Namjoon's POV
Hovering my hand above the door of our destinated meeting place, I knocked gently three consecutive times.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

"Come in", a muffled but elegant voice that I knew belonged to Ethereal was heard from the other side.

Turning the door handle, I entered her office before shutting the door behind me, listening as it clicks shut.

"Are you ready to meet your fate?", she spoke, her tone sinister and gelid.

I was still standing body towards the door with my back facing her. However upon hearing her words, my pulse quickened, beating loudly like drums in my ears, as a cold wave embalmed me making me shiver slightly.

Turning around slowly, I was met with a pair of mesmerizing e/c eyes. At an alarmingly close distance, our faces merely inches apart.

My heart stopped, this time not of fear, but of something much more divine.
Peering into those sparkly eyes of hers made me gasps lightly as I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe.
Her eyes...
Her eyes were just so captivating, so alluring. The way they shimmer underneath the light...
Feeling myself being sucked into those beguiling orbs without warning.

Ethereal took my breath away.
The same way she does.

Despite that I couldn't even see her full face. With only those exquisite and bewitching eyes of hers that are visible. But somehow deep inside, I knew that she was undeniably and absolutely gorgeous underneath that mask.

Abruptly, I was snapped out of my trance when she broke eye contact, turning away from me as she motioned for me to follow her.

Third person's POV
"Well as both our dear leaders are conversing, we, as you've all heard have been pleasantly assigned to show you guys our area. But first, let us show you as to where you guys would be residing", 용수 spoke somehow rather sarcastically(especially at the part when he said pleasantly), before getting a harsh slap on the back of his head by none other than the oldest member of SSFIRE, 슈중.

Yoongi gave out a grunt in annoyance at the tone of 용수's voice, as the other members shuffled about uncomfortably.

"Please ignore 용수. It is our pleasure to have you all here. Please do follow us. And also, do not worry. All of your belongings have been already sent there and to your respective rooms", 슈중 smiled as he proceeded to lead the way, glancing back every once in a while to double-check if BTS was still behind him.

슈중, 슈라, 정열, 빙 and 용수 walked in front as the BTS members trailed behind them, following them out of the meeting room and into another room down the corridor.

With 빙 scanning his thumbprint, the door opened, revealing a really narrow hallway that led in only one direction. And once everyone was in, the door behind them slammed shut, immediately locked tight.

"Now listen here BTS. I want you guys to pay extra attention. Follow where we step EXACTLY. Don't play around and stay alert. I will not be responsible for you or your dumb actions", 용수 spoke in an extremely strict tone, turning to face all the remaining members of BTS.

But this time, no one bothered to stop his blunt and impolite manner. All the other members of SSFIRE nodded their heads showing their approval.
It certainly was no joke, and 용수 was definitely not kidding.

They were standing on a pure concrete floor that has no designs or tiles. Signifying that it was the safe zone.

However, following that, the flooring of the first quarter of the hallway had squared tiles of differing colours and alphabets. And right before the first row of tiles, there was an IPad attached to the wall beside them.
정열 tapped onto the device and the screen showed a wheel. It spun and randomly landed on the red option.

-

Colour: red
To pass: What is seen in the middle of March and April that can't be seen at the beginning or end of either month?

-

빙 read the question once and proceeded to hop onto the first red tile labeled 'R'. He continuously traveled across the floor and onto the other end that held the next checkpoint safe zone.

"Come on follow us carefully.", 슈라 spoke as he urged all of the BTS members.

"What happens if we step onto the wrong tile?", Taehyung asked curiously.

"Well, it depends... Would you like to find out?" 슈중 answered by retorting another question back.

Taehyung sweatdropped as he raised his hand in defense, "Nope, nope. I'm good. I'm all good."

Timeskip~

"Is this the last test?", Taehyung asked out loud for the umpteenth time that day.

In Taehyung's mind, he was praying extremely hard to every god out there to have mercy on him.
And much to his pleasure and delight, his prayers had finally been answered.

"Yes. This. Is. The. Last. Test. ALRIGHT?!", 정열 huffed out feeling completely vexed, and sick of Taehyung's endlessly consistent recurring question.

Taehyung cheered in his heart as did the other members of BTS. They were all overjoyed that they were finally reaching and that the end of their torture is in sight.

"But for this round you guys are on your own. You guys are trained professionals so I'm sure you guys won't have much of a difficulty." 슈중 spoke.

"EH?!"

"Chill guys it's just the laser beam test." 슈라 tried to calm them down.

"LASER?!"

"Have you guys not seen online movies with these kinds of lasers?" 용수 inquired scoffing slightly.

"Yeah, we have duh. That's why we're so panicky", Yoongi replied instantly, his tone too, cold.

"Yeah. In shows, once you touch the laser you get BURNED INTO CRISPS!", Taehyung exclaimed, starting to freak out with Jin placing a hand on his shoulder and back trying to calmly tame their little Tae.

"Will we really get obliterated if we by accident...you know?", Jungkook questioned softly directing the question to 빙 who seemed to be the more responsible one within the group at the moment.

"No. I don't know what movie you've been watching that reduces their victims to ashes when they touch a laser, but fret not ours just shoots out an arrow that tries to kill you", 빙 replied eerily, his face morphing into a small but grim-looking smile.

Everyone in BTS shivered at the sight while the other SSFIRE members internally facepalmed going 'There he goes again, unawarely scaring people... '

"Alright let's go then!", 슈중 cheerfully declared, feeling excited to see how BTS would fare in this section alone.

"Oh by the way, for any accidental deaths, we will not be held accountable nor responsible at all."

"What? Who says?"

"Says the agreement that your leader should have just signed."

And right on time, the phone of 빙 rang with a notification.

"Yup. It is verified. I just got a confirmation from Ethereal", 빙 announced.

Silence followed his announcement before a loud voice of the one and only Kim Seokjin slashed the air.
"KIM NAMJOON!"

-

Meanwhile~
"Achoo!", Namjoon sneezes as he rubs his nose.

"You sick?", Ethereal asked sounding rather concerned.

"Ah no, I don't think so. It feels like someone is cussing at me."

"Oh, okay. Well let's continue then."

"Right!"
