Jungkook's pov

My eyes solemnly watched the sceneries out of the window.

Jin hyung cracked some jokes here and there and Namjoon hyung opened small conversations to keep us from thinking on what happened a few hours ago

The sun was now up, shining brightly to the vast land below it. The sceneries outside were blurry as the car passed them.

Not one of us fell asleep except for Kiara who had finally calmed down and fell asleep on Taehyung hyung's shoulder.

Even Yoongi hyung didn't fall asleep. And that tells something.

I bit my lip and tightly closed my eyes, I breathed heavily as the thought again crossed my mind

"Hyung, we left them" My voice cracked, letting out what bugged me ever since we left

They all held their breaths, "We left them" I repeated, closing my eyes shut as I tried to stop myself from breaking down

We left

"You're right, kook. We left" Namjoon whispered, lost in his own thoughts as he stared outside of his window

I opened my eyes in shock and looked at the man who had led us, "h-hyung?"

"We left. But what choice do we have?"

My eyes started to well up, Jimin put his arms on my shoulder, comforting me

"We were outnumbered. If we didn't leave, then we'd die"

"God knows how we tried to get their attention, how we tried to call them. We did the best that we could, Kookie" Namjoon smiled and locked eyes with me

And that's when I broke down,

The look on Namjoon hyung's eyes were full of dread, regret and sadness

"We had no choice. Seowon..." He trailed

"Seowon hyung knew that we'd have a chance to live. That's why he gave me his key. And we shouldn't dwell on what happened. We were given another chance at life.. so let's not waste it yeah?"

"Namjoon hyung.." I sobbed

"Let's not waste it" He repeated and smiled, his dimples showing

I sniffled and wiped my tears, "Yeah, I'm so sorry to bring this up I just—"

Jimin ruffled my hair, "Don't worry about it, kook. We all had the same thought. Now that Namjoon hyung had addressed it, the weight on our shoulders are gone"

"Let's focus on what's ahead now okay?" Hoseok hyung suggested, his smile appearing, lighting up the mood

We all smiled and nodded.

Silence filling up the air again

Jin hyung parked the car and turned off the engine.

We all went outside and took our bags.

I glanced up at the now dark sky and stretched. Jin hyung was massaging his shoulders.

Namjoon hyung volunteered to carry Jin hyung's bag, seeing that he was driving for a few hours now.

Yoongi hyung suggested that we should find a place to stop for the night and continue to search for a new place tomorrow.

We all agreed and now were in front of an abandoned apartment with bags flung in our shoulders underneath the luminous sky.

The grip on our weapons were tight and our senses were alert.
