Jimin POV
I promised her, I did, and I had every intention in the world to keep it, but now? I’m not so sure.
She was holding her tears so hard when I volunteered to be the bait, and I’m not sure if she hated me for keep volunteering myself for stuff like this but I can’t help it.
You’d do it when you find someone worth dying for.
She may be wondering why we’re still not there, and she might have cussed the others for letting us go… it might be the last time we meet and I’m starting to regret that I didn’t tell her everything.
I shook my head hastily. What am I thinking? Of course I should be back in one piece, or else she’d haunt me for life. I supressed my chuckle and looked at the guys in front of us.
When we came out, there were nine of them, each one was armed with guns. We were outnumbered, but since we’re outside in the open, it was not really safe to use guns since the sound will echo and attract the dead. So we took them by hands. We’ve got four of them; Suho and I each took one and Kris had his hands full with two of them, one was killed when Kris snapped his neck around. The one Suho took care of had fired once and all of us stood in silence, looking around in alarm.
Then things turned like it was now.
The leader of the group outside still held his smirk from before. He thought that the zombies were too far away to hear the gunshot and have ordered his dogs to aim their guns at us, thus we’ve got four guns on our noses.
“Still think you can escape, huh, kids?” The guy said, his voice laced thickly with accent.
“Let us go, and you’ll live.” Suho said. I cringed at his calmness.
The guy laughed, and I cringed twice. His voice was so darn loud, it could wake Michael up from the dead. But Thriller was lit, does anyone else agree with me? No? Okay.
Well it seemed like the guy was very adamant that they were safe from those flesh eaters, stupid fuckers, WE’LL ALL DIE IF WE DON’T GO NOW!
“The dead has probably heard that gunshot, so it’s better if we go on our way, NOW.” Suho continued, there was a hint of urgency in his voice now. But the lanky dark haired dude just laughed again.
Idiot.
I felt Kris shuffled beside me and I glanced at him just to see he already had his gaze on me. He darted his eyes to the front again, a bit to the left and I followed. A group of flesh eater was slowly making their way towards us from between the buildings. They must’ve heard the sound, and I thought this was just the start, the other would come too. The group of zombies I saw in a distance itself will be a lot to handle and I’m worrying about me and my friends’ life. But they weren’t running like mad old lady to us though, so I took it as a good sign, it meant they were just following the sound. But it didn’t mean they won’t see us sooner or later and to think that these guys will not hesitate to use the gun again…
Just. Fucking. Great.
I grew anxious and looked back forward, clenching my teeth hard. Suho was in front of Kris and I, whilst the guys were opposite of us, pointing their guns at us. They were oblivious of the danger that was coming fast as they had their backs on it.
“I told you…” the guy said, “it is you who gonna die first.” He grinned evilly.
This was taking a lot of time.
I sighed harshly getting attention from the other guys. “Are we going to fight or not? Because we’re about to become fresh meats.”
I nudged my head toward the zombies and they followed. Their eyes widened and I took advantage of their shaken state. I grabbed the nearest guy and twisted his hand. He screamed loudly as I snatched the gun from his other hand and hit it on his neck. He fell onto the ground unconscious. Kris was fast to follow my lead and started fighting a guy near him. Suho did the same, head-locking a guy that he used as a barrier between him and the seething leader.
“Well shit.” I heard someone muttered behind me and I turned on my heels abruptly.
Another bad guy was staring at something wide-eyed and I followed his gaze just to see the group of zombies approaching us in a fast rate. They must’ve heard the guy’s scream just now. But damn, these zombies were fast. I doubt they were that athletic before they, you know, changed.
I turned at the bad guy behind me again and saw that the spot was empty. He fled, that moron. I jumped to act and shot the leader dead just as Suho hit the guy he had been jazzing around with using a gun, like I did with the first one. He glared at me for making noise and I sighed exasperatedly.
“The zombies are coming. Quick!” I yelled, turning to Kris who was standing next to me. I glanced at the guy he fought with and saw that he was lying on the floor with his neck snapped in an unnatural angle. News flash, Kris seemed to have a fetish on snapping people’s neck.
“C’mon.” He grunted and ran with Suho and me on his trail.
Jungkook POV
The sun was setting in the horizons yet the others haven’t returned yet. One of the guys who found us, Eunwoo was his name if I recalled correctly- I was such in a daze most of the time that I barely even noticed what happened around me after we reached the safety. Eunwoo said some of their comrades were also outside for food hunting and will return when the dawn is setting. They were also always on the search for any survivors out there and bring them back to the camp so our friends might be saved.
But it didn’t ease the tension that was circling around us like thick cloud.
Chanyeol was currently sitting on a corner, his eyes was fixed on the portable fire pit as the flame was slowly eating the coal. Luhan was sitting at his left, busying himself to tend on Chanyeol’s bruises. Sometimes the latter would flinch at the stinging pain no doubt was the results of the rubbing alcohol.
Eunji was far to his right, sitting cross-legged on the floor. Her expression was unreadable, just like it always have and she have been quiet since we arrived here. Sometimes I wish I could see what’s inside that head of hers.
