Chapter Text
Day 1 - First encounter
Tears start pouring heavily from the sky washing away all the blood on the grounds. It's like sky is crying for having to witness all bad things occur to all human being. Humanity is gone. There's no peaceful life anymore.
Having to carry bag and weapon weight a lot but it's necessary for survival. To survive alone, one need to make sure they have all what they need. Water, food, ammo, name it the bag has it all.
A man known as (your name) walks carefully without making too much noise. Walking in rain is already too much let alone to endure this coldness but it's all efforts that bring advantage for (y/n). Since it's raining a lot, the zombies around him won't bother to chase him because they are too focused on the sound of the rain hitting the ground. He still need to be careful though. One mistake cost his life. There's no return.
"..." He came upon a police station at the corner of the street.
The place looks abandoned since no one is inside the building. Each room has been inspected and the kitchen also clear. The only thing he need at the moment is toilet.
He push the door carefully and peek inside. No one. He sigh in relieve finally get to pee. All stalls are open so he knows there's nothing inside. Little did he know a hand is reaching him from above.
Looking up, he fires. The zombie fall down from the hole in the ceiling. From how it dressed it was a police officer. He probably hiding up there to save himself but because of the bite on its arm, he turned into a zombie.
(Y/n) make sure it's really dead before checking the hole. It's empty. This officer probably alone up there. Thinking it's finally safe, he continues his business first before going outside.
~BTS situation~
"Hyung, it's been several hours since he gone out. Our driver didn't come back at all. Will he be safe?" Jimin checks outside for any sight of their driver but the only thing he saw is a dead man walking near their car.
"Woah, he's creeping me out! Why won't he go away!" Hoseok grabs on Jimin's arm tightly.
"You hurt him Hyung, let him go." Jungkook suddenly speak. Hoseok notices, he quickly let go.
"Sorry Jimin-ah. I'm too scared."
"It's fine, we all are in the same situation here. Even I'm scared right now." He smiles but he still can't hide his worry.
Their driver has been gone few hours ago saying he need to find help but didn't return because he got caught by one of the zombie he encountered. At first everything seems fine but next thing they know, this world no longer normal.
"Is this what they call zombie? It seems real." Suga stares outside.
"It is real. Look what he done to that lady over there! He ate her." Namjoon quickly answers.
"It's all my fault, if I didn't make our driver lost focus while driving, we won't hit her. I'm a murderer." Taehyung mutters alone at the back. Everyone become surprise to hear him say that.
"It's not your fault! It was an accident! That lady suddenly appear on the street and didn't even avoid!" Jungkook sits next to him and starts shouting.
"Shh... Quiet down." Jin caught all members attention and he points outside. "He reacts to you and is walking to us right now."
Everyone gone silent. They knew zombies react to noises and ate living human.
"We need to leave." Suga interrupts them.
"What about-" Jimin starts.
"He's gone. There's no point on waiting." Suga cuts him off.
"Wait, I see him!" Hoseok grabs Suga. "Look!"
A man is walking with a few other people behind him but from their behaviour something is wrong.
"He's a goner. Let's get out from this place." Everyone's face pale, mouth hanging. Namjoon asks Jungkook to drive them away and he complies.
"No way... What to do now?"
"We are on our own. There's no help coming. Even the police didn't answer my calls." Suga checks his phone for any news.
"It's my fault... It's my fault... It's my fault... All my fault..." A voice is chanting lowly at the back.
"Jimin, sit with him alright?" Namjoon says.
"Of course, I'm going to doing it anyways." Jimin do all he can to calm Taehyung down and telling him it's not his fault all this happen. Taehyung cries a lot on Jimin's shoulder. Everyone is more worried about his state than their situation right now.
"So hungry..." Jin slumps in his seat.
"Wait, I see a store over there. Should we stop by?" Jungkook says.
"It's dangerous outside with all those zombies and we got no weapon." Suga says the fact.
Everyone is brainstorming how to get out and find food. Suddenly, they see a figure outside the store. He seems to go inside with huge bag and...
"He got weapon! We can get help from that guy!"
"Okay Jungkook, park in front the store as close as possible." Namjoon says.
"Okay." Once there, Namjoon goes out.
"Hyung!?" Jungkook stops him.
"It's fine. Close the door. I'm going for him. Be back soon. I promise." He runs inside.
"Hyung... Please be safe..." Jimin whispers.
~Inside~
Namjoon searches for the man while running. His heart is racing. He's scared but he has to do this. That guy is the only option to safe everyone.
A gun pointed at him and he can see from corner of his eyes that the man he's looking for is him.
"..."
Namjoon raises both his hands slowly in surrendering manner. He turns around without moving too much. "We need your help." He tells the man. Sweats dripping from his forehead. He don't want to be killed knowing other members need him so he need to be alive and get this man to help them.
"You almost got shot you know. Don't chase me like that. I thought you were zombie." He puts down his gun and Namjoon can now relax.
"Sorry. I'm too afraid to lose you. I saw you enter this store few minutes ago so I had to chase you before it's too late." He says.
