The Last Hope

Chapter 9, Separation...

*No one's POV*

It was silent as they walked. The rain had stopped after drenching them and their clothes were now sticking to them. The oldest were in front, apart from Yoongi who was at the back talking with Jungkook.

Jimin was wondering by himself in the middle as he watched Taehyung try to bother Jin while Namjoon kept hitting him. "Hey Jimin, you thought about dying your hair again?" Hoseok asked as he left the others to go ahead and walked by his side.

"U-Um, not really. I wanna keep this colour," Jimin said and looked at his knife holder. Suho always liked his hair, said the colour brought out his eyes well and said it was unique to see someone with silver hair nowadays.

"I think you would suit orange, would do you think Yoongs!?!" Hoseok called out behind and Jimin turned to see the older. He had a fist hold of Jungkook's hair and looked up tilting his head. 

"Na, the colour he has now is great. Brings out his personality and eyes," Yoongi said smiling at the younger and giving him a slight wink. Jimin felt the heat rush to his face as he turned away and walked up to the others in front, leaving a laughing Hoseok behind.

Namjoon turned and shook his head, sighing at the others behind them. "Honestly, I worry for them sometimes," Namjoon said and Jin laughed. He ended up holding Taehyung's hand who was happily swinging them back and fourth. "Happy you have some sense Jimin."

Jimin smiled at the compliment and nodded his head. Jin smiled at the younger and his partner as well, Namjoon barley gave anyone else good words so this was good that he was warming up to him. 

The group wasn't planning on where they were going, the only time they will stop is when Namjoon sees a good spot. 

Fifth-teen more minutes of walking and more of the infected were behind them. They have turned for a while, so they had lost their ability to run. The group at the front turned a corner, but Namjoon forced them all back and peaked around. A horde of the infected was walking to them.

"Guys, we're gonna have to run," Namjoon whispered and everyone nodded grabbing their guns. On Namjoon's call, he raised his fist up and they ran in the open and the eye of the infected. 

The infected cried out when they saw the living, bolting to them. 

Fear started to bubble inside Jimin, scared someone he cared about once again was going to die because of him. He was trying to run at his full speed, but tried to always look back at the others, noticing how Yoongi was slightly trailing behind. Jimin slowed his pace down, to grab Yoongi's hand and to try and pull him along.

Jungkook was ahead of them and called out to Namjoon seeing the problem. However, there was another problem that neither of the groups see. A hole was in the path.

Jimin's feet went into the hole, one of his ankles twisting as he collapsed to the ground. Before he hit the ground, he had let go of Yoongi's hand so the older turned and saw him hit the ground. "Jimin!!! You alright!?!?" Yoongi screamed gaining the attention of the group.

He turned and saw, the infected were getting closer and anxiety was racing. 

"Go run! I twisted my ankle just run!!" Jimin yelled as he struggled to pull himself up. He was on the verge of tears, the group was trying to get to him. "Please I beg of you to run!!"

"We won't leave you!!" Namjoon yelled as he dragged Jungkook over. "Pick him up and run ahead. Meet us at the lighthouse at the edge of the city!"

Jungkook nodded his head as he crouched down to scoop Jimin up while the rest of the group turned to shoot the undead to slow them down. 

Once safe in arms, Jungkook took off running with another pair of footsteps behind him but he refused to look back. He kept going, until he found a abandoned convenient store so he ran into there. He waited until the other person ran in after him to close the door and try to place Jimin somewhere safe. 

The person, who he now saw was Yoongi grabbed Jimin and dragged him away to let Jungkook board up the door. 

"Stay here and silent, I'm gonna go help him," Yoongi whispered and placed Jimin down on the counter. He quickly kissed Jimin's head and ran off to the door.

Jimin switched out the hold of his gun to his knife and looked down, his ankle was bleeding as well. He guessed he must of caught it on something.

His eyes wondered over to the two, throwing all sorts at the door and windows to block anything from getting in. But slight rustling caught him off guard and he turned his head to it. A rotting infected was basically crawling over to him, snapping whatever teeth it had left at Jimin. 

He jumped off the side, using the counter to keep him up as he waited for the undead to get close. Then he drove the knife into it's head without any trouble and watched as it's body hit the floor.

Two pairs of sighing filled the room as Jungkook and Yoongi turned their attention to Jimin who was still standing. Once they noticed the body on the ground, Yoongi ran to Jimin while Jungkook went to have a look at the rest of the floor. 

"Why didn't you call out? I would've been the first to run over," Yoongi whined as he helped Jimin back up the counter. He put his hand to Jimin's ankle and put a little pressure down, seeing the younger flinch and moving his hand straight away. Noticing the blood, he ripped a piece of his shirt and cleaned it up.

"You two were busy, I didn't want to drag you away. Jungkook needed you more than me," Jimin said and looked around. The shop was mostly raided, only bagged stuff and a few medical supplies were sitting. 

"Idiot, when it comes to you I'll never be too busy," Yoongi said and went to the medical isle. He looked at some of the boxes, trying to find something and only smiling to himself when he picked up a box and walked back to Jimin. "Ankle support, this should help."

Jimin looked at the box and nodded his head reaching down to remove his shoe until a hand stopped him. Yoongi was holding it and shook his head and started to untie it for Jimin. Once undone, he took off his shoe and sock.

"Why?" Jimin asked a little red faced. "I-I could've done it myself ya know."

"Yeah, well I felt like wanting to do it," Yoongi replied and put the support on. Jimin just watched him, not wanting to take his eyes away from him. He found the man in front of him enticing, handsome and something about him was mysterious. Yoongi alone made Jimin happy to be with the group.

"I am interrupting something here?" they heard bringing Jimin out his trance. They turned and saw Jungkook standing there with some boxes of something. "So Yoongi has a foot kink? Ya learn something new everyday."

"Fuck off before I shove a coin up your nose," Yoongi growled and put Jimin's sock and shoe back on once the support was on properly. "What's that your holding anyone?"

"Cookies!" Jungkook yelled happily showing the front. Yoongi rolled his eyes at the younger, but smiled fondly at him watching him bounce over and sit next to Jimin. "Want one? They're chocolate chip."

Jimin shyly smiled, still not used to being close to anyone but Yoongi and reached his hand in the box. Yoongi followed this action and jumped up in between the two pair. 

"We need to go soon, you still have your radio Jungkook?" Yoongi asked and watched the younger move his jacket to see it on his belt. "In about a hour, call Namjoon and see where they are. We're gonna let Jimin rest for a bit."

After this, Jungkook started to hum some random tune while Yoongi rested his head on Jimin's shoulder as the three ate cookies.

Poor Jimin, has anyone ever twisted their ankle? Only thing I have ever had is my knee pop out of place and pop back in. Hope everyone is doing fine!!!
