They made it safely outside, unobstructed by any zombies, and Namjoon pulled Amara aside. He waited for the others to get into the van, and then he spoke, "are you sure we can trust this guy?"

"Honestly..." Amara looked over at Taeyong, who was visible through the driver's seat window. "What choice do we have?"

"Sure, it's not too smart to be so trusting of others in times like this, but it's not like we have any other options." She took his hand in hers and peered up at him. "Plus, look at the guys. They're exhausted and need a place to rest. It's not like we can't take care of ourselves when need be; if they attack us, then we can just attack back. Don't worry too much Namjoon, as long as we all stick together we'll be fine."

She smiled assuredly at him and started pulling him towards the waiting van. "Let's go, they're waiting for us, and it's not good to be out in the open like this."

Namjoon nodded and joined her in the back of the van.

It was an hour later when Amara was roused awake by the van coming to a shuddering halt.

Raising her head from its resting place on Namjoon's shoulder, she drowsily peered outside. All she could see was trees and a large warehouse that appeared to have been abandoned for a copious amount of time.

"This is it!" Taeyong opened the door and got out, with a spring in his step. It seemed like him and his group didn't have visitors often.

Namjoon cautiously stepped out of the van and motioned with his eyes for the others to stand behind him; he wanted them to be ready if things turned dangerous for them.

"Wait here, I'll let them know we have guests!" Taeyong beamed at them and then entered the building.

A few minutes later, he came back out and gestured for them to go inside.

"Welcome to our home!"