"Hm? Aren't you Rap Mon from BTS idol group?" The man walks near to get a good look at him.
"Yes. I'm glad you know me. Other members are outside. We got car too."
The man hums. "You guys eaten yet?"
"No. We all hungry."
"Follow me. I'll protect you."
"Thank you. Um, what's your name?"
"(Y/n)." He gathers food from the cabinet and other few things and put them all inside the bag. Namjoon helps him and carry several items too.
"You chase me without any single weapon. So bold." He chuckles.
"Eh? Ah... Haha... That's silly of me."
~Inside car~
*Knock* *Knock* Jin immediately opens the door and let Namjoon in. He is followed by a man behind him. He puts down his bag and weapon next the door and sighs.
"Sorry guys, meet (y/n). He will join us from now on." Namjoon introduces the man while he smiles at everyone in the car.
"Hey, I'm glad you all are safe." He greets.
"Took you long enough, Hyung. I'm worried." Jimin speaks.
"Hey, thanks for being here." Hoseok offers a handshake to him.
"Yeah, no problem man." He accepts.
~On the way to police station~
"So... It's safe there?" Namjoon asks.
"Yeah, I have checked all around that place including the basement. Even the ceiling, I check too."
"Why ceiling?" Suga asks.
"Apparently, I met one zombie hanging from the ceiling. There's hole there so it's been hiding there for awhile until I came there."
"I see. That was close."
"There are enough weapon for all of you so you can learn how to shoot there. For self defense."
"Did you get enough food from the store? I can cook something for you. A proper meal I mean." Jin says.
"Yeah, Namjoon hyung told me to bring any ingredients necessary for you to cook. So don't worry about that. I got you covered." He laughs making others laugh too.
"That's good then."
"Well I'm glad to meet you guys. My legs are killing me. It's hard to walk alone." (Y/n) pats on Jungkook's shoulder. "It's around that corner. Turn right over there."
"Okay."
~Upon arriving~
"Finally, soft couch. It's good to be here." Suga jumps on one as soon as he enters.
"Well then guys, get comfortable like your own home even though Suga hyung already did. Haha!" (Y/n) chuckles watching Suga rolling about on the couch getting good position.
"Where's the bathroom?" Jimin taps (y/n).
"Over there." He says.
"Watch out above you, we don't want zombie hanging on ceiling." Hoseok jokes.
"Hyung, shut up. Don't scare me." He turns to walk to bathroom but still standing still watching the area. (Y/n) notice him stopped his track and his body is shaking a little.
"I'll go with you. Don't worry." He lightly slap Jimin's back.
"Thanks. But I'm fine by myself." Jimin smiles, trying to be brave.
"Nah, it's okay. I'm going there too. I need to close the hole in the ceiling." He continues to smile while following (Y/n).
~Inside the bathroom~
"Where's that zombie's body?" Jimin looks around. "Could it be... It still alive and walking about?" Face pale, he steps back, bumping into (y/n).
"No, silly. I dump it outside of course. I made sure this place is as good as home you know. Even I don't want to smell corpse all the time."
"Uhuh... You really turn this place into your own home." Jimin enters one of the stalls and close the door behind him.
He continues, "How did you survive on your own? It's amazing."
"I'm a fighter. I learn combat skills in military. I'm lucky I still got my hand on some weapon while I'm still there."
"What about other people?" While (Y/n) fixes together a few planks to make it big enough to cover the hole, he stops for awhile.
"They all gone." He continues his work.
Jimin felt his heart tighten. He knows what exactly shows on (y/n)'s face. (Y/n) probably getting sad to see his comrades dying in front of him.
He runs the water so he can wash up but something suddenly appears above him.
He looks up.
Meeting eye with eye. Heat immediately rise on his face. He stares at (y/n) who also gotten red as well. His body is exposed.
"Uwaahhh! What were you doing?" He immediately covers himself as much as he could. On the other hand, (y/n) quickly come down after accidentally seeing something he shouldn't see.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" (Y/n) covers his face, regretting it.
"What happened? Jimin, are you alright?" Jungkook bursts inside, shouting, followed by other members with worried face.
"I'm fine!" Shout is heard inside the stall.
"We came because we heard yelling." Jin says.
"Yeah, sorry about that. My mistake." (Y/n) sweat drops.
"Jin hyung, something is burning." Suga reminds him.
"Shoot! I left the stove on." He runs out.
"Hey, how did you get that injuries?" Hoseok notices blood on (y/n)'s palm. He inspects it before running the tap water on it.
"Ow... I fell down just now." (Y/n) says.
"So, even (y/n) can get hurt easily from something like this." Suga snickers.
"I'm a normal person. Even I could get hurt from something like this." (Y/n) laughs.
Jimin come out as soon as he finishes. He stares at (y/n) before looking down. "That looks painful. Please be careful next time." (Y/n) nods, smiling.
"I will."
