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...
The grey strings of smoke could still be seen through the treetops even though the group was hours away from Terminus. The relief and happiness from their reunion lingered, though gave way to a wave of paranoia and anxiety. It filled their bellies and seeped into each step they took, forcing them to keep moving until their feet began to ache.
They needed to get as far away from Terminus as possible due to the walkers and any possible survivors. They also needed to find shelter for the night but Jungkook didn't worry about that. He noticed the new-found strength the group had and knew that they would be alright. He was more afraid for anyone who crossed them.
During the walk, Jungkook and Taehyung stayed glued to each other sides, or more like Taehyung trailed after Jungkook like a shadow whenever the latter drifted away. Jungkook also noticed Taehyung's constant gaze - it was as though his eyes had been sown into Jungkook's skin. Not to mention the way Taehyung's couldn't keep quiet for a single moment and used his breath to strike up conversation after conversation.
At first he explained how he had met Daryl on the road, how they ran into Rick and the whole ordeal with the deranged group. After noticing Jungkook's face sour at the information, Taehyung was quick to spit out a joke and move onto Terminus. He rambled light heartedly about how they had been Cannibals that wanted to slaughter them like pigs before Jungkook and Carol blew that place up.
When that was over, silence only settled for a brief second before Taehyung was opening his mouth again and rambling about random things. Sometimes it was about how and why Jungkook learned to draw, other times Taehyung asked what Jungkook would have done with his life if the apocalypse hadn't occurred. Jungkook indulged him out of endearment and a tiny tint of confusion at Taehyung's odd behaviour.
"You're wonderfully chatty." Jungkook teased after Taehyung's little rant about how he had found the throwing knives in an online store warehouse, "But talking about throwing knives, I actually have something for you." Jungkook twisted around to fully face Taehyung to pull the harness with the throwing knives out of his satchel.
The group had taken a break from walking, mostly because Judith needed to be bottle fed but also so that Daryl could scout the area and Rick could form a plan. Jungkook used this moment to present his gift to Taehyung and as the latter's eyes settled on the knives, Jungkook was flooded with satisfaction after witnessing Taehyung's brows raise and eyes glimmer.
"You got these for me?" Taehyung reached out, sliding his fingers over the back of Jungkook's hand before settling on the hilt of one of the knives.
Jungkook hummed, not fighting the smile tugging at the corner of his lips as he watched Taehyung pull the knife out and toss it up and down in his palm, "It's heavier than I'm used to and the shape is different." Taehyung murmured under his breath, brushing his thumb along the edge of the knife before turning around to face a tree, "But I'll get used to it." Taehyung's eyes narrowed and arm reeled back before he threw the knife.
