"What should we do now?" Jeongguk clicked his tongue, running his hand through his hair.

"It's all your fault!" Taehyung yelled, standing up.

"What? Are you for real?" Jeongguk chuckled, shaking his head in disbelief.

"Who told you to follow the music?" Taehyung spat.

"Who told you to come here with me? You could have just stayed back and enjoyed the open skies." Jeongguk snapped back.

"Ugh! I hate this!" Taehyung shrieked, clutching the roots of his hair tightly.

"As if I am enjoying this shit."

Taehyung rolled his eyes, crossing his arms and looking away.

Jeongguk sighed, looking back at the dead body, "Hey. It's not the time to bicker like five year-olds. We need to act our age and solve this mess."

Taehyung shrugged, "Yeah, whatever."

"His body needs to be buried. We can't just let it rot out here." Jeongguk stated.

"Thank you, Captain Obvious." Taehyung snickered, "But, I ain't touching it, no. Sorry not sorry." Taehyung shook his head vigorously.

"Thought as much." Jeongguk quirked his brows, "I'll do it, Trixie."

"Are you sure?" Taehyung gaped at him.

Jeongguk squinted his eyes at him, "You won't. So, it is obvious who has to do this, isn't it? Or you have a big blue Genie with you?"

Taehyung sighed, looking away. He suddenly wanted to help, but chose to stick to his words.

"So, we got a place to live." Jeongguk placed his hands on his hips, walking towards the wooden cabin.

"Is it alright to live here?" Taehyung said unsurely, as he stood up.

"You seriously do not want to live under the skies now, do you?" Jeongguk mimicked Taehyung's tone, before he scoffed, "Then we gotta live here. Till we get out of this isle. We're lucky that we found this built and ready."

"Arsehole." Taehyung mumbled under his breath, before he stretched, "Alright. I'm in no mood for your bullshit, so I'm gonna sleep." He walked past Jeongguk and entered the cabin, to shriek and jump out the next moment. Jeongguk cackled, "I already warned you, didn't I?"

"It's terrible." Taehyung grimaced.

"But, still we have to go in." Jeongguk shrugged, as he pushed open the door, and entered. Taehyung peeked in from behind him.

"It looks quite enough for the both of us." Jeongguk acknowledged, as he took slow steps inside, Taehyung followed him, looking around with a horrified look.

"If we are to stay here, we've got to remove all this." Taehyung stammered, flailing his hands around and Jeongguk chuckled.

"That's all right, kiddo. Ahjussi's gonna do all the work. You can just sit by and watch like a princess." Jeongguk mused, cracking his knuckles. Taehyung looked at him affronted, as Jeongguk pulled off all the animal skins from the walls and ceiling.

"You didn't just..."

"Well, I didn't say anything wrong." Jeongguk shrugged, struggling a little, as he walked down the steps and dumped all the things beside the dead body.

Taehyung followed him out, with twisted lips, but stopped when Jeongguk stood on the stair below his.

"What?" Jeongguk whispered, "Did I?"

Taehyung's eyes betrayed him, as they slipped a little lower to his throat and collarbones, lined graciously by a thin layer of sweat.

"I'll take care of all the stuff tomorrow. Let's just rest inside." Jeongguk cleared his throat, crossing Taehyung to walk inside.
