Playing Hope by XXXTENTACION

Life is unpredictable
It changes with the seasons

Even your coldest winter,
Happens for the best reasons

And though it feels eternal,
Like all you'll ever do is freeze

I promise spring is coming,
And with it, brand new leaves

The group had woken up all around the same time. Chan was up first, nearly falling from the bed when he opened his eyes to see Minho. He wasn't used to sleeping in the same bed as others so he nearly had a heart attack.

With his near fall and small shriek, he had awoken a groggy Minho who hadn't said a word, but glared at chan every chance he could.

Next was Seungmin, used to a structured morning, he had pushed himself out of bed, cringing as he tried to ignore Jeongin slightly snoring and cuddling a pillow. He was
Met with Jisung in the corridor, both immediately on their way to the bathroom.

Jisung had been awoken by Felix, the boy had snuggled into the bunny despite its state and had woken Jisung up with a nudge. They both with also never talk about the fact their limbs were entangled when they awoke.

Next was Changbin, the man grunting in annoyance as he pulled himself from Hyunjin's vice grip. The younger had held onto him the moment his head hit the pillow. Changbin wasn't a huge fan of skin ship but he wasn't too uncomfortable so he let it be. Changbin moving had Hyunjin awoken in a slight flinch. He had grumbled into the pillow and stayed there for ten minutes before moving.

Lastly it was Jeongin, he had awoken to an empty room and his face half suffocating in a pillow. He groaned in slight irritation, feeling hunger already intrude his body.

They all ended up in the living room, eating canned food and most grumbling from hatred towards mornings. So it wasn't a surprise when chan earned a few hard glares when he spoke, interrupting the silence.

"Ok we need a plan to first get the power generated."

"How does the shower work but everything else doesn't? Like why are they powered differently and why is it so fucking complicated to be the first thing I think about in the morning." Jisung coughed as he rubbed his eyes harshly. This was not what he wanted to think about so early in the morning. He didn't want to think at all. Just exist til his brain automatically turned on at the right time.

"Well something's are solar powered and when it's night, the generator stores that power for the night till morning. Also I don't really know about why they are different, never cared enough to ask the seller." Changbin grumbled, stuffing canned cooked chicken breast into his mouth.

"Eww! Are you sick?" Hyunjin gagged quietly as he eyed the canned chicken. Changbin only shrugged, he would eat anything right now.

"I also think we should go back to town to get food, clothes and just things we need." There was a group nod with what Minho said. It was important for them to get all the supplies they needed.

Chan pulled out a small,leather notebook that had an attached pen. He opened a page before looking up to the others. "Ok we need to make a list and send two separate group to the town and to the power generator."

"The power generator isn't too far from here. I can take that group there." Changbin finished his can, getting up to chuck it into a bin. Chan thought for a moment, jotting a few things down in an orderly fashion.

Hyunjin from beside him, looked over his shoulder at the list. It was a pretty good list for this situation though he was confused in somethings.

"Seeds? For what?" He hummed as he sat back in his seat on the cramped sofa.

"Well if we are going to survive we need to plan ahead. Also do you want to keep living on canned food?" Chan answered, looking over at the displeased face of the taller who grimaced at that.

"I would rather die than live on Changbin's raw chicken." He gaged slightly, receiving an eye roll from Changbin.

"Ok we'll split into teams of four."

"I'll go to the town. I have more purpose there than all the technical shit." Jisung murmured, rubbing the sleep from his eyes and he fought the urge to fall asleep. Jeongin nodded in agreement beside him.

"I will go too."

"Ok I'll go with them since I have the list. Changbin it's best if you take a group to the generators." Chan said as he looked over the dark haired male. It was good for them to formulate a plan. It was the best way to survive and get the things they need.

"Ok I'll go, I'll take Seungmin, Hyunjin and Felix. You take Minho." He stood up, brushing a hand through his hair and walking to the kitchen.

Seungmin only shrugged not really caring where he went. It was the best decision in actuality because Seungmin was great at computer science. He would be able to help Changbin set it up.

Minho and Felix looked over at each other. There wasn't as much tension there as before, but they weren't close so it was a bit awkward. After a few seconds they found themselves agreeing but the anxiety that swirled in their stomachs was building bigger. As much as they said they didn't care for one another, it was stress to know they would be separate with no knowledge whether the other would be ok.The prospect of going out there was also scary, but to survive they had to do what they had to do.

Hyunjin didn't seem too bothered that the decision was made for him. So they all accepted their places, still trying to shake the collective anxious feeling.

Changbin grumbled that he would be back before disappearing down the hallway. They didn't really pay attention to where he went but it was slightly shocking when he came out with a crow bar,two bats, a small red tub and a few small guns.

"I have a few weapons we can use. There are some military knifes that I can get." He said passing them out to the group.

In the end, Changbin ended up with a knife, Chan with a gun, Minho with a crowbar, Jeongin with a bat, Jisung with a bat, Felix with a knife, Seungmin with a gun and Hyunjin with a gun.

"The gun has silencers on them. It would best not to draw attention with the gunshots." Changbin informed as he slipped the knife into his pocket of his bottoms. He picked up the little red tub and placed into Chans palm.

Chan furrowed his eyes in confusion, "what's this for?"

"To mark the trees on your way there. So on the way back you'll see them and make it home."

Home was a brave word to put this place. But they could only trust in it that they would be able to call somewhere home again.
