Always at War (Completed)

Chapter 7.

Amelia's POV 

It's been about three days since we've been walking with no direction at all. No clue as to were we are going nor what we are going to do. 

Hoseok has explained to me that if we go back to the Military Base, they are probably going to be in huge trouble and I would probably get hurt. So that was not an option. We do not have a place to live anymore. 

I was scared to say the least. Being in a world that is at war without a single place of protection is very very scary. But I guess if you are with the right people, it's all worth it. 

They have this tent camps that we've been sleeping under for the past three days and we have been careful to use the resources if they are very necessary, which means that we cannot drink or eat anytime we want. 

I hope they have a place in mind in which we can go, because I don't think we can survive out here much longer. 

We've been lucky enough that we haven't gotten bombarded yet and the thought of been hunted by the Military Base, including my supposed older brother, is also stressing me out. 

They are all in danger because of me. 

"What are you thinking about?" I heard Hoseok asks me. I look at him and noticed that I've been quiet for a long time. I need to get out of my thoughts. 

"Oh nothing, it's fine." I said because I really didn't want to pure my thoughts and internal problems on him. 

"Are you sure? You know you can talk to me about whatever if going on in your mind." 

"I know, but I'm fine, don't worry." I told him and he smiled at me while nodding his head. Now we are following Joon, because it looks like he knows where to go. 

"Do you mind if I go talk to Joon for a bit?" I asks Hoseok and he shook his head 'no'. 

"It's fine, you can talk to whoever you want to. You don't have to asks me." He said and I could feel myself blushing from embarrassment. I don't know why I felt the need to asks his permission. 

I guess because they are his friends, I feel limited. 

I walk towards Joon who was actually walking alone. The rest were paired up or in groups of three. So I decided to talk to him now that I had the opportunity. 

"Hey." I said as I began to walk at his pace. He walks fast, but I can manage. 

"Oh, hey. Are you okay?" He asks immediately and I was in awe at how much they all seem to actually care about me without knowing me. 

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine, I just wanted to give you some company since you were walking alone." I told him and he smiled at me. 

"That's sweet. I wouldn't mind some company." I smile back and we went to a comfortable silence. 

"So do you know where we are going?" I decided to asks, since that is actually the real reason I was walking with him. 

"Yeah, there is this house that is kind of in the middle of nowhere. But it's a house that has been part of my family for generations. Since everyone has been evacuated from their homes, I think no one is going to be there. But there should probably be more food and vegetation that we can take advantage of." He explained and I nodded as I listened carefully. "Let's hope that it is still intact and that the war hasn't come near it yet." 

"Did you used to go there a lot?" 

"Yeah. It is actually where I grew up as well. It was a bit weird going back to society when they sent us a letter that I had to volunteer. But if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have met the guys."
