Chapter Text
Run!
Bangtan!!!
They had shouted their intro for the next episode and they were off.
“Okay! What are we doing today?” Namjoon asked the staff.
“Probably something to do with our clothes.” Jungkook pointed out.
They were all dressed in black. Seokjin and Namjoon were both dressed in full black suits and looked dashing, they knew that their fans would go crazy over them. Yoongi was wearing black leather pants with a tucked in white shirt and Hoseok was wearing a similar outfit to Yoongi’s, except he was wearing a leather jacket. Taehyung was wearing a black V-neck (hehe that was a pun) shirt and loose black pants. And Jimin was wearing a black women’s blouse (he chose it himself), tight black jeans, and he had a black trench coat.
They all looked hot as all get out.
“We look like we are about to be in a noir movie!” Taehyung joked.
The staff started their explanation. “Today you all are going to go through a Halloween haunted house, but there is a challenge. There will be people that will try to take some of the members, but it is your job to keep all of you together and not let any of the members be taken.”
All of the members' eyes widened, this sounded intense.
“Is this going to be our Halloween episode?” Hoseok asked. “It sounds very fitting.”
“Yes, this will be our Halloween episode.” The members nodded, they always recorded their Run BTS earlier than they released them, it was about three months until October.
“You will all be going in together, but only one of you can save a person that is being taken.”
They handed out a basket to Namjoon. “Now everyone take a name slip out of the basket and that will be the person that you are to protect. Once you’ve chosen, show them to everyone so everyone knows who is being protected by who.
Everyone reached into the basket that the leader was holding and held the piece of paper in their hands.
“Okay everyone! Show your paper in 3, 2, 1!”
Everyone showed their papers to the camera and looked around at everyone else’s to see who got who.
Namjoon was to protect Jungkook
Seokjin was to protect Taehyung
Yoongi was to protect Hoseok
Hoseok was to protect Yoongi
All the members screamed at this because it is more proof that Sope is fate.
Anyways
Jimin was to protect Seokjin
Taehyung was to protect Namjoon
And Jungkook was to protect Jimin
“Jimin-ah! I’m relying on you to save me!!” Jin dramatically said and fell into Jimin’s arms. He blushed and quickly heaved his hyung up and back into his spot. If he had to save Seokjin, there would be a very small chance that he’d be able to do it himself.
On the other hand, Jungkook could pick him up and throw him across the room like a rag doll if he wanted to (and he hoped he never wanted to) so he wasn’t worried about the staff trying to take him.
But he was looking forward to sope, everyone was.
“So is this like a Five Nights at Freddy’s thing kinda?” Jin asked.
The staff nodded and the members nodded back,
and they just kinda nodded at each other for a while.
Until they all broke off into giggles and everyone laughed, even the staff.
_______________________________________
They were now in front of the haunted house and the director started the camera again.
“Okay now! Everyone remember your buddies?” The staff asked.
Yoongi and Hoseok quickly hugged each other and yelled “SOPE”, everyone laughed. Taehyung pointed at Namjoon, putting his finger right in his face, and Namjoon pointed his finger at Jungkook, but putting his arm in front of Taehyung’s face, blocking his face from the camera, everyone laughed. Seokjin dramatically fell into Jimin’s arms, but Jimin let go of him and he stumbled, everyone laughed. Seokjin quickly recovered his pride and wrapped his arms around Taehyung, who squeaked in surprise, everyone laughed
And finally Jungkook lifted Jimin up and spun him around while Jimin hit his arms and told him to put him down, everyone laughed.
“There will be clues that will be given to you to help you try and guess who will be in danger of being taken before it happens. The attack will last for 30 seconds and then the staff members will leave. If the person that was to be taken was taken by the staff, it’s a failure, if you successfully protect them and they aren’t taken, it’s a success. If you fail at all, you loose.”
The members were surprised at the high stakes game, it sounded difficult, but with their teamwork, they could accomplish it.
“There will be four rounds, four different attempts to take four different people. Only one person can protect the person that is being taken. There will not be two attempts on the same person, but they can attack the protector and the protected at separate times, and you can only protect one person at a time, so only one person can be protected each round before the attack, then anyone can be protected during the attack.”
