The Longest Dayz

Chapter 34: Kim Seojun

Seojun sat at the counter observing the people who were walking in and out of the kitchen. Some came in for food or drinks while others walked through to exit the penthouse; taking notice that the ones who left the apartment more often, ate less than the ones who didn't leave. He was secretly keeping an inventory of the food and drinks that were being taken from the kitchen and had been thinking long and hard about their situation. Watching how the group carelessly took the supplies, he had started considering limiting the food and drinks to a certain amount per person. The detective wasn't sure how the group would take it if he brought it up, he also didn't want to be viewed as a controlling person, since nobody has really taken on the role of a leader.

"Seojun-hyung, are you alright?" Hanwoo asked.

"I was just thinking about something." He responded vaguely.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" He queried as he visibly examined Seojun's face. He must've looked perplexed, because it was evident that whatever he was thinking about was troubling him.

"Well maybe you could help with the issue." He responded as he stood up and gestured for Hanwoo to follow him. He led Hanwoo to their shared room and closed the door. He didn't want someone to overhear the conversation.

"Is it something you don't want taken the wrong way?" Hanwoo questioned.

Seojun gave a silent nod. "We have a limited amount of resources and I've noticed that the people who are less likely to leave the penthouse tend to take the most food and drinks throughout the day. They take it like we have an unlimited amount of supplies, as if they haven't truly come to terms with the fact that our lives have changed and they might never go back to the way they were. Maybe I'm just being too nosey, but I feel that we should start limiting the amount of supplies a person can have per day. What do you think?" He asked.

"Honestly I agree, however I would like to ask Kittichai and Yeongsu for their opinions on this matter as well... even Taehyun, since they contributed the most food when they brought that cargo truck back. Kittichai and Yeongsu have the most influence amongst us, so rightfully they should have the first say on this matter." He explained.

Seojun nodded, Hanwoo made a valid point. "Go find them and bring them here."

Hanwoo nodded as he went to search for the three of them. It didn't take him long to bring the three into the room. Hanwoo shut the door behind them.

"What did you need to talk to us about?" Kittichai was the first to speak.

"Did we do something wrong again?" Taehyun grumbled.

"No you didn't do anything wrong. I need your opinions on something." Seojun stated with a small smile, finding Taehyun's comment slightly amusing.

"Get to the point, I don't like the suspense." Yeongsu said impatiently.

"I'm thinking of limiting the food and drinks to a certain amount per day for each person. I want to know your opinion on this matter." Seojun gave a straight forward response to Yeongsu.

"You want to limit everyone?" Yeongsu questioned. "Shouldn't you discuss this with everyone then?"

"I disagree with that." Kittichai stated to Yeongsu. "If you discuss it with everyone, more people would most likely disagree and start hoarding supplies while they still can. Limiting a food supply isn't something most people will take kindly, however I personally agree that it would be in the best interest of everyone to limit the supplies. They won't last forever and if everyone can take however much they want throughout the day then we will run out of supplies in just a few weeks. Limiting the supplies could last us a month or two at most."
