   Leaves and sticks crunched under worn out boots, while soft pants and loud growls filled the forest. A blonde woman ran through the woods, trying to get away from the small group of walkers chasing after her.

A bag of guns was draped over her shoulder while a smaller bag was hanging loosely off her arm. A thin layer of sweat covered her skin, making her clothes cling to her body.

She ran a few more meters before realising she lost the group for a few seconds. Andrea quickly ducked down behind a tree and dropped the bags she was carrying by her feet. She heaved, trying to fill her lungs with oxygen before she had to run again.

She quickly pulled out a gun before digging through the sheriff's bag. A huff of frustration escaped her lips when she realised the gun was empty. Andrea threw it in the sheriff's bag before grabbing the other backpack.

The blonde pulled it open, digging through the canned food, bottles of water and Granola bars. After finding no weapons and only a black hoodie, she pulled open the smaller pockets, hoping for at least some amo.

As soon as she reached her hand inside the smaller compartment, Andrea touched something cold and metallic. With furrowed eyebrows, She pulled the small object out of the bag, revealing a small, golden pendant.

Andrea quickly grew confused, she admired the beautiful carvings on the front of the golden pendant before turning it over. Her brows drew together even more when she noticed something written in an unrecognisable language.

The sound of growls disturbed Andrea's moment of peace, causing her to quickly shove the pendant into the bag before swinging it over her shoulder.

Andrea noticed a walker trying to sneak up on her, making her pull out her knife and slam it into its skull. She spared the rest of the walkers a small glance before bending down and picking up the sheriff's bag.

A yelp left her lips as another walker launched at her before she jumped out of the way and swung the bag at it, pushing it down to the floor.

Andrea didn't waste any time to pull the bag around her shoulders and run into the direction where there weren't as much walkers.

|Jungkook|

Jungkook's lips lifted up into a small smile while his shoulder slouched in relief. He stared through the front window of the car right at the jeep in front of them.

The jeep that contained Glenn and Maggie.

Gguk's eyes traveled past the jeep and he caught the sight of Daryl and Carol riding on a motorcycle, leading the way.

They were safe and sound. Jungkook hoped that the rest of the group were on the highway because he didn't want the group to loose a leader like Rick. Honestly, he didn't want to loose anyone in the group.

Even though Jungkook hadn't spent a lot of time with the members, he was already attached to them to a certain degree. And seeing the other group members mourning the death of their loved ones made him feel uncomfortable and horrible inside.

T-Dog continued to follow after Daryl and eventually the highway came into view.

Jungkook perked up, his eyes immediately jumping around the highway, trying to spot the rest of the group.

As they continued to drive, Jungkook noticed three people hunched over behind a truck. His eyes widened before he heard Lori exhale sharply. Gguk glanced at the passengers in the car, only to see their relief filled faces and wide smiles. Jungkook, himself, felt his lips twitch up when he saw how much the group cared about each other.

The cars in front of them stopped, causing T-Dog to do the same. Jungkook immediately got out of the car so that Lori and Beth could get out and reunite with their families.

The boy watched with a small smile as Lori ran towards Rick and Carl, engulfing them both into tight hugs. Beth, Maggie and Hershel hugged each other with wide smiles on their faces and tears of relief in their eyes.

Jungkook leaned against the side of the blue truck, crossing his arms over his chest. He smiled slightly and released a deep breath of air, looking down at the ground.

The anxiety and fear in his chest had diminished and now he felt the sweet taste of happiness in the back of his throat. Jungkook was happy that they had reunited with their families and their hearts would be saved from grief. But he couldn't deny that there was a pang of bitterness mixed among the sweetness when he realised that he, too, wanted someone to care about him like this group cared about each other.

Maybe staying wasn't such a bad idea.

"You!"

Jungkook jumped and snapped his head towards Maggie, who was marching towards him with determination.

Seeing the look of confusion on his face, Maggie huffed and pointed her finger at him,"Yeah, you, fetus!"

Jungkook's eyes widened with fear and mild offence before he noticed her face twisting due to annoyance and anger. Gguk immediately straightened out and backed up against the truck, holding his arms up in surrender.

Maggie huffed angrily as she stalked towards him, a sharp glare on her face,"What the hell were you thinking- jumping into a horde of walkers?!" Maggie's accent was more prominent when she was angry, and Jungkook found that it made her scarier.

He let out an awkward chuckle, trying to mask the fear he felt inside with a nervous smile. Gguk tensed when Maggie finally reached him, thinking that she was gonna beat his ass into oblivion. But instead of hurting him, Maggie reached out and pulled him into a tight hug.

