|Jungkook|

   Jungkook trudged through the forest, his feet occasionally stumbling over fallen branches and roots. His face was pulled into a heavy scowl as the cold air nipped at his pale cheeks, turning them a light red colour. He flexed his fingers around the dead rabbit's legs, swinging it back and forth as he walked back to the camp.

After he went off with Daryl to hunt together, the two split up and went their separate ways once again. Sometimes Daryl went with jungkook and taught him some things about hunting and tracking, momentarily distracting Jungkook from the void inside him.

Today was one of those days where he had been trying to hunt something for hours- throwing his knife or even setting up traps to capture oblivious animals, wondering through the forest. And after two hours of trying and trying, and trying, a small rabbit wondered into one of his traps.

Jungkook grumbled under his breath, his nose scrunching up as he pushed through a thick curtain of leaves. A small whoosh reached Jungkook's ears and a brush of air ran over his cheek as an arrow flew past his head and lodged into the tree behind him.

Jungkook yelped, jumping back in alarm before snapping his head in the direction the arrow came from. His wide eyes looked at Daryl with alarm,"Shit." The other hunter murmured, walking over to the boy, looking over him for injuries before grabbing his arrow and swiftly pulling it out of the tree.

"You should be more careful." Daryl scolded gruffly, turning around and walking away from a wide eyed Jungkook.

"Ex...excuse me? You're the one who almost shot me to death!" Jungkook hissed quietly, stomping after Daryl, his grip tightening around the dead rabbit.

Daryl hummed dismissively, sparing a small glance towards the rabbit in Jungkook's hand as they made their way back to their camp,"Caught that?"

Jungkook's anger washed away in a mere second as soon as Daryl questioned about the rabbit he caught,"Yes! Look! All by myself!"

Jungkook sped up so that he was waking next to Daryl and proudly showed off the rather large rabbit. Daryl hummed and gave Jungkook a small nod, "Nice. You'll get even better with time."

Jungkook beamed slightly, his heart fluttering from receiving a praise from someone he admired. Even thought Jungkook drifted apart from the group, he never managed to do it with Daryl.

The boy tried to distance himself so that it would be easier to leave, he really did, but whenever he tried to avoid Daryl and create a drift between them, it was like Daryl knew what Jungkook was doing and immediately destroyed Jungkook's plans by going on a simple hunting trip together or by giving Gguk a few praises and compliments that made the boy feel better.

The two walked in comfortable silence, used to each other's presence and relieved that there wasn't any tension between them.

They finally reached the road where the group had stopped to rest and figure out what to do now since they were running low on fuel.

As soon as Jungkook saw the group crowded around one of the cars, discussing where to go, he paused at the edge of the forest, not stepping a foot closer. He didn't feel comfortable around the other members anymore and he sure as hell didn't want to go there now that they were having a group meeting.

"Don't wander off." Daryl muttered, sending Jungkook a pointed stare, knowing full well that the boy wanted nothing more than to turn around and head off for a few more hours.

Jungkook huffed in annoyance, watching as Daryl hoisted his crossbow higher up his shoulder and marched towards the group. He turned his gaze away and focused on the rabbit in his arms.

Jungkook pulled out a small rope, that Daryl gave him a week ago, in case he actually caught something. He tied the rope around the rabbits legs and wrapped the other end of the rope to the side of his jeans, securing his pray firmly before grinning slightly at his accomplishment.

A cold breeze ran over Jungkook's skin and ruffled his dirty brown locks- his hair had grown longer and darker over the past couple of moths, Maggie stating that he was finally maturing out of the fetus stage, to which Jungkook only replied with a small huff of air.

Gguk grabbed the zipper to his jacket and quickly zipped it shut, releasing a breath of relief when he was protected from the cold breeze. He stuffed his hands into his pockets and shifted on his feet before looking back up at the group.

Jungkook noticed that some of them already walked away and began to scatter, including Rick and Daryl, who nodded the leader over and began to walk in Jungkook's direction.

Jungkook tensing was an understatement, his muscles froze and his back straightened as he watched Rick walk over. He chewed on his bottom lip, clenching his fists in his pockets as the leader and hunter finally got to him.

Rick sent Jungkook a small nod, receiving a tense one in return before the hunter lead them back into the forest.

"Where are we going?" Rick raised an eyebrow, his voice gruff with a hint of fatigue in it.

