✦・thirty nine╭╯
Jin took a deep breath to steady his heart rate. Sweat running down his hair. His face red from exertion. Fighting about fifteen to twenty monsters had left, all of them exhausted.
"I think that's the last of them." Namjoon panted heavily.
Jin eyed the burning dead monster bodies scattered in front of him. The monsters had attacked unexpectedly.
For a few moments, he was in shock at what was happening around him. He quickly threw the biggest rock at the monster, but the monster simply dodged it. The rock hit a tree's trunk, and the tree broke in two. Jin felt bad for breaking the tree, but there was no time to mourn about it. He had to kill monsters before they killed him.
Yoongi was standing in front of the dead bodies. Clutching his thigh where a monster had pierced his skin. His hands were full of his own blood while he was trying to stop the bleeding. Cursing under his breath.
The others moved closer to him.
Jin saw the cut engraved on Yoongi's thigh. He couldn't tell if it was deep, but it looked bad.
"I'll call Jimin." Jin said, reaching into his pocket, but Yoongi stopped him.
"No." he said. "We have to move now. We are close to the monster's base. I can walk."
"Are you sure?" Namjoon asked. Yoongi nodded.
"At least stop the blood." Jin suggested.
Hoseok shrugged off his backpack and dug into it, finding something to stop the blood. Luckily, he found a spare shirt in the bag and tossed it to Jin. Jin bent down to wrap the cloth around Yoongi's thigh. Yoongi hissed in pain and gripped Jin's shoulder tightly. As the cloth dug into his skin, Yoongi's grip on Jin's shoulder tightened, till his knuckles turned white. But Jin neither complained nor moved till he had securely tied the shirt.
They started walking ahead. Yoongi was limping slightly.
"After this, I want to rest for a few days." Jin said hopefully. Anyone could agree they needed a break.
They climbed the rest of the mountain in silence. Occasionally checking for monsters, but there weren't any. Jin wanted to say the monsters were all dead, but he didn't want to jinx it.
"Wait, what about the others?" Hoseok asked suddenly.
Jin had completely forgotten about the others. They didn't talk to any of them after parting ways to kill monsters and didn't know of their whereabouts.
"I will call Jimin." Yoongi said, removing his phone from his pocket and calling Jimin. He put it on speaker.
After a few rings, someone picked up. "Hello?" said a voice. It wasn't Jimin.
"Night? Why do you have Jimin's phone? Is he hurt?" Namjoon asked quickly, frowning at the phone.
"No, he is fine. Why did you call? Is someone hurt?" she asked.
"Yes." Jin said.
"Who?"
"Me." replied Yoongi quickly. "But it's fine. Minor injury."
"Where are you both?" Hoseok asked her.
"Oh, Jungkook got injured, so we went there. Jimin is healing him now." she replied, her voice carried a hint of admiration.
Jin's eyes widened. Jungkook was injured? Was he going to be okay? He remembered Jungkook's cute little smile. The way his eyes lit up when he laughed. Why was he thinking about that? Jungkook was going to be fine. Jimin was healing him.
"Where are you guys?" Night questioned.
"We are nearing the top. How about you guys meet us there?" Namjoon suggested.
"Okay. see you there. Bye." she said before ending the call.
They were almost at the top. Jin could feel excitement and nervousness growing inside him. He sighed. He knew they didn't have any choice but to go to Eroth. Their fates were entangled in that way.
"Keep a lookout for monsters." Hoseok instructed.
They finally reached the top. It was covered with trees. There were so many trees around, they could hide a spaceship without it being seen. Jin hoped they had a spaceship to travel between the two planets and not some weird mode of transport, only for the monsters which they can't use. He didn't climb the mountain for that.
"There better be a spaceship here." Yoongi grumbled. Jin couldn't agree more.
Jin's eyes caught a glint of sun rays being reflected off a metal. He squinted to make out what he was seeing. It was a huge metal spaceship.
His heart raced as he looked at the spaceship in awe. He couldn't move forward for a minute. His legs felt like jelly. The closer he got to the ship, the earlier he would leave Earth.
