|Jungkook|

   A soft breeze ran across the empty fields, dancing through leaves and tall grass until it reached the boy standing in front of Hershel's house. The breeze ran over his exposed arms and ruffled his caramel coloured locks, making him shiver due to the cold.

The sun had long set, the only light coming from the bright moon in the sky. Jungkook's head snapped up once he heard the sound of multiple footsteps and Randall's shallow breathing.

Rick, Shane and Daryl were guiding Randall towards an empty barn, while the boy was spitting out question after question.

Jungkook ran towards them, quickly catching up. Daryl heard him coming, making him look over his shoulder and shoot Gguk a glare. The boy slowed down once he was walking next to rick, causing the leader to stop walking and look down at him with a raised eyebrow.

"What is it?"

"I'm coming with you." Jungkook spoke fiercely, his dark eyes piercing Rick's blue ones.

"Jungko-" Rick started, slowly shaking his head.

The boy knew where this conversation was going, making him cut rick off and speak yet again. He stepped closer to the older man and lowered his voice,"I voted for him to die. I'm going to be there and look him in the eyes as he takes his last breath."

Rick kept quiet, only stared down at Gguk with a blank expression. Shane rolled his eyes and marched up to the two, glancing in between them,"Rick." Shane spoke firmly, shaking his head.

"Let's go." Rick ignored him and turned around. He grabbed Randall again and continued to walk to the barn.

Jungkook looked towards Shane, only to catch him already glaring back at him. Shane's eyes squinted in distrust before he scoffed in Gguk's face and turned around, walking after the other three.

Jungkook released a deep exhale and tried to ignore the way his heart pounded in his chest. He quickly caught up to the group as they pushed open the barn door and entered it.

"Hold on, hold on, hold on!" Randall kept repeating, looking at Rick with pleading eyes.

Rick ignored him and pointed at the middle of the barn,"Put him over there."

The sheriff lit and placed a lantern somewhere in the room, providing enough light to see inside the barn. Jungkook walked behind Daryl, watching as Shane wrapped a cloth around Randall's eyes, preventing him from seeing anything.

"It's all gonna be over soon." Shane muttered in Randall's ear before stepping away from him.

Jungkook stepped further in the room, his feet carrying him over hay and dust before he stopped right in front of Randall. The latter was crying loudly, small 'no's' leaving his cracked lips.

Daryl was standing behind Randall on the right, while Shane stood behind him on the left. Rick took out his gun as he walked up to stand in front of the Randall, to Jungkook's right.

Jungkook's heart was pounding in his chest and his hands were trembling, causing him to squeeze his fists shut until his fingernails dig into his skin.

Rick loaded his gun before looking at the sobbing boy. He stared at him for a few seconds before speaking up,"Would you like to stand or kneel?" Rick asked, trying not to think about what he's gonna do.

As he listened to Randall's sobs and whimpers, Jungkook's head started to feel hazy and his skin gained a thin layer of sweat. He couldn't believe he would be responsible for killing a defenceless person. He couldn't believe he was about to witness Randall being shot to death.

Randall was shaking, his breathing was sharp and shallow as he tried to look around, yet the blindfold prevented him from doing so. His forehead dripped with sweat and his lips wobbled as whimpers escaped his throat,"No, no, please, please."

Daryl walked up to him and harshly pushed him to his knees, making Randall wince and cry out in pain,"Ow."

Jungkook swallowed thickly, not being able to turn away from the, now, fully sobbing boy. Guilt and remorse bubbled up in his stomach, travelling up until it reached his throat. Jungkook felt sick, his throat tightened, making him feel like he was about to throw up.

"Do you have any final words?" Rick asked, shifting from foot to foot as he gazed down at Randall.

The boy continued to sob and cry, his breathing quickening. He barely managed to push out his words due to all the sobs leaving his throat,"No, please, please don't, don't."

Jungkook's own breathing grew more shallow as he watched Rick raise his gun and aim it at Randall's forehead. Gguk stopped breathing, his eyes frozen on Randall's trembling body as Rick held a gun against his forehead. Jungkook bit his bottom lip, digging his fingernails into his palms even more as he tried to prepare himself for the gunshot.

Rick hesitated, his eyes staring at a sobbing Randall. He gripped the gun tighter, his lips parting as he slowly exhaled. Rick's finger almost didn't seem to move as his mind began to question his own decision.

No one seemed to notice a small body entering the barn and looking at the scene in front of him. That is, until he spoke up,

"Do it, dad, do it!"

Jungkook snapped his head towards Carl, who was staring up at Rick with cold eyes. Gguk's brows drew together and his lips parted in shock at what the boy was saying. Jungkook shook his head, allowing a cold mask to fall over his expression, hiding the disbelief he felt inside.

Rick's eyes widened slightly before they shifted away from Randall and towards Carl's direction, and after a few second they fell on Shane. The latter quickly got over his shock and marched up to Carl.

