trapped for 72 hours.

4: Panic, crying, passing...out?

I watched as Gguk began to hyperventilate, holding his chest and taking long wheezy breaths in hope to calm down.

I rushed over, holding his shoulders as I tried to help him breathe.

"Hey, hey! Kookie, look at me, take deep breaths, yeah? Let go of your chest, relax your body,"

"W-we're st-stuck in he-here Tae, we d-don't have a-an-any food a-and it's cold and h-hyung s-said we c-can get out i-if we t-take the un-underground tunnel b-but th-there's no underg-ground tunnel, h-he's lying a-" he stuttered through all his words and although I would usually tease him and coo when he trips over his sentences, I cut off his delusional blabbering.

"KOO! It'll be okay, yeah? You trust hyung, right?" He hesitated, before nodding rapidly. "Well, hyung will get you out of here, okay? We're gonna find the underground tunnel whatsit thing that Jin hyung was takking about, then we'll get the hell out and... and... um..."

I stopped my motivational speech, unsure of what to say, until I saw a shimmer in Kook's eyes.

"A-and we'll g-go put the i-ice in the ice dis-dispenser!"

"Yeah! Yeah, then we'll go put the ice in the ice dispenser, mmkay? You trust Tae-tae hyung, right?"

He nodded again, before rubbing his eyes.

"Right, okay, let's start with getting you some water, yeah?"

I walked around the place, before finding a case of bottled water, all frozen up and rock solid.

Heaving them up, I went back to Koo, seeing how his hiccuping had stopped and decreased to only a few sniffles and shivers.

Tearing open the case, I grabbed a bottle and smashed it against the ground again and again before it had transformed to ice splinters.

I then took off my shirt, only wearing my thermals, and wrapped it around the bottle in attempt to melt it.

Rubbing the bottle through the shirt, Koo watched me melt the ice away, bringing his knees up to his chest.

"You okay?"

"I-i'm cold, T-tae..." he mumbled, hiding his face between his thighs as his knees touched the top of his head.

"Yeah, I know, I know. It's okay, let me just warm this up so we can have some water then I'll find a place for a little rest,"

"O-okay..."

While rubbing the bottle, a flash of common sense hit me.

Gguk has his phone. We can get help you dumbass.

I stopped for a minute and tapped Jungkookie's shoulder.

He flinched then looked up at me.

"Pass your phone for a minute Kook," I requested, and when he unlocked it then passed it to me, I skimmed through his apps then found call.

I pressed 3 digits into the phone, then
raised it up to my ear, only to hear a faint buzzing sound.

Frowning, I glanced at the screen to be welcomed with zero bars.

"Shit..." I muttered then slammed my hand down.

"T-tae?"

I look up at the small voice, and see Jungkook looking at my hand with wide eyes.

I looked down, and saw his phone had smashed beneath my clenched fist.

"Oh shit, Kook, I'm so sorry! When we get out, I'll buy you a ne-"

This time I got cut off by a little squeal.

Kook grabbed my hand and saw the trickles of blood that ran down my hand before tracing his small delicate fingers up to the icicle that had jammed into my palm.

I hissed at the pain when he gently pulled the object out and he took my fleece off his body.

He placed it on top of my head and pulled it onto my body, then grabbed the abandoned bottle wrapped in my shirt.

Kook wrapped my bleeding hand with the shirt, treating it like a wet cloth.

"Oh, um... Thanks, Gguk," I felt my face heat up slightly at his kind gesture and looked away, wondering how I still had the ability to blush in a cold atmosphere.

Love.

I remember how Seokjin hyung had said it to me a few hours ago.

Flashback

"Okay, me and Namjoon are gonna go find out what the shih tzu happened to the toppings. Two hours, max. And I swear to God, after those two hours, if you haven't confessed, I'm gonna box you up and ship you to Africa. You will be very dehydrated,"

"Hyung, isn't that racist thou-"

"SHUSH, I haven't finished. I've seen the way that kid looks at you, and I'm sure he loves you back," he stated, raising a pointed eyebrow.

'"Love?" I questioned.

"Love." Hyung nodded at his words, proud of how wise he thought he seemed.

Flashback End

As I snapped out of my daydream, I looked up to see Jungkook laid across the ice bags, snoring.

Cute. He passed out already.

I chuckled to myself before getting up and taking off my fleece yet again.

Sure, Jungkook was gonna scold me again when he wakes up, but at the time, I was only thinking of how Jungkook shivered.

After covering him with the thick piece of fabric, I laid down next to him and hugged him, grinning to myself when Jungkook snuggled into my chest, mumbling incoherant words.

Yeah, love.