The members nodded, they fully understood the game now.
“If you succeed in keeping everyone safe, you will receive a reward, if you fail, there will be no punishment and there will be no reward.”
“Okay guys, we can do this. Just keep one eye on your person and this should be fine.” Namjoon said.
“Will you tell us when the attack will happen?”Jimin asked.
“There will be a big timer on the wall that will show you how much time there is until the next attack.”
The members nodded.
“Okay let’s get strategic.” Yoongi started. “We need one person to watch the clock at all times and the rest of us will figure out the clues.”
“This is stressful.” They heard Jin mutter from the back of the group.
“Okay, so because I don’t want to think today, I’ll watch the clock.” Yoongi smartly remarked and smiled at the other members complaining.
“Okay then, I guess Yoongi is watching the clock. Make sure you stay by your person at all times!” Namjoon said.
“Okay are we ready?”
“Let’s go!”
“Start the clock!”
The boys opened the door, tension was very high. When they entered, the lights were dimmed and it was difficult to see.
It looked like the were in a movie, there were crates and boxes packed into the corners, shelves and cabinets, so many places for a clue. There was a large red LED clock on the wall that showed that they had 5 minutes until the attack, which caused all of the member’s hearts to speed up.
They all scurried over to the potential hiding places for a clue. Opening the cabinets, searching on top of the shelves for a paper, rifling through the boxes, and Yoongi sat down in the middle of the room and watched the clock, he was doing well at his job.
Namjoon and Jungkook were searching through the boxes, up-ending them and searching through the clutter in each of them, then inspecting the box itself thoroughly, then chucking it across the room because it was no longer needed.
Jimin and Seokjin were searching through the cabinets, prodding and looking around for any secret drawers or cubbies.
Taehyung was currently on Hobi’s back reaching up to feel the top of the shelves for a clue, and when he gasped and grabbed something from the top of it, Hoseok jumped and almost dropped him.
“I found it! I found it!!” He yelled as Hoseok slowly lowered him down.
“What does it say?” Namjoon inquired and they all ran over to Taehyung.
“Umm… well it doesn’t say anything, it just shows colors.”
“What?”
Tae turned the paper around to show everyone, and there were seven different colors, side to side.
Black, Purple, Red, Blue, Pink, Green, and Yellow.
“Is this supposed to be the order in which they would try and take us?” Namjoon suggested.
“But what if it’s this way?” Taehyung turned the paper around on its other side. “Or this way?” He turned it over so the colors were top to bottom, and turned it again. “We have no way to tell which way it’s supposed to be.”
The members groaned, this was going to be harder than they thought.
“Guys, two minutes left!” Yoongi announced. The members were still quite jealous that their job was not to sit on the ground and watch.
“Okay we just need to guess, there’s no other way of telling.” Jungkook turned over to the staff, “Is there only one clue per room?”
The staff nodded, so this is the only clue that they would get.
“Okay, so the colors are probably the colors of our microphones.” Namjoon reasoned, “So they're probably going to go after either Jimin or Yoongi.”
Seokjin, the ever protective hyung, physically pulled Jimin closer to him, Yoongi seeing this and pouting, causing the others to laugh.
“Should we go with Yoongi or Jimin then, there’s no way to tell.” Seokjin reasoned.
“Rock paper scissors?” Jungkook suggested.
“Really? You think that’ll help?”
“Sure let’s try it!”
Jimin walked over to Yoongi, who was still sitting on the floor.
Rock
Paper
Scissors
Shoot
Jimin threw rock and Yoongi threw paper. Yoongi jumped up and threw his hand in the air, he let out a little “woo!” Jimin pouted his lips and dramatically flopped onto the ground.
The other members laughed at the antics, until they heard Yoongi gasp and yell.
“Guys there’s ten seconds left!”
All of the member’s heads snapped to the clock

Hobi ran over to Yoongi and wrapped his arms around him, the other members were standing still, not sure what to do, you could only try to save one person before the lights went out.

The members held their breath, they were genuinely scared.

A bloodcurdling scream echoed across the room.
The scream was not Yoongi’s…
It was Jimin’s
