"Y/N, what happened to your glasses?" I hear J-hope ask next to me.

"They're gone" I say with a monotone voice.

"Y/N! Your hand is bleeding!" Jungkook exclaims, removing his hand on my waist and grabbing my wrist.

I was about to say that I was fine when the truck began to slow down. My heart starts pounding again. We pull over to the side and the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The driver door opens and Mr. Si-hyuk comes out with a sad look on his face.

"We're out of gas."

That statement made my heart drop to my stomach. My hands start to tremble a bit and I feel Jungkook's gaze on me.

"I guess we'll have to go by foot now" Jin says sadly.

"I suggest we stay in the truck again for one more night because it's already late afternoon" Mr. Si-hyuk announces and we all agree.

"Guys, Y/N's hand is bleeding and it looks like it has glass in it" Jungkook states to the group.

"I'm fine."

"Y/N show me your hand" Jin remarks. I let out a sigh and showed my hand to him.

"Come over here and I'll help you" he motions for me. I reluctantly got up from Jungkook's lap and sat in front of Jin. Everyone else leaves to get everything prepared for the night.

Jin holds his hand out for me to place mine on top. Doing so, he pulls a pair of tweezers out of nowhere.

"Don't ask, you never know when you need to fix your eyebrows," Jin grins. This makes me break into a smile. He seems pleased that he got me to slightly cheer up.

"I'm guessing that these belong to your glasses?" he slowly pulls out all the pieces of glass stuck in my hand. I nod my head, slightly upset with myself for not protecting them. He releases my hand and says that I should pour some water to clean it.

"No," I shake my head, "it'd be a waste of water."

"Your life is more important than spilling a little water" he glares at me. I huff out and get up to grab a bottle of water.

I put the top in my mouth and used my teeth to unscrew it. I kneel next to the side of the truck, placing my hand over the side, and slowly pour the water over the cuts. I wince, which caused me to drop the lid from my mouth onto the ground.

"Gosh dang it" I mutter. I see someone bend down and pick it up.

"You should be more careful" Jungkook smiles at me and screws the water bottle for me, taking it from my hand and setting it down next to me.

"Thanks Kookie."

He looks me in the eyes, but I quickly look away and stare at my blood and glass free hand. His hand softly grabs the hand and starts wrapping it with a gauze.

"Where did you find that?" I raise an eyebrow at him.

"In one of the abandoned cars. It had a small first aid kit crammed in the middle console" he answers.

"Oh."

He finishes wrapping my hand and tucks the rest underneath. He then brings my hand to his mouth and kisses it. I couldn't help but bite my lip. He brings my hand back down to the side of the truck. We stare into each other's eyes, not realizing our heads slowly getting closer.

"Jungkook! We need your help over here!" We both snap out of the trance and blush.

"Uh, see ya later then" he coughs and I just nod my head. I watch him walk over to Jimin and Tae. Tae says something about his face and he just blames the sun.

"Don't blame Hobi" I mumble.

"Blame me for what?" Hobi asks, walking over.

"Oh nothing. It's just, ARMY calls you the sun cause you're so happy and energetic" I answer and he gives me his signature heart smile.
