Day 1
It had been roughly 2 hours since Jimin and the group had left to the rouge land despite the small fear of never returning. Their task for today was to get there before sundown so they could make camp and get some rest before everything officially started tomorrow. No one talked whilst they all ran in wolf form to the land of death as everyone calls it. It wasn't that they didn't want to talk, no, it was the lingering eerie atmosphere that stop them all. They all knew the second they left the council grounds and entered the rouge lands no one could help them. They could scream and cry but no one would dare come help. How YN had ever survived in those plains was beyond the group, however it had given them small hope. Hope that they too could get out of this alive.
As the pack dispersed to carry on with their daily routine, Yn left to go get changed in her room before she started with the tasks for the day. Not wanting to take the clothes she had on off, because they smelt of Jimin - something both her and her wolf needed right now- she simply put one of Jimins spare hoodies over her body.
As she combed her hair with a heavy heart, Flora walked in with her arms wide out. She knew what Yn was going through as she was going through something similar, though Yn's pain was by far more worse. Without any hesitation, YN ran into Flora's embrace as the two hugged each other and drowned in each other in tears. They knew that they could trust them to come back safely, but it didn't weigh out the small possibility of them never coming back. Not only would they have lost important people in their lives, they would also lose their second halves meaning they too will follow the same fate soon after.
After the two calmed, Flora helped YN with brushing her hair, something that Jimin always did as her patients with the knots were limited. Silence dominated the room as neither talked. It was a comfortable silence, not an awkward one where no one knew what to say, as the two basked in their own thoughts. As Yn's hair was put in a bun, someone knocked on the door. By their scent the two girls instantly knew who it was and called out to him.
"Yoongi? You can come in." The door open hesitantly but eventually Yoongi's head popped out behind the door as he took hesitant steps in. The two girls giggled at his ridiculousness as they both knew he had barged into here more than a few times.
"Are you ready Luna? It's time for task one." Yn sighed as she nodded her head before giving Flora a hug and leaving with Yoongi. Unfortunately, he had to call Yn by Luna at all times during this week, something YN hated. She didn't just want a beta, she wanted her friend. It was kind of the reason for why Jimin left Yoongi instead of Taehyung despite the fact Yoongi had no mate.
"What are we doing?" Yn questioned as she followed Yoongi out of the house and on to the fields. "We need to check on the training and then you need to give some tips and advise to each individual" Yoongi answered as they reached the training ground. Yn grumbled as she realised she was not dressed appropriately for training and mentally curse at the fact the she would have to do so in a hoodie and jeans. She could slip her hoodie off as she had a shirt underneath but she had nothing under her jeans apart from underwear.
The delta's turned and stopped what they were doing as the two walked on the field. They bowed in respect before yn told everyone to carry on with what they were doing as she watched them. It wasn't long before Yn moved out to help certain people with their stance or just to give out compliments- something that boosted peoples confidence.
Day 2
Jimin's group slowly awoke as they saw the sun rise, signalling the start of phase 1. They had reached the rouge lands much later than they would have liked to yesterday resulting in less sleep as everything was thrown off schedule. Jimin was the first up as he headed towards the camp fire they had made yesterday. And just like the rumours, the letter with their tasks written on, sat on a log next to the campfire that had long been extinguished. Opening the envelope, Jimin read what was written on it.
Alpha Jimin and companions,
Welcome to phase one.
Here you will face challenges of nature as you will have to survive the harsh weather and condition of the rouge land. Live the days here hunting for food, gain basic necessities but most importantly build the trust and friendship between the group. You will be the greatest of allies and rule the pack as a team. Betrayal and distrust should never surface between you all, therefore use this time to see the ugly side of each other but make sure to allow the good to grow too.
Rules:
Hunt for food. Whether meat or fruit/vegetable food should be collected everyday until one hour after the sun rises past the top of these tree's. No food should be hunted for after. Ration the food to survive the whole day.
Follow the way of the pack wolves. You are not rouges. Look after members of your team and ensure their safety.
No mind linking outside your group. Trust in your Luna and beta back home.
Must stay for the whole phase. Quiting in between will mean revocation of your title.
Lead the way as an Alpha/Beta/Delta should. This phase will last 6 days. At the end of this phase a letter just like this one will surface. Only then would you have permission to leave. Not a day or second before that. Remember you are a pack wolf. That is all. Hope to see you all in 6 days.
Will you become one of them too?
-Aurelius
A shiver ran through Jimin's spine as he finished reading the last line. He knew exactly what would happen to them if they broke any rules. It wasn't pretty and he was determined to not let that happened.
Looking up at the tree's Jimin saw that the sun had nearly fully emerged from behind them. He ran quickly waking up the remainder of the group as they got ready for their first task. They had to do this together as a group. No one could be left out.
As the sun fully emerged the group ran off into different directions in groups of two and Jimin on his own,as they all looked out for anything to eat. Jimin couldn't shake of the feeling that this task seemed too easy. Yes the rouge land was notorious for its lack of food but there was bound to be some berries and some animal meat somewhere.
Will you become one of them too?
What did that mean.
....
"MORE?! I still haven't finished the first pile. Yoongi... this is killing me!!" Yn sulked as yet another sack of paper was thrown her way. Yn knew there was bound to be some paperwork but the amount of paper work that was infront of her know was something no one could have imagined. She had seen Jimin do a lot of paper work but she had thought it was because he left it all last minute and was doing it all at once. Clearly, she had underestimated the horror of paper. How Jimin did all this is beyond her.
"Stop complaining Luna. Paper isn't going to kill you. Come on you only have..... 567 papers left."
