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 candles around the church had been burnt down to tiny nubs, shrouding the church in a soft golden glow. Carl and Judith had decided to go into Gabriel's study to rest for the night, leaving the group to quiet down and cease their celebrating. The muffled laughs and whispered words caressed the walls of the church and intertwined with the violin solo played by the cicadas outside.
Sleep clung to Jungkook's lashes as he leaned his head on Taehyung's shoulder and watched a rare smile bloom on Tyreese's face. The tension that had once haunted his eyes had lightened into something soft as he listened to Sasha laugh at a joke Bob had uttered. A ball of fluff grew inside Jungkook's chest and unravelled the remaining poisonous knots of grief and self loathing. The one thing he had prayed for had finally come true - they were together once more - and finally he was able to exhale and sink into himself without a single shard of tension or fear piercing his skin.
Before the serenity of the night and the calming presence of his group could pull him into a dreamless sleep, he felt Taehyung's shoulder shift under his head, followed by the brush of his fingers against his thigh, "Hey." The Taehyung rasped under his breath, meaning it only for Jungkook's ears. Jungkook cracked an eye open and hummed groggily but didn't bother to lift his head, "Let's step out for a bit?" Taehyung suggested nervously, clearly hesitating.
Jungkook pulled his head up, wincing as his neck cracked after being bent for so long, "What for?" He grumbled as he rubbed the sleep out of the corners of his eyes. When silence followed, Jungkook peered over at Taehyung and only then noticed the blush dusting his cheeks and the lack of eye contact, "Sorry," Jungkook softened his voice, realising his words might've come across as harsher than he intended them to be and Taehyung didn't need that in that moment, "Let's go then." He shrugged and pushed himself off the ground before offering his hand to Taehyung to pull him up too.
They stepped over Glenn's legs and brushed past a sleepy Maggie to walk towards the exit. Rick's eyes immediately settled on them - taking note of them leaving, just as he had done with Daryl and Carol when they left a moment prior. They reached the entrance to the church and pushed past the heavy door. The hinges creaked when it was moved, they slipped outside and clicked it shut behind them. The crispy air filled their lungs after hours of being in the stuffy, candle-lit room and Jungkook couldn't fight the tug of a smile as he sucked in a deep breath - enjoying the serene evening.
The moon was illuminating the front porch and the trees surrounding the area, while the breeze wrapped itself around them and made goosebumps rise on their skin, "Did you have something else to confess or did you just want to have some alone time?" Jungkook mused - the tease silky smooth on the tip of his tongue.
