|Jungkook|

   Jungkook never allowed his eyes to leave the two men as one of them sat at a table in a bar and the other one at the counter. Rick poured the thinner one a drink while he introduced himself,

"I'm Dave. The scrawny looking douchebag is Tony." Dave pointed towards the bigger guy who had a hat on his head.

Tony snickered under his breath,"Eat me, Dave."

"Hey, maybe some day I will. We met on i-95 coming out of philly. Damn shit show that was." Dave smiled slightly, picking up his shot. Jungkook kept quiet and didn't say anything, only watched the interaction between the two.

Rick came back over to where Gguk was leaning against the counter, in front of Glenn and on the right side of Hershel. He stood next to him and poured himself a shot.

Jungkook didn't look away from the two men, not feeling the same vibe he received from Rick and his people. His gut was telling him that he should watch out, and his gut was always right.

Gguk's shoulders were tense and squared, his eyes were squinted into a hostile glare and his face didn't soften. Not for a second. Dave glanced up at Gguk, thinking that the boy would look away once he was caught staring. But he didn't. Dave's smile faltered slightly before he looked away, causing Jungkook to smirk.

"I'm Glenn, it's nice to meet some new people." Glenn introduced himself, wearing a small grin. The poor guy didn't even notice the tension in the room.

"I'm Rick Grimes." Rick introduced himself, finally noticing Gguk's glares.

Rick sneakily elbowed the boy, catching his attention. Jungkook looked at Rick with furrowed eyebrows, only to receiving a look in return. Gguk furrowed his eyebrows even more, his nose scrunching up slightly. Rick noticed the boy's confusion and shook his head, turning away from him.

"How about you, pal, you want one?" Dave turned towards Hershel addressing him.

"I just quit." Hershel was quick to shoot him down.

Dave smiled at him, yet Gguk squinted his eyes at it,"You have an unique sense of timing, my friend."

"Kid? How about you?" Dave's eyes shifted to Jungkook as he raised his glass towards him.

Gguk didn't look away from him as he crossed his arms over his chest and ran his tongue over his chapped lips,"I don't drink."

Dave and Gguk didn't break their eye-contact after he spoke, causing the tension in the room to rise yet again.

"His name's Hershel and this is Jungkook. We lost people today." Rick explained calmly, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"I'm truly sorry to hear that. To better days and new friends, and to our dead, may they be in a better place."

Everyone, except Hershel and Jungkook, raised their shots and downed their liquor. As Dave reached out to put his glass away, Gguk caught a glimpse of his gun in his waistband,

"Not bad Huh?" Dave pulled the gun out, causing Jungkook to straighten out his back,"Got it off a cop."

"I'm a cop." Rick stated, his face hardening.

"This one was already dead." Dave shrugged, putting it back into place.

Jungkook forced himself to relax and not show that he was as tense around the two. His gaze drifted over to Tony, and he was momentarily caught off guard when he saw Tony already watching him.

A smirk tugged on Tony's lips before he allowed his eyes to travel down Gguk's body. The boy swallowed down the bile in his throat and looked away, clenching his jaw.

"You fellas are a long way from Philadelphia." Rick commented, sitting down on a bar stool.

Tony grinned widely, answering to Rick's comment,"Feels like we're a long way from anywhere."

"What drove you south?" Jungkook spoke up, his gaze shifting between them both.

A small smirk/smile appeared on dave's face as he answered,"I can tell you it wasn't the weather, I dropped 30 pounds alone down here."

"I wish." Tony scoffed with an eye roll.

"At first it was D.C. Heard there might be some refuge camp. But the roads were so jammed, we never really got close. Decided to get off the highways, into the sticks, keep hauling ass. Every group we came across had a new rumour about a way out of this thing."

"One guy told us it was a coast guard- centre in the gulf, sending ferries to the islands." Tony had an amused smile on his face as he told the group. Gguk glanced back at Rick before he looked at Dave, deciding to keep his eyes on the two men instead.

Dave continued to speak, seeing as no one was going to stop him"The latest was a railyard in Montgomery, running trains to the middle of the country- Kansas, Nebraska."

Glenn perked up, a wide smile spreading across his face,"Nebraska?"

Tony nodded, glancing at him,"Low population, lots of guns."

"Kinda makes sense." Glenn muttered, a bit quieter this time.

