5 days adrift

a sudden jerk of the boat startles me awake and i bolt upright, causing my head to spin.

"ugh," i clutch my temple as black spots dance across my vision.

"jungkook?" although his voice is raspy, it still sounds like music to my ears.

i turn to get a glimpse of taehyung's worried expression. "i'm fine, it's nothing."

"jungkook, you need to eat. and drink some water."

i shake my head. "it's fine, you're the one who really needs it."

"jungkook, you know i won't be able to last very much lo-"

"no! don't say that!" i yell, even though my voice is hoarse.

i scramble over to taehyung's side. "you're going to make it. we both are. we're going to survive this together."

i touch my forehead to taehyung's, cupping his face.

"we'll make it through this together."

a tear trickles down my cheek.

"i promise."
