Worthless

What the hell Minho!

96 h after landing

Felix pov

It had been 2 days since I had seen the grounder and till now we hadn't had any other interaction with him or the rest of them. I was even purposely avoiding the area where the cave was, not wanting to overdo my "welcome" there.

During this time, I have been trying to figure out a way to find another water resource.
And the only reasonable solution would be to send two teams to explore, one across the river and the other towards the mountain, but that was too dangerous right now.

And another thing we were doing was analyzing the black liquid the grounder had given me. I was hoping that if Miller and I found the ingredients of tje antidote we could also find what sort of poison was in the water. But that would take time.

In the meanwhile, Minho was almost done with the radio.

I grabbed my bag, the one Minho and Jisung had brought from the river where I had left it and looked inside for my notebook.

I couldn't find it. I let out a sigh and assumed it had fallen in the water when I fell. I was a bit sad since drawing was my therapy but nothing to do about it now.

"Felix" called Jisung, he was coming from outside.

"Tell me, Ji"

He came to my room and closed the door.

"The engine," he said keeping his voice low.

"What about it?" I asked confused.

"Someone cut the connecting rod...that's why I can't fix it," he said and I blinked in disbelief.

"Huh?"

"Someone here cut it. The first day it wasn't broken that's why I said I could fix it. Someone doesn't want us to have a way out of this."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"I wasn't sure...now I am," he replied.

"You think one of them did it?"

"I don't know Lix...all I know is that this whole situation is shit and we're going to die," he said panicking.

"Ji, calm down," I said and hugged him.

"We'll find who did it and why ok?" I said to reassure him.

After Jisung told me about the engine I couldn't help but think about who in our team would do this. But no one would have a reason to. Everyone's lives were at stake here. It just didn't make sense.

Minho pov

I went outside looking for Jisung only to find him sitting under a tree. He seemed to be in one of his depressive episodes.

"Get up you're coming with me," I said and he ignored me.

"No," he said.

"Up, Ha-"

"Fuck off"

I sighed and leaned down so I could see his face better.

"You're coming with me to the bunker we found, I need your help for something. It's about the radio. Understood Hannie?" I said and he looked at me annoyed.

"A'right," he said and scoffed.

"Good boy," I said and he looked puzzled.

God making him flustered was so fun.

Then he got up and walked toward the forest without even looking at me.

"Why are you mad now, huh?"

"I'm not mad," he said and he was definitely mad.
