Apocalypse | BTS

Chapter 22

short chapter UWU

"Ow! What the hell Leanne?!" Hoseok yelled as his friend slapped a bandaid over the cut on his face while she was walking past. She snorted and laughed a little.
"I'm sorry, but when I asked for you to come over you didn't, so I decided to take matters into my own hands." She chuckled, putting her hands on her hips as Hobi rolled his eyes.
"You're so strange." He groaned, and Leanne rose an eyebrow.
"Says you, horse-face."
"Hey! That actually offended me you know."
"He wasn't wrong."
"Why you little-"

Jungkook and Jimin couldn't help but laugh as they watched the two fight childishly; it was definitely the comic relief that they needed right now.
"That's enough, I'm going to drive." Hobi grumbled, dragging his feet behind him as he made his way to the front. Leanne just chuckled and shook her head, going over to sit in the passenger seat beside Hoseok.
"Hey Yuri, do you mind if I take over for a while?" Hoseok asked the blonde girl in the drivers seat, who smiled and nodded silently as she pulled over to let Hoseok drive.

"Babe, come here." Jimin called over to Yuri from the back, Jungkook raising an eyebrow at his words.
"Babe?" He questioned with a smirk, and Jimin just laughed a little.
"Yeah, Yuri and I have been dating for over a year now. We've stayed together since escaping Africa, and I met her in the truck that you ended up not getting on. She was a military nurse." The blonde-haired male responded, wrapping an arm over his girlfriend's shoulders as she stood shyly next to them.
"Well, it's nice to meet you Yuri. And really, thanks for everything, both of you. We wouldn't be alive otherwise." Jungkook said with a smile, bowing formerly and earning one back.

"All this time I thought you'd died in Africa! I was genuinely devastated I... I just can't believe it. How did you escape?" Jimin asked Jungkook incredulously, and Jungkook ran a hand through his hair.
"You know I used to always dislocate my knee? It hasn't happened for over a year now that I come to think of it." Jungkook mumbled, Jimin nodding as he thought back, a smile creeping over his lips at a memory.
"Yeah, like that one time you fell over in a ditch during the beginner military training and I literally had to carry you." Jimin laughed, and Jungkook pinched the bridge of his nose in embarrassment.
"Oh God don't remind me." He groaned, Jimin apologising with a cheeky smile and ushering him to continue.

"Well, I dislocated my knee when trying to get on the truck, but those two saved me. Leanne is a pilot and Hoseok is a mechanic so they fixed up a broken jet and used that to escape, taking me with them." Jungkook explained, both Yuri and Jimin's eyebrows raising simultaneously as they were clearly impressed.
"Wow. Well, for what it's worth, I'm very glad that you're alive Jungkook. I've missed you a lot." Jimin said, leaning forwards and hugging the other who smiled and returned it.
"Me too."

Leanne's voice from the front gained all of their attention as they chatted and caught up in the back.
"Guys, you should all rest up. Hoseok and I will stay up." She said, the others smiling gratefully towards the two at the front.
"Are you sure? I don't mind staying up." Jungkook said, and she shook her head.
"Hobi and I are used to it. Besides, you've all worked really hard and I don't think I'll be able to sleep after all that anyway." She said with a little laugh, Jungkook nodding.
"Okay, shout if you need anything." He added.
"Will do." Hoseok piped up, Jungkook satisfied with the response.

"I'm gonna sleep on the floor next to Taehyung." Jungkook said, signalling to the brunette who was already laying peacefully across the sofa.
"There's some blankets in the boxes at the back, and a small travel mattress, if you two don't mind sharing." Jungkook offered, Jimin taking his girlfriend's hand and smiling happily.

"That's perfect, thanks Jungkook." He said, the raven-haired nodding in return, before going to grab a blanket and setting a sleeping bag on the floor. He draped the blanket over Taehyung, making sure that he wouldn't be cold if he was to wake up that night, before unzipping the sleeping bag and curling up into it. The exhaustion soon overcame him, forcing his lidded eyes to close and lips to part as he slipped into dreamland.

The RV fell silent with sleep.
