"i was with them for the last two years, risking my life to keep the rest of you safe"// for junot + jaewon // lost au for old times sake
Jaewon is speechless. But he should of expected this. He thinks back to when he and the others first landed on the island. It felt like a dream now, that a life he had once existed beyond this island and ocean.
He remembers Junot at the beginning of it, flashbacks of the smell of jet fuel, fire and smoke, fuselage scattered across sand and so many screams, they still echo in his head. She was a saving grace. When he and some others were dumbfounded on how to survive the jungle, she showed them the ropes. When they thought they were close to starvation after the airplane food wasn't enough, she along with a fisherman on board showed them how to capture fish to eat. And most importantly, when other survivors of the crash began to disappear or wind up dead, when shots rang out in the middle of the day or night and the terrorizing thought that they were not *alone* haunted their minds, it was then that Junot revealed who she really was.
But she was nothing like them at all. A lily amongst the weeds, a rebel fighting a dying cause. Whether he could trust her or not did not matter because he knew if she wanted to cause him or the others real harm, it would of been done already. Swift and unpleasant.
"You know that I believe you." He said, staring at her. They sat huddled in an empty and quite old research station, something else that has gone relatively unexplained. But Jaewon has no energy to figure out all the bits and pieces just yet. "And I love you for it Junot, because you're brave. You aren't one of them, I don't care about the past."
"When we find some way off this island for good, and God knows we will. You're coming with us."
