V's ankle was stinging as he tried walking forward. It's not like he never experienced a broken ankle before but he definitely didn't experience a semi stranger holding him up.
"V" Jungkook spoke as they walked through the dirty corridor of the basement. V hummed and telling the male to continue. "Is V your real name?" Jungkook asked and he felt V tense up a little but he eased quickly, making Jungkook think that if he just imagined that.
"Y-Yeah" V said with nod and then looked forward. "Peculiar name then" Jungkook commented and the older snorted at the reply. "I guess I walk now, thanks" V said and pulled away from the younger, his ankle was nowhere near fine but he couldn't bear Jungkook holding him anymore. "You are still limping" Jungkook observed but V decided to remain silent and Jungkook got the hint and shut up as well.
"There look at the ladder" V pointed at the rusty iron ladder, which God knows where it lead to. "Don't say we are going to climb that" Jungkook said, as he knew that the ladder won't be able to hold their weights at all. "We are going to climb that" V said and held the rung and wedged his foot on the other. "V you won't be able to do that with a broken ank—of course you can" Jungkook rolled his eyes when V started climbing the ladder, the rungs groaning under his weight.
"Come on" V said and Jungkook grabbed the rung, it was rusty and dirty and had a slimy layer of what, Jungkook didn't want to know. Five mintues later The ladder led into a vertical tunnel kind of thing, and then stopped abruptly with a man hole cover over their heads.
"Wait I'll hold you" Jungkook said and kept a hand on V's lower back and pushed him against the ladder so that he won't fall off while pushing the lid of the man hole away.
V lifted the lid and then slide it away, the light that broke through was almost blinding to their eyes. V pushed himself up and disappeared on the level above. Jungkook followed so after and the surrounding opened to a lab kind of place.
"Did we ent—V!?" Jungkook held V before he could collapse. "What's the deal!?" He asked when he saw the condition of the older. A sheen of sweat of collected on V's forehead and his body burned from fever, his breaths coming out in wheezing pattern.
"Shit I told you not to walk, let alone climb" Jungkook hissed at the older. "Sh-shut u-up" V stuttered.
"Sit" Jungkook said and settled the older against the wall. Once V was sitting on the floor, Jungkook looked around to observe the surroundings. The place was filled with test tubes and different sort of chemicals. There were many glass cabinets and human sized tubes with different sorts of things stored in them.
"What place is this?" Jungkook asked V and looked at the older. "It's some kind of laboratory" V said as he opened of his eye. "So the antidote is here?" Jungkook asked. "Huh? No not here" V said and shook his head,"That must on the floor above, where there is tighter security"
"What kind of security.." Jungkook asked as V motioned him to pull him up. Jungkook reached down and held the older up. He could feel V burning right now.
"Laser security, gas chambers, flame throwers... etcetera etcetera" V said. Jungkook gulped and started moving towards the door, V told him to.
"Regretting your decision" V said as he pulled open the door and they walked into the clear aluminium covered hallway.
"Nope" Jungkook said and shook his head,"If your handsome face is the last thing I'm looking at, then no regrets"
The meaning of words was realized by Jungkook, once he spoke them. When he turned his head to look at V, the older had a shocked expression.

His mouth fell open and shoulders sunk down for a moment and Jungkook let out a awkward chuckle. V looked ahead and let out a breathy chuckle as well and said— "That was smooth..." He breathed out.
"Yeah..." Jungkook said, glad that V didn't made anything awkward by saying something nasty or pulling away.
"But... Jungkook do you really think that I'm handsome?" V teased. "Y-Yeah" Jungkook said,"Did anyone ever told you that?" "Nah~" V shook his head,"I never got a compliment in general" He added a chuckle after that.
"You must be kidding" Jungkook commented and V let out a laugh. "No I'm not" V said with a shake of his head,"The only one I got was when I shot a person in the head for the first time"
"Woah.." Jungkook responded,"How old were you?" "Eighteen" V said and Jungkook almost lost his hold on the older. "Woah easy" V sneered, when Jungkook regained his balance. "You killed a person at the age of eighteen?!" Jungkook hissed and V gave a shrug.
"My childhood wasn't like your jk" V said softly,"I never got to try the thing you did" "Seriously?" Jungkook asked, genuinely surprised. "Don't tell me that you never went to a pub" Jungkook said. "What's that?" V asked with puppy doe eyes and Jungkook sighed. Then the stopped—
"So where now?" Jungkook asked when the reached the end of the corridor, two ways splitting at either side. V looked at both of them, like he was trying to think and then said—
"The right one" He said and both of them walked through the corridor.