"Ever been to Nebraska, kid?" Dave asked Glenn before his eyes shifted down to his hands,"The reason why they call 'em fly over states."

Dave looked back up at the group, his eyes running over them,"What about you, guys?"

Gguk didn't say anything, not wanting to put the group in danger. He bit his lower lip, chewing on it for a second before releasing it and running his tongue over it.

"Fort Benning, eventually." Rick answered after a few seconds, his facial expression calm and collected.

Dave and Tony shared a look before glancing at Rick with pitiful looks,"I'm not pissing in your confakes, officer, but um....came across a grunt who was stationed at Benning. He said the place was overrun by lamebrains."

Glenn looked up at the two with wide eyes, his expression dropping into a look of disbelief,"Wait Fort Benning is gone? Are you for real?"

"Sadly, I am,"Dave hung his head for a second before glancing back up at the group,"Ugly truth is, there is no way out of this mess. Just keep going to one pipe dream to the next, praying one of these mindless freaks doesn't grab a hold of you when you sleep." Dave mumbled dejectedly, his hand inching towards the bottle.

"If you sleep." Tony piped in, his eyes fully focused on Gguk. The boy was trying not to react to the obvious provocation tactic but Tony was really asking to be castrated.

Jungkook clenched his jaw and glared down at the dusty floor. He pressed his back harder against the counter behind him and dug his nails into his palms, trying to control his anger. But the boy was known to be quite impulsive, so if Tony provoked him enough, Gguk's gonna grab the bottle in his hand and shove it down his throat.

A small smirk tugged at his lips once he imagine Tony chocking on the bottle.

The boy looked up from the floor, towards Dave as he spoke,"Yeah, it doesn't look like you guys are hanging your hats here. You holed in somewhere else?"

"Not really." Rick spoke calmly, his face not betraying a single emotion.

Dave nodded slightly before pointing at the front of the bar,"Those your cars up front?"

"Yeah, why?" Glenn asked innocently, not noticing the direction the conversation was going. Gguk looked at Glenn over his shoulder and sent him a look with his eyes, but judging by the confusion on Glenn's face, he didn't understand.

"We're living in ours. Those look kinda empty, clean. Where's all your gear?" Dave wondered, his brows furrowing in false confusion.

Hershel spoke up, his voice stern,"We're with a larger group, out scouting, thought we could use a drink."

"A Drink? Hershel, I thought you quit." Dave let out an amused chuckle as he stared at Hershel.

"Well, we're thinking of setting up around here, is it safe?" Dave asked the group, his eyes momentarily connecting with Gguk's dark ones.

The boy shrugged before speaking,"I've been to Brooks before, not as much infected as here and the weather isn't as warm. The perfect place to settle." The lies slipped through Jungkook's teeth like butter. His face didn't give anything away as he stared right at Dave when he spoke.

"Infected? Is that what you call 'em?" Dave raised an eyebrow while a smirk appeared on his lips.

Gguk hummed as Dave nodded and looked back at Tony,"I like that, it's a lot better than lamebrains."

Tony nodded and commented yet again,"More succinct."

"Okay," Dave sent Tony an amused look,"Tony went to college."

"Two years." Tony nodded proudly, a small grin forming on his face.

Silence fell over the bar when nobody said anything. Gguk watched, slightly disturbed, as Dave and Tony continued to smile before sharing a look. The brown haired boy clenched his jaw, releasing a deep sigh before turning his gaze away from the two.

"So what.."Dave broke the silence, his eyes drifted from Tony and back to Rick as he cleared his throat and continued to speak,"So what, you guys set up on the outskirts or something? The new development?" Dave nodded to somewhere outside the bar.

Tony slowly stood up from his stool and walked towards the opposite wall,"trailer park or something?"

As Tony passed Jungkook, he allowed himself to brush against the boy. Jungkook tensed as he felt Tony's belly brush against his own stomach and he clenched his jaw when his felt Tony's fingertips brush against his arm. Tony's eyes trailed down Jungkook's body before he shot the boy a wink.

Gguk clenched his jaw and inhaled deeply, he didn't breathe for a few second before releasing his breath harshly. Jungkook licked his lip and looked towards Dave as he spoke,

"A farm?" Dave wondered, trying to get a reaction out of one of them. Dave's eyes shifted to Tony when he began to sing. Rick looked at him too, while Gguk's eyes didn't wander away from Dave,"Old McDonald had a farm.." Tony snickered under his breath once he heard the song, causing him to hum along.

