Continuation of the previous chapter:-

"Hwan?...." Lee whispered slowly, recognizing the infected man before him.

How could it be? 

Seo Hwan, his best friend, and partner of almost two years was only 5 feet away from him, limping. The man was coughing up blood and howling absolute nonsense. It seemed just like yesterday that he greeted Lee in the morning with his favorite cup of coffee to cheer him up whenever he was stressed. 

Although it was ironic how this morning was ruined by a careless scientist with a knack for bumping into people as he disposed of his waste.

All those late nights the two of them stayed up either chatting or working together. All those memories were suddenly flushed away.

"Hwan...is that you?" Lee felt his heart shatter but he dared not step further. 

It would just endanger them both, he knew his best friend wasn't in his right mind. Hwan needed help and Lee knew that he wouldn't be of any use to his best friend if he contracted the virus too. At least, that was what he told himself, possibly to make himself feel less guilty for not doing anything at that moment.

"Lee help me..." he moaned out in pain.

"Doctor..." the commander warned him when he noticed Lee taking a shaky step forward. Hwan, the infected man, furrowed his brows at the soldier's words as if he was trying to understand him. It seemed like he was having difficulty trying to translate foreign languages in his head.

"Not making...any sense..." he groaned all of a sudden, shaking his head vigorously. The commander stepped back slowly as the battered scientist distracted himself.

"Hwan...listen...you're sick.. but don't worry. I'll fix it... I promise I'll fix it okay?" Lee used his hands to calm the hyperventilating man in front of them.

"Stop..talking.." he grunted and clutched onto his head. But Lee continued.

"You just have to listen to me okay? Can you do that for me? I-"

"Stop talking..." he whispered this time, breathing heavily as he crouched down into a squat.

"Stop talking, stop talking, stop talking, STOP TALKING!" he screamed looking up, completely mad.

"Hwan I-"

The infected scientist's body suddenly stiffened, his bloodied eyes rolled up to the back of his head and he collapsed. His mouth stayed open in a silent scream of terror as foam frothed at the corners. Not even a second later and his body jerked up into an arch as if his spine had snapped into two. He started convulsing violently, his arms moving around in an irregular motion.

The commander jumped back in surprise and moved his hand to ensure that Lee wouldn't advance toward the spasming body on the floor. Thick tears cascaded down the scientist's face at the sight of his best friend. 

A raw sob escaped Lee's mouth when Hwan stilled.

Another scream, worse than before, erupted from Hwan's ravaged throat, it came out sounding like the roar of an enraged animal. The man finally got control of his arms and pressed them against the sides of his head, twisting this way and that, as if he were trying to screw the thing right off his neck. The screams kept coming, broken up by the only two words he seemed to know.

"MY HEAD! MY HEAD! MY HEAD!"

"Hwan," Lee whispered, knowing there was no way he could try to communicate with his colleague now. And despite how guilty and sick it made him feel, Lee also knew he couldn't possibly go to him. It would be beyond stupid and irrational. Not to mention the man was scared to death. 

"MY HEEEEEEAAAAAAD!" Hwan shouted in one long, drawn out wail of such ferocity that Lee stepped back again. He didn't know if he could bear to look anymore, he closed his eyes with a pained expression.

There was the sound of movement, the shuffling of feet.

Then there was a loud thunk against the floor. 

Then another...and another...

Thunk. Thunk. Thunk.

Lee knew what that horrible sound was. The commander was suddenly there, grabbing him by the shoulder and yanking him away while the scientist let the agony take over. His sobs racked his body entirely as he willed himself to walk.

There were a few more thunks, and then a last, long, piercing scream that ended in a wet, gurgly burst. After that Lee heard Hwan slump to the floor with an exhale of breath.

"C'mon doctor...let's get out of here before anything else happens..."

-----------

Lee was ashamed of himself, but all he felt in that quiet moment was relief that the ordeal had finally ended.

"He's dead..." he stated flatly, seeming like he was still trying to process the events that took place minutes ago.

"Be glad it wasn't you on that floor and that it was someone else. It's either kill or be killed in this world doctor and it looks like you've been cooped up in that lab for too long. You yourself should know the natural order of life.."

"WHAT OF THAT WAS NATURAL TO YOU?!" Lee whipped his head to the side and glared at the soldier walking beside him. "AND KILL OR BE KILLED? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOU INHUMANE SHAMELESS SHELL OF A MAN.... I DON'T CARE IF IT HAPPENS TO ME OR NOT.... I DIDN'T WANT ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

"It doesn't matter if it was what you wanted or not...it still happened and there's nothing you can do about it. And don't misunderstand...I've seen enough death and destruction to know that the saying 'survival of the fittest' is basically God's word. Being in the army you get your fair share of traumatic baggage and that back there...that was child's play" the commander spoke calmly as if he was reminiscing a horrible past, like a vivid montage, replaying over and over in his mind.

Lee stayed silent not knowing what to say. He decided to put a stop to the conversation, not liking where it was headed. Instead, he did what he did best. 

Analyze.

