Taekook zombie apocalypse au

Chapter thirteen

Authors POV:
After spending hours in the field riding the horse Taehyung was finally getting the hang of things and was able to gallop around the field by himself. He was a fast learner Jungkook noted. Taehyung's excitement and pried was evident in the way he continued to release small giggles as he rode around the field with the proudest smile on his face. It was times like this that Taehyung forgot that he was ever worried and that the threat of death loomed around every corner. He forgot about his urgent need to find his group, his family.  That was until Jungkook brought him crashing back to reality.

"You really picked that up fast. We'll be able to start looking for the group in no time at all" Jungkook stated a hint of excitement in his voice.

Deep down he secretly missed the group too.  His group. The only group he'd been with since this whole thing started. He even missed Yoongi ,despite their initial confrontation, though he would never admit that to anyone if questioned.

"Can't we start looking today? You said it yourself, I picked this up fast. I'm ready to start looking. I know I am" Taehyung said almost begging the younger.

Jungkook shook his head "we have to at least wait till tomorrow. Spend the rest of the day practicing and we'll leave early tomorrow to look for them. I promise. Ok?"

Taehyung galloped over to him on the horse. "Pinky promise?" He asks leaning off the horse, holding his pinky out towards Jungkook.

Jungkook chuckled at his childish antics, shaking his head but reaching out and interlocking their pinkies nonetheless. "Pinky promise" he agreed.

The rest of the day was spent practicing his new skill, taking short brakes every now and then to let the horses rest. The practice was definitely necessary because the more confident Taehyung got the braver he got which led to him nearly falling off the horse several times. He also became good at getting on and off the horse by himself. When it got dark both men decided to call it quits and head back inside.

They now sat together in front of a blazing fire telling stories from before the world turned to shit and getting to know each other better because as close as they were they really didn't know all that much about each other.

Jungkook's POV:
We spent most of the night laughing and sharing stupid stories with each other. Turns out Taehyung and Jimin had known each other since before this whole thing had started. They had even gone to college together. Taehyung was sharing stupid drunk college stories, mainly about Jimin giving me the perfect fuel to use against him and embarrass him when we got back to our group. The fire was burning low as Taehyung was telling me the story of how him and Jimin had gotten locked out of their college dorm after a drunken night out. He was half way through telling me about how they were so drunk that they thought it would be a good idea to sleep outside in a bush and wait for the morning when their sober selves could figure out a plan to get inside, when he interrupted himself with a yawn and I could see him struggling to keep his eyes open which made me chuckle.

"Here, lay down in my lap" I said, feeling a sudden burst of confidence take over me.

Taehyung had no complaints instantly accepting my invitation and laying his head in my lap.

"You know, you're pretty comfy" he mumbled sleepily cause a pale pink to dust my cheeks.

I chose to just laugh the comment off. As the silence in the room grew and the only sound was the crackling from the dying fire and the quite whistling from the wind outside, I risked a quick glance down at Taehyung to check if he was asleep. As I looked down I made eye contact with a very much awake Taehyung. Usually by now one of us would have looked away and broken eye contact, but not this time. We continued to gaze into each other's eyes, a smile slowly started spreading across Taehyung's face. My heart started to pick up speed causing me to look away and cough awkwardly.

Taehyung chuckled softly at my awkward reaction. He took my hand in his, slowly interlocking our fingers, before bringing our joined hands to his lips and placing a soft kiss to my wrist. A blush instantly blooming across my face.

"You're so cute, you know that" Taehyung mumbled lightly against my wrist which was still pressed to his lips.

My blush deepened and the realization dawned on me that I was falling in love with my best friend.

Hey friends, it's been a while. I think I'm gonna say that every time I wright a chapter. But I have an excuse this time, I've been doing exams which in my opinion is a pretty good excuse. So I decided to take a brake from studying to wright this chapter. It's a little more romantic then the previous chapters I think? I'm not really sure if I'm moving things too fast or too slow but I'll figure it out eventually, hopefully with the help of you guys. Anyway I'm sorry this chapter was bad and kinda rushed, but I hope you enjoy it anyway. Thanks you so much for reading.

And until next time, I appreciate your existence
Bye 👋
