After obtaining the map of the maze and interrogating which path she took from the ticket collector, he went inside from gate 4.
Even if he didn't have the map, with his level of Iq, it would be easy for him to pass the maze in minutes. But, he was scanning each and every corner, each and every dead end. After sometime, he came across a small cleaner's room. He twisted the knob but it was locked from outside.
He was now certain...
....She was inside.
He took a small pin out, which he often used for these purposes.
After unlocking the door and switching the lights on. He saw her figure laying unconscious near a corner.
His felt a strange ache in his heart.
Bending down, he took her in his arms and went out to completed the remaining maze.
As soon as he reached the last part, he heard foot steps nearing and voices calling her name.
He glanced at his surroundings and saw a resting bench ahead.
He placed her sleeping figure on it and left.
----
On the other side, Lisa came out of the maze shouting, " I won ! I WON" only to find all the other classmates gawking at her.
"Am I the last?"
"No you're the second last. Y/n's still inside."
"So I still WON! WON! WON!" She danced in victory.
They all scoffed at her.
"You and the 3rd last person had the time difference of 20 minutes."
"Will Y/n come out tomorrow morning?" Doosik asked, annoyed after waiting so much for her.
"She must be scared alone..." Lisa mumbled in realization.
They all laughed at Lisa's statement.
"I'm going in to look for her" Lisa stated before entering the exit of path 4.
"Wait! You'll get lost again! We're coming too."
So all the classmates rushed into the path 4 to find Minsuh and to tease her about it the whole year.
--
"There...there she is!"
Lisa rushed to the resting bench and assumed that Y/n was sleeping.
"Lisa was losing her senses being scared for her and she's here sleeping so peacefully. "
They all surrounded her.
"She has a bit of fever too...Let's just carry her outside." Lisa said, as she put her hand on y/n's forehead.
They took her outside and joined the rest of the class.
By that time, the professors had already called for a bus to escort them to the hotel because they assumed that 'the students must be tired'
-------
Meanwhile, In room 208, someone was pacing back and forth, waiting for a certain person's arrival.
"Hyung, why did he lock her in that maze? I thought he was after you...what use does he have of a college student?
Seokjin glanced at him with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Does he know who she is?"
"That could be the only reason. So, it wasn't just my father who was looking for her all these years. The rival gangs were after her too".
"Your father couldn't find her because we used to steal and replace all the leads to her but if we had known that the nightmare gang and other gangs and night tiger is after her too..."
"What's done is done... We need to make sure that they don't lay a finger on her in the future."
"Call the Seoul headquarter and ask for more people...Things are about to go down..." After discussing the plan and making a few phone calls, Jin ordered Jungkook to go sleep. But, he himself kept pacing around the room. Only when he heard the neighbours room open, did he go to his bed.
---
Next morning, Y/n woke up with a sore throat.
She looked around the room to find it all empty. Lisa must be wandering somewhere in the hotel. She sat up to get a glass of water from the side table.
Gluping the water down her throat, she thought back to what happened yesterday...the more she wondered, the more she got frustrated, as she didn't remember walking back to the hotel.
All she remembered was glimpses of herself being locked in a dark room and fainting due to anxiety.
After that, what happened? She placed the glass down on the table and went to the restroom to freshen up.
Splashing the water on her face, she recalled feeling, someone opening the door and carrying her.
At that time she felt like she was finally safe, even tho it could have been anyone with bad intention...luckily it wasn't!
She was placed down from her safe place and after that...? She didn't remember anything.
After freshening up, she went out to look for her classmates.
To be honest, she was never really close to any of them except Lisa but she had fun with them yesterday.
"So they aren't that bad...too bad it's my last year."
She entered the common hall which she felt like was now owned by her class as she always found them scatterred around the place. They were all having breakfast.
Their chattering came to a halt when they saw Y/n. They all gave glances to each other as she awkwardly walked towards the table she earlier spotted Lisa at.
She sat down with Lisa, Doo Sik and two other classmates.
"You're finally awake after your LONG nap." Lisa smiled at her.
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"I didn't want to disturb you, you must have been tired my sleepy bear" She said the last worde pinching her cheeks.
"Eeesh go get me food...I'm still sleepy"
"You slept for 12 hours." Tsking, Lisa got up and headed towards the food counter to get food for her highness.
-
Munching on chocolate pancakes, her eyes wandered around the place, all the students were staring...more like glaring at her.
