Hoseok: O-okay, what siz-

Woman:  LARGE! Now hurry the fuck up so I can leave!

Jimin: Why'd she cut in line? That was rude. 

(WOMAN TURNS TO THE GROUPS OF BOYS)

Woman: You dumbasses are TOO SLOW--that's why.

Namjoon: Ma'am-

Jungkook (under breath): More like bitch. 

Taehyung: Damn straight.

Jimin: Guys, don't talk so loudly-

Woman: I HEARD THAT!

Hoseok: Now, now! Ma'am, I'll ring you up your order and have it out shortly, if you could just take a seat-

Woman (glancing down at 6 boys attire): Oooh, so just because you are all in lacrosse with your fancy sticks on your shoulder bags and heavy padding you think you can talk back to me? Who do you think you fuckers are?

Yoongi: Losers. 

(TAEHYUNG NUDGES YOONGI HARD)

Taehyung (under breath): Fucking baby. 

(HOSEOK RETURNS FROWNING)

Hoseok: Excuse me! Everyone in the shop!

Woman: What is it now? I want my fucking food!

Seokjin: What's the matter, sir?

Jungkook: Isn't it obvious? (glances outside) Mother nature's an ass. 

Namjoon: Let him speak, Jungkook. 

Hoseok: I--well, there was just a tornado warning announced over the radio in the back and-

Jimin (face pales): Are you sure? An actual warning? We need to get somewhere safe!

(GROUP LOOKS TOWARDS DOORS AND SEVERAL LEAVES AND STICKS WHIP AGAINST GLASS)

Hoseok: Oooh, it looks nasty out there...this building has no basement, but the freezer is windowless--it's the safest place-

Woman: I'm NOT staying here to be locked in a freezer with you imbeciles. Get me my noodles now or I'll file a lawsuit for maltreatment. 

Taehyung: L-law-

Yoongi: Lawsuit.

Woman: Can that dumbass only say one word at a time? What a-

Jimin (fists clenched tightly): Okay please sir...get her noodles so we can take cover--I don't--I'm...UGH! Namjoon, stop looking at me like that!

(HOSEOK MOTIONS TOWARDS EMPTY SEATS)

Woman: Pah! I'll stand. Hurry up.

(HOSEOK QUICKLY DISAPPEARS INTO BACK)

Jungkook: Rude. 

Seokjin to Namjoon: Really? A lawsuit? Is that even possible under the circumstances...?

Namjoon: I don't know, she seems influential. Must be some higher-up.

Taehyung: Woah, look. (POINTS AT LAMP POST OUTSIDE) that lamp post is bending over like that girl I-

Seokjin: Taehyung, quiet.

Jungkook: Yeah, shut up. We all know the only person Taehyung's slept with is that stuffed bear from second grade-

Taehyung: JUNGKOOK! (TAEHYUNG RAISES HIS FIST)

Woman: Will you all shut up? Your voices are dreadfully annoying.

Seokjin: Freedom of speech, sorry. 

(LOUD THUNDER CLAP SOUNDS OUTSIDE)

(LOUD CRASH SOUNDS OUTSIDE; POWER GOES OUT)

Jimin: Oh no oh no oh no fuck fuck god no please-

Yoongi: Jimin. 

Woman: This is fucking great.

Namjoon: Who has a flashlight on their phone?

Jungkook: Joon, you told us to leave our phones in the car because this would be QUICK-

Namjoon: Damn it, you're right--I don't even have mine-

Taehyung: Lady, get your rich ass phone out and turn on some light!

(LOUD RAIN PELTS AGAINST STORE WINDOWS)

Woman: ...

Seokjin: Where did she go...oh, who am I touching?

Yoongi: Me.

(HOSEOK RETURNS FROM BACK)

Hoseok: Hello!? Customers, I'm sorry it's dark, I can't see where I'm going! Oh, also I have bad news-

Jimin: IT CAN'T GET w-worse than this unless-

Taehyung: Tornado?

Hoseok: Yes, well-

(SOUND OF GLASS SHATTERING BREAKS INTO THE AIR; SCREAMS RING OUT)

Taehyung: Smashed through the window like I smashed-

Jimin: YOONGI!

Hoseok: AAAAAHHHH! NO! MY STORE WINDOW! IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT!? WE NEED TO EVACUATE TO THE FREEZER!

Jungkook: How--w-where do we-?

Hoseok: FOLLOW THE SOUND OF MY VOICE! BE CAREFUL ABOUT THE TABLES, THOUGH! JUST WALK AROUND THIS CORNER, SEE THAT'S IT-

Jimin: Yoongi, grab my hand.

