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

31. Undercover

Jungkook must admit that some gardening needs to be done. The snow has not stopped all the plants from growing. There is vegetation accustomed to the cold, so the undergrowth there is a rather preponderant and even annoying. It would not surprise him that some Yagtalja is hiding here. If it has enough intelligence for that. It doesn't look like it at the moment.

Although the traps may say otherwise.

Jungkook gets to the annex and after much complication to enter, he manages to pass. There is an empty space that has not yet been conditioned. Mainly because they do not know what to do with it. It is very far from the central part, it is a bit risky for people to stay here to live or do much here, what if there is an ambush? There aren't enough of them even to fill the whole school. It already had a capacity of many, many people before. They don't fill up as much as the students did back in the day.

So there are boxes of food, tables, materials that they don't need to use yet, but would in the future. It's the perfect space for anyone who wants to hide. He stealthily makes sure that no exit is available, after that, he pulls out the gun and removes the safety catch. He is convinced he has seen the silhouette of the person who infiltrated.

It crosses his mind that it's a fucking curse what they have now: Gimpo came to them after wanting so badly to get to Gimpo. It feels like some kind of bad joke from the universe. It makes him wonder where Jimin is? Maybe because he's on foot he hasn't been able to get here, besides avoiding Gimpo's people.

He hears Bam barking again. Sometimes, it seems like his dog is crazy.

"If they haven't come back to say something, it's because they haven't reached whoever is causing so much trouble yet." Hoseok mutters thoughtfully, sitting on Yoongi's bed as Yoongi looks out the window. "It's a little strange though, don't you think, why hasn't anything happened?" he asks.

"Maybe he was a coward who came in pure luck and now he doesn't know what to do." proposes Yoongi. He scratches behind his ear and leans back from the window, still exhausted from the workout and the sizable run they had to make to get to the room.

"Maybe" Hoseok agrees and heads for the door. Considering it annoying that the pair of dogs are whining so much. "Mickey, stop; I understand that gunshots scare you, but you can't keep squealing all the time!" he claims to his dog who scratches at the door with his paws, squealing louder and louder. So does Holly. Yoongi goes to charge him and the animal repels him, running to the door again and clawing at it without being able to open it.

"What's wrong with them?" grumbles Yoongi. Before he tries to grab him again, he notices that Wooyoung is running outside, making a fuss.

"YEONTAN! COME HERE! THIS IS NO TIME FOR YOU TO PLAY! YEONTAN!" he shrieks in desperation. Yoongi grabs Holy and opens the door, managing to make Yeontan's high-pitched, desperate barking echo in the room, as well as in the hallway. Holly gasps and moves his paws forward, as if pointing at something and at the same time, tries to free himself from Yoongi.

"Why are they pacing so anxiously?" questions Hoseok with Mickey loaded. His dog may try, but he's still an old animal and his exhausted panting from so much prodding is tender.

"I don't know, but-"

"Hey!"

Down the stairs they see Rapmon running, dragging the little hook with which Namjoon holds him still in one place. He pulls so hard that he breaks free from the wall. Yoongi decides to take one of the guns they keep on the emergency shelves and leave Holly and Mickey stuffed in the room.

"Let's go see what's going on. Maybe they need help somehow."

"I don't think it's-"

"Something's making them nervous. If it's a fire, an infiltration, we should do something as the only ones in this wing of the school. We peek out and whatever it is, we run back here." plans Yoongi without much trouble, already moving down the hallway. Hoseok takes a deep breath.
