As they were walking around the city at evening, Jisung turned to the two boys

"Why isn't there any girl in the army ?"

"There is actually, there is Ryujin and Yeji, but they are on a mission at the moment, they will come back soon hopefully "

Seungmin smiled, worried for the girls

"Don't worry Seungminnie, they're stronger than you!"

Felix chuckled at his own joke, Jisung giggling.

"Hey" Seungmin hit him jokingly

They walk around the city and stop in front of some buildings so Felix and Seungmin can explain a few things to the new member of the community.

"So this is the medic building, you're going to visit this a lot because of training's injuries or just because the missions"

Seungmin said

"Do y'all get injured often on missions?"

Jisung asked, concerned about what those missions are about

"Oh it happens but it's pretty unusual. You just have to run tests everytime you come back to be sure you're safe from any outside sickness or zombie infection. It's for the community's safety."

Felix said, patting Jisung's shoulder to not worry the boy about his future job

"On the right aisle of the building is the scientist zone, they're always closed in there running tests to find some kind of treatment, or just create some drugs for the medic zone, they are really hard working"

"If you're bitten, or if they realize you have been bitten when they run a test, they will immediately isolate you in a securized room. Then you'll have the choice to be killed, to be isolated so the scientist can run tests on you, or to leave this ground and never come back. It's harsh, but we have to make here a safe place"

"Oh yeah that's normal I guess. If it does happen, I would like to be killed tho"

Jisung said calmly, knowing that it would never happen but didn't felt comfortable enough to tell them right now

"Same"

Seungmin answered.

They continue walking and end up in front of a big field with a few little buildings around

"This is where our food is created and formed. Most of the community works there and are actually really passionate about it. We also sometimes come here to give them a hand, they offer rewards, food rewards, so Changbin usually passes an abnormal time here."

Seungmin said, Felix giggling at the joke

"This is the "school", it's not far from Center. We just navigate between both buildings for the theory courses. It's fun you'll see."

"Then over there is some kind of shop to buy things for your room, some food or some clothes. To pay, the member's community do exchanges, as money doesn't really exist. And people here are not that many so everyone is kind of close to each other so they don't exchange that much and just give away their things. Also, as an army member, you're respected for the security you give to everyone, so they just give you stuff."

"People seem so nice"

Jisung said, a smile on his face

"Yeah, it's a blessing really"

Felix gave Jisung a smile brighter than the sun.

After returning to the dorms, they seperated and Jisung went to his room. He was tired and a bit overwhelmed about everything he just learnt. But he was happy to have nice people around him. He never really had friends, just a few kids he used to talk with back at Mister X's base. He knew he could trust them here, they went along pretty well.

But Minho was on his mind.

He didn't really understand why the guy was that rude to him. Maybe he really just is hostile to people he doesn't know, and as the Time goes on, they'll get along?

Jisung was scared though. He felt really happy here but he knew he would never feel at home. He thought that maybe someday he wouldn't be welcomed anymore.

He lied on his bed, staring at the ceiling and getting lost in his thoughts, appreciating the silence.

As if on cue, he heard loud music coming from the room beside his own, and big stomps. He jolted up, taking few seconds to understand the fuck it was happening and when he understood, he immediately got mad.

"That bitch-"

He ran outside of his room, knocking harshly on Minho's door.

Minho opened the door, frowning when he saw Jisung's face.

"What the fuck are you doing, I can't sleep with your stupid music"

Minho was ready to close the door but Jisung blocked it with his foot

"I'm not joking, turn it down at least"

Jisung was mad, the boy was getting on his nerves

"Get the fuck out of here squirrel, I'll turn it down"

Minho wasn't even fighting, he didn't even care, he pushed Jisung out of his door and closed it. A few seconds later, the music stopped, Jisung went back to his room, slamming the door, and went back to his bed.

He slowly fell asleep.

Minho cut the music and sat down on his bed. He wasn't able to dance for a week because of the missions he had and he was deceived to not be able to do it now. He loved to dance.

It makes him remember when he was a kid and he danced around in his house, his sister trying to follow his steps and his parents clapping him at any move he made.

The memory made him nostalgic, his eyes becoming glossy. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

He got in his bed and tried to get some sleep.
