Surprise update! First day for me to start working(I've got the job yay) so wish me luck(?)

A low thud sounds from a distance when the earthquake happens beneath the hills, matching the cracking noises here. Looking up towards the shuddering ceiling, which sends down tiny rocks and broken pieces of wood, Jungkook sighs. "I forgot to reset the security system."
"What?" asks the witnesses here, including me. But instead of further explaining, Jungkook stands up and walks pass his hyungs, leaving me behind. At the same time, his head lowers as he is ignoring and purposely avoiding their questioning glares. Although Namjoon looks a little angry, his expression changes though when Jungkook kicks the door open.
Before I run pass Jin and follow behind, Jin grabs my hand and stops me. "Close your eyes." But his spared hand has coverred my eyes anyway. Trust problem, maybe. In a meantime, a strong dizziness attacks my head and triggers the feeling in me to vomit. Luckily, this lasts only for half second.
"Diddy!" I open my eyes and find myself standing in another wooden house. This one is even bigger and luxurious than the previous house. There are two single beds at the end, a coffee table and two couches in the living room. On one of the couches, sits JiaQi. She looks happy seeing me here. "I was too boring until Jin-eomma decides to bring you here. I'm sorry, Dee." JiaQi apologises with both her hands rubbing and her lips pouting.
"Woah hey, who's your eomma?" Jin crosses his arms while protesting, making us chuckle.
"WenTing is going to be sad if she hears you." Ting is our well-known second mum among the seven of us. She is the most caring person who always concerns about our safeties every time when we hang out in a big group. "By the way, Jungkook has decided to send me here too. So..yeah." I shrug while adding, trying to say it in an 'I don't really care' manner.
"Come sit." I take a seat beside my friend and the three of us starts to chat. Through this, Jin tells us that he will find his soulmate after everything about Taehyung has stable. This makes me recall the time when I show Taehyung the photo of my friends and I, and how he managed to recognise them as whose soulmate a.k.a destined partner.
"Heidi?" Jin waves his hand in front of me. "Calling Heidi to Earth now." His action snaps me back from my reverie of thoughts and when the feel of reality returns, my heart beats as quick as lightning. My fingertips and toes go cold when I lose the feel of safety.
"Yea..yeah." I force out a smile to reassure them. My mind is racing and it's in a great mess. Should I tell Jin about this?
Just then, a loud and deafening explosion rumbles the ground, sending a little sand and dust down from the ceiling.
Clever goma. How couldn't I think of that?
I gasp upon the sudden ringing of Taehyung's voice in my head, as if he's been slapping me on the face. Before I can even react, I hear a silent scream comes from where my good friend is. She is holding her neck, and it looks like something invisible is choking her. "What's.happening to her?" I turn to Jin and notice his face turning paler.
"Jungkook needs help. I have to go." says Jin as he strides towards the door. "Stay here and take care of Qi." Besides, he doesn't forget to remind me this before disappearing behind the door. There is strong wind slapping violently outside, flickering the tiny lights on those plants like decoration bulbs on a Christmas tree. If those lights really need electricity, there will be massive explosions happening. Luckily, they're not.
When the door is closed, all the noises of war and battle outside are muffled, even inaudible. I turn back to my friend, she's gasping with her eyes bulge in painfulness. A little breathless coughs escape from her parted lips as I take a seat on her side and pat her on the back. "I'm sorry for can't help you anything."
JiaQi replies with a cough while shaking her head and waving her hands. "You've helped a lot here. I'm sorry for can't thanking you properly now..." Then she coughs again like a patient with lung cancer. "Water...I need water..." Her rough breathe echoes throughout the space and creeps into my brain, replaying over and over again.
"I'll go get it, wait for me." But JiaQi stops me before I can even dart away from the couch.
"Something is coming." She puts a finger in front of her lips, indicating me with her harsh whisper. But at this moment-
We're coming, Heidi-noona. Just wait a little more longer okay?
JeongGyo's voice ends with an evilly low chuckle which raises goosebumps all over my trembling body. No matter how hard I try covering my ears, I still can't get away from those voices. There is no point covering your ears if those voices are spurted out from your mind, right?
My oppa is coming for you now, unnie. Don't you dare running away if you never expected any unwanted punishment.
Migraine hits my head like waves and everything around me turns white. I grunt in pain while my body tumbles onto the ground.
"Heidi!" Although the voice is blurry when it passes through my ears, I still recognise those words she's called is my name. "...wake up..Dee..."
Don't you dare get any sleep goma! Especially now.
All the demons' threatening speeches ringing in me is suffocating. However, I manage to open my eyes and fight against my exhausted will to breathe.
Show yourself, goma. This is my first warning.
Hoseok was right, Taehyung doesn't sound like himself. He is neither an angel from Ee Chion, nor the V from BTS now. He is a devil who has just led all the demons here and destroy everything if they have a chance. He has turned into a rebel angel who is working against God.
God doesn't exist, goma. If they really do exist, I won't become a demon and just mess everything up.
Taehyung's pleading voice then fades in slight echoes in my head. My eyesight finally turns back to normal and the migraine is gone.
"Do you hear that?" asks JiaQi while her index finger points at the ceiling.
"Hear what?" Rubbing my right temple, I ask before knowing that this is the stupidest question I've ever asked this year. The sound of the wind slapping vigorously outside is unusual, as if someone is fanning frantically with a huge fan.
Whip! Whip!
At the same time, it also sounds like the angry flipping of a whip, thrashing through the air. Is it..?
Both JiaQi and me lock eyes at each other as we're thinking of the same thing now. We are presuming those noises are coming from a huge pair of flapping wings. Quietly gesturing for the way to escape with our eyes, we creep as steady as we can towards the hidden door built in this house which JiaQi is guiding me to.
"I know you're in here. Cheybai, come out now." Both of us look up when Taehyung scowls. We ignore his words and keep crawling, but faster this time. "Don't make me punish your friend just to get you alright?" Now he's threatening me. "I see everything you see. Jungkook's girl is with you. My instinct never lies so get out now." Shit, he'll never forget, does he?
JiaQi shows me her disapproving glare when I seek for her silent answer through her eyes. We end up taking turns to shake our heads as both of us just want to protect each other.
"Jaykee..." Here comes Jungkook's weak voice. "I've made sandwich. Remember to eat it okay(Use the third door)..." I don't understand what Jungkook is talking about, but I suppose this is the secret message which only JiaQi and Jungkook understands. Hence, I keep quiet.
"Okay..." JiaQi nods wearily upon Jungkook's order while grabbing my wrist. She waves her right hand up and down several times, indicating me to follow her.
