Chapter sixty

Guess who's back!
And very apologetic 🫪

3rd person pov

After working in the garden for a few hours, Yoongi and Y/n headed back into the house. Initially Y/n didn't want to leave the garden as she wanted the distraction, but after her stomach rumbled for the third time, Yoongi didn't give her a choice.

Yoongi- "You either walk on your own or I drag you, your choice." he stated sweetly with a smile, as though he had just given her a 3-tier-cake.

Y/n- "I'll walk, I'll walk." she said, surrendering her hands with a laugh.

The pair trodded towards the kitchen and began routing through the cupboards that had seen better days.

Yoongi- "If Jin were here he would be able to whip up something good." he chuckled, trying to lighten the mood at their rather bleak food options.

Y/n did not laugh. All Yoongi's joke did was remind her of the fact the boys were gone and there was nothing she could do but wait and hope they will come home.

Her lip began to quiver as she thought of all the things that could have happened to the boys. She suddenly overcome with nausea at the idea that they could have been turned into zombies and she could have to kill one later down the line if they attacked.

Yoongi- "It's okay, they'll be okay." he said with a hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort the newly 15-year-old.

To his surprise, she turned herself to him and dived straight towards his chest, embracing him in a tight hug as she began to cry. She didn't cry because she was a weak or emotional girl. She cried because she didn't want to lose the family she had found in this cruel, messed up world.

Yoongi- "You're okay, I've got you." he comforted while rubbing her back, trying to calm her down. "Just breathe."

After a couple minutes, Y/n had calmed down, collecting herself and whipping her wet face on her arm.

Y/n- "Sorry about that." She stated, rather embarrassed.

Yoongi- "Don't worry about it, we all get upset, crying is a healthy way to express your emotions. You don't need to be ashamed of it." He stated in a comforting yet matter of factly voice.

Y/n- "Should we head back out to the garden?" she said, knowing her and Yoongi wouldn't succeed very far in the kitchen.

Before Yoongi could protest, forcing the girl to eat something, the door to the house swung open as a tired, sweating collection of boys piled in through the door.

Y/n- "You're back!" She yelled, practically running towards Taehyung and forcing him into a tight hug. 

Taehyung held her against him, stroking her hair as he took steadying breaths.

Taehyung- "I missed you too kiddo." He smiled in relief.

Hobi- "Group hug!" He declared while bombarding over to the pair, arms spread wide.

Jungkook and Jin joined moments later, bodies finally relaxing and heart rates slowing.

Hobi- "Get up in here Yoongles!" He grinned, moving one wrist to signal his friend to join. 

Yoongi- "No way, you guys stink." He stated, trying to hide his grin.

He wasn't wrong, the four men had been coated in blood, sweat and goodness knows what else out there.

Despite his protests, Yoongi was practically forced into the hug and accepted it with far less resistance than he'd like to admit.

When the hug finally came to an end, Y/n began her interrogation.

Y/n- "Why on earth did you take forever to come home? And how come you didn't walkie talkie? Do you know how worried we've been?"

Yoongi- "We?" He asked, receiving a glare from the smaller girl, who had now placed her hands on her hips.

Taehyung- "The car broke down, there was overheating in the engine and one of the tires must have punctured as it was flat when we left the shop."

Jungkook- "We managed to fix it though!" He beamed, joining the conversation again.

Jin- "By 'we', he means Tae and I, just to clarify." He butt in, pointing his fingers to accentuate his point.

Hobi- "Well yes, but you needed the DIY stuff for the engine that me and Cookie found!" He argued back.

Jungkook- "Plus we were holding zombies back, giving you time to fiddle with the van!"

Jin- "Details," he waved his hand dismissively.

Y/n- "You still haven't answered about the walkie talkie." She continued, stress easing.

Jin- "It randomly stopped working! We have no idea why!" He began, loudly.

Taehyung- "Yeah, it had nothing to do with the fact that someone sat on it." He stated, eyes flicking towards Jin as he brought Y/n into a side hug. The tension in her shoulders began to release at the jokes and reassurance he was back.

Y/n- "You big bafoon!" She teased, pushing him lightly with her hand.

Jin- "Me? A bafoon? Talk to the man who put it on the seat!" He protested, pointing at Hobi, who suddenly found the ceiling very interesting. "Besides, could a bafoon have a face this handsome?"

Yoongi- "Someone shoot me." He muttered while moving towards the door. "The others in the van then?" He asked, grimacing at the state of the blood covered van.

This burst the happy bubble that had formed upon the boys return.

Taehyung- "What do you mean? They stayed here with you." He questioned, subconsciously holding Y/n closer to himself.

The other boys began to look around, as though their glee of being safe back home had blocked their vision of what was missing.

Yoongi- "No. They went to find you when you didn't return or answer the walkie talkie." He stated, frustration growing.

Hobi- "What?" He asked, smaller than he'd likely intended, smiling faltering from his face.

Jin- "I- I didn't see them on the road-" he began, looking to the others to see if they had somehow forgotten to mention seeing the others on the journey.

Y/n- "Not again..." she whispered, nods to herself than anything. Tae held her tighter against himself, hand gently rubbing her arm in an attempt to soothe the panic happening within the girl he'd grown so protective of.

Yoongi pinched the bridge of his nose, letting out a jaggered breath.

Yoongi- "We have to go back. Right now!"
