"Hyung...I'm scared." Jeongguk whispered, his voice is barely audible, but to Jin, the youngers voice sounded as if it boomed like how thunder clapped in a storm.
His fingers clenched into a fist, making them go into a white-knuckled grip and his leg muscles tighten, as if they were ready to run in an instant if something wrong happened.
Jin was uncertain about what to say. He didn't want to be known as the hyung who was a coward and wanted to hide away, but instead he wanted to be known as brave and positive. Dragging his feet towards the younger and chewing on his plump bottom lip, he stood next to Jeongguk. Silence over took the two boys as they viewed the abandoned city from the tops of the cliffs.
Jin looked at Jeongguk, he heavily sighed and looked back out into the distance. Hands shoved into his bloodied dress pants pockets, he opened his mouth, "I know Gguk." he rubbed the back of neck without making eye contact.
He put his right hand on Jeongguk's left shoulder blade making the younger look at him in worry. They both made eye contact and Jeongguk felt shivers going down his back from the eerie silence.
Jin squeezed the shoulder blade in comfort and smiled a little with determination replaced in his eyes.
"We'll get through this," he took his hand into Jeongguk's and nodded, "together...I promise you."
