"A walker attacked you. It came out of nowhere. You should really thank Taehyung, if it wasn't for him, that fucker would've gotten the chance to bite you. You're damn lucky."

Jeongguk took a few deep breaths, trying to steady himself.

"Where are we now? Where are the others? What a-"

Yoongi rolled his eyes, pressing his handpalm against the younger's mouth.

"You talk too much and ask too many questions. The others are out to get food. At least, some of them are. Your savior decided to linger around, and Jimin was way too afraid to go out once we found this safe place, so for now, all we can do is wait."

Jeongguk peeled Yoongi's hand off, wiping his mouth with the back of his own hand shortly after.

"How long have I been passed out for?"

The sight of Yoongi counting on his fingers, pretending as if he was thinking way too hard made him gulp but also roll his eyes at the same time.

"You've been out for- two days. Two? Yeah. Two days."

Eyes bulging out of his sockets, the boy screamed.

"WHAT?! TWO DAYS?!"

What the fuck?!

"Shut up. We finally found a place without walkers but if you continue like this, that won't be for long."

Jeongguk zipped his mouth shut, after asking one last question.

"Can you perhaps get Taehyung for me? I want to thank him. I'm still feeling dizzy, otherwise I would've gone to him myself."

Yoongi nodded, standing up and leaving the room.

The room.

Now that he was alone, conscious, he looked around.

He was in a white bedroom, on a rather big bed. It was comfortable.

There was one big window he could look outside of, if he turned his head. His eyes gazed over an open field, trees surrounding it.

It wasn't long before the door bursted open, a very worried looking Taehyung rushing inside.

Relieve washed over his face once he let his eyes fall upon Jeongguk.

"Thank god you're okay. You scared the shit out of me. Out of all of us. How are you feeling?"

A chuckle left the younger's mouth, he sat up in bed.

"I'm doing fine. A bit dizzy, that's all. I am indeed lucky. All thanks to you, I've heard."

A smile crept on Taehyung's face. The boy shrugged.

"No biggie. You have to pay me back though!" He joked.

"Sure. Name it." Jeongguk retorted.

The smile that was once planted on Taehyung's face slowly vanished, something behind his eyes gave away some other emotion which the other couldn't quite put his fingers on.

He took a few steps closer, sitting on Jeongguk's bed, staring at him.

He opened his mouth, but once he tried to speak, the sound of the door opening again interrupted him.

"Ggukie? How are you feeling?" A petite figure walked inside rather shyly.

Jeongguk raised his brows.

Right. He's talking to me again. Kind of saved him back there.

"I'm doing good! Better now that I've seen you doing fine, too." He winked.

An unnoticeable blush crept on Jimin's face. He shook his head.

Taehyung's eyes went from Jimin, to Jeongguk, back to his best friend, back to his other friend.

And he didn't like what he saw.

"Anyways.." Taehyung cleared his throat. "We've saved you some food. Let's go downstairs, alright?"

The brunette stood up and pulled Jimin with him, leaving the room.

Jeongguk stood up after a few minutes, black dots appearing in his vision which luckily disappeared after a few seconds.

"Eat up!" Taehyung beamed happily, making the youngest sit down on a chair. He pushed some leftover food towards him, watching as he gladly dug in.

"The others should be back soon enough with more food for all of us." Jimin said, turning towards a window.

"Are you sure you're feeling okay? No scratches or anything worse, right?" Taehyung raised his brow.

Jeongguk shook his head. He swallowed the last piece of his food, looking down.

He checked his legs, torso, arms, everything. He was all good.

"Good! Gosh, if I had reacted just a few seconds later, you would've been a dead man."

The dark haired male grinned, "Thank you, Taehyung. Really."

The brunette shrugged, "You've saved me more than once. I simply returned the favor." He added a wink.

A few hours later, the front door opened.

The three men laid eyes upon Jeongguk, relieve written across their faces.

"Thank god you're okay!" They chimed in unison, laughing a little at their actions.

"Where's the food?" Jimin eyed them with curiosity. The boy was starting to get hungry.

Seokjin glanced at Namjoon, who looked down. Hoseok avoided eye contact.

"We- we couldn't find any store.. Well, technically, we did, however the amount of walkers made it impossible to get inside. We've tried to find something else, but to avail. Sorry, guys.." Namjoon answered, biting his lip.

Everyone looked at each other for a moment, no one saying anything.

What was there to say?
It wasn't their fault.

"That's okay!" Jeongguk tried to brighten the mood.

"We'll have to continue our plan tomorrow. First of all, we have to locate where we are right now. Once we've done that, we can try our luck and find the nearest bunker. Perhaps we'll find some food on the way!"

Seokjin looked at the boy, "Don't you need to rest for a little longer? You've been out for two days.. What if you pass out? What if you won't feel well? What if w-"

"I'm fine, Jin-hyung. I promise. I have tonight, that'll be just fine." He smiled reassuringly.

"How do we locate where we are right now? There aren't any devices near us, and we're literally in the middle of nowhere." Yoongi sighed out.

Everyone thought for a moment.

"I think I got it!" Namjoon suddenly said, "We came across this road-sign earlier. Do you still have the map?"

The youngest fished in his pocket, pulling out the fragile piece of paper.

He spreaded it on the table on front of him, the guys gathering around him.

Namjoon's eyebrows were scrunched up as he tried to figure out where they were at right now. His finger traced the paper, stopping at a certain point.

"I think.. I think we're here, right now. Somewhere in this area. It's the best we have. That means that that bunker would be the nearest."

His finger tapped on one of the red circles, it didn't look too far away.

They would be able to make it, if nothing unfortunate would happen along the way.

Until now, they've only really found themselves in unlucky situations, barely making it out alive.

"Alright. Then it's settled. We have no other option, as we know. Tomorrow we'll continue. Hopefully, if we leave early in the morning, we'll be able to reach the bunker before dark."

The only question was, how long till their luck would run out.
