"What do you see?" Seokjin asked Namjoon, who glanced over the rock that they were currently all hiding behind.

It took a few seconds, before he crouched back.

"I counted at least four walkers. But that's all I saw. There are no other buildings around, only a road that looks like it'll last forever, and some more bushes and trees surrounding the place."

"We can take them." Jeongguk said, nodding at Namjoon who spoke up again.

"Hoseok, if you try to go around the building, Jeongguk and I will confront them directly. Taehyung, if you can go the other way around, I'm sure we'll manage."

"And remember, do not use guns!" Jeongguk whispered, watching as Hoseok carefully made his way upfront.

Together with Namjoon, he stealthed towards the walkers, who luckily hadn't caught up on their scents yet. He heard Taehyung's footsteps go into the other direction.

Namjoon gave Jeongguk a sign, and that's when he whistled.

The walkers immediately shot their attention to the place the sound came from, hissing and screeching once they saw the two boys standing in the middle of the open road.

Jeongguk ran towards the first one, slicing his weapon through its shoulder, pulling it downwards to the side.

He watched as his boney arm got cut off, his knife nearing the other end of its body.

He smiled in victory as the creature fell to the ground, now literally cut in half.

It wasn't dead yet, but it certainly couldn't do much harm anymore. So for now, he quickly focused on the other walkers around him.

He saw one that nearly grasped on to Namjoon, but he disabled the creature before it had the chance to do so.

Averting his eyes elsewhere, he saw Hoseok kill one more.

There was only one left.

Jeongguk ran towards the place Taehyung was supposed to be, eyes widening in horror seeing the brunette tumble to the ground, grasping his leg.

Jeongguk dashed towards them, killing the walker.

He crouched down, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Taehyung? Tae!" He gently slapped his face, trying to wake the boy up.

But he didn't budge.

He picked him up in his arms, running to the front of the store.

He carefully placed him in an old, mossy plastic chair, looking back to sign the others to get here as quickly as they could.

Looking down, Jeongguk saw a huge gash on the side of Taehyung's leg. It was bleeding terribly, and it made Jeongguk freak out the worst he's ever had.

Gasps could be heard once the others gathered around them.

Jimin broke down in a painful cry, pushing his way forward to hold Taehyung's hand.

"I-is he going to die?! Is he going to turn into one of those?!" The blonde nudged his head towards the one walker Jeongguk had sliced in half, that tried to make its way towards them using just one arm and hand.

Tears rolled down Jimin's face, eyebrows scrunched up at the sheer thought of it.

Seokjin, in the meantime, had broken the glass of the shop, carefully making his way inside to see if there was anything he could use.

His eyes fell on a first aid kit. Together with the one he had in his backpack, he rushed back towards Taehyung.

He sat down on the floor, opening up both of the kits and taking out the bandages and antibacterial ointments.

He made Hoseok press a towel on the boy's leg, the material getting drenched in blood a little too rapidly.

Hoseok's hands slowly got stained too, he looked back at Seokjin with wide eyes.

Seokjin grabbed the biggest needle he could find, rumbling in each of the kits to get what he needed.

"Seokjin, not to push your buttons, but you have to hurry.." Hoseok muttered without a breath, crimson colored blood started to drip down the white-ish legs of the chair.

Jeongguk tugged on his hair strands, pacing back and fort.

Jimin couldn't stop crying and the rest of the boys could only watch in shock.

"I'm going to need to stitch him up. I'd suggest you glance the other way, it's not going to be pretty." Seokjin said, pulling down Taehyung's pants to reveal the big gash.

A painful gasp left Jimin's mouth at the sight of it, he stood up and ran into the shop since he couldn't look any longer.

"Luckily enough he passed out, if I did this whilst he was conscious, he would pass out due to the pain I'm causing him." Seokjin said, pushing the needle through Taehyung's flesh.

Namjoon hissed at the sight, pressing his eyes shut.

Hoseok ran into some other direction, puking.

Even Yoongi decided it would be the best if he'd walk away, so he slowly made his way towards the creature that still wasn't dead yet.

"Hello and goodbye you fucker." He spat, crushing its skull on the road using his own weapon.

He watched as its fingers twitched even though it was clearly dead already.

"Creep."

Jeongguk took one more glance at Taehyung, before heading in the store to find Jimin.

He found the boy slowly sliding down the counter, his back pressed against it, hands covering his face.

He hiccuped, trying to bury his face in his knees, sitting in a fetus position.

Jeongguk felt his heart tug once again in pain. He made his way towards the smaller figure, sitting down next to him.

He wrapped one arm over his shoulder, pulling him in.

Jimin fisted Jeongguk's shirt, hiding his face in his neck.

"What if he doesn't wake up again? What if he wakes up, but not as himself? What if he- what if he's gone?!" Jimin stuttered out, wetting Jeongguk's neck with his tears.

The droplets slowly made their way down, staining his shirt with a wet patch.

"Shh, it'll be alright, Jimin.. Calm down, okay? I'm sure he'll be fine.. I got you, I got you.." He mumbled quietly, secretly wiping a few tears of his own.

He bit his lip, listening as the boy in his arms took a few deep breaths, only hiccuping.

"He'll be just fine. He'll be fine. He has to be."

Jeongguk wasn't sure if he was trying to convince Jimin or himself.

This can't be Taehyung's end. It just can't. He can't be gone just like that.