"Back there...If I'm not mistaken it seems that the virus isn't airborne which is reassuring. Rather it's spread through transmission of blood and physical contact with a wound between the infected and the victim. But due to the elevation of mutation, we can't say for sure it won't become airborne. It's only a matter of time before it decides to evolve" he bit his lip thinking hard about the repercussions of the virus escaping. If they were all going to react the way that Hwan did there would be bloodshed. Mania and pure panic would ravage the country, perhaps the world.

God, how he wished he had just taken that desk job instead of taking a course in Vivisection. He just had to be the gifted child he was. But if he hadn't, he wouldn't be able to stop the virus, something he was planning on doing. He promised his best friend and he was going to fulfill that promise even if that was the last thing he did.

Third Person's P.O.V (Back to the present...)

BOOM..

There was a burst of vivid colour behind the truck followed by a deafening blare. The sound seemed louder than a shotgun being held next to a microphone. There was a strange shift in the air, possibly the shockwave. Yoongi jerked the vehicle to a stop and rolled down the window, looking out to see what happened.

"Holy shit! What the fuck was that?" Taehyung's wide eyes caught sight of the huge fire and black smoke originating from where they had just come from. He couldn't see much due to the houses blocking his view but it was definitely the building.

Yera smirked and reached out to highfive Seokjin who had leaned back in his seat to get her reaction.

"Took it long enough...was wondering when that would happen.." Namjoon mumbled, making the high-fiving duo drop their smiles.

"I kinda wanna laugh right now...Seokjin? Would you do the honors?" Yera snickered cockily.

"As a matter of fact I will, thank you Kim...babes...we did that...we are the ones that blew that baby up. You guys had nothing to do with that" Seokjin chuckled, looking around at his boyfriends who each had a look of amusement. Except for Yoongi, he held a small smirk waiting for the exact moment their bubble would burst.

"Why...are you guys looking at us like that..?" Yera asked, looking weirded out. But when realization dawned upon her it was too late to take that embarrassing moment back.

"No-" Yera squeaked angrily.

"Yes." Jimin cracked a smile, enjoying the look of complete humiliation Yera had on her face.

"YOU SONS OF BITCHES- YOU DID NOT!" Seokjin fumbled in his seat to turn around and glare at his boyfriend.

"Looks we had something to do with that," Namjoon stated with a smug look.

"THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR COOL MOMENT NOT YOURS YOU SHITS" Seokjin smacked Yoongi's hand away from him when he had tried to get the enraged male to sit down. The vehicle had started and he didn't want his boyfriend flying out through the windshield if he happened to hit the brakes suddenly.

"It's whatever Seokjin..just forget it- they took the wind out of our hair" Yera grumbled and flipped Jungkook off when he cooed at her sulky face.

"I'll kick your ass, Jeon.." she warned, making him stop immediately.

"The roads are empty...like not a single zombie in sight.." Hoseok spoke up looking around the deserted neighborhood.

"Yoongi..where are we exactly?.." Namjoon questioned leaning forward and grabbing onto the driver-seat headrest to get a better view.

"I may have taken a different turn..." Yoongi trailed off avoiding Seokjin's livid glare.

"You...what?.." Yera growled, taking the words right out of Seokjin's mouth.

"I mean...like...HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SEE SHIT WITH THIS MESSED UP WINDSHIELD HUH?" he exploded, face turning red.

"AND WHO'S FAULT IS THAT BITCH? MISTER 'I'LL USE THE WIPER TO GET IT OFF'!" Seokjin smacked the boy's bicep, sneakily covering up the instant blush when he felt the hard muscle. Yoongi's arms were lethal and Seokjin loved it, but he was too angry at that point to gush over them.

"So what you're saying is...we're lost..." Jimin added, almost laughing. He was absolutely loving the drama and of course, he was going to add gasoline to the fire.

"Yes, Jimin. We are lost. Is that what you wanted to hear huh? You happy?" Yoongi snapped, glaring at him through the rearview mirror. Jimin was still deadset on ignoring him and Yoongi knew the very thing that would make him stop his tantrum. Act like you don't care if he's mad. Of course, it was easy since Jimin was overreacting and was just being a baby about the issue.

The pinkette quietened and shrunk back in his seat biting his lip. He would be lying if he said that he didn't find it an incredible turn-on whenever Yoongi got mad and completely ignored him.

And yet again another one of Yoongi's outbursts quietened the vehicle.

----------

Min Yoongi's P.O.V

"Wait...what is that?" Jungkook leaned forward from the backseat and pointed ahead. Yoongi squinted and widened his eyes, alarmed at the scene.

They were able to see after Seokjin snapped out of nowhere and demanded that the vehicle be stopped, much to Yoongi's surprise. The oldest had then grabbed onto the handle on the roof of the car, jerked his body upward, and brought his legs down on the destroyed windshield, hard. The mint-haired boy merely watched with an unreadable expression but to sum it up he looked hopelessly....horny. (hsefbeskg i mean in love- sorry :3 im not even going to fix it uwu)

Seokjin kicked it violently, until it popped out of the frame, completely. The glass slid off the hood of the car and fell to the floor with a crash. Seokjin had never been more attractive than he had at that moment and the boys couldn't believe they were dating such a being. Yoongi could tell even Yera had to stop herself from fawning over the action since he could feel her shuffling around behind his seat when it happened.

"Oh fuck, we got company" Seokjin deadpanned, removing his legs from the dashboard to sit up straight.
