     "He's in the ground below us? What do you mean?" I whisper to Jimin.

    "After I left you guys, I realized I couldn't use my power outside the bathroom. The store is small enough already and there's security cameras everywhere watching us!" Jimin gestures to the cameras on the ceiling surrounding us.

     He continues. "But in the bathroom, I realized maybe I could use the power to see what's below me. There are no cameras in the bathroom for privacy reasons."

    I nod.

    "So, using my power of being able to go through objects and wall, I put my head below the bathroom floor. And I saw a huge basement below me and a man with dark hair, blindfolded all tied up in a chair."

"That's clearly Jungkook!" I squeal in a low voice.

"Yeah there weren't any guards around him. But, I feel that my power is also getting limited just like Taehyung's," Jimin worries.

"Huh, what do you mean?" Taehyung asks.

"Well, when I saw him, I immediately thought I should just go down there and rescue him. But, as I was trying to slip through the ground it was getting more difficult for me to do so. So I went back up and I tried to go through the ground again but I couldn't. I'm just too drained." Jimin explains.

"How long do we have to wait for you to use your power again?" I ask.

Jimin shrugs. "This hasn't ever happened to me before. I've used my power a lot and I never got this tired. But here on Earth, I feel quite limited."

Taehyung nods. "I feel the same way too. But Satan is limiting me... I wonder what's limiting you?"

I interrupt him. "Alright, So we can't use magical powers. It's okay, we've used it enough. All we have to do is go down there, rescue Jungkook and we'll be good."

     "But how will we get down there?" Taehyung ponders.

   "If there is a basement, then there has to be stairs to get down there, right? So one of us has to distract the worker-"

   Taehyung interrupts me. "Alright, alright. Got it, I'll do it."

   "But we need to get her out of the store," I say.

   "Huh?" Taehyung is perplexed.

   "The store isn't even that big and we need to look in every crook and cranny for a way to get in the basement. We can't have her watching us by the side of her eye. It'll be too suspicious," I explain.

    "How will we even be able to convince her?" Jimin wonders.

    "We have to make up a lie," I say, confidently.

    Taehyung huffs and fixes his collar. "Fine, I got this."

    "Are you sure?" I grab his arm to stop him.

    "I'm Kim Taehyung, the son of a devil. Seduction and lying is in my blood."

    He walks away and speaks to the worker, Byeol. "So I'm just gonna cut to the chase. I know a huge celebrity who's willing to pay huge sums of money if you escort them into the shop."

The worker crosses her arms. "Why would I believe you?"

"Because of this." Taehyung slips out a huge wad of cash from his jacket pocket.

The worker reaches to grab the money but Taehyung holds it back. "Uh-Uh. Not until you exit the shop, find and escort them."

The worker bites her lip and ponders but finally decides to leave the shop with Taehyung. She locks the front door and Taehyung directs her to a path somewhere else.
