Jungkook never thought that he'd find a home behind a four metre tall fence and concrete walls, but with the help of the Woodburians, the growing group turned the place into a sanctuary for all. That's until the group was tested by a deadly virus an...

Taehyung was sick of seeing the rusty tracks, the only relief he had was that he was reunited with Rick, Michonne and Carl. The five of them were exhausted after walking the entire day and a part of Taehyung was eager to reach Terminus because he'd finally be off the road but another part of him was terrified. The feeling stemmed from the realization that reaching Terminus would mean confirming whether Jungkook was dead or alive. He knew that the chances of him surviving were small and was aware that he wouldn't see Jungkook there but actually having a confirmation would break him.
As they walked, they saw a torn-down sign lying beneath a blanket of leaves. Taehyung brushed the leaves away with his boot, revealing the word terminus written on it, "We're getting close." Daryl murmured after seeing the sign, "Be there before sundown."
They looked up and peered into the distance as if their eyes could pierce through the foliage and see the building, "How should we do this?" Taehyung spoke up, glancing over at Rick for guidance, "Just walk in through the front door?" He questioned with a quirked brow, showing his doubt.
Rick's nose twitched in disagreement and chin nudged into the direction of the forest, "We head through the woods, we don't know who they are." The group agreed with that and broke away from the trail by stepping down the tracks and trickling into the woods.

When the sun was low in the sky, they stumbled upon a metal fence. Vines and ivies crawled through the wires, shielding what was hiding beyond it. The group stepped forward with Rick grabbing one of the vines and tugging it off to the side, revealing a large brick building. The windows were boarded shut and in big, bold letters the name 'Terminus' was spray painted below the windows. Unmoving traincarts were decaying next to the building and a fence wrapped around it. It had a large courtyard, mostly consisting of concrete ground and overgrown weeds growing through the cracks. There wasn't a person in sight and Taehyung could only wonder how this place was still standing without guards surveying the area.
"We all spread out, watch for a while, see what we see and get ready." Rick untangled his fingers from the fence as he whispered his instructions, "We all stay close." Taehyung hummed in agreement, following after Daryl when the man leaned his crossbow against his shoulder and started walking away. Distantly, he heard Rick speak to Carl, "You want to stick with me?"
"It's all right." Carl denied the offer and trailed after Michonne with Rick's eyes lingering on the boy's back.
Taehyung tried to ignore the interaction but he had noticed Carl's quietness and the way he looked at Rick after yesterday. He wondered if the boy was scared of him after he had witnessed his father rip someone's throat out with his teeth but decided that it wasn't his place to address this. He noticed that Michonne and Carl had grown closer, and were currently walking off by themselves, so he just left it to her to comfort the boy and see what the issue was. He knew Michonne would be the best person to have this talk with - the woman having comforted Taehyung in his darkest moments in life.
