"mom?"
"taehyung, sweetie, are you ok? how's camp going?" his mom sounds rushed, eager almost.
"um, good. we came to the city, just for today to focus on, um. . . environmental science and uh, yeah," he tries to sound as calm as possible, even with the mayhem that's happening outside. the metal barrier rattles, he goes deeper into the corner of the wall till he's pressed up against it.
she clears her throat, "oh ok, that's great. i've sent your professor a message telling her you're getting picked up tomorrow morning ok? you're going to the house in namhae. mr song will pick you up at our hotel, can you get to the hotel taehyung?"
something was definitely off, he ponders wether or not he should bring up the creatures. "yeah, i can do that."
"ok love, i'll see you tomorrow."
he puts his phone away and turns back to jimin and jeon. "do you guys wanna go to solar hotel? it should be ten minutes away, we can take a bus."
"a hotel is the worst place we can go during a zombie apocalypse. we need to avoid crowded areas. you guys can stay here, there's a bed in the basement and some couches. just for tonight," jimin offers.
of course, jeon agrees with the shorter, dismissing taehyung's offer and calling it stupid. taehyung wishes he hadn't felt a pang of something in his chest. "ok," he agrees too, following jimin down the flight of stairs and into a well built basement. the lights don't look too bad, and although unused, the room was pretty decent.
"one of you can take the bed," jimin points towards said bed. it's against the wall, tiny and old looking.
jeon pushes taehyung towards it, "he'll take it, kim here has always had a bed to sleep on, it would be weird for him to sleep on a couch."
taehyung feels humiliated, how could jeon say that about him? but as always, he keeps silent and limps towards the bed, sitting down and lifting his foot up. jimin makes his way towards him, sitting down next to him, "i can pop it back in place, i used to work at the hospital."
taehyung hesitates in nodding, but he really wants the uncomfortable pain to go away. "ok," he replies, taking off his shoe and showing jimin his (even more) swollen ankle.
jimin grimaces, "how did you walk on it for so long? and with no painkillers."
taehyung stays silent. jimin unwraps the gauze and throws it to the side. "hey jeongguk? can you come here for a minute?" the raven comes over, standing next to taehyung. jimin grabs the base of taehyung's foot and his ankle, "hold him. this is gonna hurt, sorry taehyung."
he's not sure what kind of pain to expect, he grips the bedsheets, too embarrassed to hold onto jeon. jimin takes a fast inhale, taehyung tenses up as he feels the grip on his ankle tighten. jeon's hands grab his shoulders. . .
SNAP.
he doesn't even have a chance to yelp or scream. his body jolts, but it's held down by the muscle pig that's holding him. taehyung feels like passing out, but all he says is a small, "ow."
after they settle down on their corresponding spots and jimin goes upstairs to retrieve some things, no one speaks a word. taehyung has changed into a new set of clothes, trying to hide the versace logo that's sewn into his night shirt. jimin comes back downstairs, handing both jeon and taehyung a bottle of water and bowls of ramyeon. they eat in silence, letting the faint sound of chaos that's still going on outside fill the room.
"thank you jimin," taehyung bows his head as he disposes of his trash.
jimin nods back.