"Are you kidding me? What I say to you? What'd I say to you?" Shane muttered lowly as he grabbed Carl by his arm and pulled him out of the barn.

Jungkook's eyes shifted from the two before focusing on Rick. He noticed the way His hand began to tremble and his expression fell. Jungkook stared at Rick's facial expression and the doubt clouding his eyes before his arm fell to his side.

Jungkook inhaled sharply and spared a glance at Randall, who was sitting on his knees, sobbing pitifully.

Rick glanced at Carl and shook his head, he turned away to look at Randall,"Take him away." Rick muttered under his breath before raising his voice,"Take him away."

Shane stopped walking and looked back at Rick in surprise, Carl, too, looked up at his dad, his eyes wide and his lips parted.

Jungkook stared at Rick with wide eyes and raised eyebrows, his fists unclenched and his shoulders relaxed at Rick's words. Gguk felt the guilt in his throat wash away like the dirt that once covered his skin. The weight on his shoulder disappeared and his mind became clear.

Daryl marched up to Randall and commanded in a gruff voice,"Get up." Before pulling him up to his feet.

Shane clenched his jaw and turned around, slamming the barn door open in anger and stomping away. Daryl pulled a whimpering Randall out of the barn, leaving behind the Rick, Carl and Jungkook.

Rick stared at Carl, his face covered in disbelief and slight pain. Carl stared back, his eyes shinning with innocence and confusion, not understanding what he did wrong.

Carl turned around and ran away, back to the house. Rick's gaze dropped down to the floor as he placed his gun back into place. The leader's emotions were numbed and his mind was blank as he tried to push past the wall of shock gathered around his mind like a thick curtain of fog.

Jungkook noticed the conflicted expression on Rick's face, causing him to bite his lip and think of what to say. Jungkook allowed Rick to process what just happened before he calmly walked up to him, stopping next to him.

"Rick." Jungkook muttered softly, trying to catch his attention. Rick licked his lips, exhaling sharply before looking up at Jungkook, his expression hard. Jungkook stared at him for a few second before mumbling softly,"You shouldn't be ashamed that you weren't able to end someone's life."

Jungkook's eyes were focused on the campfire in front of him, the heat coming from the fire bit at his pale skin, scaring away the cold

Jungkook's eyes were focused on the campfire in front of him, the heat coming from the fire bit at his pale skin, scaring away the cold. The black jacket Maggie gave him kept him warm and safe from the cold night's air.

After the whole ordeal with Randall, everyone came back to the camp. Rick went to talk to his wife, Lori, while Carol invited Jungkook to sit down at the fire and warm up. After a few minutes, Rick joined him and sat down on the chair next to him with Lori by his side.

Jungkook's mind kept flashing back to the events that have happened these couple of days and truth be told, he was overwhelmed.

Gguk's mind was slowly shutting down, being filled to the brim with unnecessary thoughts, and his eyes began to droop, too heavy to stay open. His head tilted forward and once it began to fall, Gguk snapped his head back up and looked up at Lori, who was trying to hide a smile.

The bunny looking boy leaned more in his chair and allowed his head to lean back against it. His eyes slowly shut and his breathing slowed. Jungkook felt warm as the heat from the fire caressed his skin and the silence in the camp gently kissed his ears.

Out of nowhere, A blood curling scream shattered the peaceful atmosphere, causing Jungkook to jerk awake and freeze in his spot. His eyes grew wide as the screaming continued, piercing his ears and pounding against his skull.

Jungkook jumped up to his feet, along with Lori and Rick. Gguk turned towards Rick, not knowing what to do. The latter told Lori to get Carl before pulling out a knife and pushing it into Jungkook's palm,

"Take this," Rick muttered quickly before turning around and shouting at T-Dog,"T,Dog, grab the shotgun!"

Jungkook glanced down at the knife in his hand, only to stare down at his own knife. The last time he'd seen it was when Rick asked him for his stuff.

A soft breeze ran across Jungkook's skin as Rick ran past him, causing him put the knife away and run after the leader.

Jungkook's muscled ached and his breathing grew heavy as he followed after Rick. The screams tore through the air, successfully guiding Jungkook towards the person in danger. Gguk squinted his eyes, trying to see through the darkness as he ran through the open field, closer and closer to the loud wails.

Jungkook noticed flashlights shining a bit away from him as others ran in the same direction, trying to help the screaming person. Gguk pushed forward, ignoring the heaviness in his legs and the shallow breaths escaping his chapped lips.

"Help! Over here!"

Daryl's voice pierced through the field, Jungkook squinted his eyes and noticed his him raising his arms and flailing them in the air, trying to get their attention.

Rick and Jungkook picked up their speed and ran faster. They quickly reached Daryl and the person laying on the ground, Rick slowed down and dropped down to the floor.

As soon as Gguk saw who was the person on the ground, he visibly paled and stumbled back as if someone had backhanded him and called him a bitch.

Dale.