Dave's head snapped away from Tony and towards Rick,"You have a farm?" He asked seriously, not a hint of smile visible on his face.

Gguk visibly cringed when he heard the sound of Tony's urine hitting the wooden tiles. He really wished the man had gone outside, yet it wasn't because of his disgusting actions. Gguk hoped that an infected would hear him and latch onto his dick, successfully bitting it off.

"Is it safe? It's gotta be. You got food? water?" Dave raised an eyebrow, his eyes staring at Glenn and Hershel, since they were the ones who showed their emotions a bit more.

"You got cooze? Hadn't had a peace of ass in weeks." Tony snickered while glancing at Jungkook over his shoulder. Rick saw this and stepped closer to the younger boy. He sent Tony a dangerous glare, causing him to stop smiling and look away.

Dave noticed this and quickly interjected before the group's leader would become hostile towards them,"Listen, pardon my friend. City kids- they have no tact. No disrespect." Dave sent Tony a pointed look, causing him to look away and finish up.

"So listen, Glen-" Dave quickly changed the subject and turned his attention towards Glenn.

"We've said enough." Rick interrupted him before he could manipulative answers out of Glenn.

Dave bit the side of his cheek and spoke quickly,"Well, hang on a second, This....this farm. It sounds sweet, don't it sound sweet, Tony?"

"Yeah, real sweet." Tony nodded, walking further into the room, towards Dave.

"Yeah, show some little southern hospitality." Dave tried to act like a kicked puppy, but Gguk saw right through his act.

"I'm from Korea, drinks in a bar is the best you'll get." Gguk spoke up, his voice cold as ice and his eyes hostile as he glanced in between the two men,"Enjoy your drink because as soon as that bottle is empty, we'll go our separate ways."

Dave clenched his jaw before he forced himself to relax and lean more into his chair,"I don't see why you can't make a room for a few more. We can pool our resources, our man power"

"I'm sorry but that's not an option." Rick quickly shot down his offer.

Tony stared at the group with wide eyes filled with surprise, before he looked at Dave for instructions. Dave pressed his tongue against his cheek as he looked down at the floor, his mind running with ways to get what he wants.

"Doesn't sound like It'd be a problem." Dave muttered quietly, swallowing thickly before looking up at Rick.

Hershel spoke up, his voice softer than Rick's or Jungkook's,"I'm sorry, we cant."

"We can't take in anymore." Rick said unapologetically, and for a second, Jungkook wondered why did he want Gguk to join them a few minutes back. Did he know that these people were not good men? Did he see that Jungkook was?

"You guys are something else,"Dave looked away and let out a small chuckle. He rubbed his forehead as he thought for a second,"I thought- I thought we were friends."

Jungkook scoffed, rolling his dark eyes in the process,"What's your definition of friends? Someone you met an hour back? If so, I'm surprised you're still breathing." The boy sent the two a vicious snare, receiving a smirk from Dave.

"We got people we gotta look out for too,"Dave looked at Rick, his eyes serious and even slightly sad,"You have no idea what'd we had to do out there. I bet you had to do some of those same things yourself, am I right?" Dave questioned. Seeing that Rick was quiet, he decided to continue his speech,"cause Ain't nobody's hands clean in what's left of this world. We're all the same." Dave finished talking yet his eyes looked into all of theirs. Gguk glared when Dave looked at him, before the boy's gaze dropped down to the floor.

After a few seconds, a smile lit up Dave's face and he visibly perked up,"So come on, let's take a nice, friendly hayride to this farm and we'll get to know each other."

Jungkook looked at Rick, hoping that this man wasn't a fool and didn't fall for Dave's mind tricks. Rick looked back at Dave, completely unfazed as he raised his glass,"That's not gonna happen."

A tiny smirk tugged on Gguk's lips at Rick's answer, making him look at Dave smugly. Dave clenched his jaw at the sight before looking at Rick with badly hidden anger in his eyes,

"Ric-"

"This is bullshit." Tony cut Dave off, his cheeks slowly becoming red in anger

Rick looked at him with a small glare, yet his voice was completely calm when he spoke,"calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down! Don't ever tell me to calm down!" Tony snapped at Rick, his eyes blazing with anger. Jungkook tensed up and slowly unfolded his arms from his chest. He pushed off of the counter, just as Rick stood up from his chair,"I'll shoot you four assholes and take the damn thi-"

"Woah, woah, woah, woah!" Dave quickly interrupted Tony before he could destroy their plans even more,"Relax, take it easy, nobody's killing anybody." Dave smiled, shooting Tony a dangerous look. He looked at Rick and patted him on the back before turning around and jumping over the counter.