Jungkook decided to keep quiet and just trudge behind the two, watching the interaction silently.

Daryl shrugged, glancing behind him towards Rick before taking a small peak at Jungkook,"Thought you needed to clear ya' head."

Rick nodded as the three walked through the forest, looking for something to hunt. Jungkook was still tense as he walked behind them, his tongue seeming to have gone slack and not being able to form a sentence due to Rick's presence.

"Jungkook."

The said boy hummed quietly as Daryl spoke up, looking at him over his shoulder. Rick looked too, his brows furrowing when Daryl slowed down so that the boy would walk slightly next to the younger.

"Ye' plan on eating that?" Daryl gestured towards the rabbit attached to Gguk's hip, swinging with every step he took.

Jungkook bit his lip harder, allowing his eyes to quickly drift to Rick, who was walking in front of the two, not looking behind him, before nodding faintly,"I....It's more delicious when you hunt it yourself."

Daryl nodded with a grunt, a ghost of a smirk tugging on his lips as he gazed down at the doe eyed boy,"Isn't it considered cannibalism?"

Jungkook eyes grew wide and his lips parted in offence, he stopped walking and sent Daryl a sharp glare. The man smirked in return, while Rick let out a breathy snicker, turning his head to look at the two.

Jungkook huffed, his cheeks coating with a hint of red. He rolled his eyes and continued to walk, raising his hand and pushing Daryl harshly, when he was walking past the man.

Daryl's smirk immediately disappeared into a stern look and he pushed Jungkook in return, causing him to stumble and nearly fall into the wall of bushes next to them,"Respect your elders, brat."

Rick raised an eyebrow at them, standing off to the side with his arms crossed over his chest. He watched them with a hint of smile on his face, a weird contrast compared to the exhaustion filled scowl he always wore.

Jungkook's nose scrunched up and his eyes squinted at Daryl's retreating back. Sucking in a deep breath, Jungkook darted forward and smacked Daryl upside the back of the head before launching into a sprint.

The hunter was quicker- placing his foot in front of Jungkook's feet, causing him to trip and barrel forward, falling into the wall of bushes near them.

A yelp left Jungkook's throat as he fell through the thick curtain of leaves and landed on his stomach, scraping his hands as he tried to catch himself. Jungkook winced at the jab of pain in his lower belly and knee, his fingers gripping the metal underneath him tighter.

"Shit."

"Jungkook? You alright?"

Once he heard Daryl curse and Rick call out to him, the said boy looked up and glanced at the bushes behind him. He sucked in a deep breath, his attention quickly captured by the feeling of metal under his chest and palms.

"Ye...yeah! I'm alright!" Jungkook alerted his group mates so that they wouldn't have to worry anymore.

Standing up, Jungkook winced at the small throb in his palms and dusted the dirt off his clothes. He looked where he had fallen and immediately noticed train tracks leading off into the distance.

Furrowing his brows, Jungkook ignored Rick's order for him to come back to them, and walked further down the tracks. The trees next to him quickly diminished until it revealed an open space next to the train tracks. Jungkook stopped walking once he reached the open space and looked through it.

"Oh my god!" Gguk gasped loudly, his eyes growing wide at what he saw.

"You need to come here!" Jungkook called out loudly, knowing that the other two would hear him.

A few grunts and concerned questions filled Gguk's ears but he ignored them and stared at what was in front of him, a faint smile adoring his dirty face. Two pairs of footsteps filled his ears and he finally tore his eyes away from the structure in front of him, Jungkook wordlessly stepped aside and pointed towards the building he had noticed.

A concrete prison was what captured Jungkook's attention and caused a small smile to erupt on Rick's face. The walls were grey and thick, and it had a few towers lining up in front of the main building, perfect to look out from.

There was a large field surrounding the main building- perfect for gardening and growing crops, or even just walking around with no weapons strapped to your hip. A tall fence enclosed the field, creating a safe environment that didn't allow any walkers to enter.

The only problem was that the prison was overrun by walker inmates that roamed the field aimlessly. And Jungkook was sure that there would be more inside.

"That's a shame." Daryl grumbled, eyeing the field filled with walkers.

Yet Rick didn't respond. Jungkook allowed himself to turn his head and look at the leader, finally noticing the smile dancing across his lips and the determined glint lighting up his eyes.