"Yoongi that doesn't help. 567 is still a large number! And how much have I done? 2000!"
"That exaggeration Y-Luna. You have only done 1477. "
"... You kept count? Also, I wasn't far off."
"It's my job to make sure you do all 2044 papers and you were 423 papers off. Now you can't trick me into talking to you anymore, get back to work."
"Yoongi-" before Yn could finish her complaint someone barged into the office.
"Would you two stop fighting already. We can hear across the hall." Jin huffed.
"Sorry. It's just, look at all this work. I'm gonna die. Jinnie help me! Please!"
"Sorry Y-Luna, no can do."
"Well you could at least call me Yn instead if Luna." Again Jin shook his head. She puffed her cheeks out before giving up and starting her work again.
"I hope Minnie is doing better than me."
...
-: Have you found any food yet?;-
Jimin mind linked the group. It had been half an hour and no one had linked back saying they have found anything. Multiples of no's sounded through the link. Jimin couldn't help but panic as the deadline for the food hunting was coming to an end. Though they had pack a few snacks for the trip, they would run out in a day or so and they had to live here for 6 days. There was no way they were going to survive.
After another 20 minutes, Jimin was informed that Tae had found some berries but weren't sure if they were poisonous or not. With only 10 minutes before times up, Jimin told Tae and Lily to collect a few berries and head back to the camp. Namjoon would most likely know if they were poisonous or not. With that Jimin ordered everyone back to their camp as he too turned around.
Reaching the camp, everyone huddled around the Tae and Lily as they placed the berries on the cloth in front of them. Namjoon moved forward to inspect the berries and within a few seconds he shook his head. They were poisonous.
Quickly disposing the berries, the group sat around the camp fire. Time for hunting was over today and they weren't allowed to do any extra searching for food. After everyone wrote down all the food/ snacks they had Jimin and Namjoon started rationing them out. They had to try and ration them out for a few days but with the amount they had they were bound to run out in 2 days.
What were they going to do?
Day 3
After having completed all the paper work in one day, Yn finally got a day off. It had only been 3 days since Jimin left and Yn was already having a hard time.
Due to his absence his room was slowly losing his scent and the pack house smelt nothing like him. The clothes in his closet was the most pungent with his scent but the amount of times YN had sat in there to stop the longing in her heart, her smell started to dominate over his. However, before she could start brooding over the fact she misses Jimin a knock sounded.
Without waiting for a response the door opened, no longer hesitant, and in came Yoongi. He scanned the room looking for Yn as she was not on her bed. Seeing that she was not in the room and the bathroom was not in use, Yoongi walked towards Jimin's closet. Opening it he wasn't surprised to find a lifeless and sprawled out Luna who looked like the world was ending. Muttering something under his breath Yoongi crouched down towards his Luna before tapping her arm to get her attention. Slowly her eye's rolled to look as him before she stared back into space. Her eye's looked distant and they no longer had the light that was slowly forming in them.
Yoongi knew it was a side effect of sort from not having Jimin by her side straight after marking. He had also came to the conclusion that she had been attempting to mind link him, which was not allowed, and instead gotten blocked making her feel even more lifeless.
He had promised Jimin to look after her and he wasn't planning on letting her wither away like this either. She was friend if not a younger sister to him and he couldn't watch her suffer. Taking her by her arm, Yoongi picked Yn up and directed her to the bathroom. After telling her to wash up, he picked some of Jimin's clothes for her before waiting outside the room for her to change. He continued to stay patient as Yn took hours getting ready, knowing full well she would never take this long with Jimin, and that she was just a bit moody.
After Yn finally got ready, Yoongi took her down to the dinning room where he had told Jin to make something for her. She had yet to eat this morning and it was already 4 pm. Sitting at the table, Yoongi brought her meal before grabbing a sandwich for himself. He watched as she ate her food slowly at first but then sped up after realising what she was eating. Jin had made her favourite meal so it was no surprise to see her gobble it down.
With a small chuckle, Yoongi watches as Yn becomes slightly lively again as she hums in approval after every bite. Wanting to make sure this attitude doesn't drop Yoongi takes Yn, straight after their lunch, to a room. To Yn this room looked like any other room from the outside, but to Yoongi it was his life. The door opened to the 'genius lab' as Yn noted the name, and the two walk in. Inside there was plethora of computers and music instruments of all kind. Papers were scattered everywhere but they seemed organised and intentional.
Taking in the room Yn had a million questions in her head but didnt know which to ask first. "When I'm not doing Beta business, I'm in here creating music. After I lost Roxy, music became my sanctuary and slowly it became my love and passion. Jimin and the boys gifted me this room when they found out about my love for music, but I haven't let anyone in before." Yn nodded to Yoongi's explanation as he talked about everything with a big smile. Yn could see the love he had for everything here and was happy for seeing a new side of him.
As the day went on, the two spent their time holed up in the 'genius lab' as Yn listened to Yoongi's rocking tunes and lyrics as the two grew closer. Secrets were shared and Yoongi explained more in depth about the Roxy incident as YN nodded and supporting him knowing full well he would be happy soon. Yn told Yoongi about the time in Jumoon's captivity and how she had survived in the rouge land knowing full well he was interested. Though she had told Jimin about these things, she felt comfortable telling Yoongi. She didn't know why but she trusted in him to keep it confidential.
"Are you two planning on coming out?! You have been in there since 4 PM and now its 1 AM!" Jin yelled form the outside. Much to his surprise though the two were already fast asleep. Yoongi on his chair and YN on the couch next to him.
