-3rd person POV-

Lisa was coming out of her room- and that is when she saw Namjoon standing in the corridor with a kind of sword -with his back facing her.

She let out a sigh- and called his name in a timid voice.

"Namjoon?"

He turns back with a jerk- as she scared the hell out of him. He then let out a sigh when he realized it was Lisa.

They both make a plan together of quelling these lurking monsters.
Namjoon gives one long thick stick to Lisa-

"Follow me" Lisa just nods in return and grabs the stick tightly and fighting spirit is evident in her eyes.

They both move forward steadily step by step and their gazes travelling everywhere.

Soon they reach near the stairs and slowly stride downwards. After covering some distance they hear someone groaning.
It was a man.

They checked all the rooms and then at the end of the corridor - was left one room.
They both looked at each other and gulped.

Namjoon knocked on the door
"Is anybody in there-?"
"Any help you need sir?"

That man- started groaning louder and they got the signal.
He opened the door and found a guy- whose body was tapped. Bruise on his cheek. And only a bit of his mouth was open- allowing him to breathe.

Lisa was bewildered seeing a guy in such a disgusting state- she internally cursed the person who did this.

They both helped that guy- removing the tape slowly- but it was no use - it still hurt him like anything and he just lamented rougher.

Tears almost made their way to Lisa's eyes, but Namjoon patted her.
"It's okay- don't worry" his eyes emitted warmth.
"Yea-" she nods and wipes her tears.

The guy his face was all covered with blood- his lips had so many bruises. He wasn't even able to open his eyes, and just slouched.

Lisa quickly went and brought a glass of water with her- and offered it to him.

He drinks as if he is drinking after a decade. He must be so thirsty- and hungry.

"Ghamsabnida" he bows a little.

"I thought I was going to die-" he said panting

"What happened?"

"A burglar- came in" Namjoon looked up at him- and was kinda shocked-?
He quickly shifted his gazes towards the tape and fully cooked ramen on the floor.
He thought something.
And damn-
He remembered a weird man JIN he collided with -near the lift earlier- had a large packet and it was full of tape.

He certainly found that man weird- but he let it slide. But now when he tries connecting the dots-something struck him.

"How long have you been like this?" Lisa asked him

"It's been a few days now I guess -" he said touching his face which was covered in blood.

"Did something happen outside? I heard strange noises-"

Both Lisa and Namjoon looked up at each other.

"You should see for yourself," Lisa thought it was the right thing-

"Okay" he slumped

---------------------

Namjoon opened the door slowly and lead them out.

"Wait" the guy said

He instantly goes back inside and brings back out a hammer with him.
Both of them glanced at each other and then the guy.

"I thought I better carry something too" he replied with a smile on his face.
This smile indeed encouraged both of them- they smile back and hastily move forward.

---------------

Down the basement Rosé and Suga with other residents sit together in a room.

"Let's live together in one place until the rescue squad comes." Said Rosé

"It's safe to be together" Suga nodded in return.

"Where will all of us go?" Some random guy asked

"The DAYCARE CENTER..." Suga said with an extremely calm and cool voice.

"It's relatively safe because it's far from the entrance" he continued.

"It will also be better to sleep there than here" someone said and everyone agreed

"I WON'T ALLOW IT-" the owner of the daycare spoke up everyone faced her.

"Who are you to say No?" Someone asked

"She's director of daycare" another spoke up-

"You scumbags! Pieces of shit-! you ignored me when I begged. Y'all are shameless- damn it-" she almost wailed.

"Your daughter probably needs someone's help too-" Rosé said hoping she would approve.

Hearing this maybe she melted- as her daughter left for her coaching the other day and all this happened. And when she requested them and even begged them to open the door - but they didn't as that was the right thing to do at that moment.

She takes a step back- and lowers her head and then suddenly move in the direction where Suga was sitting-

"That's why I am saying, I'll go. LET.ME.GO."
She said almost losing her patience.

"You can do whatever you want after I leave-"

"What about you?" Worried Suga asked her

"Are you okay with dying-?"

"Do you have a plan-?"

"There's no internet or phone service- how can you be sure where she is!?" Suga continued speaking trying to make her understand what was best for them at that moment

"Still..."

"First, you.have.to.live.!" She melts a bit and tears formed in her eyes.

"Otherwise you won't be able to find or see your daughter-" She starts sobbing- what he said was bitter- but he is saying the right thing.

"Please calm down- and help us- I'll be sure to help you later." - A young guy from the military around 24 or 25 offered her a water bottle and tried convincing her.

She looks him furiously and throws the bottle away.

"Do whatever you want!" And then she leaves the room making a loud noise from the door.

-------

Coming back to Lisa and Namjoon and the other guy-

They  found a room whose door was slightly open-

"It's open" the guy said and he quickly opens the door while Namjoon and Lisa are still behind him.

"I don't think you should see this..." he says

Lisa and Namjoon both- stand in front of the room- and look at each other-

And there they see a guy who attempted suicide by tying himself from the fan with help of rope.

Lisa is so damn shocked- It was her father- There was his guitar and a note on it which said NOW IT'S YOURS!

"Did he kill himself because the world is doomed?" Namjoon said to himself but the guy spoke-

"No, he's been dead for over a week"

"How do you know-?" Namjoon looks at him and asks-

The guy stares at him for a moment and says
"It just seems like that,no?" He swiftly turns his face in another direction.
And Namjoon joins his hands and kneels down and remembers the almighty,with his head down.

The guy stares at Lisa- which is kinda suspicious-?
