The Final Turn

Chapter: 23

"Please please come with us" Yeonjun pleaded as while they stood there in front of the raptor. "I mean...are you sure its safe there?"

"It is. I actually know a short cut!" Namjoon smiled, hoping to convince the girl. "Look! Namjoon is coming with us! You won't have anyone to talk to anymore" Yeonjun furrowed while Yeji held her head.

"I'm not sure Yeonjun....but I don't really have a choice do I?" Yeji sighed. "Exactly. You don't. Now let's go" Yeonjun nodded his head while she released her wrist from his grip.

"I have to pack my stuff first" Yeji was about to go away to pack but luckily, Hansoo was ready. "Oh actually....I kind of already packed your stuff yesterday because I thought you were coming"

Yeji stood there with eyes wide as the sun. "You did? H-How?" She continued while Hansoo chuckled. "I have my ways"

Jungkook scoffed and placed his arm around her shoulder.

"Ow!" Hansoo flinched as she felt her tattoo sting in pain. "Oh fuck I forgot sorry" Jungkook quickly snapped his arm back to place.

"So are you coming or not?" Namjoon let out a breath, getting impatient. "Fine. I'm coming" Yeji smiled as she got on the truck first than everyone else.

Yeonjun giggled in excitement and got on the backseat beside her. "Can I drive? You guys can just sleep and chill for the meantime" Namjoon volunteered which was a relief for Jungkook. "Of course man!"

"Nice!" Namjoon released a victory smile while he got on the driver's seat.

"Hey Kook...." Hansoo cleared her throat. Jungkook hummed in response as he looked at her. "Can we stay at the tailgate?" She pleaded while she pointed towards the trunk of the raptor with all their stuff.

"Of course babe I'll go get spare pillows and blankets" Jungkook smiled as he went inside for pillows while Hansoo got up the trunk. She had always wanted to do this ever since before the outbreak.

After a while, Jungkook finally has finished gathering some spare bedclothes.

She yawned as he finally got beside him. "Move over here" He commanded while Hansoo did so. Jungkook rolled down the blanket for them to comfortably sit on.

Following that, they both finally shifted positions to chill on. Hansoo was laying the right side of her head to his shoulder as the tattoo was still healing. "Ready?" They heard Namjoon roll down his window and ask.

The couple gave him a thumbs up in response as they felt the truck finally started moving. Hansoo sighed in relief as the wind hit her face while Jungkook closed his eyes and took a big breath.

This moment was very special. Just them and their apocalyptic and overgrown world. Who knew that it could be this peaceful?

As they were speeding up and now driving beside a cliff, the wind suddenly became freezing while Hansoo shivered. Jungkook shot his eyes open as he felt her shake.

"Here you go" Jungkook grunts while he removes his sweater and hands it to her. Hansoo looks at him while she hesitantly grabbed the sweater. "Take it"

A smile started curving up her lips as she slipped it on. It felt so warm and it gave her comfort as it smelt like a lavender field.

"Its nice right?" Jungkook chuckled while he looked at her. "It is"

"Well it does look cute on you" He giggled as he squeezed her cheeks which was red from his compliment. "You look even cuter when you're blushing because of me"

"Stop" Hansoo covered her face as it started burning in embarrassment. "Nooo please don't cover it" Jungkook pouted while he softly removed her hands as he held her face, staring at it like she was a perfect sculpture from above.

His eyes went from her flowing hair to her kissable lips. It was irresistible as Jungkook leaned in to make contact.

Hansoo expected this and closed her eyes, trying to make the best out of it. She slowly kissed back as Jungkook's cheeks glowed red while he giggled on her lips. He held her face softly closer, not wanting to leave space between them.

The kiss was soft and shy as the scenery was peaceful with all the birds singing all over the place.

Hansoo pulled away to look at his eyes which was filled in love and sincerity. She loved this side of him with all the blushing and giggling.

"I love you so much" Hansoo smiled which made his heart skip a beat. "I love you too" Jungkook replied while he kissed her forehead. They stayed in that position for a while before they noticed something.

"Do you know this place?" Hansoo tilted her head in confusion as they were looping over secluded areas. "Didn't Namjoon say that he knows a shortcut? Maybe this is it" Jungkook attempted to comfort her. Keyword: Attempt.

"This doesn't feel right." Hansoo looked around uncomfortably. "Why? Is there something wrong?" Jungkook followed on where her eyes were landing which was just random trees. "I don't see anything"

"No...I recognize that from somewhere" Hansoo shook her head while she stared at something. "What is it-" Jungkook was lost of words as he finally found the logo that's catching her eyes.

"ACE..." He mumbled while he analyzed it more. "This....this is the ACE's base!" Jungkook let out which made her furrow in confusion.

"ACE? Isn't that the gang?" Hansoo asked which received a nod as an answer. "No way...my guts were correct..." Her eyes widened as her voice softened in shock. "Hansoo, this is not safe..." Jungkook looked at her as she did the same.

"What do we do now?" Hansoo panicked as she looks at Yeji and Yeonjun who was laughing. "Namjoon....Namjoon is distracting them"

Jungkook quickly moved his head to the teens as he saw them joking around, clueless on what's happening.

"We can't tell Namjoon...what if he has a gun? He could easily kill us all" Hansoo gulped at the thought. Jungkook sighed while thinking for their next move. "Hold on"

"Hey! Namjoon?" He called out as he started knocking at the roof of the truck to grab his attention. Namjoon sped up the car as soon as he heard him and looked at them in the rear mirror.

His eyes tells it all. Blood. Death. Murders.

Blood. Death. Murders.

Those words echoed through Hansoo's head. Just something about his eyes was so unsettling. This doesn't feel good.
