"You're finally here," Taehyung said happily, his weak smile making me weak in the heart. I blink to stop my tears as I was glad he was still alive but was in such a bad health condition.
Cupping his face into my hands, I wipe his tears with my thumbs as Yerim started to untie him from the ropes and tape. Jimin decided to keep on the watch, with a torchlight shining towards the tunnel.
"Taehyung, tell me if I'm hurting you because is a bit tight..." Yerim started in a struggling tone, trying to untie him. Soon, she gave up and pull out a knife from her pocket, and began to hack down the rope.
Kneeling onto the floor, I look over my shoulder to quickly grab my bag and shove it onto the floor. Zipping it open swiftly, I pull out a water bottle and open the lid. Throwing it onto the floor, I slightly stood up and lifted it to his mouth. Slowly tilting it as he drank slowly in huge gulps.
"Drink slowly, did they provide you with any water or food?" I asked and he shook his head, continuing to drink the water down. Man, that sucks. Seriously, if you want to abduct someone, at least treat them with kindness. "They didn't even let you piss either?" I questioned and he shook his head.
"They did let me piss but usually I can handle starvation by sleeping," He said and I was grateful how he finally found the energy to start talking after drinking a full bottle of water. His skin was still pale and his face all swollen but it was going to be better soon once we get him out of here.
Dumping the empty bottle somewhere in the room, I delve my hand into the bag to grab a burger that I had made a few hours ago. I waited for his hands to be slowly untied to give them to him. He happily took it and within a few seconds, the burger was gone.
"Is delicious, did you make it?" He questions, giving me his boxy smile which makes me smile back.
"Yes! Only for you because I gather you would be hungry! Would you like more? I have two more with me," I questioned him, staring at him attentively and he nodded. Delving into the bag, I grabbed the last two and passed them to him. I'm sure two more burgers wouldn't be enough, my man hasn't been eaten for six days and that's just sick.
F*cking murderers, if I was Goku I would literally pulverise them into pieces. I mean I don't even know what powers Goku possesses... but still. If I was a cannibal, I'll eat them. Like seriously, how dare they hurt someone precious like Taehyung? He's going to get traumatic memories...
The two pieces of the burger were gone within a minute and this time, there was a bit of colour on his face. But he was still in a bad condition, shivering frequently but he was managing a pretty smile at me. I decided to remove my warm jacket even though it was keeping me warm, but it was extremely cold outside and he needed it more than I do. It was okay as I still had a jumper with me
I brought it towards him and he gladly took it. With him smiling happily was enough to make me satisfied. "I honestly thought I would die... somehow lasted longer than I thought I would," He murmured, covering his body with the jacket I gave him.
"Maybe God wanted you to be alive... or luck was just on your side. Anyways, don't worry Taehyung, soon you'll experience the life of luxury once again!" I reassured him, raising two of my fists into the air and smiling confidently at him. He follow my movements and did the same, making me smile at how adorable he was.
"By the way, can you walk?" I questioned, staring down his legs as it was too dark to see if it was injured or not. He was wearing dark pants after all...
"Not really... it got beaten up badly since they assume I might loosen the ropes..." Taehyung sighed sadly, moving his legs weakly and I scrunch my nose in disgust as I stared at it anxiously.
"Alright, he's untied," Yerim murmured in a small voice, throwing the ropes somewhere in the room and standing up. I was still kneeling on the floor, scrutinising his condition to see if we can move on or not.
"Taehyung, if you're in a condition where even taking one step hurts, we can have you sit here and call the others to come for reinforcements while we call the ambulance," I suggested and Taehyung shakes his head in disapproval.
"I appreciate that you're worried about me but I'm fine. I just can't walk that fast, that's it," He answered and I nodded, giving a tight-lipped smile. Turning over to Jimin, I gestured him to come here with a finger.
"Can you and Yerim hold onto him for support? I'll lead," I asked and Jimin didn't say or do anything but just pass me his small, yellow torchlight. I thank him with a nod and then stood back up on my feet and back away to give them some space to heave Taehyung up.
Time was running fast and we possibly might not have enough time to escort him to safety. Let's just hope for the best.

8:32pm
As I push open the library door, the cold wind blasted my face, blowing my hair everywhere and giving me chills. I begin to shiver within a few short seconds but I decided to suffer in silence and think about how Taehyung must've been in much more pain with all the groaning heard while the two were dragging him.
It was such a long journey back to the library but I'm not going to complain as we successfully got Taehyung outside. Now that we have much more space, we can run freely unlike the library which was a bit cramped and dark.
"Where to now?" Jimin asked, trying to hide his tiredness by breathing heavily. Just by doing that it was obvious that he wanted to sit down and rest and Taehyung pouted at him as he felt bad. Yerim was struggling even more as she was much weaker but she had been keeping a straight face.
Both Jimin and Yerim are such legends and I smile reassuringly at them. "We'll go between building 8 and the assembly and head towards the park," I instructed them and they nodded. "You guys should go first and I'll stay at the back."
"Okay, thank you Y/N," Yerim said, grinning at me while breathing heavily. As I stood on my spot, I let them take over me as they try their best to quickly drag Taehyung.
"Take your time, take your time," I repeated in a soft tone as they look like they're dragging a car instead of Taehyung.
Between building 8 and the assembly, I shone Jimin's flashlight towards them while feeling the wall with a hand so I wouldn't crash into anything. There weren't any streetlights built between so it was quite hard to see. The path wasn't that long which was great and for once, my mind was empty. It was like blank. Normally it would be stored with questions as I'm a contemplative person who overthinks unnecessarily.
One of them was about Taehyung and it had been a very enormous one as I was very doubtful whether we can save Taehyung or not ever since the others failed three missions. But that was before because the murderers were stalking us. Now, I'm feeling much more confident as they don't know what our objective is.
As we were finally out of the alleyway, I smiled as we had twilight to guide us through the night. One more alleyway and our mission is accomplished!
"We can do this guys!" I cheered, trying to be helpful as they look like they were going to pass out anytime soon.
"Isn't it too early to celebrate, Lee Y/N?" A voice chuckled in a rough voice behind me and I could feel my happy emotions and colour draining from my face. I didn't know who the voice belong to but I just knew I was f*cked.
Slowly turning around as I try to control myself from fleeing in fright, I fiddle with the torchlight as I look up.
"Congrats!" The murderer chirped happily, clapping her hands together in sarcasm. "You found him! But sorry, I'm going to have to stop you as you're stealing our slave," With the tall elegant figure, I assume it was a girl. Her tone had dropped from high-pitch to low in a threatening way and I chew my lip nervously.
Sliding my hand towards the back, I gave the torchlight back to Jimin and he grabbed it. "You two, go escort Taehyung to the park as fast as you can but take your time if you need to," I murmured, staring attentively at the murderer to ensure she's not going to make any moves.
"We can't just leave you alone like that," Jimin whispered back which made me roll my eyes.
"Jungkook's going to go-"
"Is okay," I interrupted as I was scared they might run out of time. Since we're faced with one of the murderers, I assume the others are close and the prediction honestly scares me and my heart accelerated. "You should be worrying about Taehyung. He's in a worse condition and needs help," I turned around to smile at Jimin in encouragement. "Don't worry about me, I got this."
"You better come back alive," He muttered in annoyance as he acquiesce. I watch them leave and I turned back to look at the murderer who had been standing there with her arms cross as though she was waiting for my attention patiently.
