Sempiternal: •Broken• || Book 2#

12. Suspiciuos Floor

"Once you find your friend, you can come here. We will welcome you with open arms." assures Ahn with an affectionate leave. Jin nods, waving goodbye now that they are farther away and had already said their proper goodbyes.

"Go well!"

"Take care of yourselves!"

"See you later!"

"Go to the tent I told you!" exclaims Hyuk. "Don't forget!"

Namjoon opens the map as they walk to where they left the jeeps stored last time, preventing the pack from doing something to them by pure accident. Hyuk points them to a store where they sell sports equipment. Archery equipment, bats, that sort of thing. Being that they don't know where to find bullets and there might not be that many around, he recommended them to go get bow and arrow.

Because there are plenty of trees, it's also easier to practice archery than to practice shooting with a firearm. It will take a few hours out of their day, but all six agree it's a good idea. At worst, they can take bats. Stunning the infected with a good hit is also functional.

"Do you think there will be a storm today? The sky looks really bad and the dogs are very restless." comments Taehyung getting into the jeep with Yoongi and Hoseok.

"It's very likely. Besides, I bet anything Namjoon will say to stay in the store for today instead of moving forward" says Yoongi starting the vehicle. "I didn't think those few archery classes we did, was going to do any good" he mutters thoughtfully. "I thought it was going to be something more I would never in my life use."

"Well, we're Koreans" comments Hoseok smiling. "We are the bow and arrow people after all."

"Wow, history repeats itself. Now I wonder if it's true that there are still schools running?" Yoongi scoffs going after the car Jin drives. He can see Jungkook leaning out of the back of the jeep, grimacing and pouting in annoyance. Who knows why. Surely there's already been an argument over there.

"Jimin mentioned that they're teaching over there, so yeah, if it's true." adds Hoseok amused. Taehyung throws his head back.

"The worst thing about the end of the world, I'd have to keep my GPA up because I can't even be scared for my life."

Hoseok lets out a laugh, now that's a real mess.

"Hey, there are pictures of us here." says Jungkook smiling while pointing at the posters. Jin taps his chin.

"It's not the best angle, it wasn't the best photo from that session either what were they thinking?" grumbles putting his hands on his waist. Namjoon and Yoongi don't bother to interrupt them.

Any distraction that leads to a little calm and even some laughter is welcome. The tent is holding up quite well. It was empty unlike what Hyuk mentioned. Possibly it was a group passing through. The doors are broken after all. Yoongi takes the bow and stretches the string, closing one eye.

"We'll have to practice a lot." comments Yoongi quietly. Namjoon lets out a light laugh.

"At least there will be something to do instead of looking at the ceiling before going to sleep" Yoongi wrinkles his face. That's a good point. I'd still like to try to sleep for more time and peace and quiet. "I wonder if-"

"NAMJOON!"

The floor under Namjoon suddenly gave way. The ceiling cracks and some pieces of the ceiling fall everywhere. Fortunately nothing happened to any of them. Namjoon rubs his head and looks around. There is part of a broken pipe and what appears to be an unfinished area of construction. He gasps and looks up.
