Second Chance

7

Hina and walk for a while. The sun is setting. I pass her some water.

I can see the street. Just a little longer.

You are handling this quite well yin.

I could say the same about you.

I guess it was all the movies.

If its anything like the movies we know what we have to do.

What are we gonna do now?

We are gonna survive.
 
We get up and leave. I can see the buildings. We followed the train tracks.  But somethings not right. There isnt  any people. It looks stranded. There is some bustling sound from the road up ahead.

Hina wait up. Look.

Cars are abandoned. There are some bodies too. We hide behind some car. The stench of blood is filled in the air. We cover our nose and mouth.

Oh god what the-

I put a hand over her mouth and signal her to keep quiet. I point to some zombies up ahead. I scan the area. Most shops look trashed. Broken windows and doors. Avoid those. They might have some zombies. People were attacked.
Then i spot a store it doesnt look attacked. I point to that store amd hina nods. We hide behind cars and reach the store.

Zombies probably dont know how to open doors right?

Thats what walking dead showed.

Let me see if the coast is clear. She smiles a little.

Roger that. I salute at her with a smile. We look around and i dont see anyone or anything.

Clear she shouts.

Hina i warn.

Oops sorry still not used to this. I just shake my head.

Feels like we are on a mission.

We are. Survival mission hina. And we just scored. In the movies it shows that supply becomes hard to find.

I guess. Oh look we should use these handkerchiefs as masks.
She throws me a green one saying its camouflage. I stock first aid. I search for some knives compass. Matches for fire. No petrol cause it has a smell that might attract attention. Canned food to last longer. Rope in case we need it. Hina takes some sweets cause i quote we need them. She even packs a radio. I dont know how she even found one. She even found flashlights. Nice. Its dark now.

we are coping so well. Im kinda excited. Is that weird?

Tbh im excited too though im worried about my family.

Oh your phone. Mine died out. Is there any net?

Right. Lemme see.

Hina checks her phone. There is lots of emergency warnings.

Hina the sound. Hina panics and turns it down. She checks in with her family they seem to be ok just worried about her. She checks the news turns out the zombie apocalypse was only in korea. People were told to evacuate immediately. I guess everyone ran.

Then we heard the door creak slowly. We both hide behind the shelves. Thought it was zombies but it wasnt.

Namjoon Hyung youre stepping on my foot.

Jin hyung amogotto amboyeo. Shine the light here.

Stop pushing me.

Im sure i heard sth here.

Soelma zombies aniji.

No pabo i heard sth else.

They speak in korean.I slide a kitchen knife i found to hina. I clutch a chopping knife tightly. Hina turns her flashlight on and we point it to them.

Hands up..? Hina says confused.

I nudge her. We gotta protect our territory.

We have weapons better not try anything. She says.

Yeah we will cut you open . I say from her side.Then they shine light to us.

Ahh kal isseo.

Bohangonday.

It was bts. Jhope and jin looked scared but jin protectively shielded the rest.Jimin v jk were fighting for the phone and stopped midway. Suga just stood there with fists up. Rm looked relieved?

Oh its you two. Thank god.

So you guys left.

Yeah. We followed the train tracks and then we met some zombies. We ran and reached here. Some of the phones are dead. We didnt know what to do. Its dark out there with no one. Then i heard sth from here. Im so glad its you two.

Rm said like a verse of his rap.I glare at hina. It was her phone. I always kept my phone at silent i didnt know why hers was at full volume.

Probably heard the alerts from my phone. We found this store and were planning to spend the night here.

Can we stay here with you two. The other places looked unsafe. If its no problem.

I look at hina wide eyes.

Come on yin. Its not like we own this place. Where will they go?

I guess she is right. They will probably attract zombies and somehow they might come here. Better keep them under control so that they wont cause any trouble for us.

Fine lets go to the staff room.
bring what you need. We will be in that room.

Thank you so much.  He explains to his members. They seem happy. And about to cheer. I shush them. They just smile.

Be quiet and dont turn on the lights.

I search for lamp and some mattress. Maybe some blankets too. No pillow.
I duct tape the window and layer it so no noise or light will go out.
