Mythical Short Stories - 방탄손연단 PART 3

●> Taehyung <●

His harsh tone seems to shut everyone up. But Seokjin and Yoongi keep muttering in the front of the truck to which way they should go.

The truck drives for a few hours, until night slowly comes and they finally see two survivors at a bridge, waving for them to stop.

Jungkook looks at Taehyung, who nods and covers the younger's wounded arm with his jacket, hiding the attack.

"Stop! Stop!"

Seokjin carefully places the truck by the side of the bridge and quickly jumps out, Yoongi quickly following behind him.

The rest slowly follow from the back, with the two half-zombies making sure to stand in the middle.

"We need shelter, sir." Yoongi says, crossing his arms. "We haven't eaten or slept in two days, and this is the first town we've come across."

"Please, sir!" Seokjin sighs. "We haven't gotten much, and we'll be gone by tomorrow!"

The two elderly men speak amongst themselves quietly before reluctantly agreeing to shelter them.

The car stays outside. Taehyung holds Jungkook's cold hand when they walk inside, giving Hoseok a playful snap of his teeth when the elderly turned their backs.

They've been playing it cool. But both of them have been changing. Taehyung lost feeling in his right arm after a few hours and his head pounds.

Jungkook has been hiding it too. His left arm slowly becoming numb as well and his stomach unable to hold on to any food he eats.

It won't be long now.

Inside, everyone is given a sleeping bag. The town hall has been unused and has many heated rooms for the cold night.

Relieved to see a warm and comfortable room, the thought of zombies was forgotten for just a second.

Jimin glances up at the two and frowns, sitting up and rubbing his thumb over Taehyung's cheek.

"It's getting worse." He mumbles.

"Your veins are bulging." Seokjin comments, biting down on an apple he found. "Are you two feeling okay?"

Jungkook nods. "Yeah... Why?"

"Seriously?" Yoongi snarls. "Bite? Zombie? Death? Irresistible hunger?"

Taehyung glares at the older and hisses through his teeth. "You punk-!"

Namjoon slaps Yoongi's arm and glares back at the zombie, who grits his teeth.

"Tae, you're becoming more aggressive. How will we know you won't turn and eat us at night?"

"Really?!" Taehyung screams. "Look at me! I look normal! I have one bite!"

"And Jihan has six and he died instantly!" Namjoon screams back. "We. Know. Nothing." He presses his finger against Taehyung's chest, feeling the zombies heart pounding against his chest. "We have no clue how long it will take."

Jungkook quietly tugs at Taehyung's sleeve, nudging towards another room. "Let's go."

Hoseok gulps. The man's eyes were locked onto him. Still rage rising. He's doomed for if they turn.
