Met in an Apocalypse | BTS story

6

Jungkook was walking in the woods when he spotted someone. He was about to walk off when he realised that it was Taehyung. He slowly walked over and saw that he was shaking and his face was sweating. He widened his eyes and shook Taehyung's shoulders to get his attention. Taehyung slowly his opened his eyes and they looked at each other for a couple of seconds. "...Hey, what happened...? And where's your friend at?" "...Someone t... took Jimin..." "Jimin?" "Yeah... w... what's even your name?" "Jungkook. What about you?" "T... Taehyung..." Jungkook sat down next to Taehyung and Taehyung moved closer to him resting his head on Jungkook's lap. "Are you here alone?" "No... there's these other two guys Namjoon and Jin, they went to try and find Jimin." "...But they left you here alone?" "I couldn't go with them, I'm sick." "You are. You have such a bad fever, you're even sweating." Taehyung sighed and said, "It's been nearly all day since they've left. He turned his head to look at Jungkook then asked, "Can you... look for them...?" Jungkook thought for a minute then said, "They might just have taken Jimin far away. We should wait for a bit." "Ok" Taehyung sighed and closed his eyes. "I'm sorry..." Jungkook looked down and whispered. "What?" Taehyung opened his eyes again. "I'm such a coward... I don't want to get attacted to anyone because I'm scared of loosing them..." Jungkook looked up and sighed. "But I've already met 4 people. You and Jimin, and these other two people Yoongi and Hoseok." "It's not your fault, Jungkook." Jungkook looked at Taehyung then Taehyung said, "This whole thing is getting to everyone in a different way, don't worry. And... we need friends to survive at this point in time. It's hard to live off by your own." Jungkook nodded tears threatening to fall from his eyes. Taehyung sat up and hugged him then said," Let it out." Jungkook let out a sob then dug his face into Taehyung's shoulder crying. Taehyung gently patted Jungkook's back in attempt to calm him down. After a minute Jungkook pulled back so Taehyung looked at him. "Don't tell anyone about this... please." Taehyung nodded and rested his head on Jungkook's shoulder. "It's nothing to be ashamed of, so don't think on it." Jungkook chuckled. "...What?" "I'm the one supposed to be supporting you when you're sick, but it's the other way around. You really are something." Taehyung smiled slightly and closed his eyes. Jungkook sighed and pushed Taehyung back slightly and Taehyung looked at him confused. Jungkook put the hoodie that Taehyung was using as a blanket over his head. He layed Taehyung down then layed down next to him engulfing him in a hug. "You'll get sick too" Taehyung argued. "It's fine, just rest." Taehyung closed his mouth and closed his eyes, falling asleep.

Jungkook woke up the next morning and realised that Namjoon and Jin weren't back yet, and he thought something was wrong. He carefully detached himself from Taehyung, but Taehyung woke up anyways. "Jungkook?" he said in a morning voice. "Oh sorry, did I wake you up?" Taehyung pulled Jungkook closer and buried his face into his chest. "...Are you ok?" "I feel worse" Taehyung groaned. Jungkook sighed and said, "Namjoon and Jin aren't back yet, I think something's wrong." He pulled back and asked, "Do you have any medicine?" "Yeah..." Taehyung pointed at the medical bag on the ground. Jungkook picked it up and opened it, looking for any type of medicine. When he found some he gave it to Taehyung with some water and he gulped it down. "I don't wanna leave you alone but I gotta go and check on them." Taehyung nodded weakly and Jungkook sighed. "You can take some more medicine after a couple of hours, try to rest, ok?" "Ok." With that Jungkook left and searched the woods.

After hours of searching he found traces of blood and they seemed to go somewhere, so he followed it. He heard voices so he hid behind a tree and peeked over to see what was happening. He saw Jimin and two other people tied up, and about 10 other guys around them. Jungkook sighed and leaned his head against the tree, wondering how on earth he was supposed to get them out. Then he realised. Those guys probably wanted to get something out of them, or maybe they used Jimin to get others to come too. Maybe he could fake something out, that he was their friend too and their last hope or something. Pushing all the downsides aside, he stepped out and walked towards them. They turned around and one or two of them pointed their gun at him, but that didn't stop him. "Who are you?" "Could ask you the same question. Why do you have my friends tied up, huh?" Jimin looked over and widened his eyes, and the other two guys just looked confused if anything else. "Well stupid of you to come alone. Search him." "Go ahead" Jungkook put his arms in the air and the guy raised his eyebrow. They searched Jungkook but he had nothing in his pockets. "Now that I have nothing, can you let them go?" "Oh, I don't think so" the guy walked closer to Jungkook but he stood his ground. "You come here alone, empty handed, and expect us to let them go?" "Well why are you keeping them here if they have no use to you?" "There's still a use. What about that guy, who's this dude's friend?" he asked pointing at Jimin. That's when Jungkook put up an act. "Shall I tell you what about that guy? He was worried as hell and got a bad fever, and because of this crappy life he got an extreme fever and even died!!" Jimin and the other two guys widened their eyes. "Taehyung died?!" Jimin yelled in shock. "You shut it" the guy snapped. He looked back at Jungkook and said, "If I believe you, why should I let them go?" "What reason do you have to keep them here?! I don't get you! You keep people in captivity and kill them for no damn reason!" That got it. The guy pointed his gun at Jungkook's head and said, "You know what? I'll let them go. But you're staying." "Why? You're gonna kill me for no reason?" "You watch your mouth" the guy said through gritted teeth. Jimin, Namjoon and Jin were let go and thrown out whilst Jungkook stayed there unable to leave.
