Jungkook's journey of finding himself wasn't easy. After spending the first few months of the start of the apocalypse trying to search and create ways to get to South Korea, Jungkook had to accept the fact that he would never see his family again. He didn't even get to mourn his mother or wonder what happened to her, which led to him creating an imaginary world inside his head where the apocalypse was only happening in America and where the rest of the world was fine.
Jungkook has never been the one to accept or face the harsh reality, so creating the images of his parents hosting a funeral for him and then moving on, was better than accepting the truth that his mother was ripped apart by bloodthirsty walkers.
Unfortunately, this little habit played a large part in his downfall. Instead of accepting the truth that Marley had died, Jungkook denied it and believed that she was waiting for him in the woods. Jungkook's little fantasies were the exact thing that made his sanity chip away and his health crumble. And if it wasn't for the rest of the group, Jungkook knew he wouldn't live long enough to run into Katelyn and get a harsh slap of reality from her.
Katelyn did what everyone else feared and avoided to do. She wasn't soft or sympathetic with Jungkook, and she didn't excuse the murders he committed. Katelyn completely shattered the false illusion of Jungkook being the good guy and forced him to face the harsh truth- which was something he had always struggled to do.
Even though it was hard to listen to her words, and even harder to accept them, in the end Jungkook opened himself up to the possibility that what she was saying, was true. Jungkook realised that he wasn't okay and he had to change, the things he did shouldn't be excused just because he was hurting and grieving. Jungkook still had a long way to go, but this time, he was ready to grow and evolve, he was ready to embrace the change.

A small butterfly sat on top of a yellow petal of a blooming flower. It's midnight black wings with a pinch of dark blue in the mix, contrasted against the brightness of the flower. The small butterfly basked in the bright morning sun, it's wings occasionally fluttered as it rose in the air and perched on top of a different flower.
The little thing wasn't aware of the eyes watching it dance from a flower to a flower, as it tried to find the best spot to observe the sun caressing the tips of the trees. But the peaceful morning and serene atmosphere was crushed by the heavy boot of car engines, which made the butterfly flap its little wings and scramble away.
The brown eyes lifted away from the butterfly and focused on the field on the other side of the fence. Jungkook watched the edge of the trees with anticipation as he continued to listen to the rumble of busses getting louder and louder until the tip of an orange school bus peeked out from between the trees.
