"I'm so tired." Phoebe whined.
"I've been carrying you the whole time." Bonnie stated, confused as to why the girl on her back was tired. "Well, I'm still tired." She whined even louder. Bonnie shook her head laughing. "Honestly, be glad you're cute."
Everybody had been walking all night long, besides Phoebe who Lucy, Millie and Bonnie took turns carrying. They were walking to the place rouges were rumoured to be.
The girls lagged behind the rest, joking around together. Everybody else seemed to not take notice of this. But Namjoon did. All he did was smile. Happy his girlfriend had found friends that love her and that she loves. The three girls had been here for awhile now, and weren't planning on leaving, except Bonnie.
"Race?" Millie challenged.
"You're gonna lose pipsqueak." Bonnie smirked. "Wanna bet?" Millie asked. "Course." The two shook hands, setting themselves up to run. Lucy held Phoebe on her back, the two both cheering for them. "3...2...1!" Phoebe shouted.
Then they were gone. One specific person watched them. Yoongi kept a close eye on the smile held on Bonnie's face. It was genuine, yet her eyes showed pain, an ongoing and endless one.
To him the girl was just a leech, a parasite in this world. Yet he wanted to know her, to understand her, to be there for her. He knew of the relationship made between Hoseok and Millie. The one formed by Phoebe and Jimin.
The loneliness surrounded Bonnie. It was there the day she arrived, and grew the more her friends connected with others. She was broken. A blood sucking monster, but still broken.
"Hey Yoongi, you okay?" Jungkook asked the elder. "Course."

They had just made camp in the forest. Tents dotted around, fires lit, blanket solace's around that people could sit on. But one person was missing.
"Where's Bonnie?" Lucy asked Millie, sitting down next to her. "I saw a lake coming up, she's probably there." Millie answered. "She really likes lakes." Lucy joked. Millie faintly smiled. "Yeah."
Yoongi overheard this, debating in his head wether to go or not. Deciding to be left the others, making his way to the lake. It was a short walk, until he stood in view of the lake, also seeing a body staring out into the distance.
He slowly made his way up to her, trying not to make any noise. "I'm a vampire idiot, I can hear you." Bonnie spoke in her usual emotionless tone. Yoongi sighed, falling down next to her. "What do you want mutt?" She questioned, not looking at him. "Nothing, leach."
Yoongi saw the flash of sadness in Bonnie's eyes while she looked out into the water. He noticed that she had less barriers up, like she was weaker at this very moment.
"You like lakes a lot." Yoongi commented, trying to start conversations "I grew up around them. It makes me feel like I'm back there and not...here." Bonnie spoke in a whisper. "Back where?" Yoongi questioned. "Not a place. A time." Bonnie started.
"I grew up with nothing. Not one thing. It sounds almost poetic. No luxuries, not even a house. I wasn't alone though. I had very few family and friends, but I had them. Then there was the lake, where I used to wash the little to no clothes we had, where I'd just sit, where I'd cry, where I'd smile. It was almost like a TV, playing different sorts of emotions just for me to watch." Bonnie spoke dreamily, not even specifically to Yoongi.
She was just saying it. Not to anyone or for anyone. To let herself know there were nice parts of living, even if they were in the past.
