16. Time together

"Hey..."

"I know what I saw last night. I didn't hallucinate it, I didn't make it up-there was a person there."

Jungkook bites his tongue and continues with what they're doing: collecting medicine from a small supply found by chance a few days ago. It's the last trip to empty it completely. He proposed to go out with Taehyung, help him calm down a bit and not feel like a madman. The others think so because of his insistence to claim that something approached the fence, started to break it and apart from everything else, he looked like a yellow-eyed infected.

Namjoon was strangely silent about it.

Seojoon seemed to be the only one who fervently believed that it was true and that he should have been careful about it.

"I was going to tell you that I want new boots, how delicate."

Taehyung turns to see him and gives him a sharp shove, Jungkook smiles with a wrinkled nose and clear lie. However, it is his duty to clown around to lighten the mood a bit. Using his status as the "little guy of the group" to bring about a better mood. I'd say it worked pretty well.

"Don't mess with me. You're not being thought a fool for something you clearly saw." Jungkook drops his head to the side.

"No, they just think me a deluded fool for thinking a reality. So we're the same, Mr. Drama" Taehyung rolls his eyes. They can't compare the two situations. Jungkook's is nothing but an improbable and impossible fantasy. His was directly there. "Be that as it may, I guess you saw something, because haven't you ever hallucinated something weird and Yeontan went straight to my room to hide. Whatever it was, it scared him. Scaring that sourpuss is pretty complicated."

"Why don't you say that logic with the others? You left me alone talking and trying to convince them."

"Because they weren't going to listen to me either. I thought you already knew that part."

Taehyung grumbles. It still doesn't encourage him at all.

They leave their full backpacks and suitcases in the car. The tent is officially useless with everything taken out. Jungkook stretches his arms at length and yawns. He is very sleepy, they left too early to take advantage of every last bit of good light in the day. There are very few clouds in the sky and even with that, it is too cold. Being warm has never been an option these years.

They decide to walk around a bit more to see if they can carry more stuff. They found several useful clothing stores, also pet stores and a stationery store. The least they thought they would need, but with so many people and the need for so many listings, it is urgent to bring more pens, papers and other items. It is a school, but they have already been occupying it for over a year. It was impossible for school resources not to start running low.

It doesn't help that there are children doing homework and studying.

"I still wonder who put this up" admits Taehyung looking at the wall with a huge mural that says: please stay alive. "It's a pretty motivational message within the circumstances." he whistles with his hands on his hips and Jungkook shrugs.

"Someone with a lot of time and a place to go, I guess."

"Maybe it's a sign for someone Can you imagine? It must be lovely. I wonder how far they'll go." He wonders aloud and Jungkook smiles to himself, he hopes Jimin has seen one of these paintings at least. Even if it's just one, it will make him feel accomplished.

Maybe he will realize that he had them put up, that they come from him and he will follow them. He asked Yeou to place them so that they are a little guide to get to the school. Certain people have come because of it, so it's functional.