Taehyung (to himself): Gay. 

Namjoon: Okay, sir we are all following you!

(LIGHTING STRIKES NEARBY, ILLUMINATING THE ROOM)

Yoongi: Woman.

Seokjin: What about--oh yeah, did she leave? Where is she? I didn't see her when the lighting struck...

Taehyung: Good fucking riddance. 

Jungkook: Ow! I just tripped over a chair and-

Taehyung: No one cares Kook--OW! Fuck...look out for that tipped chair next to the counter. 

Namjoon: Got it.

Hoseok (leading group): Is everyone making it okay? I think the storm is right upon us. 

Jimin: Y-ye-yeah--I, we, we're going to be okay...right?

Yoongi: Okay.

Taehyung: Damn it, should have brought my the bag with my lacrosse stick with me to the freezer, then I could swat all this shit outta my way.

Hoseok: Sorry about that, I just had a shipment arrive and haven't put it away yet. 

Seokjin: It's alright sir, this is all awfully poor timing-

Jungkook: You could say that again.

Yoongi: That.

(JIMIN STARTS LAUGHING. FREEZER DOORS OPEN, BLASTING BOYS WITH COLD AIR)

Hoseok: Alright, we are here. This thing should fit all of us if we squish-

(BOYS MOVE INTO FREEZER)

Namjoon: It's...yeah, it's a bit tight-

Taehyung: Jimin, why don't you sit on Yoongi's lap to save space? We all know you want to.

Jimin: ...

Jungkook: Move your massive ass Taehyung, I can't fit with you here.

Taehyung: Bro, why are you staring at my ass-

Hoseok: Is everyone inside? I'll close the door.

(FREEZER DOORS CLOSE WITH A THUMP)

Seokjin: I wonder where that woman went-

Jimin: S-s-so c-cold in h-he-here...

Hoseok: Sorry about all of this, if only-

Namjoon: No, don't apologize! You can't control the weather...

Jungkook: But you can let the weather control you...?

Namjoon: Jungkook, we don't need this right now. If anything, we should thank...um, mister...?

Hoseok: You can call me Hoseok.

Seokjin: Okay, thanks Hoseok!

Yoongi: Thanks.

Taehyung: How long do we have to stay in here. My dick's going to freeze off...I kinda hoped to have kids-

Jungkook: No one wants your nasty-ass kids. 

Taehyung: Touche.

Jungkook: Wait, what-

(JIMIN CLEARS HIS THROAT)

Jimin: Yoongi says that he could hear the radio outside the door-

Taehyung: Oh, so he'll only speak coherently to you now-

Namjoon: Tae...

Jungkook: Yoongi doesn't have to speak if he doesn't want to.

Seokjin: Wow, that's the nicest thing to come out of your mouth all day...

(JUNGKOOK SCOWLS IN THE DARK)

Hoseok: So...If I may ask you...Jimin, right?

Jimin: Y-yes. That's me.

Hoseok: What did Yoongi hear about on the radio?

Jimin: Hold on. 

(SECONDS PASS IN SILENCE)

Jungkook: ...

Taehyung: You have to talk in order to communicate, you kno-

Jimin: The tornado warning's been lifted. It's only a 'watch' now.

Hoseok: Is that so? Yes!

Namjoon: That's great to hear, I was rather freezing in here. 

(FREEZER DOORS OPEN)

Seokjin: Is the power back on?

Taehyung: Do you need to ask? It's fucking pitch black Seokjin-

Jungkook: Maybe it's just pitch black to you because of your bottomless pit of a soul. 

Yoongi: Soul.

Taehyung: That's one too many of my buttons pushed Jungk-

Namjoon: Hey, let's go. No more fights.

(BOYS STUMBLE AROUND IN THE DARK, TRYING TO FIND FRONT DOOR)

Hoseok: Can you find the door alright? My eyes are sort of adjusted by now...

Jimin: Is the storm still bad out there?

Jungkook: Duh, Jimin. Do you hear the rain? It's deafening.

Taehyung: If only it could block out your annoying, whiny voice-

Seokjin: Oh! I found the door, guys, over here!

Namjoon: Wow. Nice, Jin. Thank you again Hoseok, for keeping us safe-

(LIGHTS FLASH BACK ON, MAKING ALL BOYS SQUINT)

Hoseok: No problem! Sorry I couldn't feed you all, but please--come back next week and I'll get you free-

Jimin: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH! YOONGI, IS THAT-

Yoongi: Woman.

Hoseok: What are you-

(HOSEOK GLANCES AROUND TO SPOT WOMAN LYING FACE SMASHED IN ON THE FLOOR NEXT TO THE COUNTER)
