The Cruise

𝐗𝐗𝐈𝐗

Namjoon, and Jin stayed in the front of the ground. Jin carrying the map and reading out for Namjoon, while Namjoon made the decision. The rest of us preferred to stick close to each other. The five of us didn't have the slightest idea as to where we were headed. Just blindly following after the two in front. And it was okay to be honest. For the moment, I couldn't tolerate making any more decision, whether in the spur of the moment or for long term. And I trusted the rest. As ridiculous as it sounds. We've know each other for a little over a month, and I was following them them blindly on an island that was most likely the signature on our death certificate. 

I felt someone nudge on my shoulder and turned to see Hoseok holding out a water bottle for me. I took it from his hand, muttering a thank in the process and took a few gulps. Sighing in relief in as the water trickled down my throat. I passed it to Jimin. Nudging his arms to get his attention. 

Then I glanced up at the sky. The canopy of the trees gave away to grayish blue sky mixed with orange. It's going to be sunset soon. I gulped realizing that if we don't find a way to escape, or a good place to hide, we might not survive tonight. 

I let out a groan feeling sweat dribble down my forehead. I realized my hands were shaking. And for some reason my heart was beating harder than it should. Pounding against my chest. My head felt heavy. And it was hard to stand up straight.

"Hyung?" Jungkook called out. And immediately I turned my head towards him. The boy flinched and I realized it was because all six of us turned towards him at the same time. 

"Hyung, can-can we stop for sometime please?" Jungkook asked. Getting over the initial hesitation. Now that he mentioned it, I realized my legs were hurting as well. I realized how much I wanted to just stop and curl up in some place. Jin was about to say something but Namjoon spoke up first. 

"Okay, let's just take a five minutes break." He announced. 

"Are you sure?" Jin asked, glancing up at the sky. 

Namjoon pursed his lips and nodded, "Yeah. Five minutes won't hurt."

At that all five of us slumped down on the ground together collectively. Startling Namjoon and Jin. I leaned against the trunk of a free, taking in deep breathes and stretching out my legs. First, being cramped in that small space and now walking for hours on the end. It's a surprise I can still walk. 

I saw Jin walk over to us, hands dug in his bag. Then one by one, he handed out snack bar for all of us. I muttered another 'thank you' when he handed me a snack bar. He frowned a little and I wondered if it was because of my weak grip on the bar, the exhausted look on my face or maybe it was both. 

He crouched down in front of me, and placed the back of my head on my forehead. His eyebrow furrowed even more before he mumbled, "You've got a fever."

I groaned once again when I tried to pull my legs together, "Makes sense."

I felt someone else's hand on my neck but couldn't make the effort to move my head and see who it was. I didn't need to though. I recognized the voice afterwards.