Well shit.

Jungkook thought, turning to look back at the overrun prison that they would soon try and clear.

|Taehyung|

A deep hum filled the empty store as a male shuffled around and stuffed bottles of medicine into a dark green backpack. A hand covered in black fingerless gloves stretched out and grabbed a packed of peanuts from the front counter. The Male immediately ripped the packet open and dropped a few peanuts into his mouth, momentarily pausing the humming.

The Male smirked, leaning on the counter behind him, his black eyes dancing over the pharmacy before him.

The shelves had been toppled over, causing the few leftover medicine bottles to drop to the ground and roll away. A dead walker with a small throwing knife stuck into the side of its skull, laid across one of the broken shelves. It's limbs limp and eyes wide open, staring up at the cobwebbed ceiling blankly. Blood trickled down its head and drippled down onto the broken shelf beneath it, staining it red.

The ground of the pharmacy was dirty, covered in dirt- from all the people that had come inside, and a thick layer of dust- from not being cleaned for months. Bloodied footsteps lead throughout the store, starting from large pools of blood underneath the dead bodies of three walkers scattered around the pharmacy, and leading to the male resting against the counter, casually eating peanuts.

Stuffing another handful of peanuts into his mouth, the male pushed off of the counter and walked through the pharmacy. As he walked past the walker laying on the shelf, he reached out and swiftly pulled out his throwing knife.

A small scowl appeared on his face after seeing the blood sticking to the once spotless blade. The male bent down and wiped the blood into the body of the dead walker, smirking in satisfaction once the blade was relatively clean.

The Male straightened out, resuming his humming as he delicately placed his blade into one of the many holsters adoring his body. He wore a pair of black skinny jeans and a black, skintight shirt that wrapped around his muscles snuggly. A black bomber jacket was thrown over the outfit, hiding the shoulder holsters underneath the jacket, that had two throwing knives on each side of the male's chest. A thigh holster was snugly wrapped around the male's left thigh, holding 6 similar throwing knives and a holster was wrapped around his waist, finally holding a small gun.

The male pushed past the door, the small bell ringing above his head as he strutted outside, immediately being greeted by a dark skinned women. Her face shone with annoyance as she crossed her arms over her chest, waiting patiently. Two walkers were chained to her, growling and shuffling around, not attacking either of them.

The Male raises an eyebrow, offering the woman the packet of peanuts,"Peanut?" His deep voice was filled with amusement and false innocence as he gently shook the bag.

The woman rolled her eyes, smacking his hand away and causing a few peanuts to fly out and fall to the ground,"Seriously, Taehyung?"

Kim Taehyung- a 23 year old male who wasn't affected by the apocalypse in a bad way. Don't get him wrong, loosing his job at McDonald's and having all of his university and apartment bills disappearing was heartbreaking. But at least now he can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants. The worse that could happen is getting bitten and dying, but Taehyung didn't care about dying. He welcomed death like it was an old friend.....of course if he had friends.

A fake pout appeared on Taehyung's face as he stared down at the fallen peanuts,"Rest in peace, soldiers." He did a little bow and wiped his dry eyes as if they had tears in them.

The woman rolled her eyes yet a small smile made its way onto her face before she quickly hid it away,"Lets go, Andrea is waiting."

Taehyung stopped acting and immediately straightened out, walking next to the women. His face was blank and serious, a drastic change from the small act that took place a second ago.

"Did you gather anything useful?" The woman questioned, glancing at the taller Male next to her.

He hummed in return, a small smirk tugging at the corners of his rosy lips,"Medicine, condoms, peanuts." He shook the packet of peanuts in his hand.

"Why the hell do you need condoms?" Her face scrunched up in disgust as she eyed the Male next to her.

Taehyung smirked widely, munching on his food before sending the dark skinned woman a small wink,"Who knows, maybe I'll find myself a nice zombie girl, or guy, and fall in love." Taehyung finished off with a dreamy sigh as the two continued to walk through the abandoned town and approached the forest next to it.

The woman raised an eyebrow and didn't even bother looking at him as she shook her head,"I didn't know you were into necrophilia."

"It's only one of my kinks. Want to know the others? I can demonstrate." Taehyung purred, stepping closer to the older woman.

The woman shuddered in disgust and quickly shoved him away,"Get your horny ass away from my religious one." She sped up and walked faster as Taehyung grinned widely, running after her.