Finally, he gathered courage and called the others. "Guys!" he yelled. He wasn't sure how to continue.
They followed his gaze and saw the spaceship. No one said anything for a minute. Jin was half expecting a monster attack.
"Let's check it out?" Namjoon asked, unsure.
The others nodded.
Yoongi pressed a button on the ship before anyone could stop him. A door near them opened, Jin got goosebumps.

Jungkook groaned in pain. His skin was on fire. His veins flowing with fire instead of blood. The wound on his abdomen burning at the slightest touch.
Zia was unsure of what to do and fidgeted with her fingers while Taehyung was trying to stop the blood. Jungkook winced in pain. He didn't know whether the monster's claws had poison, but it felt like they did.
He was sitting against a tree. His breathing ragged. Distinctively, he heard Zia call Jimin. For a moment he had forgotten that Jimin could also heal.
"Jungkook, Jimin is coming hold on." Zia reassured him.
Taehyung was dabbing his wound. His movements were soft as a feather, but it still burned Jungkook's skin.
Jungkook lost track of time, but Jimin and Night finally arrived.
Jimin placed his hands on Jungkook's stomach. He winced in pain at the sudden action.
Jimin placed his hands again, but softly this time. His phone rang. He sighed and looked at Night. "Can you take it?"
She nodded and reached out to take it out of his pocket. "Stand up, it's stuck."
"You can't even take a phone out." he mumbled, shaking his head. Unfortunately Night heard it and fired back.
"You're the one wearing tight jeans. It's not my fault." She huffed.
Even though Jungkook was used to the bickering, he was still astonished with the reasons.
Zia rolled her eyes. She was done with it.
Night picked up and moved away.
Jimin, meanwhile, got back to healing Jungkook.
Jungkook felt warmth in every inch of his body. His wound was closing quickly.
"How did you get hurt?" Night asked.
"The monster couldn't find a better place to stick its claws." he replied sarcastically.
Taehyung snickered.
"Who called?" Zia asked Night.
"Yoongi." she replied. "They are reaching the top. We have to meet them there."
"Ok. Let's go then." Taehyung said. He hadn't spoken in a while.
Their hike to the top was quiet and short. Jungkook kept observing the rocks and trees surrounding them. He wondered if the others found something at the top.
Hoseok was waiting for them at the top. He excitedly waved at them to speed up. He was smiling brightly. His pink hair was shining brightly under the sun. It looked red.
"We found the spaceship." He said happily as soon as they were close enough.
Jungkook wasn't expecting this. It took him a moment to process what Hoseok just said. He could feel a tingling sensation all over his body.
Hoseok led them to the spaceship. It's exterior was pearly white. Shining brightly like the sun. Namjoon, Jin and Yoongi were inside the ship, exploring.
The white was blinding Jungkook. The ship's interior was also white.
Maybe they didn't have a lot of colours in Eroth.
The interior of the ship was sleek. Surprisingly clean and odour free. With monsters crawling in and out of it, Jungkook had expected it to stink like a sewer.
Namjoon was observing and understanding the controls of the ship. His chin pointed out as his eyes skimmed over the manual. His fingers gazing over the controls as he flipped a page.
Jin was looking around, sliding his long fingers running over everything. His purple hair looking blue under the lightning.
Yoongi was nowhere to be seen. There was a small hallway not more than 5 feet wide. A yellow light lighting it up. He must have gone in.
Jungkook looked around. The ship was designed to utmost perfection. There wasn't a layer of dust on the surfaces. They hadn't closed the entrance of the ship. Maybe Namjoon could do it, he was reading the manual.
Yoongi came back. "Are we going to leave today itself?" he asked.
"We should. The monsters can attack." Zia pointed out.
She was right. They didn't know if all the monsters were dead. Or if some were going to attack.
"I agree, we should leave right now." Namjoon said, looking up from the manual.
Everyone murmured in agreement.
" Ok. There are eight rooms in the back with three bathrooms." Yoongi said.
Two people had to share a bed. The most obvious guess was Zia and Night.
------------------------------------------
{A/N}: They found the spaceship, they would leave for Eroth now. This is getting exciting isn't it?
