-its called thantophobia you'll find it hehe

continuation from the last chapter- helen

If there was anything she hated more than broad beans and brussel sprouts, it would be leaving Yugyeom. In fact, she hates it so much, that she takes it out on those poor vegetables. They never stood a chance, in her defense. She felt vulnerable without the boy, the boy who was dead-shy to ask her out two years ago when she was 13 and he was 15, now she's 15 and he's 17. Why they were in the same class is beyond her knowledge,  but probably something to do with year 12 subjects.

With the world getting shittier everyday, the chances of survival are slim- and it's only been a week since Jungkook hit a ball through the art room window. 

As Helen and Jaebum carefully track their way up the stairs into the closed shopping centre, the weight of everything hit her. How were her parents? Was her family okay?

She never thought about it, as it made her homesick, one of the last things you want to feel while you're surrounded by dead cannibals. But as she strays further away from Yugyeom, things start to come to mind. 

"Be on guard, El, we don't know whats up here." Jaebum mumbles, snapping the young girl out of her thoughts. "Roger Wilco." She replies, following the taller boy.

Minutes passed, all they saw was shatter proof glass and closed stores which could be easily opened again, the whole place seemed to be completely untouched- at least, the first floor was. "We can probably go get the others now, this place seems empty." Jaebum announces, rolling his shoulders back. "I'll check the top floors, I don't trust this place." Helen mumbles eyes searching the building with curiosity. "El-"

"Jaebum, I appreciate your concern and whatnot, but I think it'd be better if I checked. I'm not taking any risks."

The boy bites his tongue before sighing deeply, patting her shoulder and nodding. "It's not a bad idea. Just be safe, like you said, we can't take any risks."

"Where's El? Is she okay?" Yugyeom jumps up from the bonnet of the car, panicking only very slightly. "She's fine, she's just double checking the next two floors. Christ, this place is big.." Jaebum holds a hand out for Bambam, who happily takes it. Jungkook shuffles over with tired eyes, backpack on and bat in hand. "Can we go up now?" He asks, trying to open his eyes more as his eyelids become heavier. "Yeah, we can. Just stick close to me, this parking lot might not be too safe."

The four boys headed back up the stairs from the underground parking lot, carrying their items with ease. They didn't have much, as they grabbed their bags then ran from the school.

Yugyeom stayed quiet as the air didn't feel right without Helen, it never did when she wasn't next to him. He watched as Jungkook sluggishly walked, eyes closing and opening slowly. 'He must be really tired.. let's just hope there's working showers and beds.' Yugyeom thought to himself, running a dirty hand through equally dirty hair.

"Oh thank fuck, I see the damn shopping centre." Yoongi groans, wiping his knife on his jeans, before placing it back in it's sheath. "We'll enter through the lower level, the doors are probably locked." Taehyung says with a sense of authority, wind rustling his somehow still silky grey hair. "Yeah yeah. Let's go." Hoseok stretches widely, missing Yoongi's face with his gun by a smidgen. "What the fuck- Be careful, dummy-" Yoongi hisses, grabbing Hoseok's hand with a faint blush.

"Ew, pda guys." Taehyung grimaces, shaking his head. 

As the centre neared, the three boys became more cautious and paranoid. The area they were in was barely populated by walkers, as they migrated towards the city for food. But, the big building in front of them was eerily silent- too silent. Paper flew around across the asphalt, creating noises as they slid away.

Things got even more strange when they saw a large truck parked, looking reinforced and dirty- someone was here with them, and they weren't prepared to take any risks. "Guys, there are people here." Hoseok pointed out, as if the other two haven't already made that speculation. "No shit Sherlock," Yoongi sighs, pausing, "Should we turn back? People have been hostile enough already, I don't want to take any chances-"

"We're going inside, we need the supplies and shelter. Plus, they might be willing to help us out." Taehyung moves forward to make his way up the concrete stairs. The other two hesitantly follow after the younger. Although, they were soon stopped when they heard voices behind the door. 

"Yugyeom, she's gonna be fine, so chill out-"

"Okay but we don't know that, and plus she went by herself, that's practically a death wish in this world!"

"Can you both chill out, please? We're trying to sleep.."

"Sorry Bammie, but Yugyeom you have to understand that she's one of our best fighters- There's a 1% chance she'll get hurt even a little bit." 

Taehyung purses his lips, playing a long slender hand on the door handle, and opening it. Two boys instantly looked their way, weapons up. "Who the fuck are you?" A tall, black haired boy frowns, his voice quiet. Two mattresses were on the floor, covering two bodies who slept peacefully- somehow. "We don't mean any harm-" Hoseok starts, moving out in front of Tae. "We just need somewhere to stay, somewhere to stock up on items." 

"What are your names?" A man, who stood a few centimetres underneath the first guy, asked. "Oh, I'm Hoseok. This is Taehyung and Yoongi, we're from the university." Hoseok beams, holding his hand out. "Right.. Who should I talk with to arrange things?" The man takes his hand, shaking it carefully. Meanwhile, the first boy stood with a glum look, clearly uncomfortable and distressed. "Probably Tae, he led us here." Yoongi speaks up. "Okay... Well, come on, we'll talk over here- those two are buggered." He gestures to the mattresses. 

"Who are you two?" Yoongi said with an edge to his voice. "I'm Jaebum, this tall kid is Yugyeom. Please excuse his bad attitude, he misses his girlfriend who is looking around a bit more." Jaebum rolls his eyes, continuing to walk off to the side with Taehyung. Yugyeom rolls his eyes mockingly, sitting down on a chair grumpily. 

"I fucking found a music shop, what is my luck? I'm ecstatic, I promise, I'm just very tir-" Everyone looks towards a shortish girl standing on the bottom of the stairs, holding a bag full of god knows what. Yugyeom jumps up suddenly bolting towards the girl. "El! Thank god, are you hurt??" He asks frantically, earning a frown from 'El'. "Yugyeom I was literally strolling around there's a whole number of nothing here."

"Jimin? Jimin, can you hear me?" Namjoon whispers through the walkie talkie, looking about the lobby of his company. "I miss you. I miss your voice, this fucking thing spread so fast. I'm sorry."
