Chapter Thirteen

{camp beta}

Jungkook stared out at the morning sky. Mellow blues and pinks blurred together in a mist to create another gorgeous scene as the sun rose like any other day. Its rays, golden and strong kissed his skin, radiating their warmth. Even when the world was drowning in grief and hardship, the sky remained beautiful. That was the one thing that had kept Jungkook's hopes up- if the sky remained vivid, then so could humanity. 

With a tried yawn, Hoseok wound down the front windows of the van, allowing for the crisp morning air to flood through the vehicle. Hoseok let out a lengthy sigh as he kept his eyes trailed on the road ahead. It wasn't too long until they would reach the camp. 

The three major camps consisted of Alpha, Beta and Delta. Jungkook was originally the commander from camp Delta making him one of the biggest higher ups in the district. Camp Delta was known for their challenging missions and incredible combat skills so it was no wonder Jungkook was so well rounded. Even if they hadn't seen him fully in action yet. 

Camp Alpha was known for their skilled devices and research facilities. It was probably the largest camp out of all three as it was located far from the city, further then camp Delta. It's true when they say that the further you are from the city, the safer. 

Which is why camp Beta is so small. 

Camp Beta is located a mere ten kilometres from the base of the city making it prone to many attacks from hordes. Despite the tricky location they are full of skilled researchers and tacticians and are known to be home to the most knowledgeable individuals, which is probably why the the famous scientist they were in search for was currently rumoured to be staying there. Hoseok could only pray that he was there. 

As the sun peaked over the distant skyscrapers, the tress rustled gently in the morning breeze. It was almost autumn, meaning the air was becoming more frigid of a morning. 

Yoongi brought his arms around his form as he began to slightly shiver. Unlike the other males, he was more prone to the effects of the cold. Noticing the blue haired male, Jungkook sat up from his position by the window, taking a spare hoodie into his hands as he passed it over to Yoongi. 

They exchanged neutral glances before Yoongi smiled sheepishly, "Thanks Jungkook. I'm really sorry about last night." 

Jungkook shook his head, "It's fine- really. You had every right to act that way." Jungkook returned to his position by the window, "After all, we're all just surviving in a dangerous world." Jungkook couldn't call it 'living' in a dangerous world. They were merely all surviving, holding onto strings of hope that their old lives might someday return.

"I'll say." Jimin commented, cross legged on the floor as he began polishing his daggers, "I can never get a break these days." he sighed, head dropping. 

"Why's that?" Yoongi spoke in question, pulling the hoodie over his head and engulfing himself in the fabrics warmth. 

"I don't hang around in camps, but I'm not a soloist like you Yoongi either." Jimin calmly spoke, "I tend to travel one place to another. But recently within the last few months I joined a squad as a close combat expert." He explained, eyes drifting out the front window, "You could say it was good while it lasted."

Jungkook noticed how distant Jimin looked, so drawing his gaze away from the outside, Jungkook questioned, "...While it lasted?"

Jimin paused polishing his knifes, "Last night actually, my squad faced that horde."

There was a pain behind Jimin's voice, Jungkook could tell. He watched Jimin's eyes fall. Then he knew. It would have been the squadron van he had stumbled into last night.
