"You're too young to hate the world, Taehyung. Please calm down."

Taehyung was lying on the floor, having a full-blown panic attack. Namjoon and Yoongi were holding him down by his limbs, trying their best to keep him from moving too much, as it would disturb the delicate state of the elevator. And they were trying their best to last as long as they could before it fell to their doom.

The plan was that the firemen would come into the building, but it would take a few hours of work to be able to get through each floor and save everyone in the building. Taehyung, Yoongi, and Namjoon were the only ones in the whole structure occupying any elevator, so they were technically last to be worried about since their dangerous condition was unaware. However, as time progressed, each boy as slowly going insane from the confinement.