~While eating~
"Hm? What's the matter with him? Is he sick?" (Y/n) whispers to Hoseok who sat next to him as they watch Taehyung getting up and wash his hand without eating much.
"Ah... He's been blaming himself for what happened before we met you." He says.
"Tell me."
Hoseok looks at others and ask them if it's okay to tell (y/n) what happened. Once he got an okay from everyone, he starts talking.
~Time skip~
"Anything interesting out there? I'm sure there's nothing but zombies. Why are you so out today?" Taehyung flinches as he heard (y/n)'s voice. (Y/n) sits beside him and stare out of window too. Taehyung choose not to say anything and continues to ignore him.
"You know what? I killed a person too." This time it got Taehyung's attention. He stare at him with big eyes.
"What..."
"One of my friends. He got bitten on his leg, while we were running away from... a horde of zombies that crashed the main gate. I thought we will be okay as long as we escape. Then, we witness other people changed. We were afraid he would turn into zombies too and bite all of us. He said he don't want to kill us so... He asked me to kill him before it's too late." (Y/n) look at him with dark eyes. "And I did. I killed him."
Taehyung pulls (y/n) into a hug. He could see tears even in the dark. (y/n) is crying. He knows it. This guy seems tough outside. If he didn't share his story, he won't know what happened.
"It's fine. Let everything out." Taehyung rubs his back soothingly. "I'm sure your friend is glad you're safe."
"Mnn... I hope so. That lady too." (y/n) pulls away. "She's probably glad you hit her. I mean... If she got bitten won't she feel sad if she bite other people? You probably saved her. If she's alive, it's a misery to live in this wicked world. There's no way she can save herself from all those zombies out there." Taehyung look at him, smile start to form on his face.
"You're probably right. I can't blame myself for killing her. Our normal life is gone and it's better to leave this world than living in this hell." He grabs (y/n)'s face. "But there's no way we could kill ourselves right?"
"True. We have to fight and survive. For everyone we love. No way I'm losing to those zombies." (y/n) clenches his teeth, looking out window. Zombies have been roaming outside for awhile now.
"Hey, you two. Did I miss something? You two were having a nice moment there." Hoseok comes into view. He giggles once he saw (y/n)'s crying.
Shocked, Taehyung lets go and steps away from (y/n) feeling a bit shy.
"Aww, is our little (y/n) crying? Come here, let big brother help you feel better." He wipes his tears away, still giggling.
"I'm not little..." (y/n) mutters, glaring at him.
"Don't glare at me like that. It hurts my heart." He fake hurting while touching his chest.
"So... You heard?" (y/n) questions him.
"Well, I got worried about you two. That's why I came as soon as I finished eating. Never knew what you went through though. It must be painful to keep it bottled up. Good thing you shared with Taehyung and I'm glad you both are okay now. Don't blame yourself ever again alright, Taehyung?" He face Taehyung, showing his brightest smile.
"I won't. Thanks, hyung. Thanks to you too (y/n)." (y/n) stare at him wide eyed.
"I did nothing though. Why did you thank me?" He frowns.
"Well, you saved me." He grins.
"Uh, okay..."
The day ended, but tomorrow still come. Everyone helps each other with setting up their sleep place. They found several mattress and combine them big enough for everyone.
Thanks to (y/n), they found everything they need. That boy really did search every crook and cranny of this place. They all sigh in relief. Being grateful to live another day. All thanks to their new friend, (y/n).
Namjoon can't help but smiling, remembering his encounter with (y/n). While they search for food, (y/n) saved him. He thought he's a goner but as quick as the lighting, (y/n) kicks the zombies away from him and shot the head. If not for (y/n), he won't be alive.
Jin is glad. All members are safe and alive. He don't want to see anyone hurt. Seeing Taehyung, his heart felt a lot better now that the boy is smiling again.
Jimin kept remembering those embarrassing moment. He felt exposed when he met with (y/n)'s eyes earlier while getting the place comfortable to sleep. He tried to avoid making eye contact with him as much as possible but failed because that boy is too attractive and their sleeping position is not helping him at all since they are sleeping right next to each other.
Hoseok on the other hand, smiles while thinking how adorable (y/n) is. At first meeting, he seems tough like a big grown up man but seeing him cry makes him want to protect him like protecting a little brother. He wonders if (y/n) is younger than most of them.
Jungkook, Suga and Taehyung all sleeps comfortably knowing they are under protection. Especially Taehyung, he's so glad with his little conversation with (y/n). Burden has been lifted in him. He no longer blame himself for all what happened today. It was all an accident. That lady coincidentally cross the road and got hit. They all smiles and go to sleep.
One boy sits up, looking around, he notice the smile on everyone's face. He sighs, today have been a long and tiring day he's having. If Namjoon didn't chase after him, he probably end up being all alone again. Having a company like this is fun and he loves hanging out with all of them.
He gets up, going somewhere. In his head, there's something he got to do. He don't know if there's safe area somewhere with survivors. He also don't know if government are protected and hidden or if they are trying to find all cause of this mess but he got to do something. For humanity.
