Monsters

~°~17~°~

(Minki's POV)

It had been a few days, supplies were at their lowest.

Chenle wasn't getting any better and he was now bed ridden, barely being able to move.

We were gonna have to go out again, we had to get him medicine and food so that he could try to get better.

I was so scared that he wouldn't make it in the time we had to be out.

I made my way down to the living room, seeing almost all the boys there playing games again since there wasn't ever really anything to do.

I gently tapped my foot against the floor, making all of their heads turn to me. "We need to go out again. Chenle isn't doing well and we're running out of food. I'll be going again. Yuta, Taeyong, Sungjin, Dowoon, Jae and Lucas are coming too." They all nodded.

Jeno and Jaemin came running up to me, clinging onto my shirt. "Wait! Hyung! What are we gonna tell Chenle if he asks about you?" I ruffled their hair. "You tell him the truth. Please watch over him while we're gone." They nodded, determination glittering in their eyes.

I left soft kisses on their temples before walking to my room, changing and grabbing my bat, along with a long machete I had found while out on an expedition last time. I took a deep breath, looking up at the ceiling. 'Boys be with us.'

I walked downstairs and waited for the other boys to meet me at the door.

----+----

We slowly made our way to the back gate, listening closely for any infected around the area.

I nodded silently to them and we carefully made our way out, keeping our eyes and ears peeled as we made our trek around the lake, hiding behind rocks and checking the stand points of all the infected.

As we were heading through the woods to the town however, an infected saw us.

Sungjin stepped forward.

"You guys go ahead, I can take it and meet you there." I frowned heavily. "Are...are you sure Sungjin?" He nodded, flashing a smile just as the monster sprinted at him.

A loud sound came from his weapon as he hit the infected, attracting more. Dowoon and Jae quickly ran to their leader, frowning heavily. "Go!" Dowoon yelled, holding his weapon infront of him. "We'll hold them off!"

I shook my head. "No! There's way too many! If your fighting we're fighting with you!" I growled out, standing beside Dowoon, holding my weapons in each hand, ready to fuck up some infected.

We all got ready as the whole hoard from infront of our house came at us. I took a deep breath, crouching slightly, my eyes narrowing.

----+----

I was covered in black blood as I fought, ignoring the burning in my arms as I started getting tired, only really running off adrenaline right now.

I heard a panicked yell and looked to see Lucas pinned to the ground, his bat in the things mouth as he tried to kick it away.

I ran quickly over, planting my machete right in it's head, almost cutting through, turning and slamming an infected into the ground with my bat, hitting it again for good measure.

I grabbed Lucas's arm, inspecting him really quick before going back to it.

I looked to see Dowoon being hidden behind Sungjin as they were cornered. I ran over, doing my best to help and narrowly avoiding being bit.

I huffed heavily, scanning and seeing that both of them had bites. My face went stony at this. "You're bit." I grunted.

Before they could say anything their eyes rolled back into their heads and they launched at me.

I had successfully killed Sungjin but Dowoon seemed to be much stronger, getting me into the position that Lucas was just in minutes ago.

I glared, reaching out with one arm to get my machete.

Suddenly, blood splashed on my face and Dowoon's body was kicked away from me.

I looked up at Jae who was crying and panting heavily. He helped me up and looked me over before doing something I hadn't expected.

He pulled me into an aggressive kiss.

I shoved him away, wiping my mouth and glaring. "What the fuck man?" He rolled his eyes, lowering his weapon. "I just saved your ass. You should be thanking me." I glared hard, squatting down and grabbing my machete before pointing it at his neck. "Forcing me to kiss you is not something I am going to thank you for. I'm sorry you had to kill your friends but chill the fuck out. Don't touch me."

I stabbed the machete beside him, effectively scaring him as the infected's body dropped. I continued to glare at him. "There. We're even." I then ran off to help Taeyong and Yuta, my mouth in a heavy frown.

----+----

We had finally finished off the whole hoard.

Heavy breaths filled the air as I stood with my hands on my hips, a scowl still on my face from earlier. "Let's get the supplies and get home. I'm tired of today already. We'll make crosses for Dowoon and Sungjin."

Nods went around and we continued on our way to the town, successfully getting everything we needed before making our way back, thankfully not running into anymore infected.

----+----

I watched as the boys in the house watched us come in through the front gate, all running out, Jeno and Jaemin having tears in their eyes.

I walked past them, standing infront of Wonpil and Younghyun. I placed my hands on their shoulders. "I'm sorry for your loss. We're going to be making them crosses like we do with our boys."

Both boys stared at me in shock, eyes filling with tears as they nodded. I walked away, bumping shoulders with Jae as I went past.

I stood infront of Jaemin and Jeno.

"It looks like you boys have something you want to tell me." I said softly. They looked worried, nodding slowly. "I...it's Lele.." Jaemin started. "He's not doing too good, he got worse hyung." Jeno finished for him as their eyes filled up more than before.

I nodded softly, pulling them in for a hug. "It's gonna be okay, I promise. We have more medicine and more food so he should be getting better in no time." I felt them nod against me, tears still falling from their eyes and they held on tightly to my shirt. I just hugged them closer, placing soft kisses on them, starting to feel numb.