He easily caught up to her and snorted under his breath,"You know you can't escape me, Michonne."

"Unfortunately." Michonne murmured, looking away to hide the fond smile appearing on her face.

The pair had known each other for a year now. They had met when they were both in a dark place and didn't want any company, including each other's. After meeting each other, Taehyung thought that she was creepy with her two chained up walkers, while Michonne didn't care enough about him and just left.

After two weeks, the two ran into each other again but this time, Taehyung was running from a small group of walkers. Reluctantly, Michonne helped Taehyung kill all of them before trying to leave. But Taehyung wouldn't let her without telling her a small pun about the zombie apocalypse.

Michonne was unimpressed.

After a few days, the two ran into each other again. But this time Taehyung believed it was fate and followed after her, not letting her wander off. Michonne was too tired to say something so she didn't, allowing the male to follow her.

After a few months of silence or few word conversations, the two had formed a small bond. They found out each other's pasts and realised that they were a good team- understanding each other wordlessly and trusting each other enough to sleep while the other kept watch.

"Is that why you're smiling?" Taehyung taunted playfully, stuffing the remaining peanuts in his mouth before dropping the bag to the ground.

"Don't litter." Michonne scolded, her face blank yet her words light and playful.

Taehyung snorted, shoving his hands in his jacket,"It's the apocalypse, I don't think the dead would care."

Michonne didn't say anything in return and the two continued to walk in silence.

|Jungkook|

Jungkook's doe eyes snapped around, the grip on his knife not faltering as he kept a lookout for any walkers.

After finding the prison, the three males went back to the group to gather everyone before making their way over to the overrun structure. Of course everyone had agreed to try and take over the prison since it was their best option at surviving- considering Lori was 9 months pregnant.

Rick was cutting a hole in the fence, while the group crowded around him, watching out for walkers and killing any stray ones.

As soon as Rick finished cutting the holes, he called out in a hushed whisper,"Come on! Hurry!"

Jungkook kept staring out in the open, waiting patiently as Lori, Carl, Hershel and the rest slid through the cut in the fence before turning around.

"Hurry!" Rick hissed at T-Dog and Jungkook. The latter quickly slid through the small slit, careful not to cut himself on the sharp edges of the hole.

Once he was on the other side, Jungkook straightened out and went to help Daryl and Glenn, keep the hole open for Rick and T-Dog. Once the leader was inside, Daryl and Jungkook pushed the slit in the fence shut, and Glenn tied the two side together with red rope.

As soon as Glenn had finished tying the hole shut, a female walker launched at them, causing Jungkook and Glenn to jump back in alarm.

The group quickly turned away and began to run down the small isle between two fences, that separated them from the walker inmates and the ones outside the prison grounds.

Jungkook quickly followed after the group, his legs aching as he ran. Walkers launched at him, their snarling mouths wide open, showing off their rotten teeth. Jungkook cringed at the sight yet ignored the walkers as they clung to the fence, trying to push through it and bite him.

The group reached the main front gate and the entrance into the yard. It was an open space with a large gate that was squished between two watchtowers. Jungkook stopped running and breathed heavily, wiping away the sweat clinging to his forehead.

"It's perfect." Rick murmured, his eyes fleeting over the yard.

Jungkook noticed the glint of excitement and hope in the leader's eyes, causing him to furrow his brows and quickly look away. Yeah, the prison could possibly be a safe home for them, but a safe environment didn't fix a broken group.

"We need to shut the gate," Rick pointed towards the gate on the other side of the field, that separated the yard from the main building,"If we can take out these walkers, we'll have the field by the night." Rick gestured towards the walkers roaming the field and the ones gripping the fence, trying to get to them.

"But how do we shut the gate?" Hershel wondered out loud and Jungkook had to agree. The walkers were everywhere and getting to the other side of the field was nearly impossible.

"I'll do it, you guys cover me." Glenn spoke up, making everyone look at him.

Jungkook crossed his arms over his chest and frowned, looking from Glenn to the walkers surrounding the small space they were trapped in.

"No,"Maggie shook her head, interrupting Glenn before he could say something else,"Suicide run."

"No. You, Maggie and Beth draw as many as you can over there. Kill them through the fence." Rick ordered, pointing towards the right side of the field.

