First Person Point Of View
{Taehyung}

Recap: Yoongi and Hoseok had walked through the cave entrance and tackled Taehyung into a tight bear hug.

I smiled in delight as Yoongi trapped me into a tight embrace. I knew my brother was safe but it eased my heart to have him in my arms.

I felt a cool and wet sensation as Yoongi nuzzled into my shoulder. I can't even begin to imagine how my twin felt when those alarms went off. My brother wasn't allowed to leave and check to see if his friends and family were safe. All the platinum blonde haired male could do was hope and pray.

"I... I didn't know if... If you were safe." A broken and quiet voice whimpers from my shoulder. I just tightened my grip on Yoongi and rubbed his back with my right hand.

"I know, but I'm safe all thanks to Jungkook." I whisper back as I feel my brother hold back a sob. "It's okay to cry you know." I say as my shoulder gets wetter and another sob is held back. Once my words reach the other's ears a dam breaks loose.

After a couple of minutes I feel Yoongi pulls away from me and wipe away the remaining tears. After he is more presentable his head shoots up with a stern expression and puffy eyes.

"No one talks about what just happened." Yoongi coldly barks out his sentence. Everyone else just laugh at the other male's change of pace. In one second he is a cry baby and the next he is his typical expressionless self.

"Speaking of Jungkook, where is he and Ho-Jin?" The blonde asks after the laughing had settled down.

When the male's statement was said the room went quiet with fear. With the lack of a response Yoongi realized that they were out there fighting.

"How about this. A few of us can go and check if they are handing out food." I speak up to try and ease the fear. I didn't want to wallow in suffocating silence any longer.

"That sound great." Jin says as he shoots up from the ground. He probably couldn't stand the silence either and wanted some 'fresh' air. "My sister is sleeping so I volunteer to go." I nod my head and look around at the rest.

"I will come too, the more hands the better." I tired and worn out Hoseok pushed himself off of the ground with weary arms. He looked like he was about to pass out into a deep sleep.

"No way man you need some sleep. I'll go instead." Ho-Sung pushes Hoseok towards one of the makeshift beds. The orange haired male whines in displeasure as he hits the mat.

"Great let's go then!" I bounce over to the cave opening –after I sat Yoongi down on a bed too– and beckon the other two over. I just really hope they have food available, I'm starving.

Me and the others come bursting back into our little hole with medium sized tupperwares in our arms.

"Sorry boys our meal isn't very big." Jin says with a cheery voice as he hands out some tupperwares.

He wasn't lying though. The government was only able to get their hands on small portions of food. It was just some rice, a small amount of vegetables and meat as well as a small roll.

I shook Yoongi awake and plopped the meal into his lap. He stared at it for a long moment before he popped the lid off. I just chuckle at his confusion caused by his sleep.

"Hey I have a question." Yoongi speaks up after a couple of bites. "You calculate the number of the farmed food right?"

"Yeah why?" I just keep eating as Yoongi figures out his question. Yoongi opened his mouth a couple of times but nothing ever came out. The guy must be very disoriented still.

"How many... no how much crops are being collected? Is it enough to give food for a year or two?" Yoongi finally asks me his question, though he was much louder than I expected. Louder than he himself expected as his hand shot to his mouth.

"Umm we barely scrape by with a month worth of food." I say back. "Definitely no where near a years worth of food." I chuckle at the thought of the capital having a years worth of food.

"It's just someone in the fields said that our work should be enough for a few years." The blonde says back to me before going back to eating.

"That does make sense, the numbers should be bigger." My heart drops in a new understanding. "Someone is hiding the numbers and the food." Everyone's heads shoot to me as my words float towards their ears.

"I guess the government has more secrets." Namjoon speaks up with a tight jaw. He himself knows that the numbers aren't matching up with this new found information.

I was about to agree with him before a loud booming bounces around the tunnels.

"THE EVACUATION IS NOW ENDING. PREPARE FOR DEPARTURE FROM THE TUNNELS." Government officials yank open the curtains as the pass the message onwards.

And all prier thoughts leave my mind as I run towards the hole entrance. I shove past all the people that crowd the tunnels. I have to get out of here and find Jungkook.

I reach the ramp right as the wall behind to open and the light of the afternoon peaks in. I just need to find Jungkook and hug him then slap him, then hug him again. I'll probably cry a thousand times too.