He was laying in the middle of the empty field, moonlight shining on him, illuminating his body. Dale's stomach was ripped open, blood gashing out and guts visible to everyone. Pain filled moans escaped his lips, and his eyes were blown wide open with shock and pain.

"Alright..alright....just...just listen to my voice....listen to my voice." Rick leaned over Dale's body, grabbing his face in between his hands, trying to keep him awake.

Jungkook felt sick, bile rose up in his throat, making him gag before his hand to flew up to his mouth to prevent himself from throwing up. He adverted his eyes to the ground as Shane and Andrea reached Dale's body.

Andrea gasped and fell down to the ground. Her mouth fell open in shock and tears immediately found their way into her eyes. Dale's eyes tried to stay on Rick or Andrea, but they seemed to go dull and unfocused after a few seconds.

"Get Hershel!" Rick shouted, glancing over his shoulder.

Jungkook swallowed down the bile in his throat and looked behind them, towards the people running over to them,"W..we need Hershel!" He shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the field.

Rick stumbled up, looked over the group, trying to find Hershel. Andrea crawled over to Dale and looked down at him with teary eyes and soft smile,"Hang on, Dale. Just hang on."

Rick turned back to Dale, trying to catch his attention,"Look at me, Dale, stay awake" Dale stared up at Rick with wide eyes, the only sound leaving him were gasps of pain and whimpers.

"Hershel!" Jungkook cupped his mouth and screamed again.

Glenn and Lori finally reached the group, immediately freezing in their spots once they saw Dale. After a second, Hershel reached them and looked down at Dale.

"What happened?" He asked with wide eyes.

Jungkook turned back to look at Dale, his mouth falling down into a frown. Dale was laying motionless, not moving an inch as he kept releasing shallow gasps. Hershel looked down at Dale, analysing his wound.

"Can...can we move him?" Rick asked, looking into Hershel's eyes.

Hershel shook his head grimly,"He won't make the trip."

"We have to do the operation here." Rick mumbled lowly before looking up at the group,"Everyone, get back to the house!" He stumbled up and pointed at the house.

"Rick!" Hershel grabbed his shoulder, stopping him from doing anything else. Rick's eyes shifted to Hershel, watching as the latter slowly shook his head. Hershel's face was grim and his lips were pulled down into a straight line, giving Rick the answer he needed.

"No, no, NO!" Rick shouted, turning around the circle and gripping his hair anxiously. Jungkook visibly winced from his reaction and turned his gaze towards his dirt covered boots.

He chewed on his bottom lip, making it ache and bleed a bit, Gguk released his lip and ran a tongue over it. His nose scrunching up as he finally noticed the metallic scent in the air before it ripped through his nostrils.

Andrea broke down in sobs, tears streamed down her face as she leaned over Dale's groaning body. Glenn's face scrunched up in a grimace and a few tears escaped his eyes. Everyone around shifted their eyes away, allowing tears to flow freely and small cries to leave their lips.

Jungkook didn't know Dale, not like these people, but he did know that Dale was a good man and he didn't deserve this fate. Dale was right, this world was disgusting and cruel, it ripped away a good man, leaving a hole in the hearts of those who knew him.

Dale continued to choke on his breaths, his face scrunched because of all the pain he was in. His eyes rolled back in his head and his body trembled, the only sound leaving him were whimpers and groans.

"He's suffering." Andrea murmured, her eyes swollen and red. Jungkook looked up at Rick, knowing that they can't leave Dale to die in agony.

"Do something!" Andrea turned around and screamed, thinking the same thing as Jungkook.

Shane turned his eyes away, running a hand over his face. Jungkook watched with parted lips and sympathy as Rick shakily pulled out his gun and reluctantly raised it to Dale's head.

"Oh god." Andrea gasped, her teary eyes shifting away from Dale and her hand flying up to cover her mouth.

Rick's hand shook and his eyes teared up as he gazed into Dale's eyes. He gripped the gun tighter, trying to be strong and pull the trigger, but his body wasn't cooperating. Dale looked at Rick, choking on his own shallow breaths, awaiting for death and the end of his misery.

Jungkook bit his lip, sucking in a deep breath as Rick's face fell and his lower lip began to wobble, his arm slowly lowered before another hand reached out and took the gun out of Rick's palm.

Rick snapped his head towards Daryl in surprise, yet still allowed him to take the gun. Jungkook shakily reached out and rubbed Rick's back in comfort as his head hung low in grief and shame.

Gguk swallowed thickly before clenching his jaw, his eyes slowly drifted over to Daryl once he knew that he was ready for what was about to come. The latter kneeled down next to Dale and put the end of the gun against his forehead.

Dale looked up at Daryl, his face twisting into acceptance as he choked on his own blood. For a second, Jungkook noticed a silent understanding and mutual respect pass between Daryl and Dale. Daryl hesitated for a moment before murmuring in a soft voice,

"Sorry, brother."

Jungkook flinched and averted his eyes as a loud gunshot pierced his ears.
