Kim Namjoon was Kim Taehyung's cousin, the person he least liked on this planet

Kim Namjoon was Kim Taehyung's cousin, the person he least liked on this planet.
There had been no particular incident that had sparked the animosity between the two, but ever since Taehyung had introduced them to each other, they had never seen eye to eye.

The first few times he had tried to attend their pajamas, watching movies and eating pizza, but after Namjoon had pointed out several times he was too much - despite Taehyung telling him he wasn't - he had preferred to go to Yug and Woong's.

"We should sit down shouldn't we?"
Namjoon had let his hair grow out and the outift he wore was a little too dressy compared to what Jungkook remembers was his style.

"What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking what you are doing here, but I already know the answer unfortunately."
Namjoon's gaze remained fixed in his eyes and it was noticeable he was annoyed by his  presence.

"What did you do to Taehyung?"
Jungkook raised his voice and clenched his hands into a fist. He wanted to have his bat, he wanted to defend himself and he wanted to get Taehyung out of that place.

Namjoon laughed at his words and walked over to the table where most of the plants were resting.
He took an empty cup and filled it with hot water, then with all the care in the world he plucked leaves from the plants and crumbled them into the cup before turning it with a teaspoon.

"Would you like some tea? It is a bit bitter since it is made from natural leaves but it is very healing and helps with pimples."

Jungkook had the smoke coming out of his ears.
"I don't give a shit about tea. Where's my husband?"

How could he show so much calm when they were surrounded by zombies in the middle of nowhere?
God, how much he pissed him off.

"Your husband. Can you still think of him as that? From what I know he doesn't want you anymore."

"Mind your own fucking business. I'll repeat again, what did you do to him?"

His husband's cousin ignored his words and sat down on the sofa with his cup of tea in his hands.

"What makes you think I did anything to him?"

"The man I spoke to in the messages was not my husband. Taehyung would never answer me like that. So don't take me for a fool and tell me what you did to him."
Jungkook was still standing in front of the sofa with a frown.

Keep calm, take Taehyung and the cure and then run away, that was his plan.

But the first point had already fucked off and the second still seemed far away. Far too far away.

''Jungkook, I know you're not stupid and that's why you've come this far and that's why I know you've got it all figured out by now. Well, not quite everything but at least some of it."

Although they couldn't stand each other, they had both known each other for more than nine years now and had seen each other more times than either of them wanted to admit. Jungkook knew Namjoon and Namjoon knew Jungkook.

Perhaps it was because they knew each other so well Jungkook understood half the truth that he hoped was not true and Namjoon knew it well.

"I'll wait to talk to Taehyung to know the truth, I don't trust you."

"Well, really a pity isn't it? Taehyung has been out of the country for quite some time now."

"The planes haven't left since this apocalypse started."

"That's what you think, but I think I know better, don't you think?"

"When will he come back?"

"When you will answer him, he will take the first plane to come back."

"I will wait for him."

"No, you won't. You are dying of curiosity. I see your eyes searching the room for answers, you are paying attention to my every word and your right foot is tapping the floor impatiently. You want to know. You want answers and if you just ask nicely, I can give them to you."

Jungkook bit his tongue hard between his teeth and only realised when he felt the bitter taste of blood in his mouth.

"Again, how did you become a pain in the ass?"

Namjoon laughed
"Experiences put so many choices in front of you Jungkook, I chose to remain myself."

"What do you mean?"

"So now you want to know?"

The room fell into a tense silence.
Namjoon continued to keep his eyes fixed on Jungkook.

"Okay." He surrendered.
"Tell me what you know, then I'll decide whether to believe you or not."

The other shook his head and smiled in a way Jungkook hated.
"No, Jungkook. If you ask the right questions, I will answer you in the right way. If you ask the wrong questions, I answer you wrongly."

"How do I know if a question is wrong or not?"

"I guess it's up to me to decide and you to figure it out."

Jungkook had already said he hated him?
