RECAP:
"we're headed for base camp. its the safest place we can be now that the school's taken over." jaehyun explains.
"is any place really safe?" renjun asks with his usual pessimism.
"we'll just have to wait and see, i guess..." jisung softly says.
———— no one's POV
LOCATION: military base ETA: arrived
after an hour on the road, taeyong followed behind one of chunho's trucks into the base. neither of them knew yet, but the platoon two's second truck had lost course. of course, chunho's first thought when both platoon's, minus the ones in the missing truck, had finally arrived at the base, was to just wait it out and hope they would show up sooner or later.
"you sure you don't want to go looking for them? we can help." minha asks chunho.
"i'm not sure. but you guys don't have to worry, this is my problem." he replies.
"okay, well just reach out if you do— we'll be staying a while." taeyong says.
"copy that." chunho states. "now go and tend to your privates, the medic is already waiting on standby." he says signaling to jaemin who is helped out of the truck by jaehyun and sangwon.
taeyong nods, making his way back to his platoon.
"are my guppies all in one piece?" he asks in an aegyo voice.
"aw man— i thought he grew out of that name." renjun mutters.
"yes, hyung. everyone is in one piece." says taesoo.
hyung. taeyong smiles at the title— they really had all become one big family since this all started.
"except me. i am missing a chunk of skin on my side— so technically i am not in one piece." jaemin jokes as he stands, leaning on jaehyun for support.
"haha. very funny." taeyong rolls his eyes playfully. "now get your ass to the medic to properly fix up your wound, private."
"yes, sir!!" jaemin salutes before walking along side jaehyun into the base.

five minutes later, platoon four is settled inside their designated tents, one for the boys and one for the girls of course.
