7 black men were sneaking outside on XXXX Mental Hospital. It was 8 PM and the night was still young. They never waited for midnight but instead, they insisted to do it early. No one could really understand why Jimin chose 8 PM.

"Uhm. Why am I here again?" Namjoon asked in displease.

Jimin, who was wearing a black mask that seemed like he's a thief or any sort of criminal, turned his gaze to Namjoon. "Coz we're friends! What are friends for?"

"Friends helps each other-"

Jimin cut his answer, "EXACTLY!"

"But in a good way!" Namjoon finished what he was supposed to say, sighing heavily.

Jin cleared his throat, "Oh c'mon. Guys? We should be in this together. We need to save our friend at any cost!" He told them in a warm voice, putting his arms accross Namjoon's shoulders.

"YOU!" Someone in a distance shouted. "ALL OF YOU MEN IN BLACK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! HUH?! SNEAKING?!"

The boys turned their heads to the source of the roaring voice. It was the security guard of the hospital.

Oh shit, Jimin cursed on his mind.

"RUN!" Yoongi shouted uncharacteristically.

With that signal, the six of them ran away from the security guard who was running after them like they were chased by wild bears and big horns. The guard called more of them and now, they were running after the boys who were frantically running away from them.

Minutes had passed and the boys thought they have seemed to lost them.

Hoseok, who was panting heavily, said, "I... I t-think... we lost them..."

"Oh no you did not!"

By surprise, South Korean Cops were in front of them. It turned out that the security guards called for a back-up and that was them, the police.

"It was them sir! Arrest them!" One of the guards, who was also panting heavily, told the cops.

"What?" Namjoon whispered as the cops were handcuffing their hands. "Why do I always have to be right?" He said in defeat, realizing that he jinxed it earlier before they were been chased.

"Why are you six so stubborn?! You're going to debut for crissakes! You're staining your name! You don't want to debut, do you?" Bang Sihyuk scolded them agitatedly.

When they were just in the Police Office, Bang Sihyuk, they're C.E.O. and also their producer, came and rescue them from being jailed. Fortunately, he came there on time and had an excuse that his boys were shooting a film. At first, the cops did not believe on his alibi but Bang Sihyuk get through it.

"아니-" Namjoon was cut off by the C.E.O.

[REVIEW: Ani means No.]

"Then what could be the reason?! You risked your future career just for that excuse! What will happen if this would leak to people if you'll going to debut? Huh? You did not just risked your lives but also your company!" Bang Sihyuk enunciated boldly.

The boys scratched their nape as they felt guilty of what they did, especially Jimin who was the mastermind of the scheme.

It's not our entire fault. Well maybe partially, but the point is it is not our fault!,Jungkook innocently thought on his mind.

"But we need to save our friend!" Hoseok accidentally spilled the tea, making Yoongi, who was actually sitting beside him, poked him automatically.

Oh damn, Yoongi just cursed on his mind while the others just facepalmed.

Bang Sihyuk raised an eyebrow, showing his confusion. "I'm sorry? Friend? What friend?" He asked skeptically.

The boys swallowed anxiously. "Uhm..." They all murmured.

"Uhm what?"

Jungkook took the chance to answer for his hyungs, "Kim Taehyung. He's our friend and a patient in XXXX Mental Hospital. We suspected that the doctors and the nurses have been mistreating our friend."

"Well how can you say that? And what illness has your friend got?" Bang Sihyuk said as he crossed his arms against his body.

Jimin inhaled first before answering, "It's a Pyromania, a mental illness that makes people have a strong desire to set fires. We have suspicions though. First, when I went to XXXX Mental Hospital, the doctor prohibited visitors to visit our friend. Second, we consulted Namjoon's stepbrother named Jackson, a medical hotshot oncologist which specializes in human cancer, if Pyromania was that really dangerous and he said it was not. He also said that it's weird for a hospital that won't allow people to visit a patient especially the patient doesn't have a contagious disease," He swallowed as he looked on his hands. Jitteriness was obvious in his face.

"And third, someone called Jungkook early as 3 AM claiming that he has something to report about our friend. But after that, the call just ended without saying what he was supposed to say or report. Taehyung was there in the hospital so it was obvious that he's a nurse there in the said Hospital," Jimin paused for awhile and looked at his boss. "You know what I mean," He continued.

"Hmm..." Their C.E.O. hummed. "That Taehyung... Does he really mean to you?" He asked.

The boys all looked at each other. Confusion was evident on their faces. They faced Bang Sihyuk and nodded.

Bang Sihyuk cleared his throat. "Okay. Then that's settled. The company will help you and your friend to investigate this case. After your suspicions are proven, you have to focus on your debut and make sure this case won't affect your debut and the company. Am I making myself clear?"

And with that, a feeling of euphoria roamed their entire system, quirking the corners of their lips upward. "감사합니다!" The guys said as they bowed themselves to their C.E.O.

[REVIEW: Kamsahabnida means Thank You!]

"Just go and take a rest. It's very late and you need to take care of your body and your health. We will discuss this matter again next day. I still have paperworks to do," Bang Sihyuk instructed.

The guys thanked him again before they went out. They couldn't believe it. The company were willing to help them. It was just too good to be true for them.

Taehyung. Just hang in there. We're definitely going to rescue you...

As late as 12 AM in the midnight, Jin was still awake. He was playing something on his iPad when suddenly, a ring from his phone stopped him from playing. Who could it be?

He didn't bother to say anything and just wait for the caller to call him instead. He was just too lazy to speak.

"Hello sir?" The caller called Jin.
Basing from the caller's voice, it was owned by a formal man.

"Yes Mr. Hsu? Any updates?" Jin replied back.

"Yes sir. Can we meet at your house? I'll show you the confidential things I have discovered," the caller, who turned out to be Mr. Hsu (the one that Jin hired to investigate the hospital and Taehyung) asked a permission.

"Why of course! Meet me there in 30 minutes. I'll be there in a jiffy," Jin said, hanging up the call as he stood up from laying on his bed while wearing a playful smirk on his face.

XXXX Mental Hospital. You are bound to fall soon...