"Why is everyone glaring at me?" She asked the girl sitting next to her but Doo Sik answered, "That's because you slept in the maze and we got late because of you!"
"I slept?"
"Yeah, We all were worried sick and going around the p
ace looking for you and when we finally found you, you were peacefully sleeping on one of the benches, unaware of the chaos you created."
So after all, 'it' was all just a dream...
...or was it?
After about 5 minutes, Lisa came back? But she wasn't alone. Taehyung was walking along her, with plates in both his hands.
"Can I sit here?" He asked, smiling at Y/n.
"Duh- dude it's a public place. You don't need her permission to sit anywhere. Her parents don't own the place" Doo Sik spoke before Y/n could even open my mouth.
Sending a deathly glare in his direction, she looked up at Tae again and nodded for him to sit.
He smiled and sat down on the chair in front of her.
-
While eating, she couldn't help but notice how he was not moving his left arm at all.
"Taehyung can you pass me the jam." She asked him.
He nervously glanced at her and then at the jam that was placed on his left side. Giving a small smile, he moved his left hand to reach for a glass.
That's when she noticed a long wound on his hand, probably going up his arms under the sweater's sleeves.
"What happened to your hand?"
He quickly retreated his hand under the table at her question.
"Looks like you got in a car accident."
"Huh? No, I fell in the bathroom."
"But that's not a wound you get when you slip in the bathroom"
"Nevertheless, let me pay back and treat your hand"
"No, its fine."
She was about to argue back but her words got stuck in her throat as she noticed two figures not too far away
"The elevator guy." She mumbled.
"Yeah, he is Jungkook and I don't know the man beside him, but damn he's hot too" Lisa nodded at her own words.
Taehyung looked confusedly at the girls and followed their gaze to the entrance of the hall.
He abruptly got up and excused himself to go make an urgent call.
"Weird." She mumbled.
She was too engaged in watching Taehyung run away to notice two people standing right beside her.
She looked in their direction as she heard the shorter one clear his throat.
They each took a seat in front her.
"Excuse me, someone's already sitting here. He just went to make a call." She said to the elevator guy 'jungkook'.
He looked quite unbothered.
Lisa chuckled awkwardly trying to redeem the awkward environment.
"I heard you met jungkook already, he's a very sweet guy and his...uh friend also seems to be...uh"
She tried to find some good words for the man beside him.
"Huh sweet? And him?" Y/n replied to Lisa but all this time, her eyes were glaring at the man in front of her.
She tried to find some good words him but all she could think of was "hot serial killer"
At this moment, she wondered what was wrong with her brain.
Lisa looked at Y/n and the guy, both too busy in a glaring concert, shooting sharp and deadly glares to each other.
She was impressed by her friend's new dound confidence, a proud smile forming on her lips. Then she looked at the guy glaring at Y/n...well, it seemed that's just how he looked at people.
She then looked down, too scared of the deadly aura imitating from him.
------'
"What brings you here Jungkook?" Y/n asked, showing a very forced smile.
Instead of answering, put his his elbow on the table and leaned in
."Who's the guy you were talking to?"
"Answer my question first!" She slightly raised her voice, how dare a random, hot neighbor try to intimate her.
"Watch your mouth firl." Jungkook warned her, knowing very well that his boss doesn't allow disrespect.
"Who was that guy?" Seokjin asked again, now in a cold, low voice.
She did get intimidated for a moment but she was Y/n after all, wouldn't give in even with a gun on her head.
She simple crossed her arms and leaned back on the chair," And why do you think I'll answer everything you ask."
All this while, Lisa felt like her soul will leave her body any minute. She was certain that the man was some rich, arragont business man who could hire a mafia and erase their existence from the world if Y/n kept talking like that.
So she had to do something, for the sake of her and her bestfriend's long life filled worh prosperity.
"H-he's a f-friend."
Unfortunately, she couldn't sound unaffected like Y/n, infact her voice came out like a scared cat's.
Seeing Lisa so afraid of his boss, Jungkook hoped Seokjin would just give up and walk out soon.
Fortunate for him, Seokjin did the exact. He stood up from his chair. But just before going, he walked to Y/n and he leaned over to pat her shoulders.
"Be safe." She internally cursed her heart for skipping a beat. But then again, whose wouldn't?
He straightened up, leaving for real now.
"And my name is not Jungkook!"
