53: Hunting

Jungkook rolls up his sleeves, trying to look all manly. His biceps bulge out as he flexes his arms, holding the makeshift spear tightly in his hand.

"How are you going to catch anything with that?" Jimin judges, scoffing.

Jungkook scoffs back, sarcastically. "How d'ya think the cave people did it?"

"You really think this is a good idea?" Namjoon asks doubtfully, as Jungkook and Taehyung start placing bets again over who could kill something first. You couldn't help thinking that no matter how much they squabbled, neither of them would have the heart to actually kill an animal.

"Where did you find that thing?" Hoseok asks. His eyes go wide as he tries to keep out of Jungkook's spearing distance to avoid being narrowly stabbed. The thing may have been a makeshift weapon out of a bamboo stick and broken glass but it could easily poke your eye out.

"I made it."

"Hah. That pathetic thing won't beat this." Taehyung produces a club spiked with needles. Compared to Jungkook's invention this looked more like caveman material, except perhaps the pointy needles were a modern addition.

Hoseok screeches. "Seriously, where the hell do you guys find these things?!"

"Hyung, I think we should just lay traps and then chill until one gets caught," Yoongi said, not really into the whole running after animals agenda. His plan of hunting quite differed from the maknae line which in turn differed greatly from Seokjin's.

"What are you saying?" Jin shook his head, wagging his finger as he placed an arm around Yoongi's shoulder. "Use your brain, Yoongi-ah."

You and Hoseok sniggered at Yoongi's reaction to that. His expression was priceless offended. 

"Yeah, what's the plan?" Jungkook demands, getting impatient.

"Can we make teams?"

"This is not a game, you idiots!" Seokjin sighs deeply, looking tiredly at the younger ones. "We need to catch something or we are going to starve and if you are just planning on running around with those ridiculous inventions then just stay out of it. You have to think logically on this."

Jungkook soundlessly mimicks Jin's face just as he turns around in a split second, making disgusted expressions. "Here's what we're going to do." Jin says decidedly. It was interesting to see how all things concerning food suddenly appointed Seokjin as manager/leader. In fact, Jin was always behind things, Namjoon was just the face of it. He was the oldest after all.

Although it was strange how a celebrity, the person who is normally the idol and main look of things was now placing himself behind the scenes, working in content. He had probably worked things this way with his children, you assumed.

"First we're going to be silent." He shoots looks at three specific faces. "We don't know the fauna in this forest, so there will be a team for collecting berries and simpler vegetation."

"You mean like being vegetarian?" Namjoon complains, not in favor of this idea at all. You grin, unable to think of a meal without meat.

"Consider them as side dishes of nutrition." Jin forces out through gritted teeth, not wanting to raise his voice at Joon.

"Ew."

"I don't want nutrition."

"Jungkook if you don't shut the hell up I will cook you."

"Anyway," Jin continues, holding on tighter to Yoongi making Yoongi feel slightly uncomfortable. "That is the base plan. But how do predators hunt? In stealth. In secret. And that is exactly how we will do it. No doubt, from the eight of us, one of us will come upon some sort of animal be it a rabbit or a deer or whatever crazy thing this universe can come up with. Tae, you can fly to cover more sight. No matter what it is, if it lives, if it runs, it is food. Got it?"
