"What should we do now?" Jungkook asked quietly as he and Jimin both got back up on their feet. "Maybe just try to survive." Jimin said sarcastically.

Jungkook sighed out. "That's obvious, but… what is the plan? I… I don't even know what's happening or what is going on." He rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"Well…" Jimin began, catching his breath as he felt tired. "I say lets make our way back to camp. To see--" He gulped. "What the damage is, and see if we can find any other survivors."

Jungkook instantly stopped after hearing the last of Jimin's words leave his mouth. At first, Jimin didn't realize that the younger musician had ceased moving. He only noticed when he looked over as he was walking and saw that Jungkook was no longer by his side.
He turned to look back over his shoulder and there Jungkook was, standing completely still in the middle of the trees staring down at his feet. He was petrified.

"Jungkook?" Jimin called out softly as he made his way over to him. "Are… you okay? Why'd you stop walking?"

"I…" The younger one began, but trailed off.

"You're still freaked out about all of this, right?" Jimin reached out to touch Jungkook's shoulder, but he just smacked his hand away.

"I don't need your pity." Jimin scoffed and stepped back. "What the fuck is your problem?"

Jungkook snapped his head up to look at Jimin. "What is MY problem!? Seriously, Jimin!" He walked forward and shoved Jimin, making him stumble backwards and almost fall down to the ground. He gasped, struggling to keep his balance but managed to catch himself the last moment. "J-jungkook! Are we seriously fighting again?!"

Jimin could tell that the younger man was angry. He was confused, hurt, and felt as though he had been lied to.
"No! No, I j-just…" He lifted his hands to his face, covering them. Soon, heavy sobs could be heard from him. He was trembling with fear. Jimin was quick to run over and gently grasp him by his arm, trying to look into his eyes.

"Hey! Jungkook, please. Don't cry. Look, I am so sorry that this is happening. I'm sorry you are feeling so hurt and confused. I get it. I am just as fucking scared as you are. None of this makes sense to me, either. But we have to do our best to stay in one piece and get out of this alive. Okay? Please… for everyone's sake, we need to stop fighting and work as a team to figure this out."

He let go of Jungkook's arms and slowly pulled the younger's hands away from him face and held them in his own hands. "Please, Jungkook… Look at me."
At first, Jungkook was reluctant to even move an inch. But he decided to do what the older man told him to. He lifted his head and looked at Jimin, who wiped the dark haired boy's tears away.

"We will get through this together, I promise." Jimin said sweetly. Jungkook sniffled and rubbed his eyes, looking at the blond.
"Okay. I understand." He breathed out slowly, gaining his composure. Jimin smiled.

"Thank you. Now, let's go."
Jungkook nodded and they both, together, started running, trying to find their way back to the main camp. They didn't realize how far they really got from the starting point.
"Damn, I didn't realize that we ran so far away from the camp!" Jimin yelled out, breathlessly as he and Jungkook ran through trees, and jumped over vines.