Jungkook perked up after hearing Maggie's words, snapping his head towards her. A small smile tugged on his lips before he quickly wiped it away and spoke up,"Ill go for the gate, I'm the fastest."

Rick's attention immediately went to Jungkook, along with the rest of the groups. They sent him looks of disbelief and shakes of head, saying that he shouldn't. But Jungkook only stared at Rick, watching the leader as he shared a look with Daryl before looking back at Jungkook, staring at him with no expression.

Rick shook his head, ignoring Jungkook's words and turning to instruct the others,"Daryl, you go to the other tower. Carol, you've become a pretty good shot, take your time, don't let amo go to waste. Hershel, you and Carl take this tower."

Jungkook scoffed under his breath and rolled his eyes at Rick's ignorance, he turned around and marched after Daryl, ignoring everyone around him. Rick's voice still reached Gguk's ears and mixed with the growls of the walkers, he clenched his jaw and tuned them out.

Jungkook swiped his knife out of its holster and gripped it tightly as he followed Daryl- the only person in the group that he could actually tolerate.

Jungkook ran up the watchtower, his nose scrunching up at the dust tickling his nose and the creaky stairs under his feet. He reached the top and pushed past the metal door, stepping onto the watch place and looking down at the field.

Daryl spared him a small glance before turning his attention back on the field. Maggie, Glenn and Beth were banging on the other side of the fence, drawing the attention of the walkers and causing them to stumble towards them. When they reached the fence, the three group members shoved poles through the fence and stabbed their weapons through the skulls of the walkers.

The main gate was pulled open and Rick slipped into the field- the gate being shut right behind him. Rick began to run through the field, the walkers creating a small path for him as they stumbled towards the noise Maggie, Glenn and Beth created.

Jungkook switched his knife with his gun and aimed it at the walkers that got closer to Rick. It was difficult to shoot from this distance, especially if the target was so small. But after a few times of shooting walkers in the neck or shoulder, Jungkook finally got a hang of it and shot them down.

Rick continued to run through the field, rapidly approaching the wide open gate. He shot down any walkers that reached him and continued to run, trusting the rest of the group to kill the ones he couldn't see.

Jungkook's eyes squinted and his jaw clenched when his anger flared again- remembering Rick's actions a few minutes prior. His grip on his gun tightened and he pressed the trigger- a bullet flying through the air and hitting the ground in front of Rick's feet.

The leader momentarily paused and looked back up at Jungkook, who's eyes had widened at his own actions before he murmured quietly,"Sorry." Daryl eyed him from the corners of his eyes, while Jungkook bit his lip, ignoring the look he received.

Rick shut the gate and locked it using some sort of weird tool, before he turned around and ran towards the watchtower next to him.

Jungkook continued to kill the remaining walkers, a small smile tugging on the corners of his lips after seeing that Rick was safe and all they had to do was kill the remaining corpses.

Gunshots rung throughout the air, walker after walker falling to the ground lifelessly. The last walker alive stumbled around, not knowing in which direction to go since the gunshots echoed throughout the field. One last gunshot filled Jungkook's ears and he watched as the remaining walker fell to the ground lifelessly.

Jungkook sucked in a deep breath, a whiff of gunpowder and blood filling his nostrils before he put away his gun and enjoyed the silence coating the air.

Gguk glanced at the group, seeing their excitement and happiness as they grinned and hugged each other, admiring the open field. Jungkook began to feel bad considering he wouldn't be staying for long- maybe a week or two. But now that he knew the group would be safe, it would be easier to leave.

"Jungkook."

The said boy hummed, his gaze not turning away from the field or the group members. Daryl sighed, rubbing his forehead as he approached Jungkook and leaned against the railing next to him.

A tense silence engulfed the two, causing Jungkook to bite his lip and glanced at a blank faced Daryl. After a few seconds of not saying anything, Daryl finally spoke,

"Rick didn't allow you to run because he was worried for you. We saw the look in your eyes when Maggie mentioned that the run could be.........suicidal," Daryl murmured gruffly, shifting awkwardly on his feet, giving away the fact that he wasn't good at emotional or deep talks.

Jungkook tensed after hearing Daryl's words, his grip on the railing tightening, causing his knuckles to turn white. He looked down at the ground below, not saying anything as Daryl pushed off of the railing and began to leave,"We're not as dumb as you think."
