Can you cut a hole through the sheathing that is nailed on top of the rafters? Is it the roof deck? If it is the roof deck, do not disturb it. Look in the attic before doing any work.

the bathroom is below another floor. I am not too confident to cut through the sheathing, fearing that it is the heating vent or something else important.

Probably not a good idea then. If the bathroom is on the first story, how are you going to run the fan exhaust duct to the outside? How are you going to run electrical?

the fan exhaust duct is already in place, it's outside the drywall so I have to later fix them in place and cover them up with plywood.

what do you mean how to run the electrical? I just take it from the living room?