Jungkook froze, causing her to hug him even tighter. Gguk blinked owlishly, completely caught off guard by the hug. He looked over Maggie's shoulder towards the rest of the group, his expression the one of a confused bunny.

Jungkook noticed The small smiles on their faces as they watched the pair before they turned their attention away from them and began to speak with each other. Yet Jungkook noticed the way Glenn's eyes never drifted away from the two.

Gguk blinked again and looked down. He closed his eyes and savoured the feeling of someone's arms around him, hugging him tightly and reassuringly. The comfort of the soft touch was foreign after spending months with people and beings that tried to kill him.

The lack of hugs was an understatement.

"You're such an idiot,"Maggie muttered, about to pull away from Jungkook, yet once her arms began to loosen around the boy, Jungkook's arms shot up and he quickly hugged her in return.

"I'm...sorry?" Gguk whispered quietly, his eyes focusing on the dirty pavement bellow them. He tightened his arms around Maggie and inhaled sharply, getting a faint whiff of her raspberry scented body wash and a strong scent of blood and sweat.

"Was it at least worth it? Did you get what you wanted?" Maggie asked once they finally pulled apart.

Jungkook exhaled, looking away from the ground and towards Maggie's soft eyes. He stared at the specks of gold and green in her eyes, admiring the beautiful colour before softly shaking his head.

"No....I..I didn't." Jungkook mumbled miserably as Maggie nodded in sympathy and took a hold of his arm, pulling him towards the rest of the group.

Maggie looked at the crestfallen look on his face and the frown on his lips, and sent him a gentle smile,"Don't think about it."

Jungkook nodded as they rejoined the group, who were discussing something among themselves.

"-re's the rest of us?" Jungkook heard Daryl ask as he and Maggie rejoined the group.

Jungkook furrowed his brows and looked at everyone present,

Maggie

Glenn

Rick

Lori

Carl

Daryl

Carol

Hershel

Beth

T-dog

"We're the only ones who made it so far." Rick responded, turning to look at Daryl.

Jungkook looked away from T-Dog and turned towards Rick, ready to hear what the sheriff was planning after the farm was overrun.

"Shane?" Lori asked, the smile on her face slipping as she noticed his lack of presence.

Jungkook, too, realised that Shane was nowhere to be seen. Honestly, he didn't even care what happened to the guy, they didn't interact much and when they did, the experience was unpleasant. Call him insensitive but Gguk was glad that Shane was no longer with them. The guy gave him weird vibes and now that he was gone, Jungkook can admit that he feels safer and more stable in the group.

Rick shifted his gaze to the floor as he slowly shook his head, giving Lori the answer she needed. Jungkook stared at the pregnant woman as she swallowed thickly and looked away, trying to hide the pain on her face.

"Andrea?" Glenn asked, his face dropping disbelief and worry.

Carol spoke up, her voice soft and quiet,"She saved me, then I lost her."

"We saw her go down." T-Dog stated as he leaned against the blue truck.

"Patricia?" Hershel asked, his voice containing a hint of hope yet his face gave away that he already knew the answer.

Beth, who was leaning against Hershel and Maggie, shook her head,"They got her too," Her voice broke as she spoke. Jungkook's face softened when he noticed her trembling lips and teary eyes,"Took her right from me, I was....I was holding onto her, Daddy, she just..." Beth tried to swallow down the sobs and whimpers that fought to escape her lips.

Hershel and Maggie immediately latched onto her, trying to soothe her with soft words and gentle carresses. Jungkook exhaled sharply and turned away from the sight.

He visibly winced when Beth spoke again, her voice desperate and filled with grief,"What about Jimmy? Did you see Jimmy?"

Rick nodded, looking into her wide eyes,"He was in the RV, it got overrun."

Beth begin to cry before burying her face into Hershel's chest. Maggie frowned, gently patting her back as she tried to comfort her little sister.

"You definitely saw Andrea?" Carol asked, looking towards T-Dog.

Lori decided to speak up,"There were walkers everywhere."

"Did you see her?"

No one said anything for a few seconds as they pondered over Carol's question.

Jungkook glanced at Lori as she shifted on her feet and looked away, giving everyone her answer.

"I'm gonna go back."

Jungkook snapped his head towards Daryl when he spoke up. Gguk straightened out, his mouth prying open to protest as he watched Daryl swing his leg over his bike and place his hands on the handles.

"No."

Jungkook and Rick quickly spoke up, stopping Daryl in his movements.

"We can't just leave her."

"We don't really have a choice,"Jungkook spoke up, gathering everyone's attention. He crossed his arms over his chest and shifted on his feet before speaking again,"Going into that horde of walkers to find a girl, who could be already dead, is practically suicide."

