Sempiternal: •D.E.A(live).D• || BOOK 4#

15. Silent worries

"A plane? Fuck."

"Now the anxiety of getting on a plane, some asshole doesn't say he's bitten, transforms, turns all hell and the plane crashes is the new thing to my nightmares. Thank you very much." says Hongjoong before sipping his coffee.

"It was a worry I didn't need." admits Seonghwa dejectedly.

"Jungkook is an expert at delivering bad news and ruining anyone's breakfast." grumbles Bambam stirring the drink in his cup. "One day I woke up and suddenly I had like a hundred messages telling me that Gereum had passed away, I mean I understand he said it because he was anxious, but damn it, I couldn't eat properly."

"To make it worse that time we were having problems with the company." adds Yugyeom and Jungkook wrinkles his nose. It's not his fault for being unintentionally untimely.

"I just remember that horrible occasion when he suddenly said "Sorry, Hyung" and sent me a Dispatch news" At the table they remain cold and Jungkook holds his laughter lowering his head at Namjoon's story. "It turned out to be a video of him riding a tricycle down the street."

"OH, I REMEMBER THAT!"

"Why were you using a tricycle, Sunbae?" asks San. It's a doubt that has been plaguing him ever since he saw that video. Jungkook stuffs his mouth with food, shrugging.

"No one has told him," Jin comments. "Sometimes he's worse than a child."

"Sorry, I forgot, you're like a thousand years old."

"HEY!"

Some at the table laugh. Jin is the oldest one there, so the comment is not uncommon and knowing them, much less so is the conversation. Yoongi opens and closes his mouth, at the corner of the table. Face red and unable to understand where he is or what they are talking about.

"How much longer are those planes going to take?" Exhales Jackson, exhausted and uneasy about the whole thing, returning to the initial topic," I feel like it's been a whole eternity since they announced evacuation and I haven't seen a single plane.

"We've seen them, but they're the kind that leave supplies behind," Yunho comments, stretching his legs and rocking back and forth in his seat. "If they have to fly over so much, there should be to get us out shouldn't there?"

"Not specifically. It's..."

"Oh no, he's already been winded." Jin gulps for air and Jackson smiles forced to endure all of Namjoon's explanation. They know he's smart, but since he absorbs even blender manuals, they're afraid of his speeches. Many times it's scientific data that is too burdensome and too heavy. It's a bit tormenting. However, no one cuts him off.

Apart from feeling rather impolite, you can tell that he does it in the hope of resolving some concern. Yunho is left more confused than before, being that Namjoon elaborates in overly complex terms that don't even seem to have a Korean translation. In the end, only Taehyung and Jungkook seem to grasp what he is talking about.

"And it won't be that... They don't want to take us out?"

"It's a possibility." admits Namjoon to Jungkook's question. Taehyung bites his lips and moves what's on his unfinished plate.

Having Jungkook around and so attentive can be considered a huge blessing for Taehyung. He gets very distracted by having him around. It is also opportune for training some of the less slovenly and cantankerous dogs. However, the issue of bowel movements has gotten on his nerves. Making him fear a thousand and one things. From not being taken out for killing a bunch of people, to being forgotten here for not getting any closer to an airport or military base.