Jungkook's eyes didn't leave Tony, knowing that he could blow up any second and shoot a bullet through their skulls. He quickly glanced at Rick, only to find his eyes already on him. Rick gave Gguk a look with his eyes, and this time he understood. It was hard to miss it. Rick wanted him to watch Tony while he handled Dave.

Rick turned to face Dave, while Gguk acted as if he relaxed, yet his attention was fully placed on Tony.

Dave grabbed his gun, and like a chain reaction, Rick grabbed his, Tony grabbed his and Gguk grabbed his. Dave slowly slid his out of his waistband and placed it on the counter, causing Rick to slowly let go of his gun.

"We're just friends having a drink. That's all." Dave sent Rick a fake smile, raising his hands up in surrender,"Now! Where's the good stuff? Good stuff, good stuff." Dave reached under the counter, making Rick grab his gun.

Dave smiled slightly before lifting up a bottle of whiskey,"Hey, look at that. That'll work." Rick slowly released his gun as Dave poured himself another drink,"You gotta understand, we can't stay out there. You know what's it like."

"Yeah, I do." Gguk muttered, yet his eyes didn't stray from Tony, who still had his hand on his gun. This was enough for Jungkook to keep his hand on his own gun.

"The farm is crowded as it is, I'm sorry." Rick spoke after Gguk's small comment. His eyes were piercing right through Dave's nervous ones,"You have to keep looking."

"Keep looking,"Dave chuckled bitterly, his gaze moving away from Rick's intimidating one,"Where do you suggest we do that?"

Gguk allowed himself to smirk as he glanced at Dave over his shoulder,"I heard Nebraska's nice."

Dave chuckled at Gguk's comment,"Nebraska," his eyes shifted from the boy, to Rick,"This Guy."

Dave's smile quickly slipped from his face and his eyes dropped down to his gun. Dave grabbed his gun but before he could raise it, Rick already fired his. The bullet shot Dave straight through his skull, causing his body to fall back and hit the floor.

As soon as Jungkook heard Rick pull out his gun, and saw Tony raise his own, Jungkook pulled out his knife and aimed it at Tony. He didn't even think twice before lunging forward and sinking the sharp blade into Tony's stomach. Tony let out a sharp gasp as Jungkook pulled the knife harshly to the right, slashing Tony's stomach open.

Tony's body jerked back, Gguk pulled the knife out of his bleeding stomach, causing Tony's to fall back into the wall behind him and slowly slide down. His gun fell limply by his side and his eyes became lifeless. Rick turned around and marched towards Tony's dead body, he raised his gun and shot him through the skull.

Jungkook looked away from Tony, he felt a bit lightheaded at the fact that he ended a human's life. He blinked away the shock and shakily cleaned his bloody knife against the sleeve of his jacket. A thin layer of sweat coated Gguk's skin and his vision became a bit dizzy as he tried to focus on cleaning his knife.

Even thought Jungkook didn't like Tony, he didn't want to actually kill him. Jungkook didn't want to kill anybody. Maybe it was because he thought that killing someone would destroy the last pieces of innocence he had left. Or maybe it was because he didn't want to view himself as a murderer.

And now, after taking someone's life, Jungkook felt sick to his stomach. He felt like his hands were tainted with blood that couldn't be washed away with the purest water. He felt like he was tainted for the rest of his life. Like his innocence had been shattered and a piece of him had been chipped away, never to be seen again.

Jungkook bit his wobbling lip and blinked away the tears in his eyes. He clenched his shaking hand around the handle of the knife and released a deep sigh.

Rick noticed the sudden change in the boy and came to a quick realisation that he hadn't killed anyone before. The sheriff placed a hand on Gguk's shoulder, causing him to jump at the contact and snap his head towards Rick.

"Don't think about it, you did what you had to do." Rick whispered before pulling his hand away from Gguk's shoulder.

Jungkook shifted his eyes away from Tony's dead body before giving Rick a small nod.