"Could be, we don't know for sure." Daryl shrugged, still ready to get on the bike and drive back to the farm.

"Okay, lets say she's alive," Gguk nodded, running his eyes over the group,"Andrea won't stay at the farm, she'll keep going. If she's alive, we won't be able to find her anymore, not without loosing some of us."

Rick nodded after Jungkook spoke,"He's right, there's no way to find her anymore."

"So We're not even gonna look for her?" Glenn's lips parted in disbelief while he stared in between Jungkook and Rick.

Jungkook shifted on his feet and looked at Rick. The two shared a look before Rick spoke up,"We gotta keep moving, there's walkers crawling all over here." The sheriff pointed towards an infected that was growling while making its way over to the group.

Jungkook released a small sigh and hesitantly turned his eyes away from the infected when T-Dog began to speak,"I say head east."

"Stay out of the main roads," Daryl nodded, pulling his crossbow down from his shoulder and into his hands,"the bigger the roads, the more walkers. More assholes like this." Daryl nodded towards the walker behind Jungkook and Glenn, causing the group to turn around.

"I got 'em." Daryl muttered, raising his crossbow and shooting the infected.

Jungkook's lips parted in amazement as he watched the arrow pierce the infected's skull like it was butter. The boy glanced at Daryl, admiration shinning in his ebony coloured eyes, causing Daryl to scoff and roll his.

Glenn snickered, nudging Jungkook out of his trance. Gguk shut his mouth and hummed, watching Daryl with wide eyes as he pulled his arrow out of the infected's skull and cleaned the blood on the sleeve of his shirt.

"Woah."

Glenn released a snort and grabbed Jungkook by his arm, pulling him towards the jeep he and Maggie drove,"Come on, coconut."

"The hell did you just call me?"

   After hours of running, Andrea's body quite literally gave up on her. She stumbled into a tree before dropping the heavy bags from her shoulders. Andrea heaved and stumbled while turning around and raising her gun towards the remaining walkers.

She quickly remembered that she had run out of bullets, causing her to drop the gun and switch to her switchblade. A walker growled and snarled as it shot forward, trying to grab her, only to be pushed back and have a knife get shoved through its head.

Andrea gasped and pulled the knife out, stumbled back as her legs kept giving out due to fatigue. She faced the other Male walker, only to have it pounce on her and push her down to the ground.

Andrea let out a gasp before yelling and kicking the snarling walker into the face. It gripped her leg tighter, trying to crawl further up her body and take a bite out of her stomach.

Andrea released a grunt, raising her foot and kicking the walker in the face again, only for it to not be affected. She scrambled back trying to put as much distance between them as she could, but the walker followed her without much effort.

Andrea felt a smooth caress of the wind before the walker fell limply into her arms. She released a yelp as it's head dropped down from its shoulders and onto her chest. Andrea was quick to push the body away and scramble back before snapping her head towards the person standing over her.

The person's face couldn't be seen due to the hood covering their face. But a shiver ran down Andrea's back once she saw the two walkers shifting behind the person- jaws and arms cut off, and chains wrapped around their necks.

Andrea quickly crawling backward to put some distance between them. But as she did, her back bumped into something and her palm pressed against the front of a boot.

Andrea froze in her tracks, her face paling and her breaths stilling. Andrea sucked in a deep breath and shakily raised her hand off of the black boot. She glanced at the person in front of her, her eyes focusing on the katana in their hand before Andrea finally gathered enough courage to raise her head to look at the person behind her.

As soon as she did, her eyes widened when she saw the Male above her.

His golden tan skin was covered in specks of blood and grime, and his black outfit had some rips and blood on it. A black bandana was wrapped around his forehead, keeping his dark hair back and away from his face. The Male tilted his plump lips into a small smirk, causing his eyes to squint in the corners. His intense black eyes bore into Andrea, causing her to gulp and nearly look away,

The male licked his red lips, allowing them to stretch into a boxy grin before he spoke up,

"What does it take to become a zombie?"

The male's deep voice reached Andrea's ears, causing her back to straighten out and her eyes to widen. She stared up at him in wonder, taking in his beauty before finally registering his words.

Andrea furrowed her eyebrows, wondering if the grinning Male was threatening her. She glanced at the unknown person behind her, only to see them already shaking their head and turning away.

Andrea looked back up at the Male, her confusion growing when the male bent down slightly, allowing Andrea to get a better look at the beauty mark covering the tip of his nose.

Andrea looked into his black eyes, frowning and backing away when she saw how dark they were. She couldn't even see the irises and it was exactly what gave the Male such an intimidating vibe. Andrea gulped when he grinned even wider and without breaking eye contact, whispered,

"DEADication."
