Dying became something we were all afraid of. I, too, became afraid of dying.

"So are you two going to quarantine or?" Hye-sun asked.

I got up and scanned the room.

"Do you think Hyunsu and I are a threat to you all?" I asked silently.

Their faces showed confusion as they all kept their mouths shut.

"Are we?" I walked around as everyone was staring at us. A couple of breath's hitched and others were normal.

"Is that a no?"

They all nodded. I smiled slightly.

"If that is the case then I think Hyunsu and I should be able to quarantine whenever we feel like." I nodded to myself.

Hyunsu nodded his head as well.

"Great. Now, if you all don't mind, I am going to clean myself up." I walked past them and headed to the shower room.

There was a bucket of water and a rag that I used to clean myself with. Knocking interrupted the silence of the room.

"Occupied!" I shout.

"It's me." Hyuk said from the other side of the door.

I quickly dried off and put on cleaner clothes.

He opened the doors and stood against the wall.

"How do you feel?" I asked him.

"I should really be asking YOU, how you feel."

"I feel great. Why?"

"What do you mean why? You just took some spider limbs out of you body and now you're taking a shower and having a conversation with me."

"And? I'm not really human anymore...neither are you Eunhyuk."

☢︎︎☢︎︎☢︎︎☢︎︎

"I still believe I am. Just a bit, is still left in me." Eunhyuk states.

Min cocks her brow. "I used to believe that too. Still kinda do." She dried her hair with a towel.

He checked her shoulder. It was still healing and had been inflamed.

He sighed.

"Stop worrying about me-"

"I love you." He cuts her off.

"Huh?" Minsu contorted her face when she heard those those words leave his mouth.

"I love you."

"What?"

"I love-"

"I heard you the first time. Just wanted to hear it again."

☢︎︎☢︎︎☢︎︎

I laughed when he covered his eyes in embarrassment.

"Eunhyuk."

"Yes?"

"Do you think I love you?"

"Surely you do. Right?" He gulped.

I ran my hand through his hair. Admiring his features for little before speaking up.

"I haven't met anyone like you before. So...caring. I admire you for that."

"You do?" I nodded.

We stood there in silence. I could tell he was nervous as he waited for an answer from me.

"I loved you ever since I saw you at the elevator the day this whole shit show started."

He lets a sigh of relief and composed himself.

"Its moments like these that make me fall in love with you a little more everyday." His hand wrapped around my waist as he pulled me in for a loving kiss.

We stayed like that for a while.

"Let's head back to the other's. I wanna talk about future plans, and I'm sure you do too?"

He grabs my hand and nods. "Of course I do."

"But first,"

He stops in his tracks.

"I need you to go talk to Eun-yu. Now. Go."

"Min-"

"Hyuk I'll go with you and wait for you down the hall. 'Kay?"

He nodded as we headed towards the supply room that connects to an infirmary.

"You'll thank me later." I shoved him down the hall to where she was in the room.

I hid behind a door and peeped through the crack of the hinges.

I observed them. He helped her with her bandage as she helped him with her glasses.

'How thoughtful.' I smile to myself.

Eun-yu got up and went to leave. She stopped when she saw me standing next to the door.

"I'm sorry. For treating you the way that I did." She walks off before I can reply.

"She's changing for the better, don't you think?" I turn to Eunhyuk who was teary eyes.

"Y-yeah, she is."

I pull him into a hug, rubbing his head in the process.

"Be proud you two were able to settle something."

—————-

"Son of a bitch. Fuck." I whispered to myself as the others watched black liquid go down the shower drains.

'Meet me by electronics with Mr.Han, over.'

'Already walking, over.'

I put my walkie back in my pocket and sighed.

"We still have large buckets with water left. Don't be greedy and share if you guys want to live."

I walked away from the crowd and made my way to electronics.

"The water tanks been contaminated."

I nodded. "We thought we all had at least 15 more days of water left."

"You're being serious? Without any water we're all dead."

We gathered our thoughts in silence.

"Is your leg alright now?" Hyuk asked.

"This? Can't feel a damn thing." He repeatedly poked the wound.

"Still, it could get infected. Make sure you get it treated."

Mr.Han squinted and chuckled.

"Whats with the glasses? I can fix them for you."

"I actually like them this way." Hyuk lets out a light chuckle.

I smiled to myself and rubbed his back gently.

"I heard a rumor that you two were together. Well not a rumor but Su-yeong said she saw you two kissing down the hall yesterday."

I let out a laugh and smiled.

"I had a feeling someone was watching us."
