The 8 of you get along barely. Well, more specifically it's only Jimin and Namjoon. Jimin, because he can't be nice for a millisecond (he perfectly gets along with Yoongi.) and Namjoon because he trusts none of you. You can't have a friendly chat with him without him being sceptical about every single word that leaves your mouth. There's no point in hiding the fact that every member has a distaste for a certain member they don't relate with. Jimin and Yoongi get along with each other but both of them hate the other people. Seokjin can't stand Yoongi and Jungkook can't stand Hoseok for some reason. Namjoon dislikes you and you dislike Taehyung for some unknown reason. The worst part about it is that the others are pretty chill about disliking each other but when it comes to you and Taehyung everything becomes complicated. It's not his fault, but he irks you. You feel bad about disliking the innocent boy who is only trying to be friends. He understands that you don't like him, which probably hurts him. But every time he comes up to you with a bright smile, only for you to make an excuse and walk away. It wasn't good for the team in the slightest. You feared that if this is how the situation flows then the probability of surviving is almost zero.
Today's mission only proved your point further. You and the boys barely made it out thanks to the dislike and mistrust you have for each other. Truth be told you didn't have any high hopes for them.
"It's your fault that we almost died Jungkook!"
Hoseok accused and Jungkook took a step back in shock. This is the first time you ever saw Hoseok this aggressive.
"No, it's Yoongi's fault for not predicting correctly."
"How come it's my fault?! I told you a thousand times not to do something impulsive!"
Yoongi looked ready to choke Namjoon.
"Guys!"
You have been trying to stop them for hours now. They were so heated that they won't let it go. The boys kept throwing harsh words at each other like no tomorrow.
At that point, Jungkook and Seokjin had given up. The duo slumped down on the couch and stared at the others with disappointed expressions.
Jungkook looked so hurt that it was starting to hurt you physically. So, you had a take deep breath and–
"BOYS!!"
Your yelling seemed to stop them for a moment. Just what the heck do they think they are doing?! It *ed you off.
"Where do you think fighting will get you?!"
The others stayed quiet while Jimin dared to say something.
"Well, (Y/N) you had the stupidest idea of saving 'people' when we don't even know if anyone else is alive!! We would've died because of you! Out of nowhere, we run to the red zone. Well, aren't we the crazy ones here? What good will it do? Will we suddenly kill all the zombies if we find another human being? Will we find a cure? Will everything go back to normal? Will we get our friends and families back? Tell us (Y/N), will we?!"
Jimin's outburst seemed to change the atmosphere completely. Everyone was frozen in their spot with their lips sealed shut. It looked like they got tongue-tied. As for you...you couldn't blame Jimin at all. You saw the pain and anger of losing his loved ones. His eyes said it all. You couldn't deny that he had a point. There was no guarantee that you will find a cure let alone help others.
The world is at stake and the least you can do is try to survive. The others agreed silently. To them, it didn't look like a good idea any more. All they wanted is peace. The exhaustion painted their faces with dark circles and dishevelled hair. Cuts and nasty bruises covered their whole body. You weren't in great shape as well. But you refused to let the fire die inside you. If all of you give up then what good it will do? You can get attacked by zombies anywhere. None of you is safe. If you want to survive then you have to fight a crazy amount of zombies. When you were a child you thought an apocalypse is so adventurous. But now that you are actually in one it didn't look so adventurous any more. You just wanted it all to end. You wanted the normal life back. Where kids and other students will go to their education centres, adults will race to reach their workplaces in time, the oldies will chat like there's no tomorrow. The beauty of the sunrise, the laughter of people, the blooming flowers. You miss how the streetlights used to light up the whole city, the slight breeze that flowed without care, the busy buildings, lazy pedestrians, cute couples being all lovey dovey with each other... You miss it all... That's why you were ready to do anything to get it back. You hated this isolation. The tears and screams for help filled the air with toxicity... you hated it all and you didn't have to hide it.
"So, tell us (Y/N) are you going to keep us waiting forever? Don't you have an answer? You were speaking so boldly before? What happened to that confidence? ran out of it? You don't have the answer to why we have to be heroes?"
Jimin was being so sarcastic all over again. But this time... you have an answer. Because you know what you want, you know what you have to do. Now that you are actually here there's no looking back any more. So you looked him in the eyes and answered
"Because... We either die a hero or wait long enough to become a villain."
