  Jungkook could hear them, the footsteps, they surrounded him- walking around in circles and hiding among the shadows. His doe eyes stayed focused on Marley, who was sitting on the ground, staring behind him with wide eyes.

"Well?" A gruff voice broke through the air, causing the footsteps to come to an abrupt halt. Jungkook's breathing deepened and his back straightened as he felt the heavy weight of the gun press against the back of his head.

"Well what?" Jungkook hissed under his breath, his teeth nibbling on his bottom lip. He eyed the forest around them, trying to catch a glimpse of the male's other group mates, but he didn't see anything except for the trees and darkness.

A mocking laugh reached Jungkook's ears before a hand settled onto his shoulder, squeezed him tightly. Jungkook swallowed thickly, tensing and shifting uncomfortably under the weight of the touch. The grip on his shoulder tightened before he felt the man bend down to whisper in his ear, "Won't you invite us to sit? It's basic hospitality."

Jungkook gritted his teeth, keeping his lips sealed shut as he glared at the dancing fire in front of him. The grip on his shoulder tightened to the point of the guy's nails to sink into his skin before the cold tip of the gun slid across his head until it pressed into his temple.

"You..you can sit." Jungkook's eyes snapped over to Marley, who's eyes had become watery as she stared at the gun pressed against Jungkook's head. She sent him an apologetic look before bringing her hand up to her face and chewing on the sleeve of her shirt.

"Awww, aren't you a sweetheart?" The guy behind Jungkook cooed before the sound of footsteps returned, yet this time they were walking right towards them.

Jungkook's breath hitched in his throat and his eyes grew wide as he saw three more people emerge from the edge of the trees. The gun against his temple was pulled back before the hand on his shoulder shook him and a laugh ripped out of the man behind him.

"I'm just joking! We're all friend here, right?"

Jungkook didn't respond as he watched the three unfamiliar people smile at each other and settle down around the fire. The guy behind Jungkook released another chuckle before stepping away and walking around Jungkook to plop down next to him.

Jungkook swallowed thickly, his eyes travelling away from the others to look at the guy sitting next to him. The guy had a thick untamed beard, that reached down his chin, yet his head remained neatly shaved. Jungkook could see the remains of his last meal tangled in his beard, and as he grinned, he revealed a chipped front tooth and rotten teeth. The guy's form was larger than Jungkook's, dancing along the line of having muscles and being fat.

"The name's Kolten," Kolten grinned, placing a hand on Jungkook's knee and patting it gently. Kook kept quiet, playing with his sleeves and eyeing the hand on his knee before looking up at Marley.
