"OKAY. We'll be right there." Yoongi hangs up the phone then slid it into his pocket, his eyes right after darting towards mine.

"What did Namjoon-hyung say?" I ask.

He sighs, uncertain whether it was annoyance or frustration. Maybe it is the latter. Just in time he sighed, the sound of ravens can be heard from the distance, a flock of them circling around, hovered above the lifeless and gloomy forest we were just about to enter where they came from. "Zombies — they're coming. That's what he said. So we gotta leave quick."

"What about Jungkook and Jimin? What about them?"

"I don't know. And this is what's frustrating me." He pulls his phone back and shoves the screen into my face. "I've been calling them on our way here. No one's answering."

"Maybe they've already called Namjoon. M-Maybe they know." It couldn't be that they're lost like noona, right?

"You're predictions are wrong. I've talked to Namjoon. He said they haven't come back yet and he couldn't dial them. Something's definitely wrong."

"Does Namjoon know about this?"

"No." He sighs, muttering a curse under his breath. "This is driving me insane. We better head back and tell them we should find the others before the zombies find us." He starts to walk away quickly, then takes to a stop when he noticed I am still not following him behind. "Come on," he says sharply; with his head turned over his shoulder, he sends me a glare. "Don't make me repeat myself, Taehyung."

"I'm coming," I stammer, trailing behind as my eyes never leave the ground. It takes a while for me to notice he's already reached a greater distance from where I am, so I run and catch up with him until we are able to catch a glimpse of the gas station from afar. The sun has gotten hotter, I can now feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead as we run. I can feel the heat biting my skin, sometimes it feels like I'm getting burned.

From behind, I can hear the faint sounds of the ravens. It sends me an eerie feeling. Something wrong seems to be going on but I'm not sure what if I'm thinking of is right. I set my thoughts aside as we near the station.

The moment we reached the front doors of the resto, the doors swing open as a familiar face with widened eyes welcome us.

"Jin," Yoongi pants, "what happened?"

I study Jin. The dark bags under his eyes show how restless he has been in the past few days. I heard that he's been working on something, something I'm not certain and wasn't aware of but Namjoon knows what it is. It seems I haven't take out of my curiosity and yet; I still haven't asked him about it.

"You . . . you won't believe this," he says. Sometimes I wonder if he's the one panting instead. Yoongi and I exchange glances. "Come in, I'll show you." He pushes the doors aside and storms inside, the two of us following him into the dining.

Just as we entered, I catch a glimpse of Hoseok-hyung whose head emerges from the counter behind. "Oh, you guys back already?"

"Any sign of changes Hoseok?" Namjoon's voice that somehow holds a mixed feeling of paranoia and anxiety intervenes, it seems like it came from the kitchen just beyond the counter. Soon he comes out from the kitchen, then his eyes land on the two of us. "Taehyung. Yoongi." His voice suddenly changes, down to a relieved tone.

"No, not yet," Hoseok finally answers, as his gaze leaves where he's looking at towards him.

"What happened?" I ask, watching Jin round the counter and kneel down beside Hoseok who are looking into something we can't see from here.
