There Will Be Carnage ✔

5. Bleach

A/N: ⚠️ MAKE SURE TO CHECK THE WARNINGS IN THE DESCRIPTION. I UPDATED THEM. THEY NOW INCLUDE A COUPLE OF TRIGGER WARNINGS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT INTO EFFECT FOR FUTURE MENTIONS OF THESE TOPICS IN THIS STORY.

We always have to have a character with a dark backstory, so sorry about that one T-T.

The five of them sat in Yeonjun and Soobin's now shared room and were talking about all of this.

"We should only stay here for a bit," Soobin said, rubbing Yeonjun's back who was drinking water. "We shouldn't get close to any new people. And I know you won't agree with me, but-"

"No, I agree with you," Beomgyu said, standing up. "We should go meet the others now."

They all nodded and walked out. After a few minutes, they met the others. There was Ravn, Seoho, Leedo, Keonhee, Hwanwoong, and Xion. Some of those were nicknames, but like Ravn, they liked being called by them.

"So what brings you guys here?" Leedo asked, pulling Xion into his lap and making the younger boy blush furiously.

"Well we were just outside," Soobin said. "And your friend offered for us to come in."

They nodded and continued talking amongst themselves. Meanwhile, Yeonjun dragged Soobin to their shared bedroom and slammed him against the door to kiss him.

"What are you doing?" He asked. "There are people here."

"Then I guess we'll have to be quiet."

"Did you hit your head when you fell?"

Yeonjun giggled and shook his head, pulling him to the bed to continue kissing him.

"Hey, I-" Taehyun stopped and stared at the two making out with wide eyes. "Nevermind. I'll just go bleach my eyes," he said, walking out and quickly running to his room.

In the middle of the night, Taehyun got thirsty and went upstairs to get water, seeing Kai laying on the couch with Carmen cuddled up to him.

"Kai?" He asked, making the boy jump and look at him. "Sorry. Why aren't you in your room?"

"It's too cold in there. And I can't go in Yeonbin's room because they're too horny right now."

Taehyun made a disgusted face and then moved Kai's legs off the couch to sit next to him.

"What about Pretty Boy?"

Kai looked at him and giggled. "You think Beomgyu's pretty?"

He looked at Kai mid sip and quickly shook his head. "Other people would though."

"If you think other people would think of him as pretty, then that means you also do in some way." He sat up fully and looked at Taehyun intently. "What happened to you?"

"Nothing."

"Why are you so mean?"

"Because people are idiots."

"Did something happen to you that made you have that mindset?"

Taehyun shook his head. "No."

He looked at Taehyun again, this time examining him for any scars or anything that could indicate signs of harm.

But he didn't see anything. Well Taehyun was covering everything but his face and neck, but still.

"Thank you for saving my friends," he said, gesturing towards Taehyun's injured hand. "That's pretty cool." Taehyun nodded and Kai stood up with Carmen following. "I'm gonna go back to my room now. Good night."

"Night," he whispered.

Kai smiled and walked away. He knew Taehyun was hiding something. Something that was probably personal, and as much as Kai respected that, he couldn't help but feel curious.

Taehyun was such a badass, but he looked like he was going through a lot that Kai just couldn't put his finger on.

And he wanted to help, so it started hurting him that Taehyun was shutting him out.

But he guessed Taehyun did that to everyone. Never showed his emotions so that way he could look like the bitchiest bitch of the west.

It was working and Kai didn't like it.

Taehyun stood up soon after, going back downstairs and opening his door.

"I thought only fire killed the monsters," Beomgyu said from where he was laying flat on Taehyun's bed. "So how did you kill them with just a gun?"

"Steel also kills them," he informed, turning around and taking his shirt off. Beomgyu tilted his head, seeing Taehyun's muscular back that was covered in slash-like scars, before it was covered in a white, long-sleeved shirt. "What are you doing in my room?"

Beomgyu stood up and walked over to him, placing his hands gently on the younger's back. Taehyun tensed at his touch, shutting his eyes and then quickly moving away.

"Don't do that."

"I'm here to ask you for advice."

Taehyun squinted his eyes and then shook his head. "You don't want any advice from me," he said, walking over to sit on his bed.

"What would you do if I told you I liked you?"

"I would tell you you're crazy. We're in an apocalypse and we just met yesterday. Come on Beomgyu."

"Sheesh. No need to be rude. I'm sorry if I'm a little shallow. It's your fault. Anyway, good night."

A/N: Short chapter but I'm kind of writing a lot of them lol.
