"Jungkook, no! It's a trap!", Taehyung yelled, the warning words bringing Jungkook's attention back to his dear boyfriend.

Chris laughed loudly. The switch of attention lasted only a second but it was enough for Chris to start the fire thrower with a mere push of his finger. The command was instant and the consequences severe:

Fire roared down to the men outside and they scattered with screams. One police officer fell to the ground, screaming as he rolled around in the sand around the tower, trying to kill the fire burning his jacket.

Jungkook's back crashed against the door of a police car as he hid behind it. The roaring of the fire thrower sounded another time, holding them away from approaching the tower. The actor was not dumb, he knew exactly what that thing was replacing: the dragon of the fairytale.

Except this wasn't a fairytale, this was a real turned nightmare.

Chris' insane cackling sounded through the breaks between the sounds of the fire thrower. He was having fun burning them down. "This insane psycho", Jungkook cursed.

Namjoon had stayed right: they found only one corn maze in Gangseo-gu, with a tower in its middle, it was advertised as an 'adventure for young and old with the final challenge in its middle, fighting the way up to the treasure consisting of candy'.

Funny, because the advertisement was nothing like the reality.

A wave of heat engulfed them once more and Jungkook grit his teeth. He smelled burning flesh, melting metal and heard shouts of agony and screams to surrender. And then he heard Chris' demonic laughter and Taehyung's helpless cries.

Taehyung was up there, with this psycho. And Jungkook had no way to reach him.

"Jungkook", a hissed call of his name turned his attention to the police car next to him. he turned face to face with his friends, Namjoon holding the frightening figures of Jimin and Hoseok in his bulky arms, protecting them with his larger frame while Seokjin and Yoongi were pressed against the side of the police car.

Jungkook read an intention in Seokjin's eyes and he immediately shook his head. "That's a stupid idea, Hyung, you'll get roasted!", he hissed in protest. But Seokjin shook his head.

"It's the only way, and you know it. You have to save Tae, Jungkook-ah. Let us distract him. If his fire is focused on us, he won't notice you slipping into the entrance. It's on the left side of the tower", Seokjin instructed him. Yoongi to his side listened to his words before a determined expression formed on his face, equal to the one on Seokjin's face.

"We'll distract him, go! Save your boyfriend!", Seokjin shouted over the again upcoming roaring of the fire thrower. Jungkook shot him a short look. Yoongi next to Seokjin nodded, face pale.

"Go", he whispered which was the last push Jungkook needed. He didn't like the thought of his friends offering themselves as baits but what other option did he have?

"Hey Fuckface! I'm here!", Seokjin yelled and stood up from his position behind the car, waving his hands over his head. Yoongi had crawled towards the three others, telling them about Jin's plan in a rush.

"No, I'm here, Asshole!" It was Jimin to stand up and wave his hands above his head too, determined to get his best friend back, even if it meant risking his own safety.

Jungkook was so grateful for his friends, he made a mental note to invite them all to dinner when this was all over.

Then, he slipped inside the entrance to the tower.

Taehyung on the other side stared down horrified at the chaos Chris had caused. His friends were in danger, Taehyung had to do something! He was not going to watch how his kidnapper hurt his friends and his boyfriend.

"Stop! You're fucking insane!", Taehyung screamed at Chris, distracting him with his words so he could free his hands from Chris' bruising grip so he could finally stop him from activating the fire thrower over and over again.

"I'm doing this for us. So we can be together", Chris reasoned, he was so convinced that his doing was right, so deep in his fantasy that he couldn't see the brutal chaos he was causing with his actions.

"I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH YOU!", Taehyung yelled angrily, finally getting his hands free and he pushed Chris away from the fire thrower. Taehyung used the opportunity in which Chris stumbled away to stop the fire thrower, pressing his thumb heavily on the power off button.

Chris bellowed in rage, pushing Taehyung away and smacking him to the floor. Taehyung fell onto his already sprained wrist and it twisted in a weird ankle, a horrible crack being the sound to follow.

"YOU DUMB BITCH!", Chris raged, trying to turn the fire thrower back on, but the moments in which it was off had been enough for the police to invade the tower.

Chris turned to the sobbing boy on the ground, slipping out a pocket knife out of his robes. His picture didn't remind of a human anymore, it was twisted so brutally to insanity that he looked nothing like himself anymore.

Evil intentions were written on this mask of danger when he approached Taehyung. Said male scurried backwards but he couldn't get up fast enough. Chris had grabbed his ankle, throwing Taehyung back onto the floor. The male brought his broken wrist to his chest, crying in pain and fear.

"If I can't have you, then no one will", Chris seethed, his eyes comically wide and twisting. He lifted the pocket knife. Taehyung froze, staring up to Chris in shook. He couldn't move, the panic numbed his body as he face the shining knife in Chris' hands, ready to strike down.

But another body crashed into him, making Chris himself fall to the ground. It was Jungkook, now holding his arm where Chris' knife had sliced a long wound, blood already darkening his shirt.

"That's not for you to decide, bastard", Jungkook said, standing protectively in front of Taehyung who hurried to his feet, pressing his wrist against his chest. Relief washed over

"YOU WILL NOT TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME, JEONGSHAN! TAEHWA IS MINE!", Chris yelled, getting back to his feet and attacking Jungkook. The brunet stumbled when he was harshly pushed backwards, moving away a little from Taehyung.

He screamed Taehyung's name, warning him to move but he didn't have to. Chris tried to grab Taehyung again but the smaller had enough: he lifted his healthy hand and punched Chris into the face.

Chris went to the ground with a broken nose and blood streaming out of it.

Police men finally arrived at the scene, finding Jungkook kneeling next to a crying Taehyung who was nearly blacking out from pain, both injured. Chris slowly regained consciousness with a groan.

He sat up only to be tackled back to the ground before he could fully move.

"Please arrest my brother", Jackson Wang said icily, staring back at Chris who was held down by the police men, raging and kicking his legs but with no avail.

A paramedic was already tending to Jungkook's and Taehyung's wounds and Jackson finally took it upon himself to let justice decide over his younger brother.

"No more Illusions, now, brother. Your insane fantasy finds an end now."