Chanyeol and her, was still not in speaking terms, you’d think being kidnapped together will force them to interact somehow, but no. Both of them were undoubtedly stubborn. Her once white top was now painted with dirt. Her hair was held up in a high ponytail, the way my Suzy used to wear hers before. My heart contradicted to the thoughts of her. I missed her every single time, and I’m still beating myself up for letting her go alone while I should be accompanying her. Truth was, I was pretty occupied by the girl I saved that I didn’t realised I had another important person to care for. I was a useless boyfriend.
“I wish they’re okay.” Someone murmured beside me and I turned around. Taehyung was leaning on the wall, his long legs were sprawled in front of him. I nodded.
“Do you think that they make it?” Kai asked. He was sitting beside Taehyung. I gulped.
“Of course they would.” I said convincingly, but I felt like it was directed to myself. I was convincing myself that everything was going to be okay. Everyone was pretty quiet after that.
“Hey,” a voice said and we all turned toward the guy who was standing behind Naeun.
“I brought food and more gauze…” he passed the black plastic bag to Luhan, which held food and medicines, as he told us.
“Mingyu…” Taehyung started and the guy looked at us. “Right?”
He nodded.
“Where’s Eunwoo?”
He grinned. “He’s on gate patrolling tonight hence he was the one who saw you. He told me one of you is injured so I brought you some meds.” Mingyu said. “You’ll have to meet our leader later though, he’s out with the food team.”
Just as he finished saying that, his walkie screeched out, the sound resonated throughout the huge space and I could’ve sworn I saw Naeun jumped from her place.
He smiled sheepishly. “Sorry, my radio has some difficulties.” He grabbed it from his back pocket.
“Yeah?”
“Mingyu, come here. We need you.” The person from the other line said and he sighed.
“Roger that.” He turned to us and smiled. “Well gotta go. Duty calls.” He winked and left.
We were back to silence until Naeun opened her pretty little mouth.
“This is all your fault.”
We all turned to her who sat alone all these while and were stunned when we saw that she had her eyes fixed on someone.
“You planned this all along, didn’t you?” She said accusingly. “From Lay, to Chanyeol and Jimin… You just won’t stop until we all die!”
I didn’t know how to react, and I’m sure the others didn’t too. I didn’t know which was more shocking; the fact that Naeun silently accusing Eunji for everything or that she was… crying?
“It’s not her fault.” A gruff voice said and we looked at Chanyeol. I was even more surprised that he took Eunji’s side. Even Luhan was dumbstruck. “We were kidnapped together.”
“How would you know she isn’t part of this?” She spat. “Maybe she’s working with those dirty bastards too.” She shuddered in disgust.
Eunji kept quiet but she didn’t divert her gaze away from the fuming girl.
“Why don’t you say something, huh? Cat got your tongue?”
I cleared my throat. “Naeun, stop. They will come back.”
“What if they don’t?” A voice chipped in.
I glared at Kai. “They will. Now let’s eat, we’re gonna need all of our strength.”
Luhan started to hand us each one a wrapped food and bottled water. I looked at Naeun who was nibbling on her bun, still sniffling quietly. The others started eating too, Kai and Taehyung took bite on each other’s food and I cringed. The sweetness was too much for me to handle.
“I’m going to the toilet.” Eunji mumbled and stood up, walking to the direction of the toilet where Eunwoo told us before.
I noticed Chanyeol’s eyes following her but since he didn’t make any sign of going after her, somebody should. Besides, there’s something about toilet that’s bothering me, and I certainly didn’t want the past to happen again.
I stood up and Taehyung turned to me. “Where are you going?”
“I er… want to wash my hands.” I muttered and thank goodness he bought it. He nodded and turned back to Kai who was in a middle of his storytelling, about some kind of bad chicken or something.
“Are you okay?” I asked once I reached the toilet. Eunji looked at my reflection from the mirror and nodded. She seemed to be scrubbing her hands from dirt at the sink.
“Listen-“
“Leave it Jungkook.” She cut me off, her face was stoic. “What she said don’t even bother me.”
I sensed a smirk coming as I leaned on the doorway. “Who said I’m talking about that?”
She froze but quickly resumed her act. I chuckled quietly. Not so cold, huh?
“I want to thank you.”
“For what?”
“Putting Suzy at peace. I know she wouldn’t want to turn into one of those things.”
She nodded and turned around to face me, her hair swirled around. I stood straighter, there’s that spark again. Time slowed as she was waving her hands around to get rid of the water. She looked like a penguin. A very cute, hot penguin… wait what?
She was patting her hands dry with a clean cloth she found somewhere, I didn’t notice due to my weird thoughts.
“Let’s go back.” She said walking past me, leaving me speechless, trailing after her.
“Guys we’ve found someone at the gate just now.”
The urgent words that came out of Eunwoo’s mouth made Naeun stood almost immediately.
“Who? How many are they?” She asked, her eyes wide as she craned her head at the door behind him.
Eunwoo shook his head. “He’s alone, and is badly wounded, so I asked one of my friend to fix him first. She’ll bring him here any time now.”
Just as he finished, the door opened revealing a cute looking girl.
“Ah Dahyun, you’re here.” Eunwoo smiled at her and she nodded shyly. She opened the door widely for the person to enter.
To say that we were shocked to our core was an understatement. The guy who was standing in front of us with a weak smile had a few cuts on his face, and his left arm seemed to bleed slightly from the bandage.
Taehyung was the first one to talk. “Kris?”
