Chapter 17: Deal?
3rd Person Pov:
"Don't worry, everything will be okay," Seokjin spoke as he tried his best to reassure the other members. A loud growl followed not so long after he said that which made the members throw a glare at him. "Mostly everything will be okay?" He questioned as he slightly smiled. "I cannot believe you guys brought a zombie in with us." Yoongi groaned as he put his hands in on his face. "Look, I know this is a selfish request but, please, let him stay with us. I want to fix him, to learn about him, and to bring him back." Seokjin replied, putting his left hand on his chest as he looked down. "I know you really want to but, Namjoon isn't a human anymore. He's a zombie. How is this plan of yours gonna work anyway?" Jungkook questioned as he looked unimpressed. "We should at least get him comfortable around us. You know, introduce ourselves and maybe, his memories may return." Seokjin explained as he turned around to the room where their captive was. The older tilted his head toward the door with a smile and the everyone held their breath. Seokjin opened the door revealing a zombie tied up to a chair, looking down with his dead eyes. "Joonie, it's me. Seokjin. I have new friends for you to meet." The older spoke as everyone entered the room. Joonie suddenly growled and hissed at them as he remembered they were the ones who killed all those zombies. "No, wait, calm down, please. Let them talk, okay?" Seokjin exclaimed as he stood in front of the zombie who slowly nodded. Jin turned toward the others to let them know that they could introduce themselves and maybe apologize. The other members quietly decided to introduce themselves from youngest to oldest, Seung-Ah included.
"My name Jeon Jungkook, the maknae of the group." Jungkook spoke as he bowed. "The name is Kim Taehyung, Joonie Hyung." V went next then, bowed as well. "Hi, hyung. My name is Park Jimin." Then Jimin went next with a bow. "Seung-Ah. Kang Seung-Ah, to be specific." Seung went next finally revealing her full name. "Hi, Joonie! My name is Jung Hoseok. I hope you remember me." J-Hope went after adding an extra part. "Min Yoongi. I hope you remember me." Suga spoke, he mumbled the last part but, everyone could hear it. "You already know me!" Seokjin exclaimed and went in front of Joonie.
"Do you have any memory before you were a zombie?" Jin asked, his tone serious. Joonie shook his head but, his hand moved a lot in the ropes he had. "I'll release but, will you promise not to attack us?" Seokjin asked as he kneeled behind the chair. The zombie nodded his head and Jin untied the rope. Jimin suddenly pulled Seokjin away from the zombie as if to protect him in case of a surprise attack. Joonie looked down as he continued to sit and lifted his hands a little.
Everyone held a gasp as they saw the zombie do sign language. They all looked at each other hoping that someone knew sign language. "Oh, don't worry. I had a friend who was deaf so, I'll handle this." Seung-Ah spoke as she stepped in front of Joonie. The zombie started using his hands and fingers to communicate a better answer for everyone. They could hear Seung-Ah make noises of agreement as she nodded her head. "Does that mean Namjoon isn't completely gone?" Jimin asked, softly. "I think it does. No zombie would understand a language like that unless they weren't fully turned." Yoongi replied.
"He says that he doesn't remember everything but, he does remember someone. A silhouette. A boy that is surrounded by light with his back turned. As soon as the boy would turn around, he would only see a smile." Seung translated as she faced the group. Joonie put a small smile as he realized that the humans understood him. "A boy? Could it be that his memory still is with you?" Yoongi asked as he turned to Jin. "So, he does remember but, I want his memories to return all of them. So I'll propose something." Jin replied as he walked up next to Seung.
"Joonie, my friends and I will let you stay with us. We'll take care of you and help you return your memories. In return, you must help us survive and let me experiment on you to better understand a zombie. Deal?" Jin explained and Joonie nodded as he shook his hand. "Alright, it's official!" Seung exclaimed as they both went with the group. "Welcome to the group, Joonie!" Seung added as she placed a smile on her face and clapped. Joonie showed a smile as well as he looked at the group.
"Welcome back, Kim Namjoon." The group thought with a smile on their face and a tear in their eyes.
